Bryan's PoV
I always had this necklace with me. Half heart containing the words "I love you". Mom told me it's a gift from Marie. And that she has the other half, but I don't feel anything special with her. From what I remember, I think I even hated her. I don't know. Turns out she's my close friend now.
I can't stand not seeing this necklace, it feels like I want to see the other half, which Marie lost years ago. Parang may mabubuong kwento pag nakita ko yung kalahati ng pusong to.
"Why do you always stare at that necklace?" Marie
"Nothing. I just feel relaxed when I see it"
"Andito naman na ko bakit yan pa tinititigan mo?"
"I hate your face"
"Still the rude boy you are even before you lost her"
"What?"
"I said even before I lost the other half of the necklace. You're always rude"
"That's me. Deal with it"
"I am dealing with it obviously haha"
"Tss. What do you need?"
"Some papers are for your signature. Here"
"Oh okay. I'll give it to you later"
"Ok. Lunch later?"
"No thanks"
"Ok. Meet me up at the lobby. I don't want to starve"
"I said no"
"I take that as a yes so..."
"Bahala ka nga tss"
"Good. See ya at lunch!"
"B!!"
"Yes M??"
"Look oh!" sabi ni M sabay pakita ng couple necklace
"Couple necklace??"
"Yes!! And I made it personalized!"
"How?"
"It has our names! Look! Yung black may pangalan ko, yung silver pangalan mo naman yung nasa likod"
"Really?"
"Tapos yung nasa harap yung feelings natin"
"Feelings?"
"Oo. I love you"
"I love you too"
"Eehhh sinasabi ko yung nakasulat di ako nag-I love you sayo!!"
"So you don't love me?"
"Of course I do!"
"Haha. I know. Thanks for this M. Though dapat ako yung bumili neto"
"Bakit? Bawal ba magregalo ang babae?"
"Hindi naman"
"Yun naman pala ehh haha"

Bryan's PoV
It's been a long day. Nakakapagod sa opisina. Nakakapagod pang mag-isip sa mga flashbacks na lumalabas saken recently.
Pagdating ko sa bahay, Maggy is cleaning up. I don't know why she does that. May katulong naman.
"Maggy you're my slave not maid"
"Ehh bored na bored ako dito sir hayaan niyo na ko"
"Gusto mo sumama ka na lang saken sa office?"
"Ok lang ako B"

"Why did you call me B?"
"Wala sir. Hindi ko din alam"
"Are you serious??"
"Oo nga sir!! Ano ba meron sa letter B?"
"N-nothing"
"Sir kain ka na"
"No thank you"
"Hala ka bat di ka magddinner??"
"Why do you fcking care?"
"I don't. Baka lang kapag nagkasakit kayo mawalan pa ko ng sweldo"

"That doesn't sound good"
"I know haha"
"Anyways you're coming with me tomorrow. No more buts"
"Pero- hindi but yon sir! Eto naman ehh. Oo na sir!!"
Aakyat na sana si sir Bryan sa kwarto niya ng magsalita ako
"Sir!"
"What?!"
"May schedule ba yung trabaho ko??"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean... araw araw every other day, every weekends??"
Nakita ko naman natawa siya sa tanong ko
"No schedule. Whenever I need pleasure I'll call you. Or I'd go directly to you"
"Pagod naman kayo ngayon sir di ba?" Sana naman jusko
"Don't worry. I'm not in the mood today haha"
"Oy tumawa!!"
"Did I?"
"Oo kaya!"
"Tss. Akyat na ko"
"Ok sir! Good night sleep tight!!"
"Whatever Maggy"
Nandito na ko ngayon sa kwarto malapit sa kwarto ni sir Bryan. Inaayos ko yung mga nadala kong gamit ng may malaglag na kwintas.
Pinulot ko yung kwintas na putol na kulay silver na parang half heart. Akin ba to? Sabi sakin ng nakakita saken dati hawak hawak ko daw to at ayaw kong bitawan nung makita nila ako sa dalampasigan. May sinasabi pa daw ako pero malabo para sa kanila na maintindihan yung pangalan.
Tiningnan ko yung likod ng kwintas
"ryan? Sino kaya talaga si ryan?? Ryan ba talaga to?? O... Bryan?? Eh bakit naman magiging Bryan yon?? Tss Maggy talaga"
Sa kanya kanyang kwarto tinititigan lang nila pareho ang kwintas na hindi nila alam anong kahalagahan sa buhay nila. Parehong walang naaalala at parehong naghahanap ng sagot sa mga lumalabas na eksena sa memorya nila.
Nakatulog na lang sila hawak hawak ang kwintas na tanging susi nila sa mga nawalang memorya.
