CHAPTER 18
“I have a favor to ask”, sambit ko kay Syd. Niyaya ko siya sa bago siya umuwi ng Palawan.
“Ano yun Alexander? Bakit ganyan yung itsura mo? Meron bang malaking problema?”, sunod-dunod niyang tanong.
“Pabor lang ang hinihingi ko sa’yo kung makapagtanong ka naman dyan e wagas na.”
“E kasi parang matter of life and death yang hinihingi mong pabor”
“Can you just say a yes or a no?”
“Xander, it’s not that easy lalo’t hindi ko alam kung anong pabor iyan pero by the looks of it, oo, sige, payag ako.”, seryosong tugon ni Sydney.
“Sabi mo yan a. Wala nang bawian?”
“Gago ka. Umayos ka a. Ano ba yung pabor na iyon?”
“Make Gino happy, assure me na magiging ok siya kahit wala ako.”
“Ano bang sinasabi mo?”
“Be with him. Gusto mo siya, magugustuhan ka niya at magiging masaya kayong dalawa.”
“Ano bang kalokohan na naman yan?”
“I can’t be with him anymore.”
“Bakit? Ano bang meron?”
“Wala…”
“Anong wala? Trip trip lang ganun? Gago ka ba?”
“Oo. Gago ako. Matagal na at alam mo yun.”
“Alam kong gago ka pero hindi pagdating kay Gino. Hindi mo siya bibitawan nang ganun ganun lang.”
“I have a good reason.”
“Kung tingin mong it’s good enough then tell me kung ano iyon.”
“Kasi…”
“Xander, when had you become that sissy? Grow up Alexander! You’re pissing me!”
“Sydney…”
“Xander, ang haba ng usapang ito pero wala akong maintindihan kung bakit ganyan yung actions mo.”
“I’m sick.”, tugon ko habang nakatungo.
“Sick? What do you mean?”
“I have a brain tumor and there’s a chance that I’d die in no time. Ayokong malaman ni Gino yun.”, matigas kong sambit.
