Chasing Stars (Chasing #2) - Completed

CS 12

Wrrien's POV

"Come again?" I asked while glaring at him. Hindi ko alam kung nagkamali lang ba ako ng rinig kasi isang malaking kalokohan yun if he's telling the truth. Or? I'm not expecting anything lalo na ang posibilidad na totoo nga yun. Hindi pwede.

"I like you."

"Oh putang-ina sir. Is this a kind of prank?Nagba-vlog ka ba? You better stop now kasi mag-"

"Re-resign ka? Alam ko naman eh. I really don't want you to but go ahead. Atleast, I already to tell you what I felt." he cut me off.

I totally lost my words and can't even looked at him straightly. What was that?

"Kung tatanungin mo ako kung bakit? Wala akong maisasagot sayo because I just fucking feel it. Masisisi mo ba ako?" he said.

Umatras ako ng ilang hakbang bago pinakiramdaman ang mga susunod niyang galaw. I really can't understand what's happening right now.

"Rei.."

"Teka nga. Magkalinawan nga tayo. Anong kalokohan to? Kasi...hindi na nakakatuwa." reklamo ko. Kanina pa akong kinikilabutan dahil sa mga sinasabi niya. And living in this reality? It's really impossible.

"May sinabi ba akong nagbibiro ako? Hindi Rei. Seryoso ako and I've never been so serious in my whole life except now." he replied calmly.

I nodded. But it doesn't mean that...

"Kung seryoso ka talaga diyan sa mga pinagsasasabi mo? Then I won't resign but stay away from me. Stop whatever you felt right now. Let's work professionally. Let's forget all about this and do whatever we want. If you can't do that then I'm sorry but you better search for your new PA. That's all." mahabang litaniya ko bago dahan dahang tumalikod sa kanya at naglakad palayo.

"So you're rejecting me? Wala na ba akong magagawa para atleast, I can pursue you?" he asked dahilan para mapalingon ulit ako sa gawi niya.

"If that's what you're thinking then yes. I don't have any feelings for you kahit na artista ka pa. At kahit bali-baliktarin natin ang mundo? Hindi tayo pwede. Kung alam ko lang na ganito pala ang mangyayari? Hindi na sana kita kinausap at pinangaralan pa. You better like someone else and if you want to fire me because of saying these to you then do it. Ako ang buena mano mo." mahabang litaniya ko bago mabilis na lumakad papalayo sa kanya.

I go out from the scene holding my chest dahil kaba at gulat. I never imagine that Kristoff Danrev Zercata tell those words to me. I don't want to assume and make myself believe that it's just nothing.

Pero I hope na paggising ko bukas? Wala na din lahat ng pinag-usapan namin ngayon. Na sana naman na-overwhelm lang siya dahil sa mga pinagsasabi ko last week. Na baka naghanap lang siya ng dahilan or baka sinabi niya lang yun for a reason.

"Rei!" napalingon ako sa kanan ko ng may tumawag sa pangalan ko. It's Anya and Xander so I immediately go towards them at kung nagdi-date man sila? Kailangan ko munang abalahin kasi hindi talaga maganda ang mga nangyayari kapag mag-isa lang ako.

"Hi!" bati ko while making myself calm.

"San punta mo?" she asked.

"Dining hall. Magdi-dinner, kayo ba?" I asked them back.

"Dun din kami. Kakatapos lang naming maglakad-lakad, sabay-sabay na tayo." singit naman ni Xander kaya naman tumango na lang ako. Saglit lang akong lumingon to find out if he's still on the frame and he's really there.
