Tss. Pano ko ba tatanggalin ang toyo nito? Natutulig na ko sa kasisigaw nya. -____________-
AHHH.
“I told you to wear your bandage.”
“Haa? Ah.. Eh... I DID! Nakita mo naman diba?”
“Yes, but you removed it before the presentation.”
“O...oy hindi ah!”
“Really.”
“Hindi nga! May pruweba ka ba!?”
“I have my witness.”
“WEH!? Sino nga daw?”
“Thea.”
“HUWAT!?”
*Flashback*
Papasok na ko ng backstage para sunduin si Faye nang lumabas mula doon si Thea.
“I...Ivan!?”
“Where’s Faye?”
“Ah, eh... Nagbibihis!”
“Ah. Tell her I’ll wait for her here.”
“AH SIGE!” She was about to get inside the room when I stopped her. Something’s wrong.
“Thea.”
“YES!?”
“You have something to say?”
“WAAAAAH SORRY NA IVAN!”
“Bakit?”
“Si... Si Leeanne kase eh...”
“Anong nangyari kay Faye?”
“Hinubad nya yung bandage kanina...”
“What? Bakit?”
“Eh kasi daw panget.”
“What a lame reason. That girl... tsk.”
“Wag ka magalala Ivan! Muka namang okay lang sya e. Hindi naman sya dumadaing.”
“Ofcourse she won’t. She won’t let us know.”
“Ah... eh... muka namang okay lang sya e.”
“We’ll see.”
*end of flashback*
“UGH si Thea talaga!”
“She just told me the truth.”
“She didn’t have to!”
“Why do you have to be so selfish?”
“A...ano? Selfish? Ako pa ngayon ang selfish!? Ayoko lang naman na mag-alala kayo ah!”
“Sa tingin mo ba hindi ako mag-aalala kapag di mo sinasabi sakin? It ends up the other way around. I know you, Leanne Faye. I know you a lot. You can never hide anything from me. I know you that much that I can always read you. How many times do I have to tell you that?”
“I just... I just don’t want to be a burden. Lalo na sayo, Ivan. You’ve always been there for me. You always take care of me. Pero ako, wala pa kong nagagawang kahit ano para sayo. Puro na lang ako, ako. Oo siguro nga tama ka, sobrang selfish ko. Kaya nga gusto kong maging independent. Ayokong masanay na lagi kang nandyan dahil alam kong darating ang panahon na iiwan mo na din ako. It hurts so much to lose someone, Ivan. Ayoko nang maramdaman ulit yun.”
Her tears are almost falling but she keeps on holding them.
There she goes again, trying to be strong.
