Kahit Kailan

Chapter 16 Rumors

Showbiz news, top trend: Kathryn Bernardo.

"Dj..." Kath tried to call his name as she rose to sit on his bed covering her nakedness with the sheets on his bed.

Lumabas si Daniel mula sa kwarto niya at sinara ang pinto pag labas niya.

Napasandal na lamang siya sa nakasaradong pintuan at tumingala sa kisame niya. He swallowed a lump on his throat from the heartache that he has. "Why can't you stay?"

He took his steps towards his fridge and rummaged for a bottle of beer that he might have. He badly needs a drink. Something cold to apply to the burning pain his chest has.

He got lucky to find one. Binuksan niya ito gamit ang bibig at agad na tinungga ng hindi binababa hanggang sa makalahati.

Mauubos na niya ito pero parang kulang pa.

"Umiinom ka?" Daniel felt small arms surround his waist from his back. He felt the beating of his heart sped up as she locked her hands around him.

"Isang bote lang." pampamanhid gusto niyang dugtungan. Daniel slightly turned around to look at her. She's already dressed but her hair was a complete mess.

Binaba niya ang bote ng beer na ubos na ang laman sa may counter at tuluyang humarap kay Kathryn. He tucked her hair behind her ears and gently pushed aside the ones on her face.

"Hatid na kita." he said with sadness.

Daniel can't help but to have a soft spot for Kathryn. Gustong gusto niya itong lambingin. He wished na sana siya lang ang naglalambing sa kanya, hindi niya maiwasan na magselos kung sino pa ang nahahawakan siya ng tulad sa ginagawa niya.

Tinititigan niya ng mabuti si Kathryn. He looks through her eyes the words that he wanted for her to say.

"Dj, I want to stay but...there's something that you should know. May naghihintay kasi sa akin sa bahay...si Joa--"

"Kath. Stop." pinutol siya nito. Pinikit niya ang kanyang mata para hindi makita si Kath habang nagsasalita.

Dinikit niya ang noo niya sa noo ni Kathryn "Ayokong malaman ang kahit ano. Kung sino ang naghihintay sayo, kung bakit hindi ka pwedeng mag stay dito. Ayoko. Don't tell me, until I ask." pakiusap niya.

"Dj...hindi ganun. You have to know." she insisted. He let go of Kathryn and slowly walked to the door ignoring what she was saying.

"Dj...makining ka naman o." she followed him "Akala ko ba maguusap tayo?"

Tumigil si Daniel sa harap ng pintuan "I think nakuha ko naman ang sagot na gusto ko after what happened earlier between us..." sabi nito.
"Di ba Kath?"

"Hindi tungkol don, yung nangyari kanina..." she trailed.

"Ginusto ko yun. How about you? Ginusto mo ba yun?" muli itong humarap sa kanya.

"Oo. Ginusto ko din yun." sagot niya agad. May idudugtong pa sana si Kathryn agad na naman nagsalita si Daniel.

"Good." he smiled a little before he continued "...at gugustuhin kong ulitin yon. Paulit ulit Kath. I want to be with you sa kahit anong paraan. I will endure Kath. Kakayanin ko. Kaya kung ano man ang sasabihin mo sa akin, wala na akong pakialam." he says with out most finality.

"Let me take you home. Mag three hours ka ng late, baka may nagaalala na sayo." sabi ni Daniel na may pait sa timpla ng kanyang salita.

Kathryn wanted badly to talk to him. Gusto na niyang magpaliwanag dito tungkol sa mga nagawa niyang desisyon noon at higit sa lahat gusto na niyang sabihin sa kanya ang tungkol sa anak nila. But Daniel refuses to listen and even said that he doesn't care anymore. How could she confess everything now without blowing everything up? Maayos na sana kanina eh, naguusap na sila ng hindi ito nakasimangot sa kanya until she said that she needed to come home.
