Chapter 10
Today was the last day of our final exam. We will just wait for the result and for our final grades. Finally! Magsenior na ako. Today was the last friday of march. Napagisipan namin nila Diane na gumala gala lang. Para maalis ang stress na dala ng finals. Kinakabahan parin ako sa results. Pano ba naman kasi may mga part na hindi ko pala nareview, sobrang nastress ako kaya hinulaan ko nalang. Sana naman maging maganda result.
Andito ako ngayon sa tapat ng building iniintay sila Diane na bumaba. Matagal na rin nung huling nakasama ko silang gumala. Palagi kasing si Kier kasama ko.
I felt my phone vibrating inside my pocket.
Love calling....
Oh my baby is calling. I answered it and heard the voice that I really missed.
"Hello love, how's your day?"
I miss him so much.
"Eto stressed na baka lumagapak ako sa results ng grades. Isipin mo naman kasi andami ko nireview pero onti lang dun lumabas." Nakasimangot na sambit ko sa kabilang linya.
"Haha, that's fine. I know you did your best. So that's enough okay? Don't overthink about it. Sure ako na mataas makukuha mong grades jan."
I really love it when he listens to my everyday rants and gave me some advices to cheer me up. He is the best. It's been almost a week since the last time I saw him. That's the day he gave me this promise ring. Napangiti ako ng maalala ko ang nangyari noong linggo.
"Thank you for believing in me." I said.
"No problem. You know that is the one of my job as your boyfriend." Oh god hanggang ngayon kinikilig parin ako pag naaalala kong boyfriend ko na siya.
"I believe in you. I know you always do your best." My heart suddenly melt when he said that. He always know the words to make me love him more huh? "Aalis kayo nila Diane ngayon diba? Take care okay? Hindi ko alam magagawa ko pag may nangyaring masama sayo."
"Hala, ano kaba? Lagi naman ako nagiingat noh?" Nakita kong paparating na sila Diane sa akin. "Got to go, love. Andito na sila Diane, aalis na po kami. Bye I love you. Talk to you later mwa!" Pagpapaalam ko sakanya.
He chuckled. "Alright, I love you more." He said and I cut the line.

Nagpunta kami sa Sm North para magikot ikot ng makalimutan ang stress. Napansin ko ang pagiging tahimik ni Mae.
"Oy Mae! Bat antahimik mo jan? Kanina pa kami daldal ng daldal dito ikaw jan may sariling mundo." Pagkompronta ko sakaniya.
"Wala naman." Matamlay na sambit ni Mae. Nakakita ako ng bakanteng upuan sa may park sa labas ng mall. Inaya ko sila na umupo para makapagpahinga din.
"Wala daw? Sabihin mo na. Para namang di tayo magkakaibigan dito." I looked in her eyes. Hindi talaga magaling magsinungaling mga mata nito e.
"Tell me, what is it that bugs you huh?" Sambit ko at rinig ang pagbuntong hininga niya.
"There's this guy that really annoys the hell out of me." She said.
Nagkatinginan kami ni Diane na parang alam na ang ibig sabihin nito. Who's this guy? Bakit kanina pa siya naiisip ng bestfriend ko?
"So who's this lucky guy?" Sambit ni Diane gamit ang mapang asar na tono.
"He is one of the altar server in the church in our place." Pagkekwento niya at sabay kaming napa ohhh ni Diane.
Si Mae kasi NBSB (no boyfriend since birth) madami naman siyang manliligaw pero di niya sinasagot. Maganda siya, actually mas maganda pa siya sa amin ni Diane. She's a year older than me and Diane. She said that she is scared of commitments and the idea getting hurt. Marami akong lalaking nireto sakaniya. Pero walang pumapasa. With her hazel brown eyes and hair. The morena skin. Her height and her sexy body. Nagiging center of attraction siya. Pero wala pa talaga siyang naging boyfriend. So this is the first time she talked about a guy.
"When I saw him, he is walking down the aisle with his arrogant look and when he saw me looking he smirked at me." Sambit niya gamit ang mukha na iritable.
"Pagkatapos ng misa, lumapit siya sa akin claiming that I like him. Just wtf, I don't fucking know him." Pagpapatuloy niya.
"He also bugs me asking for my name and my number. Hindi siya bagay na sakristan. Pakiramdam ko kampon siya ng kadiliman dahil sa kayabangan niya." Pagtatapos niya na nakapagpahalakhak sa amin ni Diane.
"What? You're asking and I told you. Tapos tatawanan niyo ko?" Sambit niya.
"It's just odd to us. Kasi madami ka nang nakilalang ganyan diba? Si Mike, Alex and I don't remember name it! Mga mayayabang din sila. Pero ngayon ka lang nagkaganyan. " sambit ko sakanya na nakapagpatigil sakanya.
"So... That Altar server, what does he looks like? Hot? Sexy? Charming? Makalaglag panty? Mysterio----" Pag- uusisa ni Diane na pinutol agad ni Mae.
