Chapter 44: Two of Us.

The moment I embrace my confused grandmother a hug, tears start to flow heartbreakingly. Nagtatakang napatingin sa akin ang mga kaibigan ko. They all went out to the van just to see me, crying and fragile.

Nitong mga nakaraang araw, nagiging mababaw ang dahilan ng pag - iyak ko. I always cried for my failed love. I always grief when infact I shouldn't.

Suminghap ako nang hindi bumibitiw sa pagkakayakap kay Lola.

"Apo..." Concern is all over her voice. "Anong nangyari? Nagkita ba kayo ni Dylan?"

Tumango ako. Walang salitang lumabas pero maraming emosyon ang mababakas.

"Ano... Anong nangyari?" Pinaharap ako ni Lola Soleng.

Mariin akong pumikit at umiling. "I... We shouldn't be here, Lola. It's a wrong choice---"

"Since when coming after me is a wrong choice, Keely?" A voice stopped me midway to my sentence.

To my shocked, I immediately wipe my tears away. Nakita ko ang gulat sa mga mata nina Bruce, Jane at Leigh. Bumuntong hininga si Lola Soleng.

"Dylan." Ani Lola Soleng.

Humarap ako sa lalaking palaging naging dahilan ng aking pagiging luhaan ko. Bumakas saglit ang gulat sa aking mga mata. May nakasunod kay Dylan na mga bodyguards at staffs na walang ka - ideya - ideya sa mga nangyayari. Maging ang manager ni Dylan na si Lenard ay narito rin.

Masuri niya akong tinitignan.The old man had a confused yet good looking look. Lenard's scissor fade haircut reminds me of my late foster father, Paolo Flores.

Napatingin si Dylan sa kanila at may sinenyas.

Nalaglag ang panga ni Manager Lenard. "Pero, Dylan---"

"The concert is almost done, Lenard. I have something important to do. Please..."

Muling napatingin sa akin si Lenard. He give me a half smile. I frozed. Even his smile feels so nostalgic. May sinabi siya sa mga bodyguards at staffs bago sila tuluyang umalis.

"Lenard," Dylan called.

Tumango si Lenard kay Dylan. The mid - thirties handsome man then throws a key to Dylan. Isa muling sulyap sa akin bago siya tuluyang nawala sa paningin ko.

Nagkatinginan sina Jane at Leigh habang agad na pumunta si Bruce sa direksyon ko. He eyed Dylan darkly. His aura is very different from the Bruce I've known. His brown eyes was pitch midnight surrounded by angered and frustration.

"What did you do this time, Del Vega?" Bruce bone chilling voice scares us.

Dylan looked at him flatly and bored. "Wala akong ginagawa." He respond. Tumingin siya sa akin. "Let's talk." His jaw clenched.

Tumawa si Bruce. A manly laugh disguise in the body a homosexual man. "You think I would buy your reason?" His sarcastic remarked. "Ikaw! Ikaw ang punot at dulo ng lahat ng ito! Your family was all the reason of Tita Kasandra's misery. Tapos ano? Hindi ka pa nakuntento at balak mo pang paikutin si Keely sa mga kasinungalian mo?"

"Bruce..." Saway nina Jane at Leigh.

Namamanghang napatingin ako kay Bruce. Darn. I shouldn't underestimated Bruce's emotions. Parang sa oras na ito, tuluyan nang nasagad ang pasenya niya. It was like he would finally burst out all the pain I felt these past months. That's why I am partly lucky because I had a friend like him. But somehow, unfortunate.
