"Jeanne! I really, really like your necklace. May I have it?"
"Huh? This? Pero... pero... bigay sa akin 'to ni Mommy bago siya..."
"But I want that! 'Di ba besties naman tayo?"
"O-o-okay... Fine."
Ayoko mang ibigay, but she's still my best friend and I can't afford to make her dislike me. Kahit na madalas mang labag sa loob ko, binibigay ko pa rin sa kaniya ang lahat ng hinihingi niya dahil ayokong masira ang friendship namin.
"Hey, babe. Busy? Would it be bothersome if I ask you to give me some, uh, five thousands?"
"What?!"
"Chill, babe! C'mon! And it's not like you're broke naman, baby. Kailangan ko lang talaga for projects, I swear. College is, like, so fucking expensive!"
"Fine. Here. And, uhm, I-I love you."
"Cool, thanks! Gotta go!"
I never received "I love you, too" and never even felt love. Never. Ang mahalaga ay nasa akin lamang siya.
"Anak, aalis kami bukas, okay?"
"Where to, Daddy?"
"Magce-celebrate dahil top na naman sa klase ang kapatid mo."
"O-oh..."
"Pakibantay na lang ng bahay, nak."
"Opo, Daddy."
Simula noong nagkaroon siya ng bagong asawa't anak, palagi na lang akong nakakalimutan. Napapabayaan. Naiiwan.
"Ang talino ng half-sister niya, tapos siya hindi."
"Nakakahiya nga. Imagine, 'yong simple quiz namin kanina, 1 lang ang score niya!"
Dahil pinakiusapan nila ako. Akin dapat ang spot na 'yon and I know it.
"Ugh! Inuuna kasi ang pakikipag-flirt kay Jason. Niloloko lang naman siya!"
Basta akin siya!
"Bobo!"
"Malandi!"
Tama na...
"Babe, I'll kiss you if you buy me a phone."
"Bes, ang ganda ng shoes mo. Very pretty! Akin na lang? Pleaseeee!"
Tumigil na kayo...
"Nak, mamamasyal kami mamaya. Pakibantay ng bahay."
"Ms. Jeanne Santiago! Ikaw na naman ang may pinakamababang score! Hindi ka ba talaga nag-aaral?!"
Nasasaktan na ako.
Sa isang iglap, everything turned completely off and silent.
Dahan-dahan kong inalis ang mga kamay ko mula sa pagkakatakip sa magkabila kong tainga.
Tumigil din ang pag-agos ng mga luha sa dalawang mata ko.
Tila...
Nawalan na lamang ako ng emosyon.
Hindi ko na kaya.
Panahon na para magbago.
Hindi na ulit ako magpapaapi.
Hindi na ulit ako magpapanggap na maayos lang ang lahat para sa akin.
Dahil pagod na ako.
