I put my phone down and let out a sigh. Why didn't I tell her naman kasi.

I often tell people that sa tatlong Robredo sisters kay Jill ako pinaka close. It started off as a joke, pero naging true siya at some point in our highschool or college life-hindi ko na matandaan kung kailan.

Nagkajowa kasi si Trishy, and we kind of fell apart. Siguro ayaw ni tadhana na kami nalang palagi ang nagsasama. Ewan ko kung ba't ganyan, marunong naman akong mag-share.

Halos lahat ng jowa ni Tricia ayaw sa'kin. Ang iba ginawa akong demonyo sa mata ni Tricia ang iba naman minarcos si Tricia palayo sa'kin. Bawal bang maging friends sa jowa niyo mga bastos kayo, feeling gwapo masyado.

Pero from time to time naman she tried reaching out and apologizing. Of course I gave in, I forgave her. Sino naman ako para magalit sa kanya, hindi ko naman siya jowa diba. Hindi ko naman gustong jowain si Tricia.

hindi ba talaga? o napilitang humindi nalang.

Bawal naman kasi akong mag-jowa. Ayaw ni mom at ni dad, and it's okay. I know it's for my own good. Never akong na-ingit sa mga may jowa, except sa kay Trish.

Hindi ko alam if gusto kong ma experience ang magka-jowa o ang

Na confuse ako so I did the next best thing to do, I left. I stopped interacting with her, I avoided her. No explanation, no everything.

My phone buzzed, nag text siya.

I'm sorry, I should've known better. Matagal na tayong hindi nagkita, nabigla lang ako. Let's talk and catch up, libre kita.

I ignored it, I don't know what to respond. I mean kaya ko namang mag yes diba. Ba't ako natatakot?

It buzzed again.

Sige ka, pag umayaw ka susugorin kita diyan sa bahay mo.

I sighed sabay smile. Minsan lang may mang-yaya sa 'kin gumala na may sabay threaten, si Tricia lang din naman 'yon. So I gave in na, marupok naman ako.

sige na nga, sunduin mo ako. Hindi ako magdadala ng pera para libre mo talaga.

sige na, i'll be there in 5 ha. mag ready ka na.

I laughed and put my phone down. Tumayo na ako para mag ready at bumaba sa sala.

"San gala mo?" tanong ni mama. "Sa tabi-tabi lang po with Tricia" I replied. "Sige mag-ingat kayo, wag mong pa-iyakin yan" I rolled my eyes, na feel siguro ni mom kasi tumawa siya. "Hindi naman ako maldita mom"

"Nandiyan na manliligaw mo. Sige na, layas na" she laughed. I glared at her, ano ba kasi tong mama ko.

I went out and hopped in the car. "Hi ganda," I looked at her. She was wearing a blue polo shirt and jeans, big smile. "Hello pogi, san gala natin ngayon?" she chuckled. "Sa cafe nila Raffy, mag catch up mona tayo. Miss na miss na kita eh," she jokingly said squeezing my cheek. "Miss, inaway mo nga ako kanina. Tingin ka nalang sa daan" she giggles. I giggled rin, masyadong nakakahawa kasi eh.

"Sa totoo lang, na miss talaga kita y/n," I looked at her at tumawa. "Totoo" sabi niya. "Bakit biglang naging dramatic ka," I laughed. She looked sad habang nag change gear.

"I regret what I did"

"wala ka namang ginawa Trish"

"Iniwan kita eh, kaya I lost you."

"I never left naman, masyado kang dramatic"

"You did leave, not physically but emotionally minsan mentally"

"..."

"I got carried away sa mga naging jowa ko, then after that sa work and school. Diba labs na labs kita? Dapat I stayed with you."

"You don't have to stay with me to prove na labs mo ako"

"I know, pero still,"

I looked at her in awe, her voice cracked. Parang ma-iiyak na siya. I didn't know ganyan pala ang impact ng pag-alis ko. I had no choice naman, I was confused. Nag seselos ako sa taong hindi ko jowa.

"labs kita sobra y/n," I smiled.

"best friend kita diba" she added looking at me with a smile.
