𝐛𝐲: 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚 𝐆𝐚𝐮𝐱

Kakauwi ko lang ng bahay galing kila Finn at katatapos ko lang maligo. Galing ako
sa bahay nila Finn nagkayayaan kasing uminom dahil weekends na.

Hindi naman masyadong marami ang nainom ko at mataas naman yung tolerance ko sa
alak kaya hindi ako nalasing.

Maghahanda na sana akong para matulog nang tumunong yung cellphone ko na nasa
bedside table katabi ng kama ko, kaya agad akong lumapit doon at kinuha yung
cellphone ko saka nahiga sa kama.

It's Finn my bestbuddy. Why the heck he call me? As far as I know he is already
knock out when I leave their house because of drunkenness.

I answerd his called.

"He dude, still awake?" He said with a husky voice.

"Nah I'm not. Like seriously dude, I wounldn't answered your call if I'm already
asleep." I said in sarcasm voice but he just laugh as an answer.

"Drunk call?" I asked. He just laugh as answer. Then he became silent for a long
time, I thought he was sleeping already.

Pero hinayaan ko lang na naka on call ang phone ko saka inilagay iyon sa tabi ko
malapit sa tenga just incase he called me again asking for help.

I was about to sleep when I heard he called my name.

"Jared? Still awake?" He asked. Hindi ko siya sinagot para sana isipin niya na
tulog na ako at patayin na ang tawag.

"Psstt hoi!" rinig kung tawag niya pero hindi parin ako sumasagot.

"Hayst wala na tinulugan na ako...." he said. Lihim akong napangiti dahil sa sinabi
niya, he really think that I was already sleeping.

Magsasalita na sana ako ng magsalita siya.

"You know what? Kanina habang tinititigan kita, ganda pala ng mata mo no?
HAHAHAHA........ kaya siguro nahulog ako." He said biglang bumilis ang tibok ng
puso ko.

"You know we've known each other for almost 6 years, but on those 6 years that we
spent together, walang araw na hindi ako nahuhulog sayo I tried to stop my feelings
for you, kasi ayaw kung masira ang friendship natin dahil sa walang kwentang
nararamdaman kong ito, pero wala eh gusto talaga kita at imbes na mawala ang
nararamdaman ko sayo mas lalong lumalala.." he was crying.

I was shock hearing that, hindi ako makapag salita at hindi ko alam kung anong
mararamdaman ko but one thing is for sure....
"Hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling ang katapangan ko at nasasabi ko ito sayo.
Siguro dahil lasing ako o siguro dahil nagseselos ako dahil may liniligawan ka."

"But don't worry dude. I promise starting from now on I will stop my feelings for
you no matter what. Even that would hurt my feeling I don't care, as long as I can
see you even from afar that's okay for me"

"This would be the first and last time that I'm going to tell you how much I love
you"

And then he ended the call.

At simula rin nang araw na iyon, I've never seen Finn anymore. Sabi nila nag
migrate na daw sila sa States at doon na sila maninirahan.
