Hers
Inis ko siyang binalingan at hindi na lang pinansin.
"What's wrong?" he asked and looked at my vehicle.
A ghost smile rosed from his lips when he saw that I run out of gas.
"I can just ride a cab." I uttered and fixed my helmet.
Hindi naman kasi ako pwedeng magpasundo kay Hiro dahil may trabaho siya. Hindi lang yun, diba mainit ang dugo niya kay Zach?
Geez, I can't imagine his reaction if he finds out that Zach is my son's father. Hindi ko naman kasi sinabi.
"You know what? I can drop you off." he offered.
What?
"No...it's okay." I uttered and declined his offer.
It's not that I don't want to but...I can't be in a closed space with him. It will just trigger memories.
Halos napatingin kaming dalawa sa gate ng marinig ang tunog ng doorbell.
Zach groaned before deciding to open his gate..
Halos manuyo ang lalamunan ko nang makita ang isang babaeng nakasuot ng bestidang berde.
Dione looked so shock seeing me and so am I.
Oh! I remember, she's very welcome here right?
"T-tami!" pilit niyang ngiti sa pagkalapit sa akin. She tried to look so happy seeing me but I know deep down that she isn't. They had a thing right?
I smiled. "Thamina." I corrected her. Calling me Tami is just too much. After everything she put me through? She has the nerve to call me by my nickname?
Dumaan ang hiya sa mata niya pero kalaunan ay galit ang pumalit.
"What are you doing here?" she asked as if I'm forbidden to be here.
Tahimik lang naman si Zach na nasa tabi niya pero ang mata ay nakatuon sa akin. Para bang pinagmamasdan niya nang mabuti ang reaksyon ko.
"You can ask Engr. Zacharius. I believe I don't have to explain it to you." I answered, smiling.
Hindi ako masungit...pero ngayon hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling ang inis ko sa kaibigan.
The past years? I learned how to value myself more. Being good and always available to others will teach them to take advantage of you.
Like what Dione did. Kahit anong buti pa ang mga taong nasa paligid ko, hindi ko na magawang magtiwala nang husto. Sara is the only friend I can count on and also of course my family.
Malaki ang idinulot ng ginawa ni Dione sa akin noon. Kaya kahit madaming sumusubok na makipagkaibigan sa akin na mga co-teachers ko, hindi ko sila lubusang mapagkatiwalaan.
Imbes na maawa ay mas lalo lang akong nainis nang maluha luha niyang binalingan si Zach. She's playing victim huh?
"Why...are you treating me this cold? Parang....hindi tayo naging magkaibigan ah." sambit niya at maluha luhang tumingin ulit sa akin.
I want to laugh at her remark. Parang hindi kami naging magkaibigan?
Really?
"Dione.." I called her name and scoffed.
"Do you know what's the real meaning of friendship?" I asked and laughed a bit.
"Look back....and see if you treated me like one before." I said and turned my back.
