inis na sagot ni Yeng. Natawa na lamang silang tatlo at nagpatuloy sa pagkain. Meeting a new friends is quite fun. Kahit papaano nakakalimutan n'ya ang lalaking nang iwan sa kan'ya. Naghuntahan pa silang apat at naging close, masaya din si Glory na may nadagdag sa kanila.

It gave me hope. Eight-thirty, Cherry Gibaga, my colleague-classmate, texted me. At last! Thanks to her mother. I contacted her, 'kanina'. I have learned so much from her, about her love life, career and about Marie Jaye Gobis, my ex. Haay! It's a small world. She also gave me some of our classmate's numbers. Now, I could text them so that I could find Glenn and Ramon's numbers. They're my best friends, who I have never seen for a long time.

Natawa kasi ito gayon din ang iilan pang kasama ni Hector. Hindi na lamang ako umimik. Dapat pala hindi muna ako bumili ng milktea. Nawalan na tuloy iyon ng yelo. Dahil walang magawa.

sambit ko sa kanila hindi pa ako pamilyar sa mga kaibigan ni KJ at nabanggit nito ako pa lang ang naging babae sa barkada nila. (It’s true, you all know him better than I do—I think this is the first time they’ve had a female friend usually, it’s just their friends’ girlfriends who hang out with them.) “Geurae, geuneun jom dalla. Nado geureul joahaess-eo, geudeuri geuleon yeoja chingu-reul gajin jeogi eobsneunde, neoga cheoeum-iya. Neo neomu kaloghae (fun)!”

Agad nitong bungad sa kan'ya matapos sagutin ang telepono Kilala talaga siya ng kaibigan. Well, hindi naman siya rito tumatawag kapag wala siyang iuutos. That's how their friendship works. Hindi sila kagaya ng ibang magkaibigan na madalas mag-usap at magkumustahan dahil pareho rin naman silang busy sa mga misyon at trabaho nila. Bumabawi naman sila sa isa't isa kapag nagkikita sila. They are having a sparring and playing hide and seek but with a twist. Bala ng baril, mga kunai, shuriken, at dagger ang hahanap sa 'yo. That's their bonding. Unusual isn't it?

"Well, now that we know about all of this, I hope you continue to tell us what is going on with your life. Because none of this will scare us away." I smiled. "I know that now." Friends. They are hard to find. But when you get some, you'd have to do everything to keep them.

Nag madali ako sa pag aayos ng sarili dahil doon. Gusto kong kumpirmahin kung dito ba siya natulog at para makapag pasalamat na rin para sa kagabi.

takang tanong ko. “Oo. Ewan ko ba. Makakalimutin ako minsan.” Weird. Agad siyang napangiti ng malapad pagkatapos non at tumabi siya sa akin habang naglalakad palabas ng school.
