"Bulag kaba ah? ganyan kana ba talaga katanga? Sol, ang talino mo pero 'bat ka nagpapakabobo sa kaniya? ano bang meron sa Jack na 'yon at gustong gusto mo siya?"
Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin at pinipigilan ang sarili kong makipagtalo sa kaniya.
"Ano? ganon nalang yun? matapos ng lahat? tapos ano? okay na ulit kayo?" He laughed sarcastically while running his hand through his hair. "Ang tanga mo, Sol."
"Hindi mo'ko naiintindihan Jeno, hindi mo alam kong anong nararamdaman ko." Irita kung sabi dito. "Elementary palang tayo alam mo na gustong gusto ko siya diba? kaya 'bat mo pa tinatanong sa'kin 'yan?" I stopped myself from yelling at him, knowing he was upset dahil sa nangyari kahapon.
"Kaya nga naiinis ako! ang daming lalaki d'yan na kaya kang mahalin ng sobra, pero 'bat nagpapakatanga ka sa lalaking 'di ka man lang napapansin?" simamaan ko siya ng tingin, habang patuloy na inaayos ang mga gamit sa loob ng bag ko.
Gusto kung intindihin si Jeno, pero bakit kailangan niyang pangmukha sa'kin? Ano naman kung tanga ako? ano naman kung mukha na akong desperada sa mata nang iba? ano naman sayo Jeno!
"Ano bang pinuputok ng butchi mo? 'bat kaba nagagalit? ano! dahil mukha na'kong desperada? eh ano naman Jeno! Hindi naman ikaw nagmumukha tanga, kaya hayaan mo na ako." pakikipagtalo ko dito.
Ayokong makipagtalo kay Jeno, pero hindi ko na kaya.
"Sol...."
"Anong karapatan na husgahan ako, Jeno? wala kang karapatan na husgahan ako, kasi hindi kapa nagmahal. Bakit Jeno, nagmahal kana ba? may minahal kana ba? diba wala pa! kaya hinding hindi mo'ko maiintindihan!" Hindi ko na mapigilan ang sarili ko na 'di ito sigawan.
"You don't get it Sol," he whispered with the lower tone of his voice.
"Anong hindi ko naiintindiha-!"
"Naiinis ako kasi 'ket anong gawin ko, si Jack pa'din talaga." He laughed. "Sol, ni minsan ba? nakita mo 'din ba ako?" Tumawa siya ulit. "Araw araw kitang nakakasama pero bakit ang layo layo mo sa'kin." Nanatili siyang nakatayo sa harapan ko, habang nakatingin ito ng diretso sa mga mata ko, napaiwas ako ng tingin dahil hindi ko ito kayang labanan. "Sol, ganon kaba talaga kamanhid?" I stepped back as he started to move closer to me."
"Jeno...."
"Best friend mo lang naman ako, best friend lang, Sol."
"Ano bang sinasabi mo Jeno? tigilan mo nga 'ya--"
"Sol, I love you so damn much, but you only see me as your best friend, 'bat ba kasi ang manhid manhid mo."
