Chapter 23
Ethos
"About you and Cyril before" 
Kitang kita ko ang pagkawala ng ngiti ni Avery nang sabihin ko 'yon. Gusto kong paluin ang bibig ko. I slipped again dammit! 
Nag-iwas siya ng tingin sa akin. 
"I'm sorry. Am I not suppose to know that?" kinakabahan kong tanong. 
Nilingon niya ako ulit at tipid na ngumiti. 
"Hindi. It's fine" sabi niya at mahinang tumawa. 
Ako naman ang nag-iwas ng tingin. Here I am again. Over thinking. Iniisip ko nanaman na baka kaya affected siya, dahil baka may feelings pa siya. 
I'm getting scared. What if-
No. I should ask her about that and clear it myself. She's the only one who could answer the questions in my head anyway. 
"Are you still...." 
Nilingon ko siya at sakto namang nilingon niya din ako. 
"....inlove with him?" 
She gave me an assuring smile and shook her head. I smiled back. 
Lumuwag ang pakiramdam ko. Avery is not the type of person that denies her feelings. So, if she said 'no', that really means 'no'.
"Ayoko lang maalala. Nagiguilty kasi ako sa ginawa ko" halos pabulong niyang sabi.
"You loved him. Right?" 
Nag-iwas siya ng tingin at tumango. Tama nga ako. I don't mind if he is her first love. It doesn't matter for me. All I want is to be her last love. 
"Then, why did you give him up?" 
Nilingon niya ako kaya inunahan ko na siya magsalita. 
"It's not that I still want you to be with him kaya ako nagtatanong. Of couse, I don't want that to happen. I hate that thought to be honest. But, I'm curious" 
Nakatingin lang siya sa akin at parang nagiisip pa ng isasagot. Tinignan ko rin naman siya.
"And I'm scared. What if—" 
"Iniisip mo na baka gawin ko rin 'yun sayo, no?" 
Siya ang nagtuloy ng sanang sasabihin ko. Tumango ako at hindi inalis ang tingin sa kanya. Ang lakas ng kabog ng puso ko. Hindi ko alam kung tama bang inungkat ko 'yon ngayon.
What if hindi ko na 'to maayos? What if may masama akong nasabi at hindi niya na ako kausapin ulit? What if isipin niyang nagmamadali ako? What if isipin niyang, I'm acting as if I am her boyfriend already? 
"I am also scared about that, Ethos" 
Lalo akong kinabahan dahil binanggit niya ang pangalan ko. She's serious. 
"But, I am trying so hard not to hurt you. I don't want you to get hurt, baby" 
I really felt relieved when she called me "Baby". Nakampante ako na hindi nga niya gagawin sa akin 'yon. I trust her. So much.
