MODERNONG MAGDALENA

//CHAPTER 5//

"Tyronne? Do you know her?" Tanong nung Grace kay Ron. I just smiled at the girl.

"Well, uhm.. she's my--"

"Friend. I'm his friend." Pinutol ko ang sasabihin ni Ron. I smiled at both of them at tinitigan naman ako ng Ron.

"Really? Kaibigan ka ni Tyronne? No wonder, Ron ang tawag mo sa kanya. Haha. Ah, by the way, I'm Grace. Tyronne's girlfriend. Nice to meet you." She offered her hand and she smiled at me.

I accepted her hand and smiled at her too, though it's a fake smile. Bleh. "I'm Mags. Nice to meet you, too."

"Mags... can we talk?"

I smiled at him at umiling, "Nope. I'm hungry."

"Great! Let's all eat together, then!" Sabat naman ni Grace. Great. Makakalibre ako ng lunch. Hehe.

Pumasok kami sa restaurant sa may tapat lang ng kinatatayuan namin. Umorder si Ron ng kakainin namin, at habang naghihintay kami ng pagkain, Grace went to the comfort room.

Kaya, nag-umpisa ng magsalita si Ron sa harap ko.

"Mags... are you really my friend?"

Napatingin ako sa kanya. Seryoso ang mukha niya. "Honestly, I don't know. What kind of relationship do we have?"

I've always considered him as my boyfriend. But, we didn't even have any real conversations as a couple. I don't remember us talk as couples does. We don't even converse as friends.

It feels like... our relationship is just for formality.
