"How was you and Tee?"
I asked with a straight face while focusing on my dinner.
"I.. I already let him go phi~ you don't have to worry about that."
I stopped. What?
"You told me he's really determined."
"He is."
"Then why?"
"What do you mean why phi?"
"Why did he left you?"
"Phi..."
"Yes?"
"My mind is already in a mess. I know you have answer to that question."
"Cop---"
"Phi, let's stop running in circles. If you can't accept me.. it's fine.. but please.. don't do it that way.."
"Cop, I already told you that I accept you for who you are--"
"You thought you did but I guess you didn't phi.. it is never your intention to meet and know Tee.. I was.. hopeful.. but I'm wrong..."
"Are we fighting because of that moron?!"
"We're fighting because I'm hurt."
I got silent.
"I'm sorry.. I didn't mean for this conversation to get this far.. the food is great.. I have assignments.. I'll go ahead.."
I sat silently.
Now I know why my brother's phone been vibrating non stop.. why he's always rushing whenever I pick him at school.. why he seemed not to open his social media.. why he asked to get food before dropping him off telling me he prefer to not eat in the cafeteria.. and why he looked listless for the past few days.
Damn.
I realize that it's not Tee who left him..
it's my brother.
