False-hearted

Chapter Two

Dahil hindi siya sure kung makakasama ba niya si Kim sa party ni Frencheska niyaya niya si Barbie.

"Barang samahan mo ako. Punta tayo ng party ni Maqui. Busy kasi si Kim bukas, you know naman pag Sunday."

"Ay bukas? Hmmn parang i can't eh. May pupuntahan kasi kami ni Jak and di ko alam kung anong oras makakauwi."

"Ah okay. Kasi Barang..."

"Ano yun Chulie Eyn?"

"Ano kasi.."

"Ano nga?! What's bothering you ba? You're spacing out lately, akala mo hindi ko nahahalata yun? Ako pa ba Julie?"

"Wala lang to Barang, pagod lang lately."

"Oh my God! Julie are you?"

"What?! Oh no! Gosh Barang! I'm still a virgin noh! Oh my God grabe ka sa akin! Hahaha"

"Baka lang naman bumigay ka sa baby boy mo."

"He's not like that, you know him."

"Ah.. Okay. I guess you're bored na?"

"Hmmn... Bored? Sa ano?"

"Sa life, sa relationship, sa work?"

"I don't know, lately.. Okay. It's between the two of us lang ha."

"Of course, alangan namang ikukwento ko kay Kim? Bet mo?"

"Gaga! Hahaha. Ano kasi parang ano kasi lately hmmn... how would i say it ba?"

"Simplehan mo lang, like bored kana sa relationship niyo ni Kim?"

Hindi sumagot si Julie. Tiningnan niya lang ang kaibigan.

"Oh nah! Confirmed. Love life nga. Bakit? You're relationship is close to perfect, sabi mo nga di ba? Bakit? Anong problema?"

"I don't know Barang, but it's been two or three weeks already na parang things suddenly fizzled out... but i can't figure out sa anong aspect ng life ko banda. Funny noh?"

"Ha? Sa career mo check na check eh, sa family okay din, friends, parang okay din naman. Love life? Nagkikita ba kayo palagi?"

"Hmmn... Hindi gaano, but were okay naman eh."

"So ano ang problema Julie Anne?" Seryoso nang nagtatanong si Barbie sa kaibigan.

"Honestly Barang nagugulohan ako. Alam mo it's like parang may kulang pa rin, i can't figure out kung ano. I don't know."

"Julie, are you happy with Kim?"

"Yeah... Siguro naman. Yeah, i'm happy naman."

Sagot ni Julie, habang inoobserbahan naman siya ng maigi ni Barbie.

"Do you really love him?"

"Ha? Hmmn...Ano ba namang tanong yan Barang, of course naman kaya ko nga sinagot di ba?"

"Julie yung totoo?"

"Mahal ko nga. You know me Barang, hindi ko sasagutin yan kung wala akong naramdaman. Sobrang bait ni Kim, who wouldn't fall for him?"

"Maybe yes, maybe no Julie. Kasi look Julie, if you really love him you'll never feel that emptiness na sinasabi mo."

"You got it Barang! That, that.. I felt may kulang pa rin, emptiness that's it! Parang may kulang pa rin na hinahanap ko na ewan... I don't know Barang mahal ko naman siguro."

"Or dahil madalang lang kayong nagkikita?"

"Ewan ko nga alam Barang, hindi naman siguro."

"Eh ano? Dahil bored ka dahil walang ganap, ganern?"
