CONFUSED

SOPHIE’S POV

Namalayan ko nalang na dumating na pala ako sa condo ko. Lutang na lutang kasi ako. Maybe because hindi ako nakatulog last night.

After dinner, we washed up. Pero unlike before, hindi na ako nakisabay sa kanya sa CR.

“Sophie, dito nalang ako matutulog sa couch. Sorry, di talaga ‘ko sanay na may katabi… Saka –

“Okay lang, go ahead.” I know he’s not comfortable with me.

Buong gabi akong hindi makatulog. Shift here, shift there… Then minsan napatingin ako sa kanya.

Alexis Torres, sino ka ba talaga?

---Flashback---

Antagal nyang bumalik kaya sumunod ako sa kanya. Kaso hindi ko maalala kung saan kami dumaan kanina. At masyado nang madiim sa side na ‘to kaya hindi ko namalayan kung saan ako napunta. Ilang minuto ang nakalipas, may taong humawak sa mga braso ko.

“Lex, ano ba? Bakit ang tagal mo?” I asked.

“It’s me.” Sabi nung lalaki.

“Ja-James??”

“Yup. Where’s your boyfriend?”

“Uhh… may nalaglag kasi ako kanina nung papunta kami dito so hinanap nya yun. I was following him, pero iba yata ‘tong nadaanan ko.”

“Marami ngang daanan dito. Nagkahiwalay rin kami ni Rhiann kanina eh.”

“Si Jess, bakit hindi mo sya kasama?”

“Nainis. Ayun, iniwan ako dito. Lumabas na yata sya.”

“Oh, I see. I’m going back.” Pinpointing the way to the shrine.

“Sasama na ‘ko sa’yo. Baka mapano ka pa. Maraming wild animals dito.”

Yeah, right. I’ve just encountered a snake kanina…

Bumalik ako kung saan ako nanggaling, and we’ve reached into the shrine. I expected Lex to be there. Pero ang hindi ko inexpect ay ang nakita ko – Lex and Rhiann kissing.

Hindi ko maipaliwanag kung ano ang feeling ko nung time na yun. Am I feeling…

Angry?

Betrayed?

Cheated?

Jealous?

No. Of course not! I can’t be jealous. He’s gay, and I know that.

Okay… I don’t have somewhat they called ‘gaydar’ and I actually had a gay boyfriend before. He was so macho and I didn’t even notice something gay in his actions. Mas lalaki pa sya kay Lex kumilos. Same with my brother Nick. Hindi ko malalaman that he was gay if he hadn’t told me. Pero iba yung kay Lex. I’m always telling him about his being gay pero hindi sya nag-ooppose. That would mean it’s true, right?
