“EH! So girlfriend mo nga sya?”
“No.”
“Hmmm.... Ex girlfriend?”
“Sort of?”
“WHAT!? Panong sort of!?”
“So nosy, Leeanne.”
“Eh sige na, atin-atin lang naman e.”
“We had some ‘mutual understanding’.”
“WHAT!? Naging MU kayo!?”
“Sssssshhhhhh.” Biglang sabi nya at nilagay ang hintuturo nya sa labi ko. “Would you mind toning down your voice? Or d’you want my lips to keep you silent?”
“Ah eh sorry na. Information overload kasi e. Uhm... Alam ba ni Vano?”
“Ofcourse he knows. They’re best of friends.”
WAIT LANG...
“Ay teka. Lagi na lang ako yung nagsheshare. Ako kilalang-kilala mo na samantalang wala pa akong masyadong alam tungkol sayo.”
“What do you want to know?” tanong nya. Hmm.. Ano nga ba?
“Nagmahal ka na ba?”
“Yeah.”
“TALAGA!? Kelan pa? Kanino? Naging kayo ba? Gano katagal? Kayo pa ba? Masay...”
“Pwede bang hinay-hinay lang sa pagtatanong?”
“Okay sige. Kanino?”
“Kay Bella Blaire.”
“Bella Blaire? Sounds familiar.”
“Nabanggit ko na sya sayo noon. She’s my best friend.”
“Ayy oo nga pala. Kelan pa yun?”
“Back when I was in High school.”
“Naging kayo ba?”
“No.”
“Bakit naman?”
“Ayaw nya daw masayang yung friendship namin.”
“Ganun ba yun? Bitter types ba sya pag nagbreak kayo?”
“And she liked someone else.”
“Hala? Sayang naman. Naging sila naman ba?”
“No.”
“Bakit?”
“Ang alam ko, naging magkaMU sila. Nawalan nga sya ng oras para sakin mula nung naging ganun sila. But then one time, pumunta sya sakin ng umiiyak.”
“Hala bakit naman?”
“Nag-iba na lang daw bigla yung lalaki. He acted like nothing happened between them.”
OH NOES. Naalala ko na. Nung isang gabing nag real talk kami ni Vano after ng Christmas party nila... Hindi kaya... Hindi kaya si Kevin yung lalaking tinutukoy ni Vano?
“Leeanne.”
“Oh?”
“You look stunned. Okay ka lang ba?”
“Ah.. eh okay lang. Naubos lang siguro yung brain cells ko sa FinAcc.”
“So where are we going after this?”
“Uhmmm, uuwi?”
“I don’t want to go home yet.”
“San naman tayo pupunta?”
