"What's wrong? May problema ba kayo ni Cadell?" tanong ni Kate.
Nandito kami sa kiddie playground upang ipasyal si Savannah. Si Jenkins at Kris ang kasama nya ngayon naglalaro habang nagpaiwan kaming tatlo sa table.
"Wrong with?" I asked.
"You, kanina ko pa napansin hindi kayo nag uusap. What happened?"
I remembered the night before when she caught me kissing Kcee. I can't explain why I let a woman I'd never met kiss me.
Everything is very familiar to her, including her voice, which sounds exactly like Kris', her touch, which made me feel the electricity in my body, and her soft lips, which almost drowned me. Even her eyes, the way she looked at me, were filled with longing. I'm going insane and have no idea what's going on.
"I cheated on her." I can't deny it, totoo. I love her so much pero nagawa kong makipaghalikan sa iba at ngayong sobrang nakakapagpabagabag sa kalooban ko.
"You–what?!"
"I know it was a mistake but–it's so hard to explain, kahit ako hindi ko namalayan ang sarili. My god," I said and ran my hand through my hair.
"And she saw you?" I nodded.
"Kcee kissed me." I mumbled.
"You mean, Kcee Arnault? Are you crazy, Thalia? paano mo nagawa 'yon in front of Cadell?" kahit tanungin ako hindi ko masasagot dahil katawan ko na mismo ang may gawa.
Olivia, who was quiet and seemed to be deep in thought, caught my attention. Since after ng dinner namin napansin ko napapadalas ang pagiging tahimik nya.
"It's my fault, I'll talk to Kris later." muli bumalik kay Olivia ang atensyon ko. "Olivia, do you have a problem? Ano ba iniisip mo?" tanong ko.
"Cadell." My eyebrows furrowed, I don't get it.
"What about Cadell?" tanong ni Kate.
"I miss her so much." she said with a blank expression and tried to smile.
"Why not call her? Ayun lang sila." sabi ko at tinuro ang tatlong nasa swing.
She didn't bother to look at them. "Mhm" umiling nalang ako, hindi ko alam ang takbo ng isipan nya.
Iniwan ko ang dalawa upang lapitan si Kris, gusto ko kausapin tungkol sa nangyari. Hindi ako makapaniwala pagkatapos ng mahabang panahon namin na pagsasama, I'd be this way because of someone I don't even know.
"Babe." agad nya akong nilingon, binigyan ko sya ng ngiti bago tuluyang makalapit.
"Can we talk?" Sh looked directly into my eyes before nodding.
"Okay."
Nagpaalam kami sa kanila at sinabing bibili ng mga pagkain. Hawak kamay kaming naglalakad nang may nakita akong nagbebenta ng paborito nyang pagkain.
"Babe, wait." I said and immediately pulled her to the waffle store.
I bought four since she really loves it, especially when it's wrapped in chocolate. "Here, tatlo sayo." inabot ko sa kanya ang box na hawak.
"Thanks."
Hinila ko sya sa bench habang inuubos ang aming pagkain. Hindi ko na kakayanin kung hindi agad kami nagkaayos.
"Babe, about what you saw–"
"Naiintindihan ko, lasing si Kcee at nakainom ka rin. May kasalanan din ako kaya hindi kita masisisi, pero sana yun na ang huli. Sana hindi na maulit dahil sa oras na mangyari ulit yun ay masasaktan ako ng lubusan." I nodded while biting my lower lip. Look at how well she understood me. I really messed up that night. I won't let that happen again because I don't want to hurt her.
