Chapter 17: Seeking for atention

LILY

Hello? Ruth, why?...........what do you mean that he stopped?...........I think he didn't maybe he onlytook a break............. I can't Ruth, I'm in the school, I'll see you later bye."

Nagising ako dahil sa pag uusap ni Claide at ni Ruth I assumed.

He paniced when he saw me awake. "You're awake, h-hows you're sleep?"

"Okay lang. "

"Lets go? Its been three hours since you slept. Tatlong oras na ding bukas ang makina ng kotse ko, tara na?"

"S-sorry-"

"Why? You did nothing wrong Lily so why?"

"Eh kasi yung gas mo nasayang ng dahil sakin. Mahal na pa gas ngayon ha-"

"Pero mas mahal kita."

Luh anong connect? "T-tara na."

On cue pinaandar na nya ang kotse nya. Nung nag punta kami sa garden, hindi na kami pumasok uli, nag cutting na kami para matulog. Wait, hindi pa ako nakakapag cutting, shit may record nako.

"Don't worry. Its your health, and it matters than your records." He said smiling

"C'mon isang beses lang ako nag puyat eh-"

"Yeah you're not puyat, you did not sleep because of a-" he stopped when he suddenly realized something "what are you thinking last night Ly? Insomia only occurs commonly if you have a trauma or may iniisip kang mas mabigat. So tell me, what are you thinking? You don't have trauma I suppose."

I gulped. "Nothing.." sabi ko habang nakatibgin sa aircon ng kotse. "Ang lamig hehehe." Akmang papatayin ko ang aircon ng bigla nya akong inunahan.

"Don't divert the topic Ly. Tell me, anong iniisip mo? Oh wrong, sinobg iniisip mo?"

"You.." I lied.

He then suddenly held my hand and close his eyes. Oh no, he's reading me! Fck.

"C-claide?-"

"How can this happen.." he said with his eyes confused.

"What do you mean?"

"I... I saw nothing, I read nothing... does it means you're not lying?" He asked still confused.

"I'm not lying Claide." I said confidentlty. Hinuhuli nya ako.

He then smiled. "I trust you." And then he drive again.

"You said you read nothing right? How come-"

"I don't know. Something or someone is blocking it. I can't even test you"

"Test me? Periodic test? Summative test? Pre test? What test?"

He gulped. "W-were here."

I looked at him comfused. I don't want to entertain this idea but something tells me that, somethibg is off. Is he lying? No he's not that kind of person.

"Thank you for the ride at sa abala. You even cut class only just for me."

"Its nothing. So, I'll get going? I have a... important business to attend to. Bye Ly, I love you see you tommorow."

"Bye!"

And then we both waved our hands and then he drove away.

Akmang papasok na ako sa loob ng biglang hinarang ako ni Mama.

"Ma.."

"Anong oras na Lily? Asan na ang sinabi ko sayo?"

"Ma? A-ano po?" I asked confused

"May timext ako sayo, sabi ko ibili moko nun."

"Ma, pasensya na po, nakatulog po kasi ako-"

"Sa eskwelahan?! Ang dami mong palusot ibili mo nalang ako-"

"Bakit ba laging ako Ma?! Bakit hindi ikaw?!"

"Wag mo akong sagut agutin ng ganyan Lily, tandaan mo ina mo ako-"

"Bakit hindi ko naramdaman?"

"Aba't sumasagit kana-"

"The only thing I wanted is your atention, but not this way, gusto ko yung mapapansin mo ako sa ibang paraan, alam mo ba Ma kung bakit ako nag sipag sa pag aaral? Para sayo! Kasi kahit kailan hindi mo ako napansin, lagi ka nalang naalis at minsan nalang bumalik, tapos tuwing babalik may kasamang ibang tao-" i stopped when I felt her hands towards my cheeks.

"Wala kang alam! Nag iba kana Lily, dahil ba ito sa pag nonobyo mo?! Itigil mo yan!"

"Hindi dahil dun Ma.." sabi ko sabay tayo. "Dahil sayo! You made me this way, ikaw ang dahilan kung bakit ako nag kaganito at hindi sya!"

"Ako?!" Sabi nya sabay sampal uli sa akin.

Pero akmang uulitin nya yun ng umawat na si Papa.

"Pa.."

"Liza, tumigil ka, anak mo yan!"

"Ah kaya pala, kinukunsinte mo kasi!"

"Liza walang ibang ginawa itong anak mo para patunayan ang sarili nya sayo tapos ito ang isusukli mo? Tama ba yon?"

"Anong ibig mong sabihim?"

"Lahat ginawa ng anak mo para mapatunayan nya ang sarili nya sayo. Nag trabaho sya sa mura nyang edad habang nag aaral. Hindi yon madali Liza."

"Pa, aakyat na po ako." I can't take it.

"Mag pahinga ka muna. I sesession ko lang itong isang ito." Sabi nya habang nakangiti.

Tumango nalang ako at pagkatapps ay umakyat na.

Pagkapasok na pagkapasok kohumiga agad ako sa kama at hindi ko namalayan na umiyak na pala ako.

"Bakit ako umiyak? Baka dahil sa sobrang sakit at pangungulila sa pag mamahal nf isang ina." Sabi ko sa sarili.

Habang naiyak biglang nag beep ang phone ko.

Mystery texter
- Don't cry. It hurts me too.

How did he know? I didn't answer him bahala sya.

Mystery texter
- Talk to me please? It hurts because I can also feel your emotions.

I replied. What do you mean?

Mystery texter
- I can feel anyone's emotion when I have contact with them, like if I touched them something like that. Oh and thus I have a hidden skill.

You mean we... already met?

Mystery texter
-Yup. Three times I think. I hinted you, I said you know me.

Then introduce yourself.

Mystery texter
-tommorow, I promise.

Don't just make promises. Do it!

Mystery texter
- yeah yeah, but for now, calm down and sleep, I know you didn't get enough sleep thinking of me so sleep now. Mas madali kang makakatulog dahil umiyak ka.

Pagkasabi nya, bigla akong nakaramdam ng anyok. Tell me, saan tayo mag kikita bukas?

Mystery texter
- Sa school, pag break time na.

Okay.

Mystery texter
- sleep now Lily, you still have a long day ahead of you. Good night!

Good night!

I know it may seem odd but, I felt something hindi to kilig. Its chills. But wait, bakit ko ba pinag kakatiwalaan tong mystery texter na to? Bahala sya, kung mang praprank sya bahala sya.

"Ayyyy. Inaantok nako." Sabi ko at nag palit na ng damit at natulog na.

"Good night Claide. " I texted.

"Good night Ly, sweet dreams, I love you!" that is my remedy. And then I fell asleep.
