Kate! I'm surprised to see you tonight!

The best frenemy I have in the group welcomed us looking so surprised seeing me with someone.

But of course, what are you expecting?

I don't try to hide my disgusted look. How I wish she won't ask anything coz I will just ruin this night. I'm sure you're wondering what sort of past-fight did we have? Ahh, you know, just childhood rivalry to the campus crush, that is luckily her husband now, my first love.

Oh, yeah, that you haven't gotten over my husband, haha. Oops, sorry!

She made a peace sign I fake a smile, but not hiding the fakeness of it.

Ahh...ang asawa mo na pinikot mo lang kaya ka pinakasalan.  Yeah, how could I forget him being the reason I got the first heartbroken at the same time losing the first best friend I had...

 

Haha, you're such a good joker.

 

You know I hate kidding around, di bagay sa edad ko.

Pffed all the composure she had now showing irritation.

You know the night is too young. Enjoy it where your comfort zone is, and we both knew it's not with me. Now will you please excuse us?

 

I drag him leaving that tupperware behind.

I thought everyone of you here are friends, like so close to each other? Bffs?

 

That's true. Was. Somewhat. At some degree. As for her, we still care and helps each other as friends, but not in this term of issues. I just hate her repeating the past everytime she sees me. And having different lives now spending little time together, surely things are bound to change.

 

Because you haven't gotten over her husband.

That's more of a statement, not a question.

I smiled then nod.

In fact, I want to dump you now for asking too much about my personal life.

He put up his hands to show he's begging off then gestured on zipping his mouth.
