CHAPTER 6

Julia's POV

FLASHBACK

Nasa church ako nang mapansin kong parang may nakatingin sakin sa side ng mga lalaki kaya nilingon ko at tama nga ako. He's wearing glasses, cute naman sya.

Nang mag-abot ang tingin namin, he smiled at me. Pero umiwas nalang ako nang tingin na parang nahihiya.

"..and that was the day I first saw Dennis. Ang bata bata pa namin, siguro elementary pa kami pareho. Iba pa yung crush ko nun, si Paulo pa. Yung first love ko." Kwento ko kay Stella habang nasa kwarto kami. Minamasahe ko na naman kasi sya, pero nakaupo lang kami this time. Habang nakatalikod siya sakin.

Tulog na kasi yung iba.

"Speaking of first love, san na yung first love mo kamo?."

"Hindi ko na alam. Minister kasi yung daddy nya, kaya madalas lumilipat talaga sila ng tinitirhan."

"That must broke your heart hard before no?."

"What? Nope. It didn't. A woman broke my heart for the first time."

"Akala ko ba you're straight?."

"I am haha. I wasn't referring to a love interest. It's someone really close to my heart, a relative."

"What happened?."

"She married the man of her dreams. Alam mo ba yung pakiramdam na andun ka mismo sa kasal nila? Lahat na ginawa mo para di matuloy yun kasi ayaw mong iwan ka nya, dahil sya lang yung naging kakampi mo. And the worst thing I could do is to wait for nothing. Wait for her to come back, she's like my mother na eh. Because my real mom never had time for me. And I was there in front of our house waiting for her each and every day hanggang sa naghigh school na ko. Ano ba yan, naiiyak na tuloy ako ngayon--"

"It's okay Julia, they said crying is good for the soul. So just cry it all out. I still believe that you're the strongest." She said hugging me to comfort, rubbing my back.

Stella's POV

That's the reason siguro why she's straight. I know it's ridiculous, pero it makes sense.

A woman once hurt her before, so she probably had the mindset now that if ever she falls in love with a girl, that girl would just break her heart or marry a man someday.

That she doesn't deserve to be someone's number one choice.

Seeing that side of Julia, made me feel certain things inside. Like our souls are suddenly connected. Pinunasan ko ang mga luha nya at tumigil na rin sya sa kakaiyak.

I kissed her forehead,

"Don't worry, I'm here for you. I'm not going to hurt you like she did." I sincerely said, staring directly at those reddened eyes. Pulling her again in a warm embrace.

KINABUKASAN

Namasyal pasyal kami kasama ang coaches sa lahat ng pwedeng puntahan dito sa Bacolod. Halos buong araw yun lang ginawa namin.

Pagbalik sa room.

Wala na yung gamit ng mga kasama namin.

"Oo nga pala, ngayon na uwi nung 3. Nakapag-impake ka naba? Maaga tayong uuwi bukas."

"Oo naman, girlscout ata to." She said with a wink. Ang cute talaga ng babaeng to, okay maganda na nga sya. Mali, sobrang ganda niya.

Wait, if wala na yung 3 that means kami lang 2 ni Julia ngayon sa kwarto. Ano to? Ba't kinakabahan ako? Parang merong kung anong mangyayari dito.
