Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Do time actually run faster when all you want is to stop it from tickling? I should be mad right? For betrayal that he did to me. But I can’t feel myself boiling with anger, all I feel was…longing.

My tears suddenly fell from my eyes when a glimpse of light squint on his face. It’s really him.

“fuck, stop it…d-don’t cry.” He attempt to touch me but I push him away. I did wipe my own tears, the pain sting a bit aggressive now. My face was already red, I know because my condition become severe now.

I felt guilty when I saw fear overtook his face. I move away from him.

“I-I’m sorry…” nanghihina niyang sinabe.

“I was not there for so long because I was busy finding the cure for you…I can’t stand seeing you pained because of your condition so I’ve worked hard for you…please don’t move away from me.” His voice broke.

When I looked at him. That’s just the time I notice how changes show from his face down to his body. His black hoodie jacket failed to hide how he thin a bit.

And his hair is longer than before. The falling strands that I hate before is attractive to me now for some reason.

“you shouldn’t be here.” I whispered. I was trying hard not to fall to the ground. My feet felt weakened.

“Bakit hindi ka pumunta?...I waited.” He softly said. Turning down what I said.

You made this so difficult for me Clave. I think I was numb already but when I saw him. He made me feel like I was only pretending the whole time. That’s why I don’t want him to be near me because he made me feel pain. An unknown pain that just stubbed me for unknown reason.

“Umalis ka na rito. Anytime now, E-Elvis would be here.”

“I don’t care about him. Sagutin mo muna ako.” Sabi niya sa malamig na boses.

He was talking about the letter. The letter I throw before I could read it. I was scared it was fabricated or its his father artifice to get me. Though I recognize his handwritten, its hard to believe its from him.

Nailang ako sa titig ni Clave sa akin kaya tumalikod na ako sa kanya.

“I want to go home.”

“Ako na maghahatid sayo.” I heard a hint of anger in his voice.

“I said Elvis would be here. Saan doon ang hindi mo maintindihan?!”

“He already found what he wants so he won’t come here to get you.” Malamig niyang sinabi.

Hinatak niya na ako sa mas madilim na parte kung ka saan nakaparada ang kanyang sasakyan. Inunahan ko na siyang buksan ang pintuan bago niya pa mahawakan.

Do I have a choice? Elvis won’t come here and maybe he already text the driver na wag na ako sunduin. Ang kailangan ko na lang gawin ay sumabay ki Clave para makauwi sa bahay. Nasa loob na siya ng sasakyan nang mag-salita ako.

“Take me straight to my house.” I suddenly said. Hindi ko alam kung bakit yun ang lumabas sa bibig ko.

Tumawa siya nang marahan nang marinig ang sinabi ko.
