"Yo like me? Am I hearing it right?" Felip said again.

"You're hearing it right Felip. I like you." She said without looking at him.

"Then tell me those words while looking in my own eyes." He demanded.

Kelly then faced Felip. "I like you, and it's final." She said while looking deep in his eyes.

Bigla nalang mapasipol si Garry na naging dahilan para mabasag ang katahimikan na namumutawi sa pagitan namin.

Tapos ay bigla nalang lumabas si Felip ng dorm namin ni Gail. Tapos humabol naman si Garry at naiwan kaming apat sa loob.

"Kelly, you really like him?" Pag uulit pa ni Gail.

"Gail.." I said with a warning voice.

"I'll just follow them." Sabi ni Mark tapos ay tumango ako.

Pagkalabas nya ay napa yuko si Kelly halatang ayaw ipakita na nasasaktan sya.

We both sighed. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko, hindi ako magaling mag comfort.

"Kelly, are you okay?" I asked.

Tiningnan nya ako and then she said na okay lang daw sya.

"Okay ka lang ba talaga?" I asked.

"No, I'm not okay." She said and then she cried.

"I already know, that I have no chance to be with him, that's why the time that we bumped into each other, I hid my feelings. I wanted to be close to him, I wanted to see him laughing, smiling, frowning. I wanted to see it up close." She wiped her tears.

"I wanted to be the girl he loves, I wanted to be her, so that I can feel the love he's giving. I wanted to feel that different love, that's why I pretend that I don't have feelings for him. I said to myself that, It's for the better Kelly its okay to pretend once."

What will be her reaction if I said to her that I'm the girl that Felip loves?

"He fcking gave me a reason para umasa. He told me that he loves seing me laugh, because seing it makes him laugh too. He also told me comforting words the time I lose over my cousin. Yun ang dahilan kaya umasa ako. Umasa ako na maybe, he likes me too. Maybe I have a chance over him. And that is the reason that I loved him more."

I then go near her and hug her.

"Tahan na. Everything is going to be okay."

"Kelly, 'wag mo munang iyakan yun, hindi nya deserve na iyakan mo sya. Hindi pa sya worth it." Sabi pa ni Gail

"Gail ikuha mo naman si Kelly ng tubig oh." Sabi ko at tumayo sya.

"No need to say sorry Sapphire. I know that he loves you. He always steal glances to you. Lagi ka nyang bukang bibig. Okay lang because you're my friend. I can't afford to lose you too." She said and then hugged me.

"Kelly, gusto kong malaman mo na, hindi ko sya gusto, hindi ko rin sya mahal Kelly." I said at binawian din sya ng yakap.

"Kelly, hindi ka naman mahirap mahalin eh. Sigurado akong someday, magugustuhan ka rin ng Felip na yun. Hmm, someday."

"Thank you.."

"Para naman saan  Kelly?"

"For being a good friend."

I smiled because of that. I'm happy that someone considered me as her friend.

"Oh nasaan na sya?" Tanong ni Gail.

"Nasa kama ko, nakatulog kakaiyak."

Nagpatango tango sya.

"Alam mo, kung magiging ganyan ako pag nag mahal, siguro hindi nalang."

"Bakit naman?"

"Ayokong umiyak ng dahil sa lalaki Sapphire. Kaya kung magiging kagaya lang ako ni Kelly, ay 'wag na."

"Hay nako Gail. Masayang magmahal. Hindi naman sa lahat ng pagkakataon ay iiyak ka."

"Palibhasa kasi in love ka."

I laughed because of that. "Wait lang, lalabas lang ako ah. Ikaw muna ang bahala sa kanya."

"Sige. Babalik ka ha, baka mamaya nasa ibang dorm kana."

"Tangina mo!" Sabi ko at tinalsikan sya ng unan.

Pagkalabas ko naramdaman ko ang sariwang hangin na lumapat sa balat ko.

Huminga ako ng malalim at nag lakad lakd.

Since 4 o'clock na ng hapon kaya bukas na ang mga ilaw.

Ang totoo naman ay may pupuntahan ako kaya ako lumabas.

"Mark, sabihin mo nga sa akin kung paano mo malalaman kung gusto mo na yung isang tao?" Narinig ko agad ang boses nina Mark at Felip na nag uusap.

"Bro, alam mo na yun. You already felt it right? Its the same feeling bro."

"I'm damn confused. The fact that she confessed makes me damn confused."

"C'mon, did you felt the same way that you felt before?"

"A little."

"Sorry to interrupt." I said at pumasok na ako ng dorm nila.

"S-sapphire.." Felip said so tense.

"Oh, bakit gulat na gulat ka nung makita mo ako? May kasunod ba akong multo?" Pag bibiro ko.

"A-ah ano. K-kumusta si K-kelly?" He said. Tense na tense.

"Tense na tense ah. 'Wag ganyan." Sabi ko at natawa. "Ayos naman sya. Nandun pa sa dorm namin natutulog."

"I felt bad for her." Sabi ni Felip.

"Why?"

"Because I can't love her back."

"Ehem!" Biglang nag pekeng ubo si Mark.

"Chill ka lang bro." Sabi naman ni Felip.

"Look, hindi mahirap mahalin si Kelly ha. Hindi sya mahirap gustuhin. Just, try to love her. I assure you, its worth it."

"So... you're dumping me?" Felip said while smirking.

Ah sige inisin mo lang si Mark.

"Uh, yes?"

"But I still love you." He said and then he plastered a smile.

"Fck Felip, Fck! Stop that nonsense or you will sleep outside our dorm!" Mark shouted.

"Okay then, Sapphire, can I sleep in your dorm later?"

What the hell. Sige lang napaka effective ng ginagawa mo Felip.

"Fck you Felip!" Mark said again.

"You said na sa labas ako matutulog, hindi ba, labas din yun?" He asked innocently.

I gave him a dead stare.

"Stop Felip. Don't fool around." I said to him.

He then raised his hands sign of surrender. "Okay okay. I'm just pissing him off."

"Napaka effective." Sabi ki at napairap.

"I know." He said and then laugh.

"Its not funny!" We both said which made Felip laugh more.
