Dulce

Psalm where are you?

I want to tell you everything that I'm feeling right now.

"You know Roselynne, you can tell me everything," Third said.

I didn't say anything. Mula nang makarating kami rito sa condo unit niya na may kalayuan sa bakery, hindi ako umiimik. My mind's a mess, I don't even know what to say to him. I don't want to tell him everything. He's a part of Cyrin's family. Baka, kagaya lang din siya ng iba.

So, nasagot na ang tanong sa utak ko. Kaya pala ganun makipagusap si Cyrin sa akin sa text simula noong bumalik siya sa Maynila. Kaya pala magkasama sila sa iisang lugar noong tumawag ako. Kaya pala naging insensitive na ang pakikitungo niya sa akin. I can't believe that our friendship for six years ended like this.

"Ex mo ba yung boyfriend ng pinsan ko?" Third asked and placed a glass of water on the mini table. We're at his living room, and I'm still wearing this gown.

I nodded.

I wanted to ask Aden if he was happy when he posted my pictures. I wanted to ask him if he feels great right now, knowing that I'm in a very messy situation. He's really a jerk, no need for further explanation. I hate him so much.

Alam kaya ni Cyrin ang totoo? Kaya pala palaging niyang sinasabi ang tungkol sa scandal kuno. Siguro nga ay may alam siya.

My phone vibrated. Thea messaged me. I remembered that she followed me and Third at the exit. She was calling my name, several times, and it makes me feel bad because I didn't even glanced at her.

Thea:

Babe I hope you're safe right now. I want to talk to you personally but I can't leave right now. It's my sister's death anniversary and I should be with Mom. Believe me, Cyrin approached me when she knew that we're friends. She told me to do something that might hurt you but I didn't like her, as well as her plans. Please tell me where you are. I'll come after the party.

I sighed and decided not to reply.

"Don't get angry at Thea," Third said. I think he saw Thea's message. "I was there, at the rooftop, when you're having a conversation with Cyrin. I heard everything, and it looked like Althea was involved."

Sumandal ako sa upuan. "Don't tell me, you knew about these too," I massaged my forehead. My head is aching.

"No, I don't know anything about that," he answered. "But I know my cousins. Cyrin's like her sister, she gets crazy for love."

Yes, we all do. But, it's not necessary to hurt your friend for love. Ang immature, sobra. I didn't imagine experiencing this back when we were in high school. Hindi ko naman napaghandaan ang mga ganitong sitwasyon.

"As for Althea," he breathed deeply. "She's the most understanding and kindest among all of us. She wouldn't dare hurting others. Maniwala ka sakin."

From the past few months that I was with her, I agree that she's really kind and understanding. But, I couldn't help it. Dahil sa sinabi ni Cyrin sa kanya, parang bumaligtad na ang lahat. Dahil lang sa sinabi ni Cyrin, naramdaman ko kaagad na tinraydor na naman ako.
