"laham," I call. Three hours na siya sa room namin nagtago. I pissed her off siguro, I don't know why naman. She just refuses to leave. "Langga, lumabas kana please" I say softly knocking on the door. "May tinapay sa kusina, bili ko"

wala talagang sagot.

"Bebu, wag na magalit please" I begged. Nakakatakot na'to. Kapag ako sinumbong sa mama neto, lagot ako sa presidente. "Patricia, please" I sighed and back away from the door.

"Sino ba 'yong babaeng kasama mo kanina?" My eyes widened. Yan lang pala?

"Alam mo selosa ka masyado. Clingy na, selosa pa" I joked. "Gusto ko lang malaman sino 'yong babae na palaging tumatawa kasama ang girlfriend ko," I sat on the floor my side leaning on the door.

"Nakakatawa ba ang mga jokes mo? Are they that funny? funny enough for her to laugh all the time? Everytime she laughs para siyang baliw. Hindi naman nakakatawa jokes mo" she said. "So hindi funny for you, but maybe for her funny. You're making a big deal of something so little Tricia" I felt her slam the door. "Oh edi mag sama kayo, umalis ka at 'wag kanang bumalik"

"Okay, sige bahala ka na diyan" I stood up and left. Talagang aalis ako, she made something little a big thing. I took my keys and got out of our apartment. I wanna drive somewhere else.

Before I hopped in my car nag vibrate ang phone ko.

gaga ka siguro no? nagtanong lang siya kinampihan mo pa ang iba.

Ba't ba galit sila. I did nothing wrong naman.

wala akong ginawa aika

wala nga pero she was jealous, least you could do was comfort her. not just tell her na selosa at clingy siya.

I locked my phone and sighed. What have I done. I closed the car door and shoved my keys in my pocket. I have to fix this.

----

I knocked twice on the door. "Tricia," no respond. "I'm sorry na, I was wrong"

"buti nalang na-taohan ka na"

"Can I come in and explain?"

"Nakakarinig naman ako ba't pa kita papasukin?"

"Mas magandang mag-usap face to face at heart to heart. Walang pintong nakababag"

The door unlocked and she let me in "pasok." I nod and did as told. We sat in our bed and looked at each other in silence. "Talk"

"Si Crystal yong kasama ko kanina. Possible investor ng business, something went wrong and we need a measurable amount to aid it. Crystal was a sure investor, kaya nilapitan namin siya. I assure you business lang lahat 'yon. Crystal has a boyfriend and I have a girlfriend. Maybe she found my jokes funny lang talaga" she sighed. "This, this is what I wanted. For you to explain to me why it happened, It's hard to be in a relationship - it's harder if hindi tayo nag-uusap ng maayos,"

"My behavior was wrong but so was yours, I'm your girlfriend diba? I get jealous too like you do sometimes. It's normal for both of us to be jealous, pero sana if I do get jealous you comfort me. I do with you naman diba?" she had tears in her eyes, running down her cheeks. I cupped her face, "I'm sorry langga, I should've thought about your side of the situation. It took me a message from ate Aika and you getting mad para ma realize ito. It shouldn't be like that, hindi naman palaging nandito si ate Aika and if galit ka sa'kin palagi hindi na healthy ang relationship natin" she smiled softly.

"Pinagalitan ka ni ate Aiks?"

"Medyo lang, sinermonan lang siguro" she laughed. "I texted her kasi"

"Hindi naman siguro obvious" she laughed at my joke, finally napatawa ko na siya. Wala ng away. "I'm sorry I got jealous" she looked down and played with her hands. "Hindi kasalanan ang pag-seselos Trish" I said. She chuckled, "I over reacted din pala noh?" she looked at me and started laughing. "Selosa at clingy nga"

"Overprotective din, atsaka malambing, baby na baby, loving, sweet at-"

"Marami ka nang sinasabi pwede kanang huminto, napatawad na kita"

We laughed. "Sorry laham"

"Sorry din langga" I pulled her softly so that we can settle sa bedrest ng kama. I pulled her closer to me putting my hand over her shoulder, her head on my chest. "I love you langga" I whispered. "Love you too laham"
