"eh how about the guy na laging sumusundo sayo when were in college?. Anong nangyari sa kanya?. I thought siya na?" Kimmy asked.
"i dumped him. I found out na he's just using me.." sagot ko kay Kimmy at tinignan ko silang lahat at humalukipkip sabay sandal sa upuan ko.
"watdahell!?"
"seriously..!?"
"damn. Ni hindi mo pa nga napakilala yun sa amin."
"kaya you played for the other team?" sabat ni Rose na may himig ng...Hindi ko alam, i can't point out what she's trying to say. Hindi ko siya sinagot, i just looked at her with disgust on my face. Makuha ka sa tingin frend.
"Jho, maybe confused ka lang a-and you just want to explore.." dugtong ni Gizelle sa sinabi ni Rose.
"or Jho, baka curious ka lang..?" Dugtong din ni Marge. At sabay naman silang napatango at tingin sa akin.
"sana sinabi mo na single ka, i could've introduce you to my guy friends who's single" ngiting ngiti na dugtong ni Bettina para ma iba ang topic.
Napailing ako sa mnga walang kwentang tanong at sinasabi nila. I am a hundred and one percent sure that i am not confused and curious, and i'm too old to explore. Looking at them got me thinking, are these really my friends? Did i spend years of relationship in a homophobic friendship?
"nope, it's not because of that. Actually, wala akong plan to commit ngayon. My plan is to focus sa work and business. But Bea happen.... Guys, i will respect you and your decision if you can't accept me and stop being my friends. I don't mind. Okay lang. Anyways, Excuse me, i have some work to do. It was nice seeing you all by the way. Ingat kayo.." i stood up and hold the check book to pay our bill "ako na.." and turned my back to them. Hindi ko na sila nilingon pa kahit tinatawag nila ako. We've been friends since 2nd year college, i thought i fully know them. But i was wrong.
In the end people will reveal who they truly are, its just matter of time, space and the issue. I wouldn't even think twice to throw this friendship away, i don't mind, really. Losing friends is normal, and I've got nothing to lose. I have my Family, my Jad and Bea. Natanggap nga kami nina Mama and Papa, tapos sila na friends ko lang, hindi? If they can't or won't accept me, then so be it. Tuloy pa rin ang buhay ko. I don't need their approval nor their opinion.
Real friends should support each other and correct if its wrong. I know Bea and i's relationship is wrong and they're just rectifying me. Pero wala kaming inaapakan na tao ni Bea, we're just two girls who fell inlove with each other. Kaya there's nothing to correct and nothing's wrong.
When i was nearing our shop, malayo pa lang i saw my Bea in her dark yellow long sleeve polo na finold hanggang siko, khaki pants and her brown leather boat shoes. Damn ang gandang gwapo ng girlfriend ko. Since my maternity leave started, the next day up to now, ako na ng prepare ng mnga damit na susuutin niya. Ang dami niyang office polo but she only has two colors, either black o white. Kaya when i recovered from giving birth. i decided to buy her some colorful polo's, which she don't like, but still wears it.
I stopped a few meters away from her and observe her for a few minutes. Hindi mapakali, she's walking back and forth at panay kalikot sa phone na parang may tinatawagan and a bouquet of sunflowers in her left hands. i took my phone out para sana kunan ko siya ng picture. Pero she's calling me pala. Mapag tripan nga.
Hello?
Love! Where are you.. Natatarantang tanong niya.
Sa puso mo.. 1point for Jhoana.
