Hindi yata iyon nagustuhan ni Yngrid dahil biglang naging galit ang expressiyon niya at tinalikuran ako para harapin si Cian na tumatawa.
"Because she's now in love with the man I love!" she suddenly burst out.
I knew it! But how? Paanong minahal niya si Ryan nang hindi namin alam?
Napatigil sa pagtawa si Cian at sabay na naglaglagan ang panga nila, rinig ko ang tikhim ni Kristine sa tabi.
Inaasahan ko na ang bagay na to pero nagulat pa rin ako nang kumpirmahin niya iyon.
What now? How can I choose my own happiness when there's a two important person who will get hurt?
Parang doble ang sakit nun sa akin. Mas pinahirapan ako. Mas masakit. At mas malalim na sugat.
"What? you are in love with Conrad too?" si Nikhaule na hindi nakuha ang nangyayari.
"No! I am in love with Ryan. And she'd falling for him,too!" napanganga si Nikhaule sa narinig.
Tumingin siya sa akin.
"W-What?"
"I love Ryan first! I was the first one to know him! I was the first one to notice him! Ako ang nauna!" she again yelled.
Hindi pa rin kami nagsasalita. Pinapakinggan ko lang ang bawat salitang binibitawan niya.
"You what? Love him first? Kailan pa? Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa amin? Naglihim ka rin?" Si Cian. Hindi nakasagot si Yngrid.
It is like a curse to me. A curse to be never happy because if I will, I'll hurt those two.
"It doesn't matter anymore! she's taking him away from me! You told us you'll never fall for Ryan, Curns! You should have kept your word. You should have promised!" she yelled. Now her tears rolled down her cheeks.
Now I think, my decision is the best thing to do. To choose Conrad and forget about my own happiness. It will lessen the impact. Ako lang ang magdudusa.
It is the right thing to do, but why does it feel so wrong?
"I won't take him away from you, Yngrid." I said.
"Curns!" si Leesha na ngayon ay parang hindi natuwa sa sinabi ko.
"Is this true, Curns?" si Mei. "The last time I checked, you're in love with your best friend?" she added.
"You cried for Conrad. We saw how you fell for your bestfriend. We saw how you struggle to fix your broken heart! kaya anong sinasabi ni Yngrid na mahal mo si Ryan?" Kristine said.
"Can you please explain, Curns. I don't understand na kasi e. What's happening ba?" si Nikhaule.
I bit my lips. "Yes, it's true. I feel something for Ryan, pero hindi yun pagmamahal."I lied. I bit my lips harder.
"This is just attraction," I hoped for that too, but I know, this is deeper than attraction.
"Kaya mali ka, hindi ko siya kukunin sayo." I lied again.
I want to tell them that I love Ryan more than I love Conrad. What I feel for Ryan was beyond what I felt for Conrad. Malayo. Malayong malayo.
"Kaya bakit mo sinasabing sumasalungat ang puso mo kung ganoon?" Cian curiously looked at me.
I know Leesha won't believe this. She knows me.
"Because I am attracted... with other guy, at...at alam kong...m-mali 'yon... I need to s-stop it." gustong gusto ko nang sabihin, na mahal na mahal ko siya. Na hindi lang naman talaga atraksiyon lang itong nararamdaman ko.
