V - Who's Telling The Truth?

                                    

                                          
Tanya's POV
                          
"What?! Tanya, why did you do that?" Shock covered Jorgina's face when I told her what I did to Juliana. We're here at my room. Tinawagan ko agad si Jorgina when I got home para papuntahin siya dito. 
                          
"She deserves that, Jorgina!" I reasoned out. "She's one hell of a flirt na nasa loob ang kulo." I have to admit na kinakabahan ako. Though, I threatened Juliana, Keith might still find out what I did to her.
                          
But it's true, anyway. Ang landi ng Juliana na 'yon! She meddled between Keith and me! 
                          
"Pero, Tanya that's wrong. Juliana did not do anything to you. Ikaw pa nga 'yung pumunta sa kanya just to confront her about the things na hindi niya naman ginawa." Jorgina looks frustrated while she's lecturing me.
                          
"Anong wala? Nilandi niya si Keith! And why are you even defending her?" Naiiritang sabi ko sa kanya.
                          
"'Yan! That's what I'm talking about! You keep on accusing her na nilandi niya si Keith." Sabi nya. "What if it's the other way around? I'm sure Keith's the one who approached her first!" 
                          
"But what if I'm right, Jorgina?" I said. I don't want to think na ako ang nagkamali kasi ako naman talaga 'yung nasaktan dito. Keith should've been my boyfriend!
                          
She sighed exasperatedly. "Sige, paano na lang kung magsabi siya kay Keith about what you did?"
                          
I was about to reason out again when we suddenly heard a knock on my door.
                          
"Ma'am Tanya?" Yaya called me from the outside.
                          
"What is it?" I asked her.
                          
"Nandito po si Sir Keith. Nag-aantay pos a living room." Pareho kaming nagulat ni Jorgina with what we heard kaya nagkatinginan kami.
                          
Sanay naman ako na bigla talagang pumupunta si Keith dito pero iba ang pakiramdam ko ngayon. Naiisip ko kasi yung sinabi ni Jorgina.
                          
Inayos ko na lang ang sarili ko bago sumagot. "Okay, yaya. Tell him I'll be there in a few minutes."
                          
I turned to Jorgina. "Samahan mo ako ah?"
                          
She nodded then we went downstairs.
                          
God! Nag-sumbong nga kaya si Juliana?

Keith's POV
                          
"Good Evening po, Sir Keith. Napadaan po kayo?" One of Tanya's maids greeted me when I got out of my car pagkatapos kong mag-park.
                          
"Nandyan na po ba si Tanya?" Hindi ko na napansin ang pagbati ni Yaya dahil kanina pa talaga ako nag-iisip. 
                          
"Ah, opo. Tara pasok po muna kayo." She opened the door for me saka ako pumasok.
                          
I waited for Tanya silently in their living room. I'm still thinking about what Juliana told me. Until now, I still can't believe it. Can Tanya really do that? I don't even remember na may ginawa sa kanya si Juliana. Hindi ko rin naman na pinilit si Juliana na mag-kwento because she looks really drained a while ago.
                          
I know Tanya loves me, kahit paano naman ramdam ko na 'yon even before she confessed to me but I just can't believe na aabot sa ganito. Na kaya niyang manakit ng iba just because of me. 
                          
Maya-maya ay nakita ko na si Tanya at Jorgina na pababa sa hagdan. Tanya walked towards me immediately.
                          
"Hey, Keith. Why are you her—" I grabbed her arm and that cut her off.
                          
"Why did you do that?" I asked through gritted teeth
                          
When I saw her, it's like Juliana's image a while ago suddenly came back to me. I suddenly remembered her tear-stained and swollen face.
                          
"Did what, Keith?" I noticed na kinakabahan siya dahil sa tono ng boses ko.
                          
"Stop trying to pretend na parang hindi mo alam ang sinasabi ko, Tanya. Why did you do that to my girlfriend?" Ayokong magalit kay Tanya but I just can't help it. Hindi ko pwedeng palagpasin lang ang ginawa niya kay Juliana. 
                          
"Keith, what are you saying? I did not do anything. Ano bang nangyari kay Juliana?" She said and gave me a puzzled look.
                          
There's a part of me na gustong maniwala sa kanya but I also know that Juliana won't lie to me about these matters.
                          
"Tanya, please. Just tell me the truth! I know that you hurt Juliana! Why did you do that?!" Hindi ko na napagilan ang pag-sigaw dahil sa frustration ko sa kanya.
                          
She wasn't able to answer right away. We remained silent while staring at each other. Then a tear suddenly fell from her eye.
                          
"You really think I can do that t-to her? You really think I can hurt people na alam ko namang special sa'yo, Keith?" She started to sob nang tinanong niya ako. "Keith naman, we've known each other since we were young but just because what Juliana said, nagbago agad ang tingin mo sa akin?"
                          
Tanya's right. We've known each other for years so why would I think na magagawa niya 'yon? But I'm sure that Juliana won't lie to me. Ugh! Fuck this!
                          
"I'm sorry." That was all I could say to her. I suddenly felt guilty. I let go of her arm saka ako lumabas ng diretso sa bahay nila. 
                          
Gusto ko munang mapag-isa ngayon para makapag-isip.
                          
Who really is telling the truth?
