"Uh,uhm" "Ced what are you doing here" tanong ko sa kanya "why di ba pwede, gusto ko lang naman makita ang babaeng mahal ko, pero mukhang ayaw mo so aalis na lang ako" sagot nya "ito naman eh, nagtatanong lang naman ako di ba pwede" "sus kunyare ka pa, alam ko namang alam mo kung bakit ako nandito at tsaka alam ko gusto mo namang andito ako eh" pilosopo niyang sabi "ano sinabi mo" "ang sabi ko ayaw ayaw ka pa, pero alam ko naman na gusto mo ding nandito ako, Claire naman busy ka na nga sa trabaho ipagtatabuyan mo pa ako and plus miss na miss na kita" "Ced never naman akong nawawalan nang time para sa yo at isa pa nagkita din tayo kahapon" "I know pero gusto ko lagi kitang kasama at gusto ko lang na makabonding ka mali ba yun gf naman kita, at nga pala alam ko favs mo to" "ito naman nag abala ka pa, ang sweet naman ng boyfriend ko, kilala mo talaga ako" "syempre girlfriend kita eh, dapat kilala kita, I Love You"sabi niya tsaka ako hinalikan.

"huy, ayun daydreaming ka nanaman eh, si Ced nanaman ang iniisip mo no" pangugulo ni Charles boy bestfriend ko "Charles please lang" "alam mo, mas mabuti kung pumunta ka na sa office kasi magagalit nanaman sayo yung ate mo at magkakasagutan nanaman kayo" "hayaan mo na yun sanay naman na ako dun" "kahit na, you know what eversince nawala si Ced" "please wag na nating pagusapan yun ok" "ayoko ko namang pagusapan eh, pero totoo naman mas naging careless ka sa direksyon ng buhay mo" "its because hes my world, and since he died nasira na ang buhay ko, I lost my world" "for God sake Ivy, its been 2 years, dalawang taon na syang wala, why cant you just move on, why cant you love someone else andito naman ako, at never ever akong nawala sa tabi mo" pasigaw nyang sabi "do you think its that easy ha, try putting yourself in my shoes, do you really think I like this situation, I dont, but theres nothing more I can do cause its done, kaya please wag mo na akong kausapin tungkol dito and you know na hirap akong magmahal ng iba" "im not a stranger Ivy weve known each other for years and you know na matagal na akong may feelings for you even before Cedric came in your life, but I let you go cause I know your happy with him but never nawala yung feeling ko for you" "tama na I dont want to talk about this anymore at kung ayaw mong masira ang friendship nating dalawa, tumigil ka na."

Dumating na ako ng office kung saan nakita ko ang kapatid ko na handa na akong sigawan anytime na gusto niya "Where on earth have you been, your an hour late, you do know our office hours" "relax ok, I just didnt see the time" "whats going on with you recently ha, youve been so careless, youre always late" "ate you know what im going through" "so this is still about Cedric, my God, Ivy Claire its been two years, since that incident, and you still you havent moved on, please try to, its affecting your work" "ate, please hayaan nyo na ako alam mong mahirap to para sakin diba" "I know, and im not forcing you to move on that quick but atleast try kasi alam ko na mahirap cause ive been in your situation as well" "yun naman pala ate eh you know my situation, alam mong nasasaktan ako, kaya hayaan mo na ako, ikaw ba ate nung nagdradrama ka ng iwan ka ni kuya Guel, pinilit ba kita na mag move on agad, diba nga you even filed a leave para lang makapagmove on ka, buti nga ako eh nandito pa diba unlike yo.." sinampal niya ako bago ko pa matapos ang sasabihin ko "enough, how dare you say that" sabi niya then umalis.

Patapos na ang opisina and im just finishing off some files when someone knocked and im not surprised as usual so Charles trying to insist on taking me home "Ivy look about earlier im so sorry, I shouldnt have forced you to well you know" "look its fine, im sorry to I wasnt able to control myself as well" "so bati na tayo and para gumaan na ang loob ko and makapagsorry ako sayo, you wouldnt mind if I would take you out tonight naman diba kasi you have nothing to do naman na" "seems like I cant say no anymore so lets go I will just drop this off the office" "yes, finally lets go" "excited much" "ofcourse minsan ka lang naman pumayag no kaya tara na"

Nandito na kami sa dinner place and like other normal dinner we just had a simple till it came to this topic "So look I know that you well, you are not yet ready to enter a relationship and I accept it, I dont want to force you, yet I wanna know where I stand, do you feel the same way I feel for you" I was shocked by what he said "I" "you what" " I dont know, alam mong ayaw ko ng relasyon and amending my feelings for you is like the same"
"please I just wanna know where I stand" "you wanna know, fine, alam mo na your important me but only as a friend nothing more nothing less" "I havent even started courting you, but I already got rejected amazing" "thats not what I meant ok, I just cant help it, I know im free, but as of now I dont want to fall inlove with someone that im afraid id lose" "you will never lose me, we could be together, we could happy, just be with me" "look you cant force me ok, you know im hurt, and the pain its killing me inside" "I can help you, I promise I would just give me a chance to love you" "I cant cause I dont feel the same way you do, you are a great friend, and I dont want to lose our friendship so please" "look we will never lose this friendship we have, we would even bring it to another level as we enter a relationsh.." "look please, enough I already said no and its done" "mahal kita at hayaan mo naman akong patunayan yun sayo" " alam kong mahal mo ako pero hindi ko pa kaya please tama"
Hinatid niya ako pauwi, pero habang nagdadrive sya di siya komibo, di niya ako kinausap siguro sobra siyang nasaktan dahil di pa nga siya nanliligaw basted na siya agad, oo kasalanan ko pero wala akong magagawa di ko pa talaga kaya eh, ayaw ko pang magmahal ulit dahil natatakot ako na baka mawala din siya.
