Y/N's POV

Jill looked at Tricia's name na isinulat ko sa buhangin. Tumitig siya ron nang ilang segundo bago ibinalik sa akin ang tingin.

"Wrong timing," she said and let out an awkward laugh. "I'll go now,"

I couldn't talk.

Nagsimula siyang mag lakad papalayo. Napapikit ako at bago pa siya makalayo nang tuluyan ay nagsalita ako.

"Jill," I called her.

Lumingon siya at ngumiti. "Hmm?"

She's trying her best not to cry. I can see it sa mga mata niya.

"Why?" My voice cracked. "Bakit.. bakit ang hilig mong bumalik at hayaan akong panoorin kang umalis ulit?"

Lumapit siya sa akin. She tried holding my hand pero inilayo ko 'yon. Napayuko siya.

"I'm sorry, bubby.."

There, I lost it. Hinayaan kong bumagsak ang mga luhang kanina pang nagbabadyang pumatak habang nakatitig sa kawalan.

I can't look at her.

"Alam mo ba.." I tried to calm myself. "Alam mo ba kung paano akong nasira nung mga panahon na.. iniwan ako nung taong nangako na hindi aalis?"

"Bubby.."

"Bakit ka umalis?" I said at napahawak sa lamesa. Nakakapanghina.

I tried to smile while still crying.

"Bakit hindi mo ako pinili, Jill?"

"I'm in love with you," I confessed out of nowhere.

Naglalakad lang kami ni Jill pabalik sa condo and I suddenly felt the urge to tell her those words na matagal ko nang tinatago.

Late night walks with her is the best.

"What? What did you say?" Jill asked, hindi niya yata narinig dahil nauuna siyang mag lakad.

"I said.." lumapit ako sa kaniya at hinawakan ang kamay niya. "I love you, Jill,"

Natawa siya. "I know right! Hindi mo naman ako matitiis for ilang years kung hindi mo ako mahal!" aniya at kinurot ako. "And you know that I love you too!"

"No, Jill.."

"What no?" She asked, confused by my answer.

I gulped and took a deep breath before talking.

"I love you, not.. just as my bestfriend," I said. "I love you more than that, Jill."

"Bubby.."

I smiled. Rejected, I guess?

"It's okay," I assured her. "You're not obligated to love me the same wa-"

Her lips crashed into mine.

"I do, too." She said at pinagdikit ang noo namin habang nakatingin sa mga mata ko.
