In Your Eyes

Chapter 32 - Part 2

"DEN!"

They saw who the person was but no one even dared to speak up, Alyssa kept her distance from Den who gives her an apologetic face.

Alyssa quickly composed herself, "Ella." She could see how surprised Ella was, "Sana wag ka mag-isip... Wala yun." Alyssa said and avoids looking at Den.

Ella's face turned from surprised to disappointment, she got disppointed because of how Den acted towards Alyssa. Tingin niya mas lalo lang gugulo ang lahat dahil sa paghalik nito, hindi nalang siya nagsalita tapos lumapit kay Den at hinatak ito. Sumenyas naman siya kay Alyssa na wag susunod at umalis silang dalawa and left Alyssa standing under the tree.

"What was that kiss for?!" Alyssa angrily asked herself, she sits on the wood and holds her lips. The feeling of Den's lips was still there, Den just stole her first kiss and wants to know what was it for. 'Di kaya ayaw niya akong pakawalan? She thought out of confusion.

Ella drags Den until they reached the spot where all of them jammed earlier, the other girls are busy playing with the Kite they brought. Ella forces Den to sit down next to her and shows how disappointed she was.

"Look, if you're going to let me sit down just do it kindly!" Den angrily said without looking at Ella.

"At ikaw pa ang may ganang magalit?" Ella returns with a question, the latter became mum. Ella heaved a sigh and asks her again, "Anong kalokohan yun?"

Den did not answer.

"Den! Nanghalik ka ng babae kahit may Boyfriend ka! A-"

"Hindi ko alam! Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko ginawa yun!" Den silently shouts at Ella, she covers her face in shame.

Ella puts Den's hand away from her face and holds it tight, "Tell me the truth."

"Shit! Oo na! I'm jealous, okay?!" Den shouts and removes her hand, her face turns red and she starts crying again.

Instead of getting mad at Den, Ella gave her a very tight hug. Paano si Jeric? She thought while hugging Den. Kahit papano may awa siya kay Jeric, he's a good Boyfriend to Den at sobrang maintindihing tao pa siya. Ella's getting scared on Jeric's reaction once he finds out, he doesn't know anything even about the day when Den, Aly and Bang where he goes out of the Dugout.

"Umamin din, iiwanan mo Boyfriend mo?" Ella asked.

"Kung pwede lang... Kaso ayaw ni Ly, sabi niya baka niloloko ko lang sarili ko. Baliw na nga ako eh!" She answered but Ella does not seem to like her response.

"Talagang iiwanan mo? Baliw ka nga talaga, ang bait bait ni Jeric. At nasa phase of moving on na si Ly." Ella said and looks at her red face due to crying.

"Kaya ko siya hinalikan kasi ayoko." Den reveals pero nakaramdam siya ng pagsisisi, tingin niya kissing Alyssa won't change her decision lalo na nung tinulak siya palayo, alam niya sa kilos palang nun ay wala ng mababago.

"Ayaw mong bumitaw sayo si Ly. Okay, gusto mo pahirapan mo parin siya? Pagod na nga yung tao... Alam mo, mag-isip ka sa mga gagawin mo." Ella said, hindi naman sa ayaw niya kay Den. Ayaw lang niyang nakikita si Alyssa na masaktan dahil lang sa kanya.

"Wala na sa tama ang isip ko, hirap na ako Ella."

Ella shooks her head, "Ganyan kasakit ang feelings ni Ly noon, mahirap nga talaga." She said and Den raises up to sit.

"Ano ba dapat kong gawin?" Den asked, she knows its stupid asking someone that question, inisip naman niya na makakatulong si Ella dito dahil siya naging takbuhan ni Ly.
