Hyun Jeong

Mia:

Hindi ko talaga maintindihan. Wala naman akong sinabing mali. Binati ko lang siya pabalik.

You said l have to be polite and respectful to him so that's what l did but he doesn't seem happy.

This is so confusing.

Hyun Jeong:

Ano ba kasing sinabi mo?

Mia:

I said "Hello po sir Florez",  iyon lang.

Hyun Jeong:

Baka nagulat siya. You used to call him Zahyun and now sir Florez.

'Yung kinasanayan niya bigla na lang nagbago.

Mia:

Ikaw na rin ang nagsabi, teacher ko na siya ngayon. Tama ka. I should stop my immaturity and just focus on my studies and work.

He told me to call him kuya before but those times it didn't felt right for me kasi nga gusto ko siya pero ngayon narealized ko na may mali rin ako.

Kakalimutan ko na lahat ng nangyari dati. Teacher ko na siya ngayon at estudyante niya na ako. Ganoon na lang namin kikilalanin ang isa't isa.

Hyun Jeong:

Destiny's really unfair. Isn't it?

Minsan ba tinanong mo na rin ang sarili mo kung bakit hindi para sa'yo 'yung taong mahal mo?

Kasi ako araw-araw kong tinatanong ang sarili ko kung bakit malayo ang agwat ng edad namin.

Mia:

Iyan ba 'yung sinabi mo noon na special someone na mas bata sa'yo ng 7 years?

Hyun Jeong:

Yeah. Matagal ko na siyang mahal.

It's been 10 years and counting.

Mia:

Parehas lang tayo, mas matanda siya sa akin ng pitong taon. Ang pinagkaiba lang natin ay ikaw minahal mo 'yung tao kahit mas bata sa'yo, pero siya ni katiting na pagmamahal hindi ko naramdaman sa kaniya.

That's why l moved on. Ano pa bang aasahan ko 'e siya na mismo nagsabi na hindi siya pumapatol sa mas bata sa kaniya.

Huwag na ipilit ang ayaw.

Hyun Jeong:

I know he has his reasons.

Mia:

I have mine too.

Hyun Jeong:

Well, some men express their feelings through actions because they don't have sweet tongues.

Iyong ibang lalaki kasi puro lang salita, wala namang gawa.

Mia:

Words without actions are meaningless, but actions without words are confusing.

So why not do both?

Hyun Jeong:

There are barriers, babe.

Mia:

Like what?

Hyun Jeong:

Judgemental people.

Ano sa tingin mo ang iisipin ng iba kapag 'yung guro nagmahal sa estudyante niya?

Many find it gross.

To protect one from judgements, the other one should keep a distance.

Mia:

I'm on my legal age now.

And our age gap is just 7 years.

Hyun Jeong:

But you're still his student.

You still look young.

You're still a dreamer.

Mia:

Sometimes your words hit a spot in me :(

Para kang 30 years old na pinapangaralan ako.

Hyun Jeong:

I'm older than you.

Mia:

Alam ko

Magkaedad kayo ni Zahyun.

Hyun Jeong:

Do you really hate him?

I mean minsan ba inalam mo rin ang pagkatao niya?

Mia:

For what? After all l'm just part of his games.

Pinaglalaruan lang ako ng lalaking iyon.

Matagal nang natapos ang pagkakaibigan naming dalawa.

Hyung Jeong:

Sana dumating ang panahon na magkaayos ulit kayo. Mahirap magtanim ng sama ng loob. I hope someday you'll find answers to your questions.

I'm wishing you all the happiness in this world, Mia.

Mia:

Ganoon din ako sa'yo, Hyunje.

Don't worry hindi ka mahuhuli sa bawat chika ng buhay ko. Bestfriends kaya tayo.

Hyung Jeong:

I'm sorry

Mia:

Hmm? para saan?

Hyung Jeong:

Nothing.

Mia:

Ewan ko sa'yo, minsan ang weirdo mo. Buti na lang mahal kita.

Hyun Jeong:

Mahal din kita.

Mahal na mahal

Mia:

Ayieee sige na matutulog pa'ko. Malay mo madagdagan ng 1cm ang height ko.

Hyun Jeong:

Ang pinanganak na pandak mahirap nang tumangkad.

Mia:

Hoy ang sama mo Hyunje!

Walang personalan

Hyung Jeong:

AHAHHAHA cute mo.

Mia:

I know right, charot.

Thank you babe.

I turned off my cellphone and put it above my study table. I lay on the bed with a smile on my face. Hyunje is really something, she speaks maturely unlike me who still has immature side. She's like a big sister to me, she taught me lot of things to value and remember. But sometimes she's weird and speak like a man.

Kung hindi lang siya babae, iisipin kong lalaki siya.
