CONFESSION..
Maaga akong gumising kinabukasan to prepare breakfast.
“Morning..”
Napalingon ko.
“Hi, goodmorning,” I greeted back
Umupo siya sa table at matapos kong ihanda ang umagahan ay umupo na rin ako.
“I was a jerk last night, sorry,” he said kaya napangiti ako.
Umiling ako.
“Okay lang. Atleast gwapong gago," sabi ko dahilan para mapatawa siya.
Kumain kami and I enjoyed every minute of it. And as usual, he still makes me laugh.
Umalis na rin siya kaagad pagkatapos niyang kumain, dahil may trabaho siya. At ako rin may trabaho.
PUMASOK AKO sa kompanya at sinalubong ako ni Ani.
“I heard Khy got into an accident,” he said worrying.
“Yah, but he’s fine now I think,” sagot ko.
Biglang nagring ang phone ko, nung tinignan ko kung sino nakita kong si tita Ramila ito.
“Hello po?”
[Khy’s awake.]
Napatigil ako. Oh God, what a relief!
[He wants to see you.]
“Po?”

I brought some fruits nung papunta akong hospital. At nagpaalam din ako kay Ran na bibisita ako, kasi baka magtampo na naman.
Nung binuksan ko ang pinto ng room niya, I saw him sitting on his bed.
Nagkatinginan kami. It’s awkward kaya nginitian ko nalang siya. After Maragsa, ngayon nalang kami ulit nagkita.
Nilagay ko sa bedside table ang dala ko at umupo sa kama.
“You okay?” tanong ko.
Tumango siya.
“Si Klara?” tanong ko.
“She went home, kakagaling niya lang dito.”
Tumango ako.
“I can’t do this anymore," biglang sabi niya.
“What do you mean?”
“Pretending I don’t love you, when I really do.”
Nagulat ako dahil sa sinabi niya.
“Khy..”
“I still love you Emily. My feelings never changed.”
My heart drummed.
“But you shouldn’t.”
“Why?”
“Don’t be a jerk by asking me why! You have Klara!” inis kong sabi.
“I’d rather be a jerk by telling the truth than pretend!”
Tumayo ako sa pagkakaupo.
“I think you hit your head seriously during the accident. You’re saying all sorts of nonsense," I said to show my disbelief kahit ang totoo paniwalang paniwala na ang puso ko.
“Nothing is wrong with my head Emi. And I’m perfectly aware of what I am saying to you.”
“Shut up.”
“Mahal kita,” he said almost begging.
And I was electrified once again because of him.
“Shut up," I said again.
“Mahal kita Emily.”
“Shut up!” napasigaw na ako.
F*ck you Khy!
“Shut the f*ck up and stop being an asshole!” sabi ko at umalis na sa kwartong yun.
Napahilamos ako sa mukha ko.
Why is he doing this to me?!
Ginugulo na naman niya ang feelings ko. Nililito na naman niya ako.
“Karen?”
Napatingin ako sa biglang nagsalita.
“K-klara..”
“Can we talk?”
--
Pumasok kami sa isang restaurant.
She’s looking at me intently across the table.
“You and Khy..” panimula niya.
“You knew?” tanong ko.
Tumango siya.
“All along..”
Nagulat ako sa narinig ko. So alam niya ang lahat tungkol sa amin simula palang?!
“That’s why I chose WWM, as our wedding maker.”
What?!
