The Choices That Define Us...

I had a little chat with Sunshine (opo, nag-uusap na kami) a few hours before his birthday.

"So you don't talk to them anymore?" Sunshine asked me.

I nodded, "Nope, medyo matagal na kaming di okay."

"And all because he slept with Alex's ex a short time after they broke up?" he asked me.

"That was my initial reasoning, yes," I replied.

"Hmmm..." Sunshine responded.

"What? You think I made the wrong decision?" I asked him.

"Well, the way I see it, you're really out of the picture on this one; you have nothing to do with it," he answered.

I pondered his statement, "So you think what he did was right?"

"No, I didn't say that. I'm just saying it's their life," Sunshine explained, "Technically, hiwalay na sila ni Alex nung nag sex sila."

"Oh and that fact makes everything ok, I guess," I said, sarcastically, "Sunshine, bestfriend niya si Alex. What they did was wrong. Of course, they're only human, but that doesn't excuse the fact."

Sunshine thought for a moment before answering, "Paano nalaman ni Alex na may nangyari sa ex niya at sa bestfriend niya?"

"Well, shockingly enough, it was the bestfriend who admitted it," I answered, "For a moment there, I thought people would naturally assume I was the one who told Alex."

"What do you plan to do?" he asked.

"Do? I plan to do nothing," I replied, "Like you said, I'm out of it."

"Buti pa ako, steady lang," Sunshine joked.

"Honga," I kidded back, "Happy birthday nga pala."
