Elevators. Airplanes. Palaman ng Sandwich. Yung feeling na papunta ka pa lang at excited ka pa lang sa pupuntahan mo. Yung feeling na palapit pa lang yung birthday mo. Yung feeling na palapit pa ang isa pang espesyal na araw. Yung feeling na ilang oras na lang ay pasko na. Yung feeling na tatlong araw na lang simula na ulit ng pasukan. Yung feeling na nasa gitna ka pa lang at di ka pa nakakarating. Yung feeling na malapit na pero hindi pa. Yun ang laging gusto ko. Yung nasa gitna pa lang. Yung nasa gitna ka ng dalawang bagay. Gitna ng isang building. Gitna ng langit at lupa. Gitna ng dalawang matatabang tinapay. Gitna ng byahe papuntang disneyland. Mas gusto ko yung feeling tuwing nagbabyahe kesa doon sa nakarating ka na. Mas gusto ko yung feeling na may inaantay ka kesa doon sa nandyan na. I always like the things in between. "You only like things in between, Coreen. You only like the chase... You only want me chasing after you. You don't want to decide... Pero pakiusap naman, magdesisyon ka na, kasi tao rin naman ako, nasasaktan. And you? I don't think nararamdaman mo yung sakit na nararamdaman ko... You are just too heartless."

Umupo si Greg sa swivel chair nito at pinagmasdan siya. "Okay. Bibilhin ko ang Oregon Building under your name pag hindi mo sasabihin sa media ang nangyari kanina." "Okay." Nakangiting sagot niya. "And we will have divorce once nasayo na talaga ang Oregon Building. Yan lang naman talaga ang dahilan kung bakit mo ako bina-black mail diba?" "Exactly. After 6 months ay magpapafile tayo ng divorse." Nahulaan kaagad nito ang plano niya. Suma cum Laude nga diba? "With your attitude-" "And your attitude ay tiyak na matatanggap na nila na pinilit nating makilala at mapakisamahan ang isa't isa. Ngunit hindi lang talaga tayo nagkakasundo." Ngumiti ulit siya. "Right. We will have our freedom after six months. But..." "But what?" Nakakunot-noong tanong niya. "I'll agree with all of this pero syempre gusto kong may mapakinabangan din out of this marriage." Ngumiti ito. Gosh. "And ano naman iyon?" "Great hot sex." Walang ka gatol-gatol na sagot nito. Wait, whut? (FILIPINO STORY)
