Azaia's POV:
"I really don't know you; I know your name and other stuff, but I still feel that I don't know you."
Pagkatapos kong sabihin yun ay nagmadali akong lumabas ng bahay nila.
Wala 'kong maintindihan.
Hindi ko alam saan ako galit, dahil ba naging sila ng pinsan niya,dahil ba parang pinagloloko nila ako while hiding the truth, o dahil ba kasi dala dala niya man lang phone niya pero ba't hindi masagot sagot yubg text o tawag ko, ganun niya ba ka ayaw ma disturbo?
Ano ba dapat maramdaman ko? Ano mararamdaman niyo kung kayo yung nasa lugar ko?
nagmukha akong tanga, sobrang tanga. If I weren't here, hinding hindi ko siguro malalaman, mukha naman kasi walang siyang planong sabihin.
I waited for his call, I waited like a fool.
All these years, tangina, all these years, I was fooled.
No'ng time na pareho silang pumupunta sa bahay ko, watching them cooking together, teasing each other, they looked so sweet, and I don't even care kasi magpinsan naman sila, pero what the heck with this!?
"Aya, wait--"
He reached out for my hand, but I pushed his hand away.
"Aya"
Saktong paglabas ko sa gate nila ay naabutan ko si Felice na kakalabas lang ng taxi na may dalang maleta.
"Why the hell are you here?"
Tanong ni Hachi,
Si Felice pala hinatid niya sa airport kanina.
Napatingin sakin si Felice,
Hindi niya alam kung sasagutin niya ba ang tanong ni Hachi or wag na lang.
Unbelievable.
Napairap ako sa hangin at nagsimulang maglakad ulit,
Bahala na silang dalawa dyan, mga sinunggaling.
"Aya! Ano ba! Kanina pa kita pinipigilang umalis, ano ba problema mo?"
Pagpigil sakin ni Hachi,
Napalingon ako sa kanya, at palapit siya sakin.
"Slate"
Napatingin kami pareho kay Felice nang tawagin niya si Hachi,
"I'm not leaving. I'm staying here, tell that to Tito. "
"Let's not talk about that here, Felice..."
Wala talaga siyang planong sabihin sakin.
Napakagat labi ako, I shouldn't be here, why am I here?
Nagmadali akong umalis doon nang tawagin ako ni Hachi,
"SLATE! LETS TALK FIRST!"
sigaw ni Felice,
Napatigil ulit ako at nilingon si Hachi,
He's in the middle between me and Felice and looks so confused right now; he's confused kung saan siya pupunta.
Palipat-lipat siya ng tingin sakin at kay Felice,
"You two should talk. Don't mind me."
After I said that ay tuluyan na akong umalid doon holding back my tears.
'Di na ako iiyak.
Ba't ako iiyak?
Ako na nga yung nagmukhan tanga, ako pa ba ang iiyak.
