Perfect Harmony (COMPLETED)

Chapter 20: Ignoring Him

Chapter 20: Ignoring Him

Troy's POV

Anong nangyari? Why? Is she mad? What should I do? I was angry but seeing your bestfriend happy and falling for someone would make you happy.

I couldn't sleep well. Thinking about her. Is she okay?

I'm now heading to school. I wish she's fine. Then I saw her there. Sitting silently on her chair.

"Pig?"

"..."

"Trisha?" Parang nagtulala lang siya.

I waved my hand infront of her. What is she thinking? Is this about what I said?

"Oh. May sinabi ka ba?" Aniya.

Yep. She's absolutely not listening.

"I was asking if you're okay?"

"I'm fine." Then she tried to smile.

Confirmed. Wala siya sa sarili niya.

"You're not."

"I said I'm fine. See?" She said while shaking her body.

"You know that's not what I mean." I said seriously.

"Okay nga lang ako, yabang. 'Wag kang masyadong OA!"

And she's lying again. Did she really think I'm that stupid? Sh*t! What did I do?

May sasabihin pa sana ako but the bell rang. D*mn.

"Let's go?" I asked her. We're dismissed.

"Yep." Still wearing that fake smile, huh?

Naglalakad na kami papunta sa bahay nila.

"I know there's something bothering you, please tell me. I'm your bestfriend. I know you."

"Huh? Anong sinasabi mo?"

"Just tell m-"

"Okay nga lang ako." Trisha said nonchalantly.

A blue sports car stopped. And the window opened. Jake.

"Oy, Trish. Want a ride home?" He asked.

What the h*ll?! Is that a question? Kita na nga niyang naglalakad kami, tapos magtatanong siya ng ganyang tanong? Is he foolish or something?

"Yeah. I'd like to."

What? Why is she like this? Is Jake her boyfriend? Are they? She never mentioned it to me.

Well, of course Moron. How could she tell you? She's obviously mad at you.

Even my mind is speaking to me.

"How about you Troy?" Jake asked.

"Nope. I'm fine." I said assuring him.

I don't want him to pity me.

"Are you sure?"

"He said he's fine." Trisha said.

Then she get in and drove away. I was left there. Nakatunganga.

I can't believe this.

Trisha's POV

Lagi siyang nagtatanong sa akin. Can't he just leave me? I know I don't deserve to be his bestfriend. And I'm not really mad at him. Well, maybe a little. Dahil naalala ko yung lalakeng walang kwenta. But he is my bestfriend. Hindi ako ganun kasama na gaganyanin na lang ang bestfriend dahil lang tungkol do'n.

"Stay away from him."

"Bakit?"

"Hindi mo ba nakikita Trish? Hindi lang kaibigan ang turing niya sa'yo!"

"Anong ibig mong sabihin? Joke ba 'to? Alam mo namang kaibigan lang kami."

"At e dedeny mo pa? Ang landi mo Trisha! Di ako makapaniwala!"

"'Wag ka nga mag joke dyan! Di nakakataw-"

"Do you really think I'm joking?"

"Bakit?"

"Di mo ba nakikita? Akala ko ba matalino ka? Bakit di mo magets?"

"Wal-"

"Do you really want her to suffer? Do you really want Carla to suffer? Habang naglalandi ka kay Troy, si Carla, what do you think she'll feel? Matalino ka di ba? Gamitin mo ang utak mo! Bobo ka pala eh! B*llsh*t!"

And she left me.
(End of flashback)

Napag isip-isip ko ang sinabi niya. How could I be so stupid? Being friends with him is impossible. Lalo na pag bestfriends. Tama siya. Alam kong mahal na mahal ni Carla si Troy. Di ko gusto may makasira sa kanila.

Ang gulo. Una, naalala ko yung walang kwentang tao na yun. Ang hirap pala talaga niyang kalimutan. First crush ko siya. Pinaasa niya ako. Wala siyang kwenta. Ang tanga-tanga ko. Bakit ba ako nag-iisip ng mga ganun noon? At ngayon, si Troy. I promised to myself na si Troy ay para kay Carla lang. I keep promises. I want to make Carla happy. They deserve each other.

"Let's go?" Tanong ni yabang sa akin.

"Yep." I smiled. Yep. Alam ko ang hirap na magsmile. Pero gusto kong hindi mahalata eh. Di ko gusto maapektuhan siya.

Naglalakad na kami papunta sa bahay namin.

"I know there's something bothering you, please tell me. I'm your bestfriend. I know you." Tanong niya all of a sudden.

"Huh? Anong sinasabi mo?" Alam ko ang ibig niyang sabihin. Halata ba ako?

Kung alam mo lang yabang. Para sa'yo din tong ginagawa ko.

"Just tell m-" Alam kong gustong-gusto niyang malaman kung bakit. Pero baka sabihin lang niya na walang kwenta ang reason ko.

"Okay nga lang ako." I said nonchalantly.

May blue sports car na huminto. Bumukas ang binta. Si Jake. Ang gwapo talaga niya. Ang blue eyes niya. Ang ganda talaga.

"Oy, Trish. Want a ride home?" Tanong niya. Of course, crush mo ba naman?

"Yeah. I'd like to." Gusto ko nang lumayo sa kanya. Gusto ko ng kalimutan niya ako. Sila dapat eh. Bestfriend ako. Pero sabi niya nilalandi ko raw siya. Alam kong hindi totoo yun pero paano na si Carla? Ano na kaya ang iniisip niya? Di ko kayang hindi sila magkatuluyan.

"How about you Troy?" Jake asked.

"Nope. I'm fine." Buti nalang kung ganun.

"Are you sure?" Tanong ni Jake.

"He said he's fine." Kailangan niya akong kalimutan.

Sorry yabang. Sorry Troy. Sorry bestfriend. Sorry kung hindi mo alam kung bakit ako nagkakaganito. Alam kong nalilito ka na ngayon. Pero para to sa inyo. Sa iyo at para kay Carla. Para ka sa kanya. At para siya sa'yo. You deserve each other. And I won't let anyone get in your way.
