“Sige. Ako nang bahala.”
Binigay ko pagka-uwian ang letter kay Tammy. Kinikilig-kilig pa nung binabasa niya yung letter.
“Van. Listen to this oh! If you don’t mind, I hope we can go out sometime. I’d be very glad to hear from you. Sorry kung napaka-traditional ko ah. I just really wanted a tangible thing to give to you. And this is the best thing I can think of. Yours sincerely, Kyle…. VAN!!! He’s asking if we can go out sometime. Kinikilig ako!”
“So love letter pala yan.”
“Bakit? Ano sa tingin mo? Emo letter? Ganun?”
“Sarcastic ka ngayon. Ganon? Porke you’ve been asked out by your crush, hah?”
“Eh kasi naman ikaw, man-up! Kung ayaw ka pansinin, ikaw ang pumansin!”
“Tamatha! We’ve been over this a thousand times.”
“And you still are not learning.”
“How do you think I feel?”
“I don’t know Van. You’re vague. But I do know one thing. What you’re feeling. It’s not pleasant.”
“Just… Stop it.”
“Listen to your heart Van. Try to remember how to feel again. Try to remember.”
That night, I dreamed.
“Yvana. Yvana. Please. Tell me you’re okay. Please.”
“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me!”
“Why wouldn’t I worry. You’re always so careless.”
“Sorry.”
“Lagi ka nalang nag-sosorry. Alam mo ba kung gano ako nasasaktan kapag nasasaktan ka!?”
“Okay. Chill there. Okay lang ako.”
“Hindi eh. You’re always scathed. Always.”
“Ano ba!? Sinabi naman sayong okay lang ako. Kung makapag-alala ka, daig mo pa ang kaibigan eh.”
“I love you. Mahal kita. Kaya ayoko ng nagkakaganyan ka.”
“Whoa! Wait. What!?”
“I- I said I love you…”
“Ahhh--- Like a friend. Okay.”
