Yung feeling na nasa fantasy land ka na tapos biglang nag formation 'yung dark clouds sa mismong kinatatayuan mo sabay biglang ulan with matching lightning in it? Ayun na e? Kill joy to the highest degree. But things happened. Brandon and I kissed unexpectedly, and so Zerica and Norma saw us unexpectedly.

"Are you alright Wesley?" my ex caressed my shocked face.

Zerica tried to make me relax. Para kase akong nahuli sa isang sitwasyong hindi ko naman talaga kasalanan pero ako pa rin ang sinisisi. Frame up ba?

Brandon went down the hill without saying a word. Norma voluntarily followed him. I knew what he exactly feels kase nararamdaman ko na 'yun. The situation was awkward kaya instead na i-tease pa kami ng dalawa specially Zerica, they both empathized with us.

I looked at Zerica's sympathetic eyes. Hindi ako makatingin nang diretso. Paano ako mag-eexplain? Napaka dumb ko naman kung ganun e alam na alam naman niya kung gaano ako patay na patay sa Brandon na 'yun. So she should understand. But why I'm feeling differently?

"May mga bagay talaga na hindi mo naman dapat nakikita pa kase hindi naman talaga ganun 'yun," my voice was trembling. "It's not what it is"

"Then ano 'yun Baby boy?" she said softly. "I understand where you're coming from. You don't need to explain," she touched my face again.

"No you don't understand," I took away her hand off my face. "Ibalato mo na 'to sa 'kin Zerica"

"Keep what was yours. I'm not here to judge you. Para sa 'kin what I saw was just a normal meeting of two people showing their affection with each other"

"We do not love each other," I said. I'm at this point na hirap na hirap i-explain sa kanya kung ano talaga ang real deal sa 'min ni Brandon. "I mean, we're not yet in that phase. We're just...." I stopped, thinking of the appropriate words to describe what had happened.

"Okay? I believe you just did it because it happened. No further explanations right?"

"It just happened believe it or not"

I knew I'm not making any sense sa sinasabi ko. Ayaw ko lang talaga magconclude dahil hindi pa naman talaga ako umaabot sa puntong 'yun.

"I'm happy for you Wesley," she smiled. "Kahit anong mangyari, happy talaga ako for you"

"Ha?" my brows went arched. "Well, I'm not happy na you saw us?"

"Nakita man namin kayo o hindi, basta I'm happy for you. Wag kang praning! Mas mapraning ka kung ibang tao ang nakakita sa inyo, na makikitid ang utak. Definitely, you're not a stranger to me."

Yeah, Zerica was right. Mas mapraning ako kung ibang tao ang nakakita sa 'min ni Brandon. Pero hindi ko naman pwedeng sabihing THANK YOU sa kanila na nakita nila kami. Basta....

"So kailangan ko pa talagang magpasalamat sayo kase ikaw ang nakakita sa 'min, hindi ibang tao?" I said sarcastically.

Kinotongan niya ako sa parteng kaliwa ng ulo ko. "Hmmpfff! Pilosopo much? 'Wag mo nang dibdibin na nakita namin kayo. Move on rin Wesley ha?"

"Agad agad move on? E paano si Brandon? Paano 'yung...." naisip ko na, dahil sa nakita kami ng dalawang 'to, Malabo na ata 'yung magiging expected closeness namin. He's straight. We just made an experiment. Makakaya ko pang lunukin 'yung kahihiyan ko, pero how about him? How can he handle this?
