�Bye Steph!� Tristan and Meg said simultaneously.
�Bye Meg, bye Tristan!� I answered habang winewave �yung kamay ko.
The cotillion practice had just finished and nauna nang umuwi si Meg. Palibhasa kasabay niya si Tristan kaya ayun oh, kilig na kilig naman siya.
I went to the practice of the basketball varsity. Sabay na sana kami uuwi ni Nathan pero sabi niya hindi na daw kailangan. Weird pero I didn�t question it, umuwi na lang ako mag-isa. �Yun pala may naghihintay sa�kin sa may gate ng school, and Nathan knew it.
I recognized the person right away and as soon as he saw me, ngumiti siya agad. Bumilis �yung heart beat ko. Hindi ko alam kung dahil sa kilig o marahil dahil na rin sa kaba. Either way, I knew something unexpected will happen. I smiled pero hindi ko sure kung ngiti nga talaga yo�n. Feeling ko mukhang pilit siya. I walked towards the person.
�Hi Steph,� he greeted.
�Hi Lawrence�
�You�ve been busy. Pwede pa rin ba kita ihatid?�
�Siyempre naman noh.�
Napangiti naman ako. This time, hindi na pilit.
�Alam mo Steph, na-miss kita.�
Miss? How should I respond towards this? Anong dapat kong sabihin? I did miss him, pero kaunti lang. I guess I was preoccupied with other things that I didn�t really think about him that much. Yet saying that would cause him pain. Aixt�
As if sensing my thoughts, he quickly added,
�Not that I expect you to miss me too. Alam ko namang marami kang ginagawa.�
With his statements, I just nodded.
�Yung paghatid niya sakin sa bahay, parang �yun na yata ang pinakamahabang bagay na nangyari sa buhay ko. Ang tahimik kasi namin and honestly speaking, it�s not him, it�s me. Ilang akong makipag-usap sa kanya kaya whenever he would bring up a topic, it would immediately die down.
Being finally at home, it was a great relief. Sa totoo lang talaga.
When we reached my doorstep, just as I was about to say goodbye, Lawrence slowly took my hand. It was unexpected but I didn�t let go. He squeezed my hand gently as he spoke the words that I still carry up to now,
�Steph, I love you so much and I�m willing to do anything to make you happy, even if it means giving you up. Tandaan mo lang, kapag iniwan o sinaktan ka niya, nandito lang ako.�
He lowered his head down to mine and my body froze. I thought he would kiss me but he tilted his head to my ears and whispered, �Good luck sa sports league.� After that, he went away.
[i]Thank you Lawrence. I love you too, but only as a friend for now.[/i]
