Your Song

Chapter 40

KAYLE

The three of us are now in the rooftop.

Me. Cal. Logan.

It's been a day. At alam kong kailangan na nilang mag-usap. Ayokong dumating sa puntong masisira na talaga ang pagkakaibigan nila.

"Bro," panimula ni Cal.

Nakaupo lang ako sa tabi ng railing, nakatalikod sa kanila habang nakikinig sa pag-uusap nila.

"I know what your reason is," Logan said. "Wade told me."

Sinabi ko kasi kay Cielo. Malamang sinabi rin nun kay Wade.

"My apologies," sabi ni Cal.

Hindi ko sila nakikita pero alam kong magkaharap silang dalawa ngayon. Ayoko na sanang sumama pero alam kong kailangan, ako ang rason ng lahat ng ito.

"Sorry rin."

Nagulat ako sa sinabi ni Logan.

I was expecting a fist fight, honestly.

Napalingon ako sa kanila at nakitang nag-fist bump ang dalawa.

"I know, right from the start, that me feelings were wrong," sabi ni Logan. "I should've told Kayle earlier, and now it's too late."

"I'm sorry," I said. "I didn't know."

"Nah," umiling siya. "Even if you knew, you'd still end up with Cal."

"Sorry bro," sabi ni Cal.

Logan chuckled. "It's okay. You're my friend, bro. Hindi kita dapat tinalo."

Cal nod. "Sup for a hug?" he laughed and spread his arms.

Logan laughed too and stole a hug.

"Eew," sabi ko.

Bigla naman pinatong ni Cal ang braso niya sa balikat ni Logan at binatukan ito.

"Ouch!"

Cal laughed which made me laugh too. Para lang silang mga bata.

Tiningnan naman ng seryoso ni Logan si Cal. "Just promise me bro, you won't let Kayle get hurt."

"I promise," Cal answered and smiled.

Tumingin si Logan kay Cal at nagsalita, "Because if you do, I won't have second thoughts on getting her away from you." He sounded serious, but he smiled as if he was only teasing Cal.

Cal smirked and playfully punched Logan's arm. "You won't, ever."

I sighed as I looked at them.

Buti na lang at maayos na sila.

The day went pretty well.

Nagkasama na rin kaming anim, pagkatapos ng ilang araw. Masyado na kaming naging busy.

As a treat, napagdesisyunan ng apat na kumain kami sa labas.

Pumunta kami sa isang restau at nag-dinner ng sabay.

Puro kwentuhan at tawanan, isama na ang asaran kina Wade at Cielo.

"What do we know, Ciel," panimula ko. "The first time we met Wade, puro nakaw-tingin ka lang. Look at the two of you now," sabi ko.

Namula naman siya.

"Sis naman."

I laughed and felt Cal's arms around me. "Eh totoo naman."

Wade chuckled. "I heard that story too."
