I called ate para sunduin ako sa coffee shop, and she did. nang dumating si ate, nakita ko ang pagaalala sa mata niya, pero napatingin siya sa coffee na nasa table ko. "are you with someone?" she asked confused. I shook my head. "kanino to?" she pointed at the coffee. "mine" i said in a very weak voice, she sat in front of me. "bakit ka umorder niyan? di ka naman nagkakape diba?" she said.
I shrugged "sayo nalang mainit pa yan." I said. she took a sip and I saw her faced wrinkled. "ugh! tapang!" she said as she placed the cup on the table. "so? why are you here?" i gave her a quick smile "I was.. um.. lost?" I lied.
she stared at me as if she was trying to analyze if I was telling the truth. "you know.." she said as she sipped a little coffee. "you're not a good liar." biglang naginit ang gilid ng mata ko. no, no, wag kayong tutulo. not now, please. pero sadyang di sila sumusunod saakin. my tears fell and as hard as I try to stop them from pouring, they just wouldn't.
"O My! Sofia, what happened? tell me? you know you can tell me anything." inabot niya yun kamay ko. "please, please don't cry." she added. I was sobbing and I couldn't find my voice. I wanted to tell her.
inaya ako ni ate umuwi. kasi nakakahiya daw, pinagtitinginan kami ng mga tao. she asked me what happened but I shook my head. tahimik lang kami habang pauwi kami. and when we got home, I went up to my room and cry my self to sleep.
