Love in Quarantine

Part# 2

Tala's POV

 

They ask me if ok lang ako, tinigil ko na ang pag iyak ko at ginawang ngumiti kahit mahirap. It's so hard to pretend then I remembered that "babygirl" endearment, it really hurts, ang sakit kahit alam kong wala naman akong karapatan na masaktan.

Nag yaya na silang mag shopping then I told them na mauna na dahil may tinitingnan pa ako sa petshop then I suddenly feel na nahilo ako medyo nag gewang gewang ako and I hold on to the wall to balance myself, napa upo ako saglit dahil medyo nahihirapan na ako and then I saw Charles and his friends walking like they didn't notice me.

Someone gave me a bottle of water para mawala ng kauti ang hilo ko so I held my head up to see kung sino ang nag bigay. I saw Caz Ramos, they own some of the libraries around manila, agad akong napa tayo at napatingin sa kanya. Whats he doing?

"Hi, are you a senior? I saw you kaya nilapitan na kita. Btw, are you okay?" He said. Hala! napaka bait nya my gosh. Then I saw his friend na nag lalakad palayo habang akbay abkay ang baby girl nya.

"Yeah I'm ok, I feel a little dizzy pero ok na ako thanks for the water" I said with a gentle smile
"Don't you mind if Ihatid na kita para makita ko lang na safe ka?" He asked. How about his friend? Baka maiwan nya yun.

"Huh! I Have friends over there I guess mag papahatid nalang ako sa kanila" I replied. Nakakahiya din kasi, His friend left him na tuloy

"Ganun ba, alam mo youre familiar oh I saw you kanina You almost slipped kanina pero may-"
Pinutol ko ang sinasabi nya because its embarrasing "Yeah That's me" then I saw a smirk in his face na para bang tuwang tuwa sya nang yari kanina pero nakakahiya parin then nag iwas ako ng tingin para mawala yung awkward feeling

"That's alright wala naman ata masakit sayo" sabi nya saakin "Yeah wala naman, uhmm pupunta na ako sa mga kaybigan ko para mag pahatid na" I said

"Sige ihahatid nalang kita sa kanila para hindi ka matumba tumba if nahihilo kapa" sabi nya. Nag simula na akong mag lakad pero bago kami makaalis ay nakita ko ang pusa sa loob ng petshop napaka cute nun at ang puti ang balahibo, bago makaalis ay nilapitan ko iyun at parang gusto nya na bilhin ko sya, napaka cute ng pag tingin nya saakin.

Shettt nangaakit ba sya? Argggg! Baka next time pag nandito pa sya bibilin ko na sya then I smiled
"Bye bye kitty pag nandito ka pag bumalik ako bibilin kita" I said na parang nakaka intindi ang puso ang cute.

Nag lakad na ako para hanapin sila Suri, nakita kong naka sunod pa din si Caz saakin at parang napaka seryoso nya, nag lakad nalang ako and then I saw Suri looking for a dress, agad kong hinarap si Caz
"Caz thankyou ulit ah, dito nalang ako nakikita ko naman na sila" Sabi ko ng naka ngiti

"Ganon ba? Sige mag ingat ka and see you at school, bye." he said at ngumiti nalang agad akong nag lakad paalis, paalis na din sya at na salubong ko na si Suri.

"Bat ang tagal mo Tala san ka ba galing?" She asked
"Uwi na tayo iba ang pakiramdam ko nahihilo ako " agad naman nila akong naihatid sa bahay and I went to my room to change my clothes and I remembered, bakit hindi naka punta si Nikki San Juan? She's my bestfriend mong all of my friends. Nag aaral sya sa UE malapit lang yun saamin nilalakad lang namin pag pupuntahan namin sya malapit lang talaga.

Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko para tawagan sya
"Hey are you ok? Bakit di ka pumunta?" I asked her.

"Hey sis, yes I'm ok naman it's just I need to meet my org. For our closing remarks nakakaloka naman kasi. This school makes me stress tapos yung adviser dito ang higpit pa! I was on my way sana kaso she announced that we need to practice" she said ang daming reklamo, sa UE dapat ako mag aaral kaso I knew Charles kaya dito nalang.

"Sis Are you busy?" I asked again

"No, why? I just got home" sabi nya na mukhang nag hihintay ng chika ko.

"Sis I saw charles with a girl and he called her babygirl! I wanna cry, I feel so bad then I felt dizzy. Caz came with a bottled water and gave it to me para daw mawala yung hilo ko. Mabuti pa si Caz, napansin ako baka jowa nya yun hano?"
feel so stree while thinking What should I do.

" Girl wala ka ng magagawa if ever nga na baby yun ni charles, eh Charles don't even know you nga eh so if I were you stop expecting na ikaw ang gusto nya. Girl that's too far from reality kaya limipat ka na dito para naman mag kasama na tayo or we should transfer in la salle your rich enough para mag aral dun I heard ang daming pogi dun " she giggled while talking Ughh I knew it napaka basher nito

" sis I'm not playing around I swear Hindi ko nga kilala yung babae ni hindi ko nga sya nakikita sa laro ni charles eh it's confusing " I said with irritated voice.

"even though you are still mad or sad or irritated nothing's gonna happen kasi hindi ka naman nya kilala Ok sana kung ginawa mo syang friend para mapalapit kaso hindi eh totally stranger ang peg nyo " she said while laughing
I feel irritated I hate her.

Huminga ako ng malalim at naka tingin sa ceiling parang nag iisip.

She talk again" You know what tala if I were you you should confess, kasi nag kakaganyan ka hindi naman dapat ganyan reaction mo eh. OMG don't tell me you're awhat tala you should stop liking him . I know I told you to confessed but I guess it's not good what if ma inlove ka without knowing na may naka takda na sayo you should think about that or talk to your mom na ipakilala ka na sa mapapangasawa mo ng mag ka hulugan na kayo ng loob para hindi kana ma inlove sa iba" Nag aalangan na sabi nya saakin kahit kaylan ayokong ma disappoint si mommy.

Kasi ako lang ang meron sya wala naman palagi sa tabi namin si daddy ako nalang ang meron sya. That's why I want my mom to be happy , kahit alam kong kasiyahan ko ang kapalit sa lahat ng ito I never want to talk about the guy they what for me I never ask about him, I don't have interest in him .

" Nikki I think I should stop liking Charles" I said with a disappointment smile.
