Wakas
"He gave you that?" Jay asked referring to the necklace I'm wearing right now.
He's leaning on my bathroom door as we speak and I'm seating on the edge of my bed.
He is now helping me pack my things for my flight tomorrow morning, that's why he decided to spend the night in my apartment. I nodded and sighed.
"And he kissed you?" he asked again. I looked at him for a while and looked down.
Even though he's my friend, I'm still nervous about telling him everything that has happened. Fidgeting my fingers I answered him, "Yes."
Narinig ko ang buntong hininga niya. I know he's upset. "Rachel, we talked about thi–"
"Pero hindi na mauulit." pag puputol ko rito.
He heaved a sigh once again and walked towards me. Lumuhod siya sa harapan ko at iniangat ang aking mukha gamit ang kanyang kamay para magtama ang aming mga mata. "Rachel you're my friend." he started, "And as your friend, I'm telling you, that what you did with Travis is very wrong. You kissed him behind Cindy's back and that's cheating."
Nagulat naman ako sa sinabi niya at napa-kunot ang noo ko. How can he tell me that I cheated with Travis when we only kissed once? Maybe he's making a point and pointing out the truth that I just can't accept.
"So I'm a cheater now is that it? Is that what you're trying to say?" I asked as my eyes started tearing up.
Umiling ito at saka umupo sa tabi ko. "Nung nabuo niyo ang baby niyo, never in my life I thought of you as a cheater." aniya, "Kasi hiwalay na sila ni Cindy nun and what happened was a mistake, and I know you're paying for it right now. Pero iba na kasi ngayon, he's getting married with your best friend and you kissed him."
Humihikbing pinunasan ko ang mga luha sa aking mata. I see his point but I don't think I can accept what he said.
Kasi para sa akin nagmahal lang naman ako. I loved him as the father of my child and I know that I loved the wrong person. Maaaring mag-iba nga ang tingin sa akin ng iba pero hindi naman nila alam ang dinadanas ko.
"I'm sorry Jayjay." I cried.
Naramdaman ko naman ang pagyakap niya sa akin at ang paghalik niya sa aking noo. He's rubbing my back trying to comfort me, "It's okay, I know you're sorry."
"I loved the wrong person Jay."
The whole night he was calming me and telling me that I am a strong woman and I can move on from Travis.
KINABUKASAN, maaga kaming nagising ni Jay para bumyahe papuntang airport. The day has finally come that I will be leaving the country.
As Jay was busy placing my luggage inside the trunk, he looked at me. "Alam ba niya anong oras ka aalis?"
"Sino?" tanong ko kahit na alam ko na kung sino ang tinutukoy niya.
Umikot naman ang mata nito, "Sino pa ba? edi yang tatay ng anak mo." he pointed out and carried my last luggage to place it inside the trunk.
I shrugged, "Ayaw ko siyang istorbohin."
Nang matapos siya ay sinarado niya ang trunk at pinagbuksan ako ng pinto sa kotse. We will be using his car on the way to the airport. Nang maka-upo ako sa shotgun seat, isinara niya ang pinto at umikot papunta sa driver's seat. I put on my seat belt before talking.
"And I already sent a message to Cindy kanina, ayaw ko rin siyang abalahin kasi alam kong pagod yun."
"Ang tinatanong ko si Travis. Does he even know what time your flight is? I mean he's still your baby daddy." he said and started the engine.
