Ikatlo

1

"Paui Sandoval?"

"I wont see her by now, Ikatlo is dating her i think?"

Paui Sandoval, the first Pinay who the gold medal in seagames. The running for Summa Cum Laude, the writer of the first thesis which was presented in Canada - the one he's seeing right now.

"Beatriz, you are spacing out again! Ano ba 'yang pinapanood mo?"

Celina, my friend look at my phone. Mikaela's vlog is still playing. He is interviewing Jojo Lozano, one of the basketball player in town. I heard they are dating.

Just like him.

"Ow really? He's seeing Paui right now? Paano nya nakilala yon? I heard she's a private person."

I look at my phone again and see that Celina is currently stalking Paui's instragram account.

"I dont know. You know naman Ikatlo di ba? He has a lot of friends."

"Eh how come, they are seeing each other eh madalas kayong magkasama lately di ba?"

Natahimik ako. Hindi ko rin kasi alam isasagot ko. We are seeing each other too. Pumupunta sya sa bahay. I go to their house din. We go roadtrip. We eat at different barbeque house. We do anything a lot but how come i did not know about Paui.

"How do you feel about it?"

"Wala, should i feel something?"

Literally, i should noy feel something 'cause i am just his friend. Ganon naman talaga sya eh. He hang out with everyone. Pwede nga syang tumakbong konsehal kasi ang dami nyang kilala.

"Totoo ba?" Celina ask me and i can see that she's not believing on what I say.

"Oo nga. Dont be so makulit. Lets go get some milktea. G ka ba?"

She hurriedly get up on my bed upon hearing milktea. I suddenly get my car keys too.

"Maki sent me a pm, kita raw tayo sa Eastwood. Doon nalang tayo magmilktea."

"Okay, tell her to order na for us kapag nauna sya ha."

While driving i am thinking about Paui and him. I saw again Paui's billboard. She is also a endorser of an energy drink. Maganda talaga sya. She knows how to project in camera while here i am, still awkward about my pictorials.

"Oh Bei, tahimik ka na naman. Whats bothering you ba?"

"Cel, am i not pretty?"

"You are pretty."

"Paano ba tumalino?"

"You are smart, Ms. Deans Lister."

"But not that smart."

Kumunot ang noo ni Cel.

"Where is this going ba?Why are you asking that?"

"Paui."

Buti nalang nakastop kami kundi i will be distracted.

"What about her? Is it about Ikatlo ba? Dont mind them Bei. Ano ba this is not so you ha."

I did not answer her 'cause we are approaching the entrance of the parking na.

I did my things and wrap my arms around Cel's arms we are walking na towards the main mall. Maki is already in the milktea house.

"Bei, tara sa ibang way nalang tayo dumaan."

"Ha? Why ba?"

I look at the direction she's staring at.

Tsk.

Its Ikatlo and Paui, holding each other's hand while eating ice cream.

They look so happy and my heart aches.
