21

The cold Tagaytay air relaxed Laarni a bit. She stared as the dusk slowly enveloped the Batangas countryside below her. She had excused herself from the dinner table. To her surprise, everything was peaceful. Adrian and Miguel seemed to hit it off, and so did she and Katarzyna. But the discomfort was killing her.

Now alone, the ill feeling seemed to ebb with the air.

"Nawala ka." Miguel asked as he stepped out. Laarni smiled as he joined her on the patio.

"Maganda siya. Nililigawan mo ba?" Laarni asked as the discomfort returned. Miguel laughed.

"Kaibigan ko lang siya. May iba na kasing minamahal ang puso ko."

"Ows? Sino?" Laarni asked, though she felt she knew the answer.

"Ikaw." Miguel replied non-chalantly. Laarni paused and looked at him. She was expceting the shock to come but it never came. "Alam ko katangahan, pero ganun eh. I fell in love with my friend."

"Yung composition mo..."

"Oo, para sa iyo yon." Laarni nodded.

"Pero... si Adrian..." Miguel bowed his head, the tears were about to come.

"Alam ko. Part of loving is letting go. Alam kong mahal mo siya."

"Laarni!" Adrian called as he opened the door.

"I'm coming." she replied. Looking at miguel, "o sige. enjoy na lang kayo ni Kat."

As she stepped inside, a knot was forming on her throat.
