“Hindi na ako aabot ee,” Japo shrugged. “Ang alam ko, ngayon na siya ire-release. Malamang nasa bahay na yun.”

Borge then sighed, yung mga bumabagabag sakanya kanina was now coming back to her. “Ahhh.” Her shoulders slumped down. “Ganun ba?” Yeah, it surely has something to do with Max. Huminga ng malalim ang dalaga and finally decided to ask for Japo’s opinion. “Japo…” She said, sounding quite hesitant. “Kunwari sa barkadahan natin… Let’s say…” She pretended to think of a name. “…si Max, he told you something important, something big, like a secret… pero itong sekretong ito, alam mong kailangan malaman ng isa mo pang kaibigan… uh—example – si Ellie? Pero Max made you swear not to tell her.” She was now uncomfortably fumbling with her fingers. “What will you do?”

Japo stared blankly at Borge, absorbing everything she just had said. “Hmmm…” He muttered, raising a brow in suspicion. “I… I’d respect Max’s decision.” He nodded despite of himself. “Kung yun yung gusto niya ee. I mean, sekreto niya yun. Bilang kaibigan niya, kelangan respetuhin mo yun.” Japo looked at Borge as though making sure she gets what he meant. “As for Ellie… well, siguro… gusto ni Max na siya ang magsabi? And…” Japo smiled. “Alam mo naman yung babaeng yun… pag nalaman niyang aalis si Max, baka ipasarado nun ang lahat ng airport sa buong Pilipinas!! Haha.”

Borge’s eyes widened in shock. “Whoa!!” She stepped away from the wall so as to face Japo. “Alam mo din yung—?!”

Bago pa makapag-explain si Japo, Nico emerged out from the gym. Nakapagpalit na ito in a simple black shirt and blue jersey shorts at may dala-dala pa itong isang malaking sports bag. He was still, however, dripping wet from his shower that he had a small white towel hanging around his neck and was drying his hair with it. “Sorry. Am I interrupting something?”

“Uy, Nico!” Japo smiled in greeting. “Hindi, may pinagkekwentuhan lang kami.” Japo then winked at Borge. “Oh, I better go Bea. Matra-traffic na ko sa lakas ng ulan na toh.”

“P-pero!! JAPO!!” Borge tried to call him again, pero tumakbo na si Japo sa ulanan gamit ulit yung notebook niya to cover himself.

I know myself better than anyone else… minsan kasi iniisip ko, I am not worthy of love – of being loved – or to be loved. Trust me, nothing about me is worth loving… c’mon, ang alam ko lang ang kumain, magpakatamad, matulog at maging stalker ni John Lloyd Cruz!! Which of these do you think can make someone like Miguel Josef Uy Monteverde fall in love with me? Haha. Seriously. That’s why I knew better that he was just probably playing around…

Ligaw? Psssh. Bullshit.

Like I said… REALITY CHECK ELLIE!!

Oo, REALITY CHECK talaga dahil hindi ako yung tipo ng babae na kaligaw-ligaw. One of the boys nga diba? Hindi uso sakin ang salitang love. The closest thing I had about falling in love was whenever I’m stalking the man of my dreams, si John Lloyd!! Oh bakit? Walang kokontra!! Ang kumontra papaluin ko ng spoon sa pwet!! Hahaha.

No, I am not degrading myself or anything. Sinasabi ko lang yung alam kong TOTOO. Ayokong umasa, ayoko sa lahat yung lokohin ang sarili ko sa isang bagay na alam kong hindi naman posible… maybe because, all this time… at the back of my mind… lagi kong naririnig yung boses ni Tita Yolly!! Yeah, yung tita ni Sef…

Minsan ko lang siya nakita in-person, but her words were nothing but TRUE… and they were glued in my head like poison…

“You’re not good enough for Josef. And, sweety…You never will be.”
