5. You

Symphony

I escaped from home and went to Wayne's condo. Of course, he isn't there. Malamang pumasok 'yon ng klase. Kung ano-ano na ang naging posisyon ng pag-upo ko sa couch habang naghihintay sa kanya. In the end, nadatnan ako ni Wayne na nakaupo ng patiwarik, nasa floor carpet ang ulo habang nasa couch ang buong katawan.

"Sephy? Are you okay?"

"I'm so bored."I replied. Umayos ako ng upo at sinalubong ang tingin niya. "Ang tagal mo."

"Hindi mo naman kasi sinabing nandito ka."

"I was thinking..."I said while I followed him walking towards his bedroom. "Kung lumayas na kaya ako?"

Napatigil si Wayne sa paghuhubad ng polo niya at binalingan ako. He even threw me an angry look.

"Why? It was just an idea. I'm not running away."pagbawi ko kaagad.

"Good. Masisinturon kita kapag sinubukan mo."pananakot pa niya.

"What are you now? My dad?"I muttered, rolling my eyeballs.

"Don't do it, Sephy. I'm serious."he iterated his point as he continued unbuttoning his polo to change.

Halos lahat na yata kay Wayne, nakita ko na e. Siyempre maliban do'n sa ano niya. We're very close. We don't hide anything from each other. Kaya naman, walang problema sa'ming dalawa ang maghubad o magbihis sa harap ng isa't isa. He's like a mom, a dad and brother type of bestfriend to me.

"Wayne, what do you think of..."

"Of?"he asked when I didn't finish my question.

"Nevermind."

"Hey!"he shouted to threaten me.

"I was just... trying to ask your opinion about Ajax."napilitang pag-amin ko.

"Wait. What does this mean? Did he confess to you—"

"Eww! No."

"You're exaggerated. Nagtatanong lang naman ako. Isa pa, ba't mo naman tinatanong sa'kin ang tungkol sa kanya? Are you now falling for him?"sunod-sunod na tanong niya.

"Eww. You're giving me goosebumps!"

"Ang OA mo magreact ngayon a. Ang defensive mo masyado."

"Hoy Timothy Wayne dela Vega, hindi ko kailanman magugustuhan ang unggoy na 'yon ano?"

"Fine. If you say so."

"Ugh. Hindi ka naman naniniwala sa'kin e!"

"Tell me, why are you asking me about him anyway?"

"I... I just..."

"Why are you even stammering?"panunudyo niyang lalo.

"I'm not. I was just thinking over the past days to stop hating him just because I hate his mom."

"Oh. I'm proud. What made you realize that?"

"It was just a thought. I realized today that even if he's not Gori's son, I'd still hate him."

"Are you sure you aren't keeping anything from me, Sephy?"he asked making me confused.

"What do you mean?"I asked back as I followed him to the kitchen. "Hey, what do you mean?"pag-uulit ko nang matantong mukhang wala siyang balak na sagutin ang tanong ko.

"I've seen you with him years ago before you transferred to a different school. I was actually just waiting for you to open up anything about him."
