Jennie

Lisa and I are still here inside our room habang patuloy niyang ikinukwento sakin how she struggled nung umalis ako. Hearing her stories made me guilty. I didn't know na ganun kalaki yung naging impact nung ginawa ko sa kanya. I didn't know that she didn't just lose me that time, but she almost lost everything she had. Gladly she was able to cope up.

No one was speaking, we were just enjoying each other's company while we both watching the Netflix series seriously but Lisa broke the silence when she speaks again.

"Alam mo bang sinundan kita sa US"

Hindi ako makapaniwala sa biglaang confession niya kaya hindi ako nakapagsalita agad. I looked up to see her face giving her a questioning look.

"Yes, I did follow you. Hindi ko alam kung nakita mo ko back then but I was there"

I got curious so I hover on top of her so I can faced her.

"Really? When?" I asked.

She followed me? Pero bakit hindi siya nagpakita sakin?

"Do you remember your first project? Yung fashion show with Lily Rose Depp?"

My eye widened. I remember that. Naaalala kong sinabi ko yun kay Dad because that was the time that Seungho entrusted me the whole show. She's there, she's really there. I remembered seeing her that moment sa venue pero hindi ko alam kung totoo yun o nagiimagine lang ako dahil agad din naman siyang nawala.

I looked at her giving her a 'seriously' look.

"Yes, andun ako. I was actually waiting outside the venue, waiting for you to come out" she smiled weakly habang nagkukwento siya.

"I thought.. I thought naghahallucinate lang ako that time. Akala ko hindi totoong nakita kita. But here you are confirming that what I saw is really you, I was just wondering, bakit ka pumunta? bakit hindi mo ko nilapitan?" tanong ko.

She sat down too which made me now sitting on her lap bago niya hinawakan at bahagyang pinisil yung mga kamay ko.

"I came there para makita ka. Para kausapin ka at makipagayos, but I was taken aback when I saw you with Seungho. Prior to that incident nakita ko na kayo sa labas ng apartment mo the night before the fashion show. That moment akala ko may namamagitan na sa inyo kaya nagalit ako sayo at umalis. Pakiramdam ko kasi nung mga panahon na yun na madali mo kong pinagpalit dahil ilang buwan palang tayong hiwalay tapos may Seungho na sa buhay mo. Kaya ayun nagpabook agad ako ng flight pabalik dito sa Manila"

Ramdam ko yung sakit at lungkot habang kinukwento niya yun. If she was there the night before the fashion show, maybe namisinterpret niya na hinahatid ako ni Seungho sa bahay. Although that time Seungho confessed to me, I made it clear to him na all I can offer is friendship coz my heart still belongs to someone else which is Lisa.

"I'm sorry kung nasaktan na naman kita nung mga time na yun, pero gusto kong malaman mo na ni minsan hindi ko naisip na ipagpalit ka o sagutin si Seungho dahil ang totoo umaasa pa rin ako na makakaya natin to, that we can work this out, na pagsubok lang lahat ng mga nangyari satin. Alam mo, ilang beses kong ginustong umuwi dahil miss na miss na kita pero hindi ko ginawa kasi natatakot ako sa magiging reaksyon mo, natatakot ako na baka hindi mo na ko tanggapin kaya I let the fate decide when will we see each other again, until Seulgi's wedding"

I cupped her cheeks then I continue talking.

"When I came back here for Seulgi's wedding sobrang kabado ko coz I know I'm still into you, pero natatakot ako na makita na baka may iba ka na and I know hindi ko yun kakayanin. I know I am too selfish to think that way kasi ako naman yung nangiwan. When we see each other, ni hindi ko magawang tumingin sayo coz everytime I looked at you nasasaktan ako. Kasi puno na ng galit yung mga tingin mo sakin nung panahon na yun. Alam mo ba akala ko hindi na tayo darating sa ganito. Na maguusap tayo ng maayos, na makakasama ulit kita, na mayayakap ulit kita ng ganito. Thank you coz you let me to" I said then I gave her a quick peck on her lips.
