Distance

Never make a permanent decisions
Based on temporary feeling. 'cause you might regret it in a few hours when something knock up your senses!

Feelings is hard to control, it sometimes controlled you instead. perhaps... Nothing is sure in this lifetime, trust must be earned little by little... And decisions must be thoroughly thought, before changes occurred...

Parang bulang naglaho ang hilo ko. Wala sa sarili kong tinahak ang dereksyon na tinungo ng inakala kong si Randolph, kahit malabong  mahabol ko siya, masyadong malaki ang mga hakbang niya. Binilisan ko ang lakad, the curiosity I'm feeling is to the highest level. Why would Randolph entered an lady's restroom? Kung siya man talaga 'yun! I really think it's him anyway, I am tipsy but I can still remember the color of his bottom down shirt.

Hindi paman ako tuluyang nakaliko papasok sa lady's room ay naririnig ko na ang sigawan sa loob. Lumiit at humina ang mga hakbang ko, hanggang sa tumigil ako sa tapat ng pader papasok sa loob.

"You're pathetic! Ilang ulit kanang niloko uulit ka parin?" Marahas na sigaw ng boses ng babae.

I furrowed... kumalabog ang dibdib ko. What is happening? Medyo pamilyar ang boses ng babae, if Randolph is there? It must be...

"Shut up Erica!" Marahas na tugon naman ng boses ng lalaki.

Now my curiosity overflows...
It's Randolph. Shit! It's Erica and Randolph. My eyes narrowed. They're fighting inside the lady's restroom, napakurap ako. Ang kuryusidad kung naguumapaw kanina ay bahagyang nahinto.

Eavesdropping is a crime Vivienne! It's a personal problem between the two of them. My system is battling, should I eavesdroppe? Damn! It doesn't sounds right. I guess... I must be outta here! I gasped, Hindi paman ako nakaikot pabalik sa pinanggalingan isang pamilyar na boses ulit ang nagsalita.

"Hindi niya ako niloloko. Alam ko ang lahat Erica."

I paused, totally awake now! Is it Jessica?

Para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig. Parang mas lalo akong nahilo. What is happening? There are three person inside, and I can really recognize thier voices... It is over between Jessica and Randolph a long time ago... and now... why are they fighting? Para akong haliging pinako sa kinatatayuan.

"Huh!  So... You're fooling me all this time?" Erica's voice cracked even when she's shouting.

There's a long pause... Later on, Erica's sobs filled the room.

Nasapo ko ang bibig. Is Jessica still seeing Randolph all this time? reasons why she's out most of the time? Nag-uunahan ang mga tanong at mga sagot sa utak ko, I knew something is odd about Jessica's disappearance most of the time, but t I thought it's someone else!

"Erica, walang nangloloko nino! You Know what are we! It was Jessica from the very start, and you Knew that." Malumanay at nagpapaunawang paliwanag ni Randolph.

"Oo Alam ko Yan! You don't have to slap it in my face!"  I shiver hearing Erica's sobs continuesly. " We started it the wrong way, pero sa kalagitnaan palang Sinabi ko na sayo 'diba? Minahal kita ng totoo. Oo naggagamitan lang tayo sa simula. YOU, trying to make Jessica jealous all the damn time! At ako naman... Tryin' to please Edward so bad... That I even go to the lowest of the low!"

Napasinghap ako. What does it mean?

"I didn't correct you! And that's my fault alone!" Mariing sigaw ni Randolph.

"My god Randolph! You're such a jerk! you're much worser than Edward! Pinaasa mo ako! If you didn't gave me reasons to hoped for you, you think I'll defend you from liezel? You should've slapped it in my face the moment you reconcile with her! and let that hope die!"
