And that's final." Napailing ang kaibigan at napatulala mukhang nahulog ito sa malalim na pag-iisip. Napabuntong hininga siya at nilapitan ito. Kusang yumakap ang braso niya sa bewang ng dalaga. At normal iyon sa kanilang dalawa. "Coll, naman. Alam kong nabigla ka pero nakapagdesisyon na talaga ako." Napabunga ng hangin ang kaibigan. "Tangina mo naman kasi. May tite ka na nga ipapalit mo pa sa pepe. Ang gwapo-gwapo mo para maging babae." Reklamo nito. Hinigpitan niya ang yakap dito. "Alam kong wala na akong magawa para baguhin ang desisyon mo." Sabi nito ng mapagtantong hindi na talaga magbabago ang isip niya. "Thank you, Coll." "Pero may isang kahilingan ako." Anito sa seryosong boses. "What is it?" Agad na tanong niya rito. Nabuhayan rin ang loob niya. "Patikim muna ng bur mo."
