College Daddy

UPDATE 22 - Peace Offering

Jake's Pov

It's already 10 pm at hindi parin ako makatulog. Binabagabag talaga ako nang konsensya ko. Parang may sariling remote ang utak ko na laging pini-play back ang nangyari kanina. I should've been happy right now because I know I hurt her feelings, pero bakit ganito ? Ni-katiting na saya wala akong maramdaman. Instead, I felt guilty and sorry.

*Arrrrggghhhh! Mababaliw na yata ako nito*.

"I guess I'm needing help" I sigh.

I'm thinking kung sino sa tatlo ang tatawagan ko. Just mere thinking of Seph's face parang wala na akong makukuhang seryosong sagot and Troy ? I know na may problema din sa love life ang lalaking yon. I guess Bry is my only hope huh ? Inipon ko muna ang lakas nang loob ko bago edinial ang number ni Bry. This will definitely our first time, having a conversation like this. Bahala na nga.

"What the hell gotten into you that made a sudden phone call in the middle of the night ? Sht meeen, I was about to close my eyes and have my good night sleep.
Just make sure Jake, that this is an important matter or else I'm gonna BURN DOWN your condo and I'll f*cking kill you" Inis na sabi niya. Mukhang na disturbo ko yata talaga.

"Ah-ahmm .. A-ano.. Ah-hmm.. K-kasi--"

"That's it ? You woke me up just to hear your annoying stammer ? Gusto mo ba talagang masaktan?" Bryan said angrily. Ramdam na ramdam ko sa kabilang linya ang poot na nararamdaman niya. Bago pa man masira ang pagkakaibigan namin ay tinipon ko na ang lahat nang lakas ng loob na meron ako.

"Aheerm.. Ahm Do you have any idea kung paano humingi ng sorry without actually ahmm saying sorry? Aish!". Magulo kong tanong.

"Are you really making fun of me ? I'm mad serious right now Lopez" he said on a serious tone. He's really not joking.

"Look Bry, I'm hella serious man. I knew you since our childhood, alam ko kung gaano ka kasensitive when it comes sa pagtulog mo. The last joke that I could've done to you is to disturb and make fun of your sleep " I honestly answered. I heard no response for a second, then he sigh on the other line. Now he is calm.

"I think the most easy way to solve your problem is just say it to the person." He said casually as if nothing happens.

"Do you think I will seek an advice if I can able to do it ? Of course not." I answered.

"Hmm well, It depends is it a guy or a gal?" He said.

"Ahmm.. Let's put it as a girl." I answered carefully. Kailangan kong mag-ingat sa isasagot ko sa kaniya. This man is very much observant baka mahalata pa ako.

"Gave her a stuff toy and put a letter on it." He answered boredly.

"Dang it! Why I haven't think of that idea. " Sagot ko.

"How will I give it to her without her noticing that it's mine?" Patuloy ko sa pagtatanong.

"Are you really that dumb ? Why don't you try to use your head sometimes? Psssh.. Put it in her locker, ipadeliver mo, pay somebody to send it to her.." inaantok na sagot niya.
Isinantabi ko nalang ang pang-iinsulto niya sa akin, dahil may point din naman ang mga suggestions niya.

Parang gumaan na nang konti ang pakiramdam ko dahil atleast may idea na ako para malinis ang konsensya ko. It'll give me a hard time if I just do nothing after the incident. Let me also clear that I may be wanted to apologize to her, it doesn't change the fact that I still hate her.

"Hey, who's this "lucky" girl? That the great stone hearted Tim Jake Lopez asked for her forgiveness ?" He teasingly asked me. I may not be able to see his face but ramdam ko ang mga nakakaloko niyang ngiti.
