"There are things that your heart knows but your mind can't explain."

Christian's POV

What on earth did I just do to Emerald? Napasampal ako ng sarili habang naglalakad palabas ng condo unit namin. I just left her.

I'm such a jerk.

Bakit ko ba siya hinalikan? I don't understand. My heart already belongs to Michael and I fucking know that I'm gay but what was that urge?

The feeling when I saw her biting her lower lip was unstoppable. Tapos ang kulit pa niya. The urges became completely unstoppable nung hindi pa siya tumigil sa pagkagat.

Napabuga na lang ako ng hangin. I honestly don't want to see Michael at the moment.

Napatigil ako sa kalagitnaan ng paglalakad nang biglang nag ring ang cellphone ko. Tinignan ko and up to my surprise it wasn't Michael.

Incoming call..
Yuan Baklantot

Agad agad kong sinagot. Yuan is my best friend and I don't even remember when was the last time he contacted me. He was there when Emerald left me, he saw my pain.

"Conalei! Musta ka na? Kalurkey ah! Tagal na rin bago tayelz nagkausap. Musta na jowabelles mong makyonget?" Pambati ko sa kaniya sa kabilang telepono.

"Okay lang naman. Matagal na kaming hiwalay."

"I feel sorry for you Conalei! Gusto mo hanapan kita fafabol? Maraming chopopo na kilala si Michael." Pag papagaan ko sa loob niya even though he doesn't seem sad.

"Hindi ko pa ba nasasabi sa'yo? I already have a girlfriend."

"Ano?! What?! Huh? Teka, nabingi ata ak--"

"Gaga! Ang kulit mo talaga kahit kailan. May girlfriend na ako. Mag da-dalawang taon na kami."

"We honestly need to talk right now." Sabi ko sa kabilang linya at agad naman siyang sumangayon na magkita kami.

Wala naman sigurong masama kung mamaya na ako pupunta sa hospital diba? I just shrugged then continue walking.

I badly need an advice right now.

Napasinghap ako nung nakita ko siya. Andito kami sa starbucks at kung hindi niya lang sinabi kung ano ang exact na damit niya ay hindi ko siya mamumukhaan. He looks so different now.

The last time I saw him, may padding sa dibdib, padding sa pwet, false eyelashes and such but look at him now. He's manlier than any boy you'll ever see.

"Conalei! Jusmeyo marimar, what happened to you?! You look entirely different. Jusme, muntik na kita hindi makilala." I said as I eyed him from head to toe. Napatingin din ako sa dalawang frappe na nasa harap namin. Nag order na pala siya.

"Well, I need to do this for her." He genuinely smiled. Uminom muna ako ng onti sa frappe na para sa'kin and stated my response.

"You don't need to change for her beks! If she wants you to change who you really are then she doesn't deserve you." Sabi ko.
