XII.
"Do you chose to not to tell her?" I asked.
I'm sorry self but I really can't stop myself from asking.
"Yes, I do" She smiled.
"Why?" Tanong ko ulit. Sorry Janina for the pressure hay.
Ipinatong niya yung kamay niya sa kamay ko which is nasa manibela, "I have reasons why I can't tell her" Sabi niya.
"Can I know one rea--" She cut me off. "I'm sorry Dons, but I guess hanggang doon ka na lang muna"
Tumango na lang ako at humarap na sa daan.
Ihahatid ko na siya sa condo kasi she said she's tired na and for me na rin to know where she lived.
"Uuwi mo na ako?" She asked. Tumingin ako sa kanya, naka- pout siya habang nakatingin pa din sa daan.
Tumango ako, "Yup, why? ayaw mo pa? Gusto mo pa ako kasama?" Tanong ko sabay tawa.
Hinampas niya ako, "Kapal mo"
"Sus, kung naging girlfriend lang kita dati siguro pwede pa tayo magkabalikan kung ganito,"
Bahagya siyang napatigil. Dahan- dahan niya akong tiningnan.
"H- huh?" She asked in curiosity.
"Wala, I'm just kidding Janina, haha asa ka naman na magiging girlfriend kita." Banggit ko.
"O- oh yeah, yuck h- hindi talaga noh!" Nagbubulol- bulol siya sa pagsasalita.
"Ano, nga pala, did I already mention to you yung about sa girlfriend ko?" Simula ko.
I thought it's better for her to know na about that kasi, the fact naman na sinabi na din niya sakin yung about sa saan siya nakatira, I think sabihin na din to para quits na kami.
Nagtataka yung mukha ni Janina habang nakatitig sa akin. "Oh my gosh? You have a girlfriend? Or you had angirlfriend? Since when why didn't you te--" I cut her off.
Oh yeah, hindi ko nasabi na EX- GIRLFRIEND.
"Do you mean, ilang years kaming nagtagal ng EX girlfriend ko?" Diin ko. Napatawa tuloy ako.
"Hala? Di nga? Okay, ilang years kayo nagtagal?" Tanong niya.
"Okay, just be quiet and I'll tell you" I started. "We've been together for almost 3 years, yeah tatlong taon, kaso wala everything has its own ending. Alliah Buenaventura's her name. Her parents arranged her marriage with a guy, which is until now, hindi ko pa din alam ang pangalan," Nag- kibit balikat ako while smiling.
Hindi agad nakapag- react si Janina sa mga sinabi ko.
"A- alliah B- buenaventura?" Tanong niya,
Tumango ako, "Why? You know her?" Tanong ko pabalik.
"Ah hindi ah, ang ganda lang ng name, siguro maganda din siya ano?"
I nodded. Yup, she will always be.
"You love her really that much, do you?"
I nodded, once again. "Yes I will always do,"
She smiled. A tear fell down from her eyes. "You okay?" Tumango lang siya.
"Natandaan ko lang yung very first love ko," Panimula niya.
"Let's go inside" She said.
We're already here at her condo. It's just a small condo unit. It suits her.
"Uhm, about your, you know, love story, I wanna know what happened?"
