"Ako ba nabunot mo?" she asked me, looking clueless. No, baby, that's my gift for you kase you deserve it. I told her that I didn't pick her name and I apologized because it's just from my savings kasi ayaw ko naman humingi nang humingi sa parents ko ng pambili sa mga nagugustuhan ko.
Her eyes sparkled and I saw her happiness. "Ano ba, you don't have to do this." She looked at me and I asked for her hand para mailagay ko yung bracelet. Ben&Ben played their song and it was so unreal. Holding her hand while listening to song, parang ayoko na umalis. Cali, you are my home.
I sadly excused myself because I still have to fix some things for tonight's program. I was walking outside the gymnasium when Seah approached me, I hesitated to talk to her kasi ayoko na rin magkaroon ng issue between her and Cali.
"Jay, can we talk?" she asked me.
"We can talk here, what is it?" I asked her casually.
"Uh, can you come with me sa parking? I have to give you something, a Christmas gift." she chuckled a bit. I was really hesitant to come with her.
"I don't want to sound rude, Seah but-" she cut me off and pulled me away.
"This is going to be quick." halos kaladkarin niya na ako papuntang parking.
"Seah, ano ba?!" I let go of her hand and faced her directly. "Gaano ba kaimportante yang sasabihin mo at dito mo pa ako dinala?" my brows furrowed then I let out a deep sigh.
"Jay, please..." she was holding my hand and I was confused, I don't know what she's doing.
"Seah, hindi kita gusto." I straightforwardly said.
"Why? I was there since Day 1, Jay. Ako yung kasama mo lagi, bakit si Cali pa?" she was crying already. I hate seeing girls cry but I just have to do this for Cali. Wala na akong pakealam sa sasabihin ng iba basta siya ang gusto ko.
