Lonely Boy Speaks Up...

"You're being very unfair, you know?" Lonely Boy told me while we were smoking sa may pantry.

"At baket naman?" I asked him.

"Eh kasi puro side ni Lonely Girl ang focus mo sa blog! Paano naman ako? So ako ang lalabas na masama?" he asked me.

"Bakeeet? May mabuti bang side sa story in regards to you?" I asked, poking him on the chest.

He laughed, "You know, people do stupid things when they're in love..."

Natahimik naman ako dun, "So in love ka kay Lonely Girl?"

He nodded, "Ano sa tingin mo ginagawa namin? Laro lang?"

"Aba! Malay ko ba kung nagpapatintero lang kayo sa kama?" ang sagot ko.

Tahimik lang siya.

"Not a lot of people in this office know na may anak ka na, di ba?" I asked him.

He nodded, still not speaking, looking all serious.

"Mahal mo pa rin ba ang asawa mo?" I asked.

He didn't say anything, just looked at me and lit another cigarette.

Finally, he answered, "I love my son."

I nodded, "Okay."

"Magulo eh, alam mo yun?" Lonely boy said, "Paminsan, parang di ko na alam ang gagawin ko. Sarap mag-resign na lang para matahimik na utak ko."

Tahimik lang ako. Ang juicy kasi ng moment.

Lonely Boy looked at me, "Sigurado ka bang wala ka pang sinasabihan kung sino kami?"

"Maraming nagmamakaawa pero wala pa akong inaamin..." I answered.

"May nakahula na ba?" He asked.

"Meron, pero pa-joke lang ang hula niya, akala niya imposible na kayo yun," I said, laughing, "Hindi niya alam siya lang sa buong opisina ang nakahula."

Tahimik naman si Lonely Boy.

"Anong balak mo ngayon?" I asked him.

"I'm going to make everything work, even if it kills me..." he answered.

I shook my head, "Mamamatay ka talaga diyan sa ginagawa mo. Pag ikaw nahuli ng manager mo na may karelasyon kang agent, nakuuu. Alam mo naman kung gaano ka-ipokrito mga tao dito pag dating sa ganiyan."

"Asus, may mga manager nga diyan na mas grabe pa ang kalokohan sa agent kesa sa akin eh," he replied, "At least ako, may feelings for Lonely Girl. Yung iba, sex lang talaga..."

"Reaaally? Sino?" I asked him, with bated breath.

"Ulol!" He answered.

Pero eventually, he did tell me...
