I never talked about the rumor at first. I was scared that I would insult him if I ask.
And he never opened up about it.
Hindi siya yung tipo ng tao na nakilala ko na nagtatago ng sikreto. And I was never the one to ask about him because I was waiting for him to open up.
But he never did.
Hanggang sa marami na 'kong naririnig na tsismis.
"Ri, nakita namin si Atticus na may kasama sa mall. Lalaki, same sa kasama niya doon sa likod ng school,"
"Ri, si Atticus nakita namin sa library ng college of law, may kasamang lalaki. May friend siya doon?"
"Ri, akala ko ikaw yung hinihintay niya kanina sa canteen. Pero umalis din agad nung may dumating na lalaki. Sabay sila."
Until I couldn't take it anymore.
I wanted to ask him so bad. Pero napapangunahan ako palagi ng takot.
Pano kung totoo? Pano kung iwan niya 'ko? But what if I'm overthinking it all and they're just friends?
Ang daming tanong sa isip ko pero wala akong lakas para tanungin siya. My words would always be just in my head. My questions would be help up.
Ako pa naman, 'di ba?
