Diana's POV
Umupo ako malapit kay Dino. Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya,
"Don't worry. Kahit anong mangyari, I will always choose you. Kaya gumising ka na please. Kailangan ka namin ni Dylan. I need you Dino." Hindi ko namalayang pumapatak na pala ang mga luha sa mata ko.
It's just like the first time met him, sa park na lagi kong pinupuntahan. Sa park kung san may memories din kami ni Franki.
Naaalala ko pa, I was crying on that swing one afternoon. I was just 6 years old. He sat down beside me.
Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come, my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday
"What's wrong?." He asked.
I didn't answer.
"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person." Di ko parin siya pinansin, bagkos ay umalis nalang ako without even saying a thing.
6 years later, I got into trouble in school and didn't want to let my parents know about it so I just messaged random strangers online to borrow money. And among those 30 people I've asked, only Dino agreed without having any second thoughts. Little did I know that he was that same boy from 7 years ago.
So dun kami talagang nakameet formally. Sabi pa nga niya,
"Sa lahat ng babaeng nakilala ko, ikaw ang pinakahindi ko makakalimutan."
"Bakit?." Tanong ko.
"Anong bakit? Syempre inutangan mo ko nun kahit di man lang tayo magkakilala haha." Binatukan ko tuloy siya.
"Aray, ba't ka ba nambabatok?."
"Wala. Ano? Aangal ka?."
"H-hindi. Sabi ko nga, donation yun." Sabi nya nalang.
At some point of my life, I really did got attached to him. Okay, I like him more than I should. And it's not just simply platonic. It's something really really really really really really really really really really really really really really special.
Grade 7 pa ako nun. May iba naman akong crushes pero siya ang pinakamatindi sa kanilang lahat. Matindi kasi sa kanya yung pinakawalang chance. So wala, wala nalang akong ginawa.
Tapos nalaman pa namin na highschool friends ang parents namin. It felt perfect. We were best friends. Like inseparable kami. We sat there again on the same swing one night and I told him,
"I wish I could just marry you." And I mean it.
"Sus, wag ako haha. Ang dami dami mong crush, ayoko ng may maraming kaagaw. Baka mangyari nyan kahit na kasal na tayo, lumilingon ka parin sa iba."
"Grabe ka naman sakin, hindi naman."
"Basta ayoko."
"Balang araw, kakainin mo rin yan."
"Sana mabusog ako."
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together, still going strong
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
Kaya kinalimutan ko nalang yung nararamdaman ko for him at itinuon nalang ang attention ko sa iba ko pang crushes na kay Franki naman lahat nagkakainteres. Nangyari tuloy si Franki na mismo nagustuhan ko. At sa kanya pa talaga naging mutual.
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
Ain't nothing better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missing
Pero bandang huli bumalik parin ako kay Dino. And the moment na una kong nakita si Dylan, I know that it's really time for me to settle down.
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
This is the life that I never thought I would love in the long run. Kung gising lang sana si Dino hindi ko na maiisip pang balikan si Franki. Kaya nga gustong gusto kong gumising na siya.
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
You're still the one
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come, my baby

Franki's POV
Nasa office ako alone with this Ken Gil guy. In fairness, mukhang something nga to. Someone I'd want from a guy.
Tahimik lang kami nang,
"Uhm hi. Sorry for causing you this awkward atmosphere." Sabi niya.
"It's okay. Ako nga nahihiya sayo eh. Kinulit ka siguro ng sister ko."
"Well, not really. Actually, I volunteered." He said still staring at me. I swear, this guy's making me feel uncomfortable.
"Oh."
"Oh let me introduce myself again. I'm Ken Gil. An actor and director. Ako yung director nung show na ininterview kayong dalawa ni Mrs. Sawyer, I mean--Diana." Seriously? Kailangan pa ba talaga nyang banggitin yun?. Franki chill, hindi niya naman alam.
"I heard close friends kayo before. Why didn't you mention that in the interview?."
"Siguro that time medyo may personal issues pa kami about that so called friendship." I air quoted.
"Pero, okay naman siguro kayo ngayon no? Nung last time ata you're both all over the tabloids, dahil daw gustong sumama sayo nung anak niya."
"Napalapit lang sakin ang loob nung bata. Dylan just wanted to spend time with me a bit longer. Yung normal lang na pagkamatigas ng ulo ng mga bata. Nakikita ko namang mabuting mommy si Diana." Mabuti rin syang asawa at girlfriend. Saksi ako dun.
"I see. Anyway, baka isipin mo naman masyado akong namemersonal. Iba nalang pag-usapan natin. How's the business?. Blablablaba.."
Niyaya pa nya akong kumain sa labas para sabay na kami mag lunch. I think okay naman siya. He's nice. Medyo mahangin lang, pero okay narin.
Unang araw pa naman.
Unang araw pa, ibig sabihin mahirap pang palitan si Diana sa puso ko.
