Tripartite Love

"Ano?" Ilang beses akong lumunok at parang nabingi sa mga sinabi n'ya. "Pakiulit nga, Eris. Hindi ko narinig." I lied just to convince him to repeat what he said.

I calm my voice so I will able to talk to him and focus because I was like nervous as a cat in a dog pound.

Plus, I'm really confused and maybe later, my mind would be drained on thinking what he actually want to confess.

Until such time, Eris just glanced down and his gaze drifting from my lips up to my eyes and by the same token, he abruptly bit his lower lip for a second.

Parang gusto nitong bawiin ang sinabi n'ya kanina sa itsurang pinapakita n'ya sa'kin ngayon.

I'm about to say something when he let out a sigh and sucked a short gasp of air into his lungs.

"I guess I like you," He said with a serious and fortunately in a perfect position to act, his face remained emotionless and then he sudden shook his head. "No. I mean, I like you." He corrected.

I was surprised for a moment and my lips clamped together firmly. "Totoo ba 'yan? Teka, ikaw ba talaga si Eris?"

I just can't believe.

Hindi naman n'ya sinagot ang tanong ko, sa halip ay tinignan lang n'ya ako ng seryoso. Akmang may itatanong pa sana ako ngunit, nasulyapan kong dadaan ang Professor namin sa Calculus kaya mabilis kong hinila si Eris papasok ng kanilang kwarto.

Nagulat s'ya sa ginawa ko pero kaagad din s'yang nakabawi.

Isinarado ko ang pinto at inilock. Inilibot ko rin ang paningin sa buong kwarto at hinanap si Ivann.

"Where's Ivann?" I asked Eris without looking at him, I'm still finding Ivann at the 4 sides of the room.

"On Jace's room, together with Zach." He answered, his voice was gravely.

Napatango naman ako sa kan'ya. Sandali akong kumagat sa pang-ibabang labi at tiningala ito. He's just standing in front of me and his hand is still on his pocket. His lips was closed and a bored eyes was staring back at me.

He took a gulp as I stepped closer on him.

"Ano nga ulit yung sinabi mo?" Muli kong tanong kay Eris.

He just breathe a sigh and looked away. "I said, you need to clean your ears."

Pagkasabi n'ya noon, lumakad s'ya papunta sa balkonahe ng kwarto nila at doon tumayo.

Sinundan ko naman s'ya.

Tumabi ako rito at inis itong tinignan.

"Ang ibig kong sabihin," I said tersely. "How? Pa'no mo ko nagustuhan? Akala ko ba ayaw mo sa'kin? Why all of a sudden?"

Hindi naman sa nagpapakipot ako, he's just confusing and I want answer. Pero pinipigilan ko lang talaga ang kilig ko ngayon. I need to stay firm.

Sinulyapan lang ako nito saglit at parang nag-iisip pa ng isasagot.

Muli naman akong nagtanong. I want to voice out what's on my mind. Mababaliw ako kapag hindi ko ginawa 'yon. This is also my chance... my chance to say sorry for him.

Ilang sandali pa, pinatong ni Eris ang dalawang kamay sa railings at huminga ng malalim. Nakatingin s'ya sa madilim na kalangitan samantalang ako naman ay pinapanood lang s'ya.

"Just like in the past, there's something about you that can easily turn my heart into someone I don't want to become." He paused, still not looking at me. "In how many years of ignoring you, why the fuck you didn't stop?" From this moment, he turn his gaze towards me.
