"So ano na nga? Okay na kayo?" Aria asked.

"Oo nga, ang kulit mo." Sagot ko naman.

"So, yun lang yun? Wala man lang closure?" Tanong niyang muli.

"Closure? Anong closure? Okay na kami as in friends na ulit kami." Sagot ko. Nakakairita na si Aria. Ayaw niya kasi na maging "okay" ulit kami ni DJ. Masyado daw akong nagpapakatanga sa kanya.

"Closure! Yung conversation na wala na, tapos na. Yun!" Sabi niya sabay turo sa movie poster ng Starting Over Again.

"Aria! Hindi naman naging kami para may ganong kadramaan. Best friends, Aria. That's what we are." Sagot ko.

"Ay nako, Kath. Basta, wag na wag mong sasabihing hindi kita binalaan ha." Sabi ni Aria.

"Aria, sanay na ako. Kaya ko ito no, ako pa?" I stated.

"Weh? Kaya mo? Eh kailan lang nung umiiyak-iyak ka." Miles joked.

"You know what? I don't quite understand this shit." Aria cursed.

"Saang parte naman ang hindi mo maintindihan?" Tanong ni Miles.

"If DJ is really god damned in love with Julia, how come ganyan siya sa iyo, Kath? He's giving you mixed signals! Open your eyes!" Aria scolded.

"He's not giving me mixed signals, for god's sake!" I argued.

"Anong hindi? Don't even try to lie, Kath." Aria snorted.

"Hindi naman talaga ah." I calmly stated.

Hindi ba talaga?

"Don't tell me na at the back of your mind, hindi mo iniisip na what if DJ likes you as someone to be loved. Kasi alam kong deep inside, umaasa ka. Wag na wag mo akong subukang pagsinungalingan, Kath." Aria scolded once more. Ugh, the perks of having a nagger friend.

"Hay, nako. I thought we're having the best girls day ever today? Why are we talking about boys ba? Can we just enjoy this day?" Singit naman ni Miles.

"Miles is right, Aria. Tumigil ka na kasi." Sabi ko naman.

"Oh well, doon na nga tayo sa CLN. I need new shoes."

--

"Saan ba tayo kakain?" Tanong ni Aria.

"Kahit saan." Sagot ni Miles.

"I hope there's a 'kahit saan' restaurant here." Aria remarked sarcastically.

"Seryoso, gutom na ako. And if you ask me, gusto ko sa KFC. Too bad, maraming tao and I'm sure there isn't a table available." Sagot ko naman.

"Sa Shakeys na nga lang." sabi ni Aria.

"Pizzahut." Miles randomly stated.

"Shakeys!" Aria argued.

"Diba tinatanong mo ako kanina? Pizzahut nga." Sabi naman ni Miles.

"Shakeys na lang. Final na." Aria stated.

"Hay nako, Yellow Cab na lang. Sige na, move along. Yellow Cab na lang para walang away." Sabi ko.
