"You're already 22, Esperionne, you're old enough."
Nabitawan ko ang kutsilyo na ipinanghihiwa ko ngayon sa pancake.
"Dad! I don't like hi—" he cutted me off.
"You don't have a say to this. He's expecting a date tomorrow so you should prepare." After that, he wiped the side of his lips and stood up. "I gotta go." He went to me and kissed my cheek and also bid his goodbye to my mother.
He left me hanging there. I shifted my gaze to my mom, trying to ask help.
Pero bago pa ako magsalita naunahan niya na ako.
Before she left the table, she left me a message.
"It's for your own good, my dearest."
I can't forget what she said. 'It's for my own good.' Hindi ko maintindihan! Paano ako magiging maayos kung idi-date ko ang taong hindi ko naman gusto!
Milliano is a good guy, okay? But, he's just my friend. He admitted that he likes me but I denied his feelings. I don't know but all I can offer to him is just pure friendship and nothing more.
He said that he respects my decision, but what is this date all about?! I should ask him.
