Fragile [COMPLETED]

Fragile 72

Fragile 72

Mariin akong tinitigan ni Dash ngayon habang inaayos ko ang aking buhok. Gusto nitong sumama sa aking klase ngunit may importante naman itong meeting ngayong araw.

He doesn't want me to go alone in school. Ilang beses pa nitong tinawagan si Ashton para ito nalang ang pupunta imbes na siya pero sa hindi malamang kadahilanan hindi makontak ang kapatid nito.

"I can manage, Dash" natatawa kong binalingan si Dash

He sighed. Naglakad ito papunta sa akin at tumigil sa aking likuran. Sinalubong niya ang aking tingin mula sa salamin.

"Ihahatid kita"

"You'll be late. Besides, I can drive myself to school"

He didn't answer but his face says he didn't agree what I just said. Tumayo ako sa pagkakaupo at hinarap si Dash. Ipalibot ko ang aking mga kamay sa kanyang leeg.

"Malalate ka na sa meeting mo kapag ihahatid mo pa ako"

"I don't care" mariin nitong sagot. Inilagay nito ang mga kamay sa magkabilang bahagi ng beywang ko.

Wala akong magawa kundi ang mapailing nalang habang nasa front seat ako ng sasakyan ni Dash. He's persistent to send me to school by himself.

Plano pa nga nitong icancel ang meeting pero kinumbinsi ko siya na huwag gawin iyon. I think that meeting would be helpful in his business. I read their agenda at Dash's laptop last night. Ayoko naman na ako ang maging hadlang sa paghakbang nito patungong tagumpay.

If he would be successful I want to be beside him supporting. Cause, he would do that for me too.

Isang matagal na halik ang kanyang ibinigay bago ito umalis. Malaki ang aking mga ngiti habang nakaupo. Kahit nong dumating ang professor at nagsimulang magdiscuss ay hindi nawala ang aking ngiti hanggang sa matapos ang una kong klase.

"Stop smiling like an idiot, Daenah"

Mas lalo kung nilakihan ang aking ngiti na binalingan si Saniyah. She groaned. May sinabi pa ito ngunit hindi ko na pinansin dahil tumunog ang aking cellphone.

May message na galing kay Dash.

'Meeting's boring. I wish I didn't come here'

Can't help myself to bit the corner of my lower lip. I think I am crazy in love with this nerd. I never imagine that I feel this with his simple text. Parang may mumunting kuryente sa aking tiyan. It softly tickles my inside.

'I'm with the girls. Nasa tambayan kami' I replied

"She's crazy bitches. What kind of potion nerd gave at her?"

"Stop being a hater, Saniyah" I hissed ngunit may ngiti pa rin sa mga labi.

"You grew soft as days passed. That nerd completely changed you in just a day. You are not the same old Daenah"

My smile left my face. I coldly stare at Saniyah. My other friends probably noticed it cause they stopped what they're doing. Nakatingin sila sa akin na tila ba may hinihintay.

"What's wrong with you?"

Hindi ito sumagot.

"Just because the boy you like doesn't like back, that doesn't mean you have the right to meddle my life, Saniyah. Stop being so fvcking bitter"

Elowyn's jaw dropped. Theia hold Saniyah's arm to stop her from speaking. Penny and Hailee was just looking at the two of us.

"I was just saying my-"

"Now stop it you two!" putol ni Elowyn sa gustong sabihin ni Saniyah

I rolled my eyes and picked my things.

"Excuse me. I need to go"

I don't want to stay too long. I know I hit a nerve there. Ayokong mag-away kami ni Saniyah.

Nang medyo nakalayo na ako at hindi na ako matanaw ng aking mga kaibigan, I stopped walking. I remember seeing pain in Saniyah's eyes while I said those words. Kaya ayokong magtagal doon. Ayokong madagdagan ang masasakit na salitang nasabi ko.

For others it may seemed like just words but for Saniyah it hurt her a lot. I hated myself for saying those at my friend. They were my family before I have Dash.

Gusto kong bumalik at humingi ng tawad kay Saniyah but my pride says otherwise.

'You grew soft as days passed...'

"Maybe I am... pero parehas lang tayo. I grew soft and so are you"

Pareho kaming nahulog sa mga taong hindi namin inexpect. The difference is just I fall at someone and he caught me, while she fall at someone who hates her.

"Sorry, Saniyah..." I whispered in the air. Wishing Saniyah would hear it.
