Chapter 16

“Bakit mo naman nireplyan ng ganun yung tao?” Tinanong kita. “Li, trust me when I say there’s more to it that she wants than just hanging out.” Sagot mo. “Hindi ko kasi maintindihan, wala nanaman na yung samin, sobrang saglit lang nun Nini, and I think walang masama kung maging friends man kami ulit.” Sagot ko naman.

“Sige, lets say walang masama maging friends kayo ulit, But let me ask you this, would you like it if maging friends kami ni Hanbin?” Tanong niya sakin at may point siya kasi, Malinaw pa sa buwan na ayokong mangyari yon. “Syempre ayaw ko.” Sagot ko. “Exactly, and that’s the same with Tzuyu. I don’t want you to be friends with her.” Pag explain naman ni Jennie.

“What happened nung last time na andito tayong lahat?” Tanong ko. I just have to know kung anong pinag usapan nila. “Okay, para matahimik ka sasabihin ko sayo. Kahit di mo naman sabihin sakin, I know it’s been bothering you.” Sabi mo naman. Siguro nga, sa tagal na nating magkaibigan, kilalang kilala mo na talaga ko. Pero it took you long enough to realize na gusto kita. Hehe ang labo lang. Di ko rin alam kung nakakatawa ba yun o nakakatanga. Ewan.

 “Sabi niya sakin ok lang kahit may girlfriend ka na, na nag bago yung isip niya kaya siya sumama sa dorm with Jisoo kasi gusto ka niya makausap. Library buddy mo padin daw siya no matter what and pag sinaktan daw kita andun lng siya for you. She also told me na kayang kaya ka niyang bawiin sakin.” Pag eepxlain ni Jennie.

Hindi ko alam na ganun yung pinag usapan nila. I didn’t expect that coming from Tzuyu. Kasi all these time I thought naiintindihan niya yung situation ko.Maybe kaya nag caclash sila ni Jen is because of the things na mga nakwento ko sakanya before. Totoo naming nasasaktan ako pero I also didn’t mean to antagonize Jennie sa mga mata ni Tzuyu. Yun din siguro yung nag fuel ng things kaya sa isip ni Tzuyu, sasaktan lng ako ni Jennie.

“Sorry.” Sabi ko sayo. “Bakit ka nag sosorry?” Tanong mo sakin. “Kasalanan ko kasi kung bakit nagkaganun. Nung mga time kasi na magkasama kami, we became close. I felt comfortable talking about things to her and nakwento ko nga yung tungkol sayo before na all these time, It was one sided love and wala akong pag asa sayo. Hopless ganon.” Page explain ko. “How easy was it for you to share something like that sa taong hindi mo naman ganun kakilala?” Tanong sakin ni Jennie and she had a point. Truth is, hindi ko alam. I just felt comfortable around Tzuyu to be honest and that was it.

“Hindi naman sa ganun. Syempre hindi madali. Look, Our friends didn’t even know about the whole thing until later. Pero kasi with her, I just felt comfortable. Maybe it’s because dahil hindi nga kami ganun magkakilala so there’s no judgement. Pero knowing what you told me, merong judgement na nangyari kasi Tzuyu and I got closer. Najudge ka niya without really putting things into consideration. Yung situation mo before, hindi niya rin naman alam yon. Like me, I didn’t know until you came to me one day and confessed.  So, kasalanan ko. I’m sorry.” Sinabi ko.

“Do you trust me?” tanong ko sayo. “Of course I do.” Sagot mo. “Then there’s nothing to worry about. If Tzuyu said na kaya niya kong bawiin sayo, then she doesn’t know me very well. Kasi ikaw lang yung laman nito.” Pagsabi ko as I took her hand and placed it on my chest. “Okay?” Tanong ko.

“Hindi mo naman ako hahayaang mapunta sakanya diba?” Tanong ko ulit sayo at umiling ka. “Odi, wala tayong problem.” Sagot ko naman. “Pero ayoko parin nakikipag hangout ka dun kay Tzuyu.” Sabi mo naman and I realized na siguro nga hindi pa talaga panahon para maging friends kami ni Tzuyu knowing yung mga sinabi niya kay Jennie, magiging reason lng ng possible na pag aaway naming ni Jennie yun and it’s not worth it.

“Ok, I won’t hang out with her. Happy ka na?” Tanong ko at ngumiti ka naman. “Pero same goes with you and Hanbin. Ayokong nakikipag usap ka or malalaman ko nalang friends na kayo.” Sabi ko naman sakanya. “Okay.” Sagot mo. “Promise mo?” Tanong ko. “Oo nga promise. Wag kana kasi manununtok. Masasaktan ka lang, ang pangit nito oh.” Sabi mo at tinignan ang kamay ko.

May point naman siya. Napikon lang talaga ako kanina. Pakiramdam ko parang mapapatay ko ang hayop nay un sa sobrang kulit. Buti nalang hindi ako nagantihan ng pangit nay un. “Eh kagagawan naman to ng ex mo, ang epal kasi.” Sagot ko naman. Kiniss mo naman yung kamay ko. “Masakit parin.” Pang aasar ko naman sayo. “You can’t kiss away the pain baby, You’re kissing the wrong part.” Sabi ko naman sabay wink sakanya.

“Alam mo, I realized something.” Sabi mo naman at curious naman akong nagtanong. “Ano narealize mo?” Sabi ko at tumingin sayo. “Narealize ko, malibog ka pala talagang natural no?”  Sabi mo at walang tigil naman ang pag tawa mo. “Nini naman eh!”  Nahihiya kong sabi.

“Bakit? Not true?” Tanong mo sakin. “Slight lang.” Sabi ko naman. “Slight mo mukha mo Lalisa. You don’
