"Hindi kasi yan dyan. Bakit ba ang kulit mo!" I said angrily at Alfred. Ipilit ba naman yung picture nya sa may sala. Baka awayin pa ko ng fiance nya.
"Gwapo ko kaya dito. Pang-akit ng mga bisita." May magpapalaki pa nyang sabi.
"Seriously?! What happened to my shy and nerdy bestfriend?" Imposible na talaga.
"Well, my fiance happened." Nakangisi pa nyang sagot. Binato ko sya ng throw pillow.
"Cheesy." Sabi ko na parang nandidiri pa.
"Sorry nakalimutan kong bitter ka pala. Haha" aba't talaga namang career nya masyado ang pangbubully sakin.
"Sige lang. Pag ako nainis sayo maghanap ka ng wedding planner na malaki ang discount." Pananakot ko.
"Joke lang naman. Gutom na kasi ako magpamerienda ka naman. Kuripot mo." Reklamo niya.
"Alam ko namang magugutom ka talaga kasi timawa ka kaya nagpadeliver na ko ng pizza. Kakahiya po sayo e." Wag na kayo magtaka ganyan tlga kami mag-usap nyan.
Ding dong. Ding dong.
"At dahil ikaw ang gutom tignan mo baka yung pizza na yon." Utos ko sa timawang to.
"Sabi ko na nga ba sasabihin mo yon e. Haha" sabi nya habang papunta sa may pinto.
I went up my room to get money para bayad. Pagbaba mo wala pa rin si Alfred sa may sala so I followed him out. And I saw his back at me, he was talking to a man, na hindi delivery boy.
"Hoy nasan yung pizza?"tanong ko na medyo pabalang sanay naman na sakin yan. When he turned around I saw the man whom he was talking to. It's Parker. Oh wow? What can I say? I walk to get near to them. Medyo awkward.
"Ah, hey!" Seriously? Yun ang una kong naisip na sabihin.
"Hey." He replied. Spell awkward? U-S. Us. We are so awkward. I turned to Alfred na ngayon ay tahimik lang. Nasan na ba ang kadaldalan nito ngayong kailangan? Tsk.
"Hoy! Bakit andyan lang kayo? Hindi uso pumasok?" Tila natauhan naman si Alfred.
"Oo nga pala. Hehe. Tsaka bakit ako ang mag aaya sakanya pumasok? Bahay ko?" Hay nako kaibigan ko ba talaga to?
"Ahh Parker pasok ka. Hayaan mo na si Alfie dyan." I joked to which he smiled and walked in.
"Oh ikaw? Dyan ka talaga?" Tanong ko kay alfred na hanggang ngayon ay nakatayo sa may gate.
"I'm giving you the opportunity to be alone with him." He said to me with ang little smirk on his face. Bwisit to ah.
" Wag kang kakain ng pizza ha! Bwisit!" I almost shouted at him.
"Joke lang to naman. tara na nga baka naghihintay na ang forever mo. Haha." Nauna pa syang pumasok sakin.
"Ulol!" Singhal ko pa. Pagpasok namin andun na si Parker nakaupo sa may sofa na parang kinakabahan.
"Hey! Kamusta ka na?" I asked him to ease his tension.
"I'm good. And you?" Ngayon naman ay sa magazine na sya nakatingin.
"Mabuti din naman. " he looked at me for a while then glanced
back at the magazine. Nagdoorbell na at si alfred na ang lumabas dahil yung pizza na iyon. Timawa talaga. Haha
"Maganda ba yang magazine?" Tanong ko.
"Huh?" Tila gulat naman nyang sabi.
"Hehe. Dyan ka kasi nakatingin pero ako ang kausap mo." He looked at me then smiled awkwardly.
"Sorry. I just don't know what to say given the fact that things were not good between us when you left." He explained to me. This time, I was the one who smiled at him.
"Let's just not think about ito anymore. That was like ages ago. Tsaka nagmove on na ko kasi kung hindi sayang naman yung frienship natin diba?"
"Well, uhmm.. what should I say?" He asked shyly.
"Hahaha. You looked funny when you're shy. Kalimutan mo na nga sabi iyon. Didn't I told you in my letter that we can still be friends after I moved on? So, for the renewal of our friendship?" I asked him sa I offer my fist for a bump.
"Friends." He then bumped his fist to mine. He smiled but ito didn't reached his eyes though. Well, maybe he's still shy.
"Hoy!" Biglang sigaw ni alfred mula sa labas. "Yung pambayad ng pizza mamaya na kayo magtitigan dyan." I didn't even realized that we were staring at each other.
"Ako na lalabas at magbabayad. Baka kupitin mo pa yung sukli." I laughed to ease the awkwardness yet again I am starting to feel.
"Kapal mo. Mayaman ako." Alfred told me back. I just made a face ang went out, leaving the uneasiness I feel behind. I still feel a little something for him pero tanggap ko na ang sitwasyon namin. I guess it can't really be helped.
