"What do you want from me?" iritang tanong ko sayo. We haven't seen each other for years now because you left for abroad. Months after that you stopped talking to me as if we didn't have a thing.
"I want you back, well- We didn't broke up right?" maarteng sabi mo.
"What? What are you saying? You left me without a word and then years after babalik ka at sasabihin mo you want me back? Are you insane?"
"Maybe I am, I was too confused with life before. Believe me baby, I'm sorry." you pleaded. You know me, madali akong mauto sa simpleng paglalambing mo but not this time.
"Sorry, pero may girlfriend na ako at mahal na mahal ko siya."
"Who is this lucky girl? Tell me."
"It's none of your business. Could you please stop calling me? Nakakabother ka na, If you can't respect me respetuhin mo naman yung sarili mo." I said bago ka talikuran.
I hate it, I hate this confrontation. I've been waiting for you since forever to explain your side, to explain why did you left me 2 years ago. Tapos ngayon sasabihin mo sa akin na na confused ka at you want me back?

Ininvite ako ng Parents ni Ali para magdinner sa kanila birthday kasi ng Dad niya at may party.
"Ano bang gusto ng Dad mo? I'll buy him a gift." sabi ko sayo habang palabas tayo ng school. "Okay lang baby wag ka na mag-abala." sabi mo.
"I'll drop you off sa bahay niyo then uuwi lang ako para magshower ha."
"Why? Okay naman yang suot mo? You smell good pa din naman?" nagtatakang tanong mo.
"Baby, ayoko naman magmukhang ewan doon sa party ng Dad mo."
"But you're so fine naman- well for me." sabi mo sabay wink.
"Sasagutin mo na ba ko nyan?" I said.
"You want me to?"
"Not until you're ready baby."
Inihatid kita at umuwi para magshower at magpalit ng damit. I was too annoyed with Steph kasi last week niya pa ako kinukulit, tulad nalang ngayon tumatawag na naman siya. Nakipagkita ako kanina during lunch dahil sobrang mapilit niya. Nag-ayos na ako at pumunta na ulit sa bahay niyo.
Pagkadating ko ay sinalubong mo agad ako. "Bakit ka naka dress?" masungit na tanong mo. "uh, baby para formal naman. Nakakahiya sa bisita ng Dad mo." sabi ko.
"Sa tabi lang kita palagi." you commanded. Sobrang possessive eh? Cute. Pagpasok natin sa gate ay madaming tao. Sabi mo naman din ay puro close friends lang din ng Dad at Mom mo ang bisita niyo.
"I'll introduce you to my sister." sabi mo sabay lingon tila ba hinahanap ang ipapakilala mo.
"Sister?" nagtatakang tanong ko, I didn't know you have a sister.
"Baby this is Steph- my younger sister. Steph, this is Louise." pagpapakilala mo.
Napatingin ako kay Steph na halatang nagulat din. "Sissy? Girlfriend mo?" tanong nito. I remember I told her na may girlfriend na ako.
"Ah, not yet but soon." sabi mo sabay ngiti.
"Ohhhh, soon.. It's nice to meet you Louise." sabi nito at inilahad ang kamay.
Nagdalawang isip pa ako kung aabutin ko ito o hindi. Baka magtaka ka kaya inabot ko ito.
"Let's go inside? Hinihintay ka na ni Dad." sabi mo sa akin at hinawakan ang kamay ko. Napatingin ako kay Steph at nakangiti ito ng nakakaloko.
