"Ubusin mo 'yan,"

"I'm on a diet!" Agad kong reklamo nang lagyan ulit ni Isaac yung pinggan ko ng kanin at ulam. "That's too much!" I hissed.

I just started my diet plan last Wednesday and now he's ruining it!

"You only ate three spoonfuls of rice with tiny side dish. That's not fucking diet. Baka dying, maniniwala pa 'ko," paratang niya kaya sumama ang timpla ng mukha ko.

"Isaac, busog na ako!" I'm not serious.

"Keep lying. Bubusugin ka n'yang pagsisinungaling mo," Isaac shot back.

Ngumuso lang ako at humalukipkip sa inuupuan ko nang ipagpatuloy niya ang pagkain. I stared longer at him when he opened some shrimps for me and placed it on my plate. Ngumuso ako, just as he glanced at me for a moment before he continued eating his own food.

Hindi ko tuloy napigilang mapangiti. That simple act was enough to make me kilig. Tangina pati ako nagiging conyo na rin. Epekto ng may kaibigang conyo, si Patricia.

Tsaka kilig? Lintek, kelan pa ako kinikilig sa kanya?!

Dali dali kong binura ang ngiting nasa labi ko nang tignan niya ako saglit. "Isaac, I'm not going to cheat on my diet,"

"It's not cheating. You're just shifting your dying plan to a more health fucking living," untag niya bago ngumuya. Wow, may kasama pang mura. Dying plan raw?

"What now? You're now my diet mentor? I thought you're just my friend?" I told him and stopped when I realized what I just said.

It's been a week already. And for the past days, Isaac was always around. Kapag pagkatapos ng klase at wala silang game or practice, hinihintay niya ako sa labas ng classroom ko. Kaya pinagtitinginan pa kami at pinag-uusapan ng mga estudyante. Yung iba, pinapahalata pa sa akin ang inggit nila! Kapag Viking nga naman ang kasama, ihanda mo na sarili mo na makatanggap parati ng masasamang tingin at mga inggit na titig mula sa mga fans nila.

The bruises I got from him healed. And I am proud to admit to myself that I've totally forgiven him already. We're now in good terms. No hard feelings. Sa totoo lang, pinaghirapan niyang makuha ang kapatawaran na hinihingi niya. He did everything I never expected him to do. He proved to me that he sticks to his word. He showed me sincerity. Isaac never failed to keep trying. Hanggang sa tuluyan nang mabura ang sakit na nakaukit sa puso ko. I never knew that pain could go away. But I believe that whoever did wrong to you or whoever has pained you in anyway, they're the only ones who can heal the scar. It's not just you but also them.

I gave Isaac a second chance. So far, he's taking it with pure sincerity.

Minsan, inaaya niya rin akong lumabas gaya ngayon. Sinundo niya ako at niyaya na mag-dinner dito sa isang seafood reataurant. And to be honest, napapansin ko sa sarili ko na ang gaan na ng loob ko kay Isaac. And I'm starting to get used to his presence. Kasi naman, ang daming mga babaeng nag-aaya sa kanyang makipag-date, maraming nang-aakit sa kanya, maraming nagpapapansin, maraming nanunubok kausapin siya, pero ni isa sa kanila ay wala siyang pinapansin lalo na kapag kasama niya ako. Si Brix na mismo ang nagsabi sa akin noon.
