Chapter 51:

Hakuna Miran's Point of View.

"Like what?" Kwestyon ko, hindi ko gusto na nahahalata niyang iniiwasan ko siya so I'm trying my best to make it not obvious.

"Have a debate with me, I'm giving you the chance to choose between love and money." Naupo kami sa kung saan natatanaw namin ang karagatang kaharap ng rest house.

"You know how to debate right?" Tumango ako.

"Choose."

"I'll give you the chance to make me lose if you'll choose love." Ngumuso ako sa sinabi niya.

"Then I'll choose love over money." Ngumisi siya at tumango.

"Then start, or should I?" Kwestyon niya, "Simulan ko na syempre." Sagot ko at tsaka ako sumimsim habang siya ay nakatitig sa mata ko mismo.

"I'll start with the basic, no rules naman. How can you be happy without love?" Sinimulan ko sa tanong dahilan para yanigin ang interes niya.

"Money can also buy happiness, buy what you want, buy food. What can you afford in love?" Napangisi ako.

"With pure love, you'll know how to be content in life. There is this quote saying that if you are contented you'll be happy." Pinanlakihan ko siya ng mata matapos sabihin 'yon.

"Love can make you go crazy." Sa sinabi niya ay naitikom ko ang bibig.

"Money can make you do bad things." Tumaas ang kilay niya.

"Love can make you starve in hunger because you can't buy food with love." Naningkit ang mata ko sa rason niya.

"Money can get you in trouble." I stated, confidently.

"Love gets me in trouble, love is selfish." Tumaas ang kilay ko sa winika niya.

"Money will make you corrupt."

"Money will also make you have friends who only love your money." Gitil ko.

"Money is evil." Singhal ko.

"Love can't save you from illness, you'll need money on an everyday basis of your life. Money is essential because you can't have your own land because of love. You can't make other doctors heal you because of love. They don't pity these days, you'll end up dead because of sacrificing because of love." Sa haba ng sinabi niya ay inis kong ibinaba ang kupita ng iniinuman.

"Love can cause you death—"

"Then you don't love me? Because you just need money?" Sa sinabi ko ay hindi makapaniwala niya akong tinignan.

Bahagyang umawang ang labi niya at hindi makapaniwalang nangisi sa sinabi ko, bigla naman akong nahiya. "Well, if you'll love me. I'll give up all my money and die." My jaw fell open.

"Laze." Seryosong sambit ko sa pangalan niya.

"Seriously." Tumitig siya sa mata ko at kumportable niyang isinandal ang likod sa sandalan tsaka niya kinuha ang kupita at sumimsim doon, napatitig ako sa labi niya ng makita ko na may alak pa ang labi niya.

He's the one who'll make me lose.

Ngumisi na lang ako upang maiba ang usapan, "Joke lang."

Seryoso siyang tumitig sa akin, "I am serious."

Umawang ang labi ko sa sinabi niya kaya naman napairap ako, "I don't like you, but I can love you effortlessly." Naitikom ko muli ang bibig sa sinabi niya, shit. Lakas makapanindig balahibo ng lalake na 'to.
