Anything For You, Beks [Heartbreak Series #1]

Chapter 30: Marmyx (Untold)

MARMYX

"May sakit po si Ate eh, can you just give this letter to your teachers?" Magalang na sabi ng kapatid ni Chrysa. Sinasabi ko na nga ba! Bakit naman kasi siya nag-stay sa ulanan? Kasama ko ngayon sina Zaine at Jyll, nagkasalubong kasi kami sa daan. Zaine looks worried as well as Jyll. Sarap niyang suntukin at sabihing kasalanan niya 'yon!

Hindi ako mapakali. Knowing that Chrysa is sick makes me sick also. Masyado kasi siyang nakatingin sa malayo kaya kahit sarili niyang halaga hindi niya makita.

"Marmyx, can you buy some supplies at the mall?" Utos ng isa naming guro na good thing din para sa akin. Kanina ko pa iniisip kung magka-cutting ba ako para bumili ng bulaklak o kaya'y bisitahin si Chrysa and now, inuutusan akong pumunta ng mall para bumili ng supplies. Thank you, Lord!

She handed me the list of the things that she needs at hindi na ako nag-atubili pang sumakay ng motorsiklo ko at paharurutin ito matapos ibigay sa gwardya ang excuse letter ko.

Ilang minuto lang ay nasa mall na ako. Imbes na dumiretso sa bookstore, I immediately went to my trusted flower shop. I ordered a bouquet of fresh violet chrysanthemums. Balak kong idaan ito sa bahay nila Chrysa bago bumalik ng school.

"Violet chrysanthemums stand for get well soon, 'di ba?" Halos mapatalon ako sa gulat nang may magsalita sa likod ko. Lumingon ako dito at nakita ko si Jhya na naka-cross arms. May hawak siyang paper bag ng isang sikat na bookstore at nakasuot siya ng uniform.

"Uy, Jhya! Anong ginagawa mo dito? Si Venom?" I acted like I didn't know what she's saying but knowing her, hindi niya pa man din ako nahuhuli ay alam niya na.

"I knew it," sabi niya habang nakatingin sa bulaklak. "Venom's already at the school. Mas maaga ang sched nila ngayon, eh. Dumaan lang ako sa bookstore para bumili ng art mats since may activity mamaya," she said, answering my question.

"Ah..." Hindi ko alam ang sasabihin. Hindi niya pa naman nakukumpirma pero bakit natatakot ako na baka sabihin niya kay Chrysa?

"Don't' be scared, hindi ko sasabihin kay Chrysa," she said as if she could read my mind. "Why are you scared to confess, Myx?" She seriously asked.

"She doesn't like me, she can't like me back," sagot ko. Wala na namang dahilan para itanggi pa dahil alam kong alam naman na ni niya.

"Una pa lang, ramdam kong ikaw na. Matagal ko nang napapansin 'yong pagka-gusto mo kay Chrysa," she stated. "No'ng junior high palagi kitang nahuhuling nakatingin sa kaniya, e."

"Hindi ka pa ba late?" Tanong ko, sinusubukang ibahin ang usapan.

"Are you scared of rejection? Kaya ka ba hindi umaamin kasi alam mong si Jyll pa rin 'yong gusto niya?" She said, ignoring what I just asked. She raised a brow at me. She sounded like she wanted me to do something.

Am I really afraid of being rejected? Maybe. I mean, anong laban ko 'di ba? Chrysa is deeply in love with Jyll. Chrysa is doing anything just to show him her feelings.

"I'm actually tired of seeing Chrysa doing everything for nothing," she said when I didn't answer the question. Well, it's obvious. "She deserves better."

"So, you think ako 'yon?" Biro ko sa kaniya.

"'Wag lalaki ulo mo! JyllSa forevs ako noon pero kung ganiyan ding palaging nasasaktan si Chrysa, 'wag na lang," she said. Sobrang hanga ako sa friendship nilang apat. Ang solid. They weren't those best of friends that will hug each other often or buy food for each other. You will usually see them punching or slapping each other and that's their way of showing they love each other. Kapag may problema ang isa, g lahat na damayan iyon. They will do anything without expecting in return.
