After they had so much of singing they all decided to take snacks bago umuwi. They saw gerald sitting on the bench outside.

Jake: o bro dito ka lang pala kala ko umalis ka na.. tara magsnacks muna tayo

Matteo: are you ok bro? 

Gerald: ok lang naman ako, bro pwede bang mauna na lang ako? I just want to rest at home

Kim;(wala naman syang sakit kanina ah, at di naman sya mukhang may sakit.. naku mukhang nagtampo nga yata..)

Mel: naku gerald, wala ka kasama pauwi.. magsnacks lang tayo tapos uwi narin tayo,. 

Maja:oo nga naman, naku first time natin lumabas tapos alis ka pa kagad.. lets go guys sasama yan si ge.. si kim na bahala jan..

They all went and headed to a cakeshop. They went in pair kaya gerald and kim walk together. Di nagsasalita si gerald kaya si kim  tahimik din. Hanggang sa makaupo na sila tahimik parin ang dalawa. The tables were for 6 people. Maja, Matteo, Erich and Enchong sitted together while Mel Jake were waiting for kim and gerald. Kim sat with mel and jake but gerald went to sit with erich and company. Kim juts stared at him. Somehow she felt guilty coz she knew she was really harsh, but on the otherhand she felt annoyed kasi feeling nya dindramahan lang sya ni gerald.

Jake: bro dito ka o..

Gerald just gave a sign saying he's good in there

Mel: see that kimmy? ano? di ka ba magsosorry? Lq kagad kayo ah

Kim: were not lovers okay! hayaan mo sya drama lang yun..

Mel: paupuin mu sya jan sa tabi mo

Kim: ayaw nga nya di ba? tsaka bakit ba? 

Mel: ang arte mo girl! pasalamat ka maganda ka!

Kim: ano ba mel? sya yung oa kung magreact tapos sya pa yung may gana mag inarte

Mel: lower voice kanina ka pa nya tinignan..

Kim: so? (she looked at gerald) I don't care!

Gerald was not that far kaya he can still hear what kim and mel were talking about.  It really hurts hearing those things. Gusto nya na umalis pero di makagalaw ang paa nya, Ang sakit pala marinig yun sa taong mahalaga sayo. He didnt sat beside kim kasi alam nyang galit to sa kanya. He can't look straight at her eyes kasi he's guilty. Happy sya na finally na meet na nya si kim, naka kwentuhan, nakatabi, nahawakan. It felt so good cudling her in his arms. Siguro he was overwhelmed kaya ganun sya magreact. He knew he should slowdown with his moves. That whole time tahimik silang pareho. Kim glanced at gerald once in a while and she noticed that Gerald never touched his food.

Kim;(masama nga siguro pakiramdam nya...)

Mel: uyyy pasulyap sulyap ka pa jan.. so tell me? nakonsensya ka na ba?

Kim: jake may sakit ba talaga sya?

Jake: siguro.. di ko alam eh

Kim: di man lang sya kumain

Mel: concern..naks! lapitan mo na!

Kim: mel ano ba?

mEL: Mag sorry ka ha? 

Kim: oo!

After eating they finalyy went home. Kim was about to approach gerald while they were walking to the parking lot..

Gerald: kuya, pasabay ha?

Kim thought na sabay sila ni Gerald, na they have time to talk with each other, tapos biglang ganun.. 

Jake: bro okay ka lang? 

Gerald: i just need rest..

Mel knew na umiiwas si gerald kay kim, and looking at kim alam nyang she wanted to talk to him to apologize, kaya sya nang gumawa ng paraan. Kim was about to leave alone.

Mel: kimmy? alis ka na? 

Kim: oo kita kits nalang tayo sa bahay

Mel: wala ka kasabay? are you gonna be okay?

Kim: oo naman no..

Mel: samahan kita gusto mo? kaya lang magcocoffee pa kami ni jake

Jake: ha?

Mel: di ba? di ba? (gave jake a just say yes look)

Jake; ah oo nga bro.. (sensing what mel planned) bro kay kimmy ka nalng sumakay ha.. mauna ka na umuwi

Gerald: okay lang ako.. taxi nalang ako baka ma out of the way pa sya

Mel: ano ka ba?iisang buliding lang tayo na katira.. out of the way ka jan

He went to Kim's car, gusto din naman nya sumakay sa car ni kim pero hindi nya maintindihan yung feeling nya. Takit na sya magsalita at gumaalaw kasi baka may di na naman magustuhan si kim sa mga ginagawa nya. He remebered their deal earlier, as much as he wanted to drive for kim he went to the passenger seat at the back. He was about to open the door.

Kim: nakalimutan mo na yung deal natin? A y masam pala pakiramdam mo.. sige jan ka na lang..

Gerald: i can drive you know, baka lang kasi galit ka..

