"Michelle!" suway ko sa kaibigan dahil sa malutong na pagsampal nito kay Zaffron. Nanlalaki ang mga mata kong pumagitna sa kanila nang makitang susugod pa si Michelle kay Zaffron.
"Sabi ko ko, 'wag mo paiyakin e, bakit mugto ang mata nito?!"
Hinawakan ko ang dalawang braso ni Michelle para mapigilan siyang makalapit kay Zaffron. "Teka nga, tumigil ka muna, chell." Hinatak ko siya nang halos isang metro ang layo kay Zaffron.
Tumigil ito sa pagsulong bago humarap sa akin nang may nakamamatay na tingin. I swallowed hard and felt my knees buckled. If only glare can kill, I'm probably lying on the ground now.
"Anong ginawa nito sa'yo ha?" Para akong napipi dahil sa galit na boses niya. "Sagot!" sigaw pa niya at pinanlakihan ako ng mata na nagpanguso sa akin.
"Wala lang naman 'yon."
"It's not," dinig kong sabat ni Zaffron kaya pinanlakihan ko siya ng mata para manahimik. Para namang hindi niya naintindihan ang gusto ko mangyari kaya nagsalita pa siya. "For me it's not meaningless."
I blushed, remembering what happened earlier. Pero nang umaktong lalapit na naman ito kay Zaffron ay nakabawi agad ako. Pinigilan ko siya uli sa pamamagitan ng paghigit sa kaniya.
Alam ko na kayang-kayang tanggalin at kumawala ni Michelle sa hawak ko pero hindi niya ginagawa. Maybe if we were in a different circumstances, I would smile. But not this. Not now. Not when two person who's dear to me was on the different side.
"Zaff, uwi ka na, please?" sabi ko rito habang nakaharang sa gitna nila ni Michelle. Si Michelle naman ay nakatitig ng masama sa kaniya.
"Subukan mo," Michelle threatened him. Bumaling ito sa akin ulit. "Bakit maga 'yang mata mo ha?" she scolded me like a mother. I can't help it but smile by her actions even though I'm afraid of her tone. I'm just so lucky I found a bestfriend and a sister in her.
"Why are you smiling?" kunot noong tanong niya. Unti-unting nawawala na ang bakas ng galit sa mukha. "Creepy baby girl. Tapos mugto pa 'yang mata mo. Not a good combination."
I pouted. "'Wag na kasi kayo mag-away."
Sumilip ito sandali kay Zaffron bago inirapan. She breathed out audibly. "Okay, pero ano bang nagyari sa'yo?"
Hindi ako makasagot. Hindi ko alam kung paano sasabihin sa kaniya na...
I blushed.
"bakit ka namumul—"
"I kissed her," Zaffron cut her off making me wanted to hide my face using my palms.
"Zaffron!"
"You did what?!"
"I kissed her." Our eyes met.
And the way he looked at me reassured me that he got this. He knew what he's doing. That I don't need to stress myself kasi siya na ang bahala magpaliwanag kay Michelle. Pero hindi ko pa rin maiwasang mag-alala.
Michelle angrily marched to him and I tried to block her. But unlike earlier, she used her force to get rid of me. She came in front of Zaffron and I heard her palm making a sound as she slapped the other cheek of Zaffron.
I instantly ran between them.
"Michelle, stop i-it!" my voice broke.
I pushed Zaffron by his shoulders away from Michelle. Nagpaubaya naman ito at naglakad ng pabaliktad dahil tinutulak ko siya patalikod. Nang huminto kami ay hinawakan ko ang baba niya para makitang mabuti ang kaniyang pisngi. I bit my lower I as I saw how read his cheeks were. Madilim na pero dahil sa ilaw sa labas ng bahay nila Michelle at sa mga poste ay naaaninag ko pa rin ito.
