Chapter 14
EUNNA’s POV
After ng iyakan session namin ni Yera kahapon ay napagdesisiyonan namin na mag-overnight stay siya sa bahay namin dahil wala naman kaming klase ngayon kaya ngayon ay magkasama kaming kumakain ng umagahan. Plano namin gumala buong araw mamaya sa mall.
“Eunna, about yesterday…”
“Hmm?”
“What do you mean na ginagamit mo lang sila Lewy? Do you like someone el-“ Napatigil siya sa pagsasalita ng biglang may nagdoorbell.
“Let me get that.”
“Are expecting a visitor?” Tanong niya.
“No” Pagkabukas ko ng gate ay bumungad sa akin si Karis. He looks so upset? He walked towards me and placed his forehead on my shoulder.
“She broke up with me.” Panimula niya. I felt bad just by hearing those words.
“What’s happening?” Di ko namalayang nasa likod ko na pala si Yera. Agad ko namang tinuro si Karis.
“Pumasok muna kayong dalawa” Sabi ni Yera at sinara na yung gate. Umupo muna kami sa sala at hinintay na may magsalita sa amin.
“I know you’re upset Karis pero pagsasabihan ko lang si Eunna.” Basag ni Yera sa katahimikan.
“Eunna, dapat di mo ginawa yun. Alam mo naman yung mga pinaggagawa nung “stalkers” para sa page nila.” Babala niya
“Sorry.”
“Magusap muna kayong dalawa dyan. Aakyat lang ako.” Sabi ni Yera at umalis na.
Kinwento sa akin ni Karis yung nangyari sakanila nung girlfriend niya. Her name is Ylin. Sabi niya ay may nagsabi daw sakanya na Ylin is cheating on him dahil nagsasawa na daw siya sa relationship nila ni Karis lalo na’t LDR sila.
Karis on the other side, simula nung nalaman niyang may iba si Ylin. He had second thoughts about his feelings.
“Everything makes sense now. Ilang week na siyang malamig sa akin at nung isang araw nahuli siya nung kaibigan ko na nasa Tagaytay din.”
“Kahit na nawawalan na kami ng feelings sa isa’t- isa, knowing na may iba siyang naging karelasyon doon habang kami pa still breaks my heart. Sana pinutol nalang niya kaagad.” Dagdag ni Karis.
“Baka di niya pinutol kaagad kasi alam niyang madi-disappoint ka sakanya. Maybe she is scared that you’ll despise her after what she did. It’s not your fault, a person’s heart can change. It’s normal.”
“Pero mali padin siya kasi hindi siya nakuntento. She wasted your 4 years relationship.” Patuloy ko at ngumiti siya sa akin.
“You know too much about feelings. Nakailang relationships ka na ba?” Natatawang tanong ni Karis.
“Lewy is my first and I red tons of books so I think I can understand people’s feelings a little.”I laughed.
Just by looking at Karis, paano kung dadating na sa point na makikipagbreak na makikipagbreak na ako kay Lewy. Ganito kaya kalungkot ang mararamdaman ni Lewy?
“Change topic naman. About doon sa sinasabi ni Yera kanina. Anong meron sa page na sinasabi niyo?”
“Try searching “Fake Ficus” in SNS” Kinuha niya agad yung phone niya at tumabi sa akin.
‘T-too close’
“Wait is this you and Lewy?” Tanong niya sakin. Tumango nalang ako at sinabing sa kanya na may medyo sikat si Lewy sa university namin.
“Well that explains. Wait may new post-”
“Eunna!” Nagulat kami ng bigla akong tawagin ni Yera.
“What?” Pinakita niya sa akin yung phone niya.
“See? I told you.” Sabi niya
“Is that me and Karis?” Picture namin nung nasa may gate kami habang naka sandal si Karis sa akin.
“Us?”
“Yup kakapost lang nila.” sagot ni Yera.
“Obviously.” Sagot ko at agad akong binelatan ni Yera.
