"Ipinahayag kong wikang mairog,
ng buntonghininga, luha at himutok
ang matinding sintang ikinalluluno
magpahangga ngayon ng buhay kong kapos.
Ano itong papel na ito? Galing kay Drake. Nakasulat na pumunta ra ako sa park mamaya. Galit kaya siya? Anong importanteng sasabihin niya? Nagmadali ako. Kailangang hindi ako mahuli.
"Drake! I'm so sorry I didn't make it last night. Please forgive me. Promise tonight.'
"Will you stop it with your promises! You will just keep on breaking it. Don't make me look like a fool." Iba ang tono ng boses niya ngayon."
"Drake please."
"Answer my question! Do you like Lyndon?" sigaw niya
Nagulat ako. "What he's just my bestfriend."
"Just tell the truth. Please... Be honest with whta you feel." Galit na siya.
Nagbuntonghininga muna ako. 'Do you really want to know the truth? Well, yes I do have feelings for him!" sigaw ko
"What happened? I thought we will be together forever?"
"All the times that I felt lonely and alona he was there for me when I actually needed you. You weren't the only one that lacked attention."
"Iza, I thought I could trust you. But I was wrong. people chang over time. I guess this is the moment we'll have to say goodbye. We're over. I cannot stay in a relationship that is only one sided. It is hard to love someone who loves someone else. I'm letting you go now Iza because I live you. Thank you for all the wonderful memories we had."
Umalis siyang umiiyak pati ako naiyak. Nabigla ako at nasbing may gusto ako kay Lyndon. Nalilito ako. Bakit ganoon? Nitong mga nakaraang araw si Dondon ang gustung-gusto kong makita. Maaari kayang tuluyan na akong nahulog na ako ng tuluyan sa bestfriend ko? Mahal ko si Drake pero mas mahal ko si Lyndon. Mahirap labanan ang sinisigaw ng puso ko. Alam ko namang kaibigan lang ang tingin niya sa kin. Ayokong umasa. Mafifriendzone lang naman ako ehh.
