Chapter 16 (Confession Part 1)

Bago makipagkita si Rhian.kay Jayson ay nag insist muna si Glaiza na magkita muna sila. Dumaan si Rhian sa RK.

Glaiza give her a tight hug. "Are you okay?"

"God! No Love. I'm so afraid, very afraid. Hindi ko alam kung ano na ang mangyayari sa akin at sa career ko." mangiyak ngiyak niyang sagot. Hindi kasi lingid sa kanyang kaalaman na by this time ay nag-eespeculate na ang mga tao kung sino ang kaman ng blind item na iyun sa diyaryo. Baka before the day ends mabubunyag na kaya sobra ang takot niya.

"Handa ka ba sa mga maaring mangyari? You can deny me if you want. Okay lang sa akin huwag lang masira ang career mo." Glaiza prupose.

"No! I won't. I told you na ipaglalaban kita at nangako ako sa Mama mo na hindi kita iiwanan. Gusto kong panindigan kita... ipaglaban."

Glaiza hold her face. "Ngayon pa lang gusto ko na magthank you. No matter what, magkasama tayo sa laban n ito"

"Yes. Please don't give up dahi simula pa lang ito. I need to go. I need to talk to Jayson na. I need to tell him na before pa niya malaman sa iba."

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"Huwag na baka kung ano pa ang gawin sa 'yo ni Jayson."

"Paano kung ikaw ang masaktan niya?''

''I know he won't do that. Kilala ko siya. Hinding hindi dadapo ang kamay niya sa akin. Just wait for me here okay? I'll come back. Promise!"

"Okay. Hihintayin kita kahit ano man ang mangyari."

They separated with a kiss.

Kahit n nag-aalala si Glaiza pqra kay Rhian, wala na siyang magagawa ngayon kundi ang hintayin siya na bumalik. She knows in her heart na babalikan siya ni Rhian sa RK.

______________________

Naghihintay na si Jayson kay Rhian sa kanilang meeting place. Halos hindi matignan ni Rhian sa mata ang boyfriend.

"Hi!"

Bati nila sa isa't isa with a kiss in the cheek.

"How was your business trip? How are you?" tanong ni Rhian.

"It's fine." maiksing sagot ni Jayson.

Rhian felt something. Malamig ang pakikitungo ng nobyo. Dati rati kapag galing sa business trip ay makwento ito. What if alam na niya? Ang gumugulong tanong sa isip niya.

"Look.. I have to tell you something."

"Okay. I have to ask you something too." sagot naman ni Jayson.

"Sige mauna ka na."

"No, ladies first." pilit ni Jayson.

Hindi alam ni Rhian how to start. Kung paano niya sasabihin. She takes a deep breath.

"You know i loved you right?" tanong niya.

"Yeah. You LOVED me. What does that mean you loved me?"

Lalong kinabahan si Rhian. She felt na mali ang kanyang sinabi.

"I am seeing somebody." she blurted out.

"Okay. Are you happy?" tanong ni Jayson.

Yung inaasahan niyang reaction ni Jayson ay kabaliktaran. Lalo naman siyang nagtaka.

"Are you not mad? Pwede ka namang magalit sa akin. Kung gusto mo akong sampalin gawin mo."

"My question is, are you happy?"

"Yes. But don't think na hindi ako naging masaya sa piling mo. Believe it or not, i am happy with you, yun ng lang....." hindi maituloy ni Rhian ang sasabihin.

Jayson get something inside his jacket pocket. He hand it over to Rhian. Agad naman na ineksamen iyun. It was photos, fule of photos. Inisa isa niya iyun tinignan and she was shocked. It was her and Glaiza in various happenings na clingy at sweet sila sa isa't isa.

Rhian slowly look at Jayson. He looks mad now. His eyebrows curled and he looks at her madly.

"How can you do this?!" hinawakan siya ni Jayson sa magkabilang balikat. So tight na nasasaktan si Rhian.

"Jayson..."

"Bakit sa dinami dami pa, sa babae ka pa pumatol? Bakit?!" He shaked her that made Rhian winched.

"Jayson, nasasaktan ako." makaawa ni Rhian na bahagyang mangiyakngiyak na. Sa pagmamakaawa niyang iyun ay parang natauhan si Jayson. He let her go in an instant.

"FUCK!... Sorry." he said.

"I'm so sorry kung naglihim ako sa 'yo but believe me Jayson, i did loved you. Yeah! I do. Pero ganito na ako eh. I tried my best na baguhin ang sarili ko but when i saw her, my true preference never denied. It never stop even i wanted to. I tried but i failed. I'm so sorry. I really do." naluluhang paliwanag ni Rhian.

"Since when? Since when ka pa n ganyan?"

"I'm not specific about since when pero dati pa may ibangvfeelings na ako sa mga babar. Hindi ko gusto ito kaya umiwas ako. Ang alam ko mababago na ang lahat pero hindi pala." she told Jayson what he needs to know.

Jayson walk back and forth na parang nag-iisip kung ano ang gagawin. The anger in his face is still there.

"But why me? Alam mo ba kung ano ang idudulot nito sa akin at lalong lalo na sa 'yo? Paano ang carreer mo? Paano ang pamilya mo? Alam ba nila? Ano magiging reaction ng mga fans mo?" sunod sunod na tanong niya.

"Hindi ko alam. Ang alam ko lang ay tama ang ginagawa ko. Mahal ko siya eh." mahinang wika naman ni Rhian.

Mahabang katahimikan. It seems like Jayson is thinking at hindi rin makaimik si Rhian cause she's waiting for him, for what he will gonna do.

"Minahal kita. Mahal kita Rhi pero bakit ganiti?" Tears flowed ni Jayson's eyes. "I did my best to be perfect for you, to be worth it pero bakit ganito?"

She slowly go near him and try to touch him. She wants to make Jayson feel how sorry she is.

"Sorry Jayson. I can't continue our relationship anymore. Hope you understand and please believe me, please forgive me."

"Magpaganun pa man, bakit hindi ko magawang magalit ng todo sa 'yo? Gusto kong magalit pero ayaw nito." he pump his chest..

Lalong nakaramdam si Rhian ng awa sa lalaki. After all, he loved him noong hindi pa niya nakilala si Glaiza. Wala na siyang nagawa kundi ang yakapin na lang si Jayson to make him feel better.