“That’s a cute photo though.” Sabi ni Karis
“It is but this can cause a misunderstanding lalo na’t in a relationship ka.” Paalala ni Yera sa akin.
“Your stalkers are weird.”
“Sinabi mo pa.”
“Bat di mo I report sa pulis?” Tanong ni Karis
“My father is one of the police in the near station.”
“See? That makes everything easier.”
“Actually… no.” sagot ko.
“Why?”
“Let’s just say that they don’t get along.” Sagot ni Yera.
“By the way, let’s get ready Eunna. Manonood pa tayo ng movie. Karis wanna join us?”
“Sure I guess. I need a distraction anyway. I’ll bring my car”
***
“Eunna, bili muna ako ng tickets. Kayo nalang ang bumili ng pagkain natin” Paalam ni Yera at agad na umalis.
“Sige, hintayin ka nalang namin sa harap ng entrance.” Sagot ko at inaya si Karis na bumili ng makakain.
***
“Eunna.” Nasa harap na kami ng entrance nang tawagin ako ni Karis.
“Natanggal yung pagkakasintas ng sapatos mo.” Sabi niya habang turo-turo yung sapatos ko.
“Can you tie it for me? My hands are full.” Pinakita ko yung mga dala kong pagkain namin ni Yera.
“Sure.” Nilapag niya yung dala niyang soda at inayos yung sintas ko.
“I got the tickets!” Masiglang bungad sa amin ni Yera kaya pumasok na kami sa loob ng sinehan.
***
“Eunna? Are you okay?” Bulong ni Yera sa akin.
“Of course.” No, I’m not! Sinong magiging okay kung may nakasandal sayong lalaki. T_T
Nasa climax na kami ng movie at napansin kong kanina pa mukhang inaantok si Karis so I offered my shoulders to him. Di ko naman ine-expect na tatanggapin talaga niya. Naalala ko nanaman tuloy yung sinabi ni Pheya sa akin dati ‘Typical romance shit in books really happens in real life.’
I tried to compose myself and focused on the movie but I can’t. Tumingin ako kay Karis na payapang natutulog and I can smell his hair. His scent makes me calm and makes my heart race at the same time. Nababaliw na ata ako.
Mabilis na lumipas ang oras at agad na natapos yung movie. Wala man lang akong naintindihan sa pinanood namin kanina dahil kay Karis. Feeling ko tuloy manyak na ako. Karis insisted na ihatid kaming dalawa ni Yera sa bahay namin. Nauna na namin naihatid si Yera sa bahay nila kaya ngayon ay tahimik lang kaming dalawa sa kotse.
“Eunna-”
“Karis-”
“You first” sabi ko sakanya.
“About earlier, thank you”
“Yung sa sinehan? It’s nothing lol. It’s just me giving you a shoulder to lean on” Well, that’s an awkward response. Naramdaman kong uminit ang mukha ko dahil sa kahihiyan.
“No, kaninang umaga, thank you for comforting me. At yung sa sinehan na din” mahina siyang tumawa at tinigil yung kotse. I didn’t realized na nasa bahay na kami.
“You’re always welcome.” I looked at his eyes and smiled softly. I met his brown eyes staring at me deeply. We stayed like that and embraced the moment.
He cupped my cheek with his hand. His hand moved lightly then softly held my chin. He slowly lean towards me. I closed my eyes expecting what will happen next. I felt the warmth of his lips into mine.
‘Shit, this is wrong. I have a boyfriend.’
My brain is telling me to stop him but my body did otherwise. Instead of pushing him, I kissed him back.
Naramdaman kong medyo nagulat si Karis sa ginawa ko at narealize kung ano ang ginawa niya. Mabilis siyang umatras at yumuko.
“I-i’m sorry” agad na sabi ko at bumaba na ng kotse.
“Eunna.” Tawag niya kaya napatigil ako.
“I don’t regret kissing you.”
