Over you (Rules Breaker Series 2)

Chapter 7

Majbritt

IT HAS BEEN a week. Naging maayos naman ang trato sa'kin ni Russel nitong mga nakaraan. With a heavy heart, I continued our relationship. Kahit na na'ron iyong takot. I was afraid to be hurt at the end, pero tinuloy ko pa rin. Kasi naniniwala akong mahal ko pa si Russel at kahit na kaunti ay mahal niya pa rin ako. Dahil hindi ganoon kadaling itapon ang ilang taon naming relasyon. Hindi ganoon kadaling tanggapin ang sakit. Hindi madaling mag isa ulit. Nais ko ring siya mismo ang maka tuklas na alam ko na ang ginagawa niya. Sana lamang ay huwag ng lumalala, o huwag ng mag patuloy pa. Dahil napaka sakit.

I was getting along with our maid as well. She's been very good to me that I can't resist her. And guess what, I am with her right now in a supermarket. My very first time to be with someone I am not blood related with in a supermarket. And I can say it's fun. Ate Sandra is fun to get along with and I can really enjoy her company.

"Babaita," she used to call me that and I find it cute. "Let's grab something to eat. Gutom na 'ko."

"Me too!"

Unfortunately, dahil weekends ngayon ay punuan ang mga kainan sa mall. We don't have any choice but to get some food out side the mall. Nag tungo kami sa isang food court. Natakam agad ako sa mga nakita ko.

"Oh my god! I don't even know that this place exist!" natutuwang sabi ko. "They need to see this place." tukoy ko sa aking mga kaibigan.

Hindi naman ako pihikan sa pagkain at halos lahat ng street food ay natikman ko na yata. Well, thanks to Miles and Aljanna. Sosyal si Janna pero hindi naman siya ganoon kaarte, well minsan. She's a moody freak! Minsan ang arte-arte, minsan ang bait-bait, pero madalas nag papaiyak ng mga lalaki. The thought of her makes me laughed.

Naupo kami sa isang bench sa labas niyon pagka tapos naming bumili ng makakain.

"Hindi mo ba itatanong kung nasaan ang Dad mo ngayon?" She suddenly asked. Napalingon ako sa kanya sandali at umiwas pagkakuwan.

Bahagya akong umiling.

"Ilang buwan na halos tayong magkasama, pero madalang ko kayong makitang nag uusap ng Dad mo. Sobrang tahimik lagi ng bahay ninyo sa tuwing umuuwi ako galing palengke o kung saan man."

"Thanks to you, a noise exist in our house." natatawa kong sabi. "I and Dad, we're okay. But I don't know why we rarely talk. I mean, Dad isn't a talkative person, I think? Kaya hindi rin kami gaanong nakakapag usap. I don't remember having a straight conversation with him. Hindi ako nakakapag kuwento sa kanya."

"Eh, sa Mom mo?"

"Well, unlike Dad, I used to talked with my mom over the phone about my studies. 'Yun lang. We rarely talked about our day or what."

There's a moment of silence after I said those words. Napatingin ako sa mga taong dumaraan. I even saw a happy family walking towards their car. Noong bata pa ako, whenever I see that kind of scene, naiiyak ako. I literally cry out of nowhere. I also wished silently to have that kind of experience. Iyon bang tuwing sunday, pupunta kaming church o kaya, bibisita kila Lola sa province, or get along with my other cousins na nasa probinsya din.

Kapag weekdays at may pasok ako, ihahatid ako ni Dad at ipag hahanda ako ng pag kain ni Mom. When we have an event sa school, or everytime mayroon akong achievements pupuntahan nila ako, after that, we'll be having a celebration. For sure, it will be perfect. It will make me feel very loved. That someone is proud of having me and proud of what I have.

"Do you want them to be together again?"

"I don't know." nilingon ko siya at saka mapait na ngumiti. Tumusok siya sa kanyang kinakain at saka sumubo.
