I rolled my eyes at him. Of course! Talagang may kapalit 'tong ginagawa niya!
"Oo na!"
He smirked.
"Good."
A brief silence followed. Hindi 'yon nagtagal dahil nagsalita si Tresh kalaunan.
"You watched the snippets?"
The question made my heart skip a beat. I bit my lip. Marahan akong tumango. He nodded, too. Muli siyang tumahimik bago binasag ulit ang katahimikan.
"That guy's been crazy for you right from the very beginning, Gal. Mahal ka no'n. I know that for a fact," he said ang shrugged. "I'm his bestfriend, after all."

Snippet 3 - Parents' home

"Yanna, do you like her?"
"Yes!" she exclaimed. "I love Moana!"
"I'm not talking about Moana."
"Huh?"
Ike pouts at the cam-corder and Yanna finally understood. She grinned.
"Of course, I like her."
"Why?"
"Why not?" she asked innocently, looking up at his older brother. "I thought you like her too?"
He couldn't answer. A few seconds passed, but he still couldn't.
"What's with the cam-corder?" his mom butt in, noticing that the cam was pointed at her and Galeley.
Ike just laughed.

"Tresh, bilisan mo naman! Wala na bang ibibilis 'to?"
"Malapit na tayo sa downtown. Hindi na 'ko pwedeng lumagpas sa speed limit, ano ka ba?"
I groaned. Oo, malapit na nga kami sa downtown. That's supposed to be a good thing dahil ibig sabihin no'n, malapit na rin kami sa apartment ni Ike. Kaso, nauubusan na rin kami ng oras! I can't calm down at this point!
Halos minu-minuto kong tinitingnan kung anong oras na. Kinakabahan ako. Pero nananaig pa rin ang kagustuhang makita si Ike at sabihin sa kanya ang totoo kong nararamdaman.
Pupunta siyang CDO. Anytime soon, dederetso na siya papuntang airport. Baka wala na 'kong maabutan. Heck I just really need to do this now. I need to let him know how I really feel before he leaves. Kung ipapagpabukas ko pa 'to, baka mawalan na 'ko ng lakas ng loob.
We drove across the flyover. Hanggang ss lumiko papuntang Bajada. More and more, I feel myself getting closer to him. Sana lang nando'n nga siya.
I take a look at my watch and figured we only have fifteen minutes. Oh, God.
"Makakaabot pa kaya tayo?"
I glanced at Tresh expectantly. Nanghihingi ako ng motivational words pero ang gago, kabaliktaran ang sinabi.
"I think we won't be able to make it. Magdasal ka na lang na umabot."
I raised my middle finger at him and he laughed. Kahit mukhang biro lang yung sinabi niya ay nakaapekto pa rin 'yon sa'kin. Kasi pa'no nga kung wala na?
If all this goes to waste, ewan ko na lang.
I gazed outside the window. The afternoon sun was already setting as a train of thoughts occupied my mind.
