"Where have you been?" tanong ni mama. Geez she looks serious. Patay.
"Gumala lang ako ma. Kasama ng tropa ko." sagot ko, totoo naman ah?
"Tropa? Weh." sabi ni Ny. Tiningnan ko siya ng masama. Kailangan talaga manggatong?
"Bakit? Totoo naman ah?"
"That's not what I heard." Day placed her phone infront of me. She showed me the article about Heath and me.
Patay... So alam rin ni mama? GOD!
"That's not true!" Giit ko.
"Kung hindi, bakit kayo magka-holding hands?" tanong ni mama.
"H-he was just guiding me the way out. Siksikan oh, malamang, baka kasi masiksik pako." dahilan ko nalang kahit di naman talaga yun ang totoong nangyari.
"So you're with Heath the whole day mula kagabi?" tanong ni Day.
Tumango nalang ako. Di ko rin naman kasi alam ang idadahilan ko kasi lahat naman ng sinasabi nila, tama.
Tumayo si mama at lumapit sakin. "Fix this. Pag ito umabot sa lolo mo, wala nakong maitutulong sayo." she said at umakyat na.
Tiningnan ko sina Day, Ny, at Kit. "How am I supposed to fix this? Ipapadelete lahat ng posts? As if naman mangyayari yon."
"I told you Hymn, big deal to. Now look, tama ako diba? Headline na kayo ng University News." sabi ni Day habang umiiling.
"Ganito kasi yan." Sasabihin ko na sakanila yung napag-usapan namin ni Heath. "We stopped the game."
"Huh?"
"Tinapos na namin. Wala nang ligawan. Wala na. We decided to be friends. We get along pretty well, and napatunayan yon nung nagpunta kami kanina sa Intramuros-"
"Nag Intramuros date kayo? OMG OMG KILIIIIG!" Mukha nanamang bulateng binudburan ng asin si Ny.
"Hindi date ang tawag don. Gumala kami para pakalmahin ang sarili namin dahil nga don sa article na yon."
"Then?" Day was patiently listening.
"Then ayon, we talked about each other. He took landscape photos. We were exchanging jokes and we had a good time. Being with him isn't that bad. It's just he made a bad first impression kaya nagalit ako sakanya noon. But when we talked about dad and he gave me good advices that made me feel better, narealize kong he's not an asshole, well, he maybe sometimes, but he has a kind heart."
"Bro, you sound whipped." sabi ni Ny habang tinatapik ang likod ko.
"Whipped ka diyan? Ano ako, cream?"
"Buti nalang talaga gwapo ka no? Ang pangit ng sense of humor mo." bawi niya.
"So what now? Hahayaan mo nalang yung article sa internet forever?" tanong ni Day. Actually, hindi ko talaga alam ang gagawin ko regarding this matter.
Iniisip ko, what's the use? Tropa na kami ni Heath. But we still need to deny it to avoid misunderstandings right? But how?
"Kakausapin ko nalang yung mga nasa journalism at broadcasting club. I'll ask them to delete it. If hindi parin mareresolve ang issue, I'll just ask them to help you and Heath make a public statement." suhestiyon ni Kit.
Tumango naman ako. "Sige sige, thanks tol."
"No probs."
