I was at the comfort of my room when one of our maids told me that my best friend Gilbert is downstairs. Hindi ako nagmamadali na bumaba knowing that he can wait. The minute I saw him sitting at one of the cushions in the living room looking a bit bothered, ay medyo na-alarma ako. I seldom see Gilbert having this expression kaya kapag ganito ang itsura niya ay tiyak na may malaking problema siya or there is something that is terribly bothering him.
“Anong atin, Gilbert?” I sat in one seat and leaned back comfortably.
“Kamusta Pare? Kamusta ang buhay-buhay?”
“The usual. Why ask?”
“How are you and Jillian doing lately?” biglang napa-arko ang kilay ko. The last time na napag-usapan namin ang girlfriend ko was when I got humiliated on my birthday, when he went here. That was the last.