"Stop it will you? Hindi siya pogi,hot, sexy kasi mukha siyang punyeta." Sambit niya na lalong nakapagpatawa sa amin.
We stopped laughing when she looked at us with a dark eyes.
"Tara na nga! Kain nalang tayo." Sambit ko para matigil na ang pang aasar sakanya. I just can't believe it. Our Mae is starting to like someone.
We entered a coffee shop since we already ate some shawarma.
I ordered us some milktea and I also had some cake.
We stayed in the coffee shop for a while dahil nga napagod kami kakalakad sa mall. We just had a ramdom conversation about the person we hate and rants about life and everything.
I excused myself and went to the comfort room to retouch my liptint.
When I go out I noticed this familiar back sitting near the shop entrance. I'm sure that was Kier. I was about to surprise him. But it was me who was surprised.
I saw a woman walking towards him holding a two cups of coffee. I saw her kissed Kier's cheek that made me feel those stabs in my heart. It feels like my world stops. I can feel some tears in my eyes when I saw the woman sat in front of him.
I quickly run towards the door and went out the coffee shop while my tears are flowing down in my cheeks.
Why? Bakit? Paano? Puta ang sakit. Hindi ko alam gagawin ko. Andaming pumapasok sa utak ko pero hindi ko alam kung paano ko sasabihin or iisipin. All I can see was the woman who kissed my boyfriend. Ang gago. Nagkulang ba ako? Ni hindi man lang niya sinabi na aalis pala siya. Lagi niya bang ginagawa yun? Puta anong laban ko dun sa babaeng yun? Ang ganda. Ang tangkad. Mukhang high end. Mukhang ka edad niya lang. E ako? I'm only sixteen. Pagod na ba siya sakin? Bat di niya nalang ako iniwan? Kesa naman lokohin niya ako ng ganito. Ayoko na. Ayoko ng ganitong sakit. Hindi ko kaya.
Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko at matapang na tinawagan siya.
"Hello." Sagot ni Kier sa kabilang linya.
Fuck. His voice made me cry more. Pero puta bat niya ginawa sa akin iyon?
"Asan ka?" Matapang na sambit ko nagpipigil na mahalata ang paghikbi ko.
"Why? Is there something wrong?"
"Ang sabi ko NASAAN KA?" matigas na sabi ko ngunit di ko parin napigilan ang paghikbi ko dahilan para marinig niya ito.
"I'm here at a coffee shop. Wait. Are you crying? Where are you? Pupuntahan kita. May nangyari ba?" Nag aalalang sambit niya. Gago di mo ako madadaan sa ganyan mo. Ikaw ang may kasalanan nito.
"Are you with someone?" Mahinang sambit ko.
"No, I'm alone." SINUNGALING! PANO MO NAGAWA SA AKIN TO KIER? MINAHAL NAMAN KITA DIBA? HINDI AKO NAGKULANG SAYO.
"I... WANT A BREAK UP. AYOKO NA. ITIGIL MO NA PANLOLOKO MO. MAGSAMA KAYO NG BABAE MO!" sambit ko at pinatay ko na ang linya pati na rin ang phone ko.
Napahagulgol nalang ako sa sakit na naramdaman ko. Napakadaming bakit at paano na naiipon sa utak ko. Hindi ba ko naging sapat sakanya? Bakit niya ako niloko?
Naramdaman ko na may yumakap sa akin. Paglingon ko nakita ko sila Diane at Mae na inaalo ako. Hindi sila nagtanong. Hinayaan lang nila akong umiyak ng umiyak hanggang sa mapagod.
Hinatid nila ako hanggang sa bahay. Pagkadating sa bahay ay nagkulong agad ako sa kwarto. Umiyak ako ng umiyak hanggang sa lamunin na ako ng antok.

Nagising ako sa katok galing sa pintuan ko.
"Sino yan?" Mahinang sambit ko.
"Open the door. Dito kami matutulog. Dadamayan ka namin." Rinig ko ang boses ni Diane sa labas ng kwarto ko.
I slowly opened the door and Diane pushed it so that they can go inside. She instantly closed and locked my door.
Mae hugged me that made me cry so bad. I really want this. I really want to be hugged.
"Shh. It's okay. May surprise kami sayo." Sambit niya habang hinihimas ako sa likod. Nagtaka akong tumingin sakanya at pinakita niya sa akin ang bag niya.
"That asshole is calling me and Diane. He's asking for you. He told us what happened. Hayaan mo na yun andito pa naman kami. Hindi ka namin sasaktan gaya ng ginawa niya." Sambit ni Mae sa akin.
Napansin ko si Diane na parang may inaayos sa study table ko. Pagtingin ko ay nakita ko siyang naglabas ng jack daniels, coke at chips.
There you go! She really knew what I need. I'm fucking thankful I have my friends beside me.
GOODBYE KIERVIN SISON!
TO BE CONTINUED.
