Bavina's POV
I let a deep sigh, kanina pa kami pareho na tahimik habang nasa daan kami pauwi. Buti na lang talaga at hinayaan kami ng Dad niya na umalis nang hindi ako iniinsulto.
It's not my intention to hurt him by telling that his Father don't like me for him, nakikita ko lang talaga na pareho lang kaming mahihirapan kung malaman pa ng Dad niya na magkasama pa rin kami.
Iniisip ko lang na ayokong maging pabigat sa kaniya. I also want to fight for our love but at the same time, ayokong dumagdag sa iniisip niya. Mahal ko siya pero hindi ko alam kung tama ba 'tong ginagawa namin dahil alam ko na sinusuway niya ang magulang niya para sa akin.
I fake my coughed to get his attention but he didn't give me a glance. He's just focusing on driving.
Pagdating namin sa harap ng bahay ay tumingin siya sa akin.
"Galit ka ba?" mahinang tanong ko.
He shook his head, "I just don't like what you've said earlier, Bina. I love you, okay? Walang mali sa ginagawa natin."
I just nodded at him, " Let me know once you arrived in your condo," ani ko.
I was about to go out when he held my wrist, napatingin ako sa kaniya. Dahan-dahan siyang lumapit sa akin, I felt his lips on my forehead, napangiti ako.
"Goodnight," mahinang sambit niya kaya tumango ako bago tuluyang lumabas ng sasakyan niya.
Natigilan ako nang makita ko si Ethan sa harap ng pintuan, he's standing there, looking at me.
"A-akala ko umalis ka na kanina," sambit ko sa kaniya.
He smirked as he shook his head, "I told you already, Bavina, you will never win his Father's trust."
Hindi ko pinansin ang sinabi niya, akmang lalagpasan ko na siya nang harangan niya ang pinto, sinilip ko ang loob, mukhang nasa kwarto na si Shia dahil nakapatay na ang TV.
Seryoso kong ibinalik ang tingin kay Ethan, "I'm tired, can you just leave?"
He chuckled, "Wow, my friend just treated me different after she became in a relationship," aniya na para bang nagulat siya. Natahimik ako sa sinabi niya.
"Now tell me, is he a good influence to you? Did he tell you to avoid your bestfriend?" tanong niya.
"It's getting late, you should go home, Ethan."
It's not that I'm treating him different. After telling me those earlier, he has a guts to talk to me now. I didn't change, he's the one who changed.
Akmang aalis na ako nang magsalita na naman siya.
"Nagbago ka dahil alam mong gusto kita o dahil pinagbawalan ka niya?"
Deretso akong tumingin sa kaniya, "Hindi ako nagbago, Ethan. I'm your bestfriend, you should know what words could make me hurt."
After saying that, dumaan ako sa gilid niya at sinara ang pinto nang hindi siya tinitignan. After I turned off the lights, dumiretso ako sa kwarto ko. I sighed before I lied to my bed.
*STARTS OF FLASHBACK*
Napatingin ako kay Ethan nang mapansin ang tingin niya sa akin. Lumipat siya sa tabi ko pero tahimik lang ako sa tabi niya. Nagpaalam si Paul kanina na lalabas muna kaya wala siya sa tabi ko.
"Are you sure you chose the right decision?" bulong nito sa akin, tinignan ko siyang muli.
"You know I can forgive you, Bavina. I can forget that you rejected me if you will change your mind," bulong nitong muli. Naramdaman ko ang kamay niya sa balikat ko kaya umayos ako ng upo kasabay ng pagtanggal ko ng kamay niya sa balikat ko.
