"Medyo complicated na itong subject na ito kaya if I were you, I will take each items lightly. Wag ka nang papastress kasi pag natabunan ka na ng pressure, mas lalo kang hindi makakasagot."

Erin ended our discussion with an advice. Ang dami ko ngang natutunan sa kanya eh. I bet she's an outstanding student back then. Mas marami pa nga akong natutunan sa kanya kaysa sa professor namin eh.

And her presence is so light!

She's so mabait and fun to be with!

It's like kahit we spend the whole day together, hindi ako magsasawa because she is so kind and she has a very positive humor.

"Ate, you are so kind! Thank you very much." I said with a smile.

"Ano ka ba! Wag ka na ngang mag-ate. Halos magka-edad lang naman tayo eh. Pag kay Sean nga hindi ka naman na nag-kukuya diba."

"Oh right. Can we be friends na? I have very few friends kasi because they always call me maarte. Hindi naman diba. I mean, if they get to know me well, hindi naman ako ganun." I said while pouting.

"Oo naman! Friends na tayo."

Napapalakpak naman ako sa tuwa nang mag-agree siya na maging friends na kami. Actually, Kuya Yael or Yael nalang din siguro volunteered to teach me Business Finance and FABM 2 kaya lang biglang umalma si Erin.

She said wala naman daw talagang natutunan si Yael nun dahil puro siya kopya.

I really admire their friendship.

Parang ang lalim na nun eh. I also learned na six sila sa squad nung meron pa si Abigail. Eh ako, it's so often lang namang mangyari sa akin yun.

I only experienced that kind of friendship with Jessica, Irene and Dae.

"You know what you are so pretty Erin, don't you have a boyfriend?" I asked her out of the blue.

"Wala."

"Weh? Kahit crush lang, wala ka? That's impossible noh!" Nakangiting sabi ko.

"Meron akong crush. Nasa America."

"Ayieee! May namimiss!" Rinig ko namang pang-aasar ni Yael from the kitchen.

Inirapan lang siya ni Erin kaya natawa nalang ako. They look cute! Sino kaya ang crush niya? Siguro, kasama sa squad nila or not? But I bet na gwapo ang crush niya.

"Eh how about Ryseann?" I asked naman.

"Bakit hindi siya ang tanungin mo?" Sabi niya.

"He won't answer for sure. You know that guy is so private and grumpy, right? I don't know anything much about him but I managed to have a conclusion that he is still in love with someone. Abigail right?" Bulong ko naman.

"Probably. Malaki ang pagmamahal niya kay Abigail although it was full of regrets and what ifs."

Hindi na ako nag-abalang magtanong pa kay Erin about Ryseann. Ayaw ko namang isipin niyang masyado akong nanghihimasok sa buhay ng kaibigan niya.

But honestly, I was so curious about what really happened. Why was his love full of regrets and what ifs?

Was it because Abigail died to early than he wished to last?

"Eh ikaw nga matanong ko?" Sabi niya.

"Sure!" I replied then smiled.

"Sure kang friends lang kayo ni Sean?" Nailang tuloy ako sa titig niya.