Kim: sorry if i was harsh on you earlier.. she gaved gerald a sweet smile  and then handed the keys

Gerald: you'll let me drive?

Kim: yes, i was the one who made the deal so tinutupad ko lang..

Kim thought that it was a good start pero hindi.. He just gave her a half smile.

Ang tipid naman ng smile na yun. galit ba talaga sya? Ganun ba talaga kasakit yung mga sinabi ko? kim asked herself

It was the longest drive kim experienced. Gerald never speak It kills her, It knocked her conscience. Gusto nya sigawan si gerald ng "hoy ano to silent treatment? ikaw na oa ikaw pa dramaprince jan"

As she was looking at gerald, blank lang emotion nya, he didn't smile.

Gerald on the other hand don't know how he is going to start a conversation. After what happened earlier na realize nya na msyado syang mabilis na baka nasasakal o natatakot na nya si kim.  

Hanggang makarating sila sa condo nila di pa rin sila nagsasalita pareho. Even when kim accidentally slipped herself Gerald did'nt say a word. He help her, pero ganun lang.

When they reached their floor, kim was walking ahead of Gerald, she stopped as she reached their door hoping Gerald would say goodnight. Gerald looked just looked at her still not saying a word. 

Kim: pasok na ko. Goodnight!

Si gerald, ayun ngumiti lang.. torpe ka ba ano ha Ge? Nawala na ba dila mo? Uso naman yung Goodnight din sayo na line ah.. try mo magsalita hindi bawal yun! Gosh ano ba nangyayari sakin? Gerald said to himself as he watched kim vanished before his eyes.

He went inside and went straight to the bathroom. He washed his face then talked to the mirror

"ano ba problema mo? nagsorry na naman sya ah.. bakit ba nagdrama mo? Bakit ka ba ganyan? Bakit ako ganto? I love her! I love her even the first time i lay my eyes on her! i love the feeling of her skin touching mine. Kahit tingin nya sakin psycho ako at kurimaw, I still love her. But I hate myself! I hate me for being so overreacting! Can she blame me? Sabi nya ladies room lang tapos 1 hour na wala pa sya, nagalala lang ako.. Pero i have no right,, we just met just this day. Ayun nga we just met pero badshot na kagad ako. He must really hates me. Kung nagsalita ka kasi, eh anung sasabihin ko? Na ayaw kong nawawala sya sa paningin ko? I don't want her to be alone, I want to comfort her kasi I know she's in pain.. I want to protect her! Eh diba nag that's exactly the reason why we are not okay? What am I going to do? "

HAY  ang haba ng drama ni ge.. pasensya na kung para syang baliw..

back to the story

Kim was tossing at the bed when melissa enteres their room

Mel: can't sleep?

Kim: Amd i that harsh to him?

Mel: what happen?

kim: he didn't talk, kahit nadapa na ko di parin sya nagsalita, maski goodnight wala

Mel: and? so?

Kim: I felt guilty.. 

Mel: and why are you guilty?

Kim: ewan ko.. 

Mel; Kimmy if i may say so, Your acting differently, hindi naman sa ayaw ko yang mga kinikilos mo... infact I like it, I like it na parang walang nangyari sayo. You just have a heartache about 3 days ago, and here you are worried that someone you just met is  not talking to you. 

Kim: ano ka ba? syempre nagmomove on na ko, I realized na maraming mga bagay na mas mahalaga, at marami pang nagmamahal sakin. gusto mo umiyak na lang ako at magmmukmok for months?

Mel: of course not, di ba nga i like it.

Kim: ayoko lang naman na maging masama yung first impression nya sakin. We're neighbors and we'll be seing each other a lot of times, ayoko naman ng may iniiwasan ako.

Mel just grinned at her

Kim: ayoko yang ngiti mo ha! I'm just being friendly. When I say I'm moving on, it doesn't mean I'm ready to love again.

Mel: wala naman ako sinabi ah..

Kim: ewan ko sayo! 

That night kim find it hard to sleep. She went up and drank a hot milk. As she sat on the sofa, she tried to examined herself for the past days. Mel was right it was just barely 3 days. And if it was like before by that time she is just crying and stuck in her room. Pero ngaun,  she just slept over it, tapos wala na. She tried to remember Michael, she felt pain. SHe tried to analyze herself. SHe searched for the love, the love she felt for Michael

She came into this conclusion 

I think I moved on. Yes its really fast, pero the pain I'm feeling is just normal. Its just pain you feel everytime you remeber some bad memories in your past. Its the tears in your eyes when you remembered some down moments in your past. Its past. Its just like that. I do love him, a love for someone who has been part of my life, who once turn my dull world into paradise, He will always remain special, pero yun na lang yun.  For now all i want to do is to live on with my life, forget the past and start anew.

nice one kimmy... mabuti yan.. start a new life!
