Chapter 18 - Diversion from Rejection

Chapter Eighteen
"Diversion from Rejection"
Daniel Rouge Gustilyo's Point of View

Hindi ito sumagot sa akin. Theo did not respond to my confession, he wasn't even surprised when I said 'I like him' instead he just walked out and went inside his room.

He doesn't have the balls ika nga ni Eric.

Disappointed, I went back inside my room and laid myself on top of the bed while Eric was still sleeping peacefully.

What do you expect from Theo, Dani?

He's a messed up person.

A fucked up being.

Naramdaman ko na lamang na umusod si Eric papalapit sa akin and he pulled me closer to him at niyakap ako. "He did not respond to your confession aight?" Asked Eric habang nakapikit pa rin ang mga mata.

"Were you eavesdropping?" Tanong ko sa kaniya.

"Hmm." He just nodded at me. Napabuntong-hininga na lamang ako. "Come here." Ani Eric at pinalapit pa ako sa kaniya para higpitan ang pagyakap sa akin. Napatingin na lamang ako sa kisame. But I'm glad I wasn't crying.

"Whenever someone feels sad. The only thing that could help him/her feel better is a hug." Ani Eric at hinigpitan ang pagyakap sa akin.

And that triggered my tears to fall down on its own.

...

"Dear, have you already found an escort for your debut?" Panimula ni Abeline sa akin nang naupo ako sa table para kumain ng breakfast.

Come to think of it, my debut is coming next week at wala parin akong escort. Ayaw ko namang piliin si Eric, kasi alam ko kung sino ang gusto ko and that is Theo.

Umiling lang ako sa kaniya bilang tugon. "Well it can't be helped then. I guess we'll have Theo na lang." ani Abeline sa akin. I turned to look at Theo pero 'di naman ito nakikinig, I guess he's fine with it. "Your practice will start this week." I just nodded at her then continued eating.

Pinagpatuloy na lang namin ang pagkain at wala parin kaming imik ni Theo, pagkatapos kumain ay agad na akong nagligpit ng mga gamit ko para sa school. When I was done, lumabas kaagad ako ng kwarto at pinatawag ang driver na ihatid na lang ako papuntang school.

"You're not coming with Theo?" Tanong sa akin ng Mom nito.

"Ah, Mauuna po kasi ako. I have some errands to do." I just gave her a faint smile then kissed her on her cheek at sumakay na sa sasakyan.

The truth is, I just want to stay away from him today. Maybe that way, hindi ako masasaktan. But just for today.

When I arrived at school, sinalubong naman ako ni Romeo na parang naiinis. "Did you sign yourself   sa agency?"

"You asked me to join your agency. So I did." I answered him nonchalantly. "In fact they emailed me an electronic contract para i-sign ko." I added.

"I told you ayaw ko sa'yo sa agency namin right?"

"Kung ayaw mo, e'di sana you didn't approach me in the first place. I just did what your agency wanted me to do. To join your family." I retorted then continued walking. Napabuntong hininga na lamang ito atsaka nagsalita ulit.
