"NAKO, EH BAKIT NGAYON LANG? PAGKATAPOS NG ANIM NA TAON? NGAYON LANG BUMALIK?"

"Siguro hinintay niya lang talaga mamatay ang lolo niya? Alam mo naman ang nangyari noon diba?"

"Harsh naman ng mamatay."

"Ano gusto mong sabihin ko? May weaker word ba ang mamatay? Ano gusto mo, mdedz, ganon?" Napakamot sa ulo si Rose nang sabihin iyon ni Luigi. Inilingan ko lamang ito.

Hinilamos ko ang aking mukha gamit ang aking palad habang kumakain ng fries na dala ni Luigi. Nasa condo ko sila ngayon at hindi ko na alam kung sino ang papakinggan ko sa sobrang ingay nilang dalawa.

"Stop, both of you. Ang iingay niyo." bwisit kong tugon. Natigilan naman silang dalawa at binalingan ako nang may halong reaksyon. Bigla silang tumabi sa akin at nakikuha na rin ng fries.

"Ano na plano mo?" I looked at Rose who seemed so mad about the situation. I shook my head as a response.

"Nothing. Why would I even bother paying attention to his act, anyway? I'm here, only for work." I replied.

"Eh paano kung di mo siya mapapayag? Paano kung sa susunod, ikaw na kapalit?" Rose asked. Ngumuso ako sa sinabi niya.

"Siguro naman hindi niya iyon gagawin, he seemed professional enough not to based on such things. He's really just testing me." I replied.

"We don't know what we'll happen after some time Carrie. We also don't know what his real intentions are." Luigi said. Tinapik ko ang braso niya.

"Wait, dejavu ba to? " singit ni Rose. Natawa ako sa sinabi nito.

"If you're worried about me falling for his trap, don't. I don't see any other reason to get back with him."

"Wala ka na ba talagang nararamdaman sa kaniya?" Rose asked me. I smiled at her as I questioned myself silently.

"I honestly do not know, maybe my heart is really locked as of the moment. Yes, I loved him so much, before. But now? I just can't seem to explain what I'm feeling towards him. A part of me seemed to miss him, but when I look at him, I don't feel the old spark, I guess I'm just haunted by my memories." I explained to them. Sabay pa silang bumuntong hininga na ikinangiti ko.

"Alam mo, ang dami nang nagbago sayo. Hindi lang physical appearance, pati na ito." Rose said in a gloomy tone as she pointed my left chest.

"Dati kasi, what you always do is to love and forgive. You always choose kindness despite of the cruelty that you've been dealing with, especially your parents. Your decisions were always based on your emotions. "

"I chose logic thinking, this time. I guess I've dealt with the fact that one's emotions don't play a good role in making any decisions in your life. Like how we bring up insensitive words towards each other just because we're mad or sad without even thinking about it. They just seemed to be the greatest weakness of a person. Well, that's for me and that's what my life taught me."

"We're always here for you, whenever, wherever and whatever happens. Mmkay?"
Marahan akong tumango at nagpatuloy sa pagkain ng fries.

It was a typical Sunday and I came up going to the gym right after I went to the mass. Naka sports bra ako ngayon na pinatungan ng loose crop top at black leggings. Threadmill lang naman ang gagawin ko dahil gusto ko lang naman magpapawis. I still have to contact Harper today because of Nate's suggestions for the proposed systems.
