CUPID ON VACATION (FRANDEESAL)

Chapter 30

Jaydee's POV

December 30. 

Lumipat na muna ko kina Tita Mildred. Buong araw akong nagkulong sa kwarto para makapag-isip isip. 

FLASHBACK

"..I think the two of you are a couple." sabi ni Frances.

"Really?."

"Bakit? Hindi ba?."

SILENCE

"W-well, not actually. But I love her more than any girl I know. You know, Madie has this in the closet type of problem and of course I don't wanna rush her in terms of coming out because I know that would certainly mess everything up. I want her to be ready first Frances. That's why the only choice for me is to wait, and I would always be willing to wait."

"I see."

..

"..You know your dad and I used to be good friends in highschool, that's why I want to give you a favor."

"Ano pong ibig nyong sabihin?."

"I would like to adopt you."

..

Sa school. Habang naglalakad kami papuntang classroom,

".. I'm sorry. I swear I didn't--"

"You know what, I don't even know why I'm mad kasi di naman tayo. But I hate it Jaydee, I hate feeling this way. Pagod nakong umasa sa mixed signals mo." 

"She kissed me." Sabi ko. 

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?. Tsk. Kahit na sino pang nauna, alam ko namang gugustuhin mo yun kasi kahit di mo sabihin alam kong si Ate Madie parin. Kaya utang na loob, wag mo kong bigyan ng motibo kung wala karin palang balak na saluhin ako kasi ansaket Jaydee, sobrang sakit umasa sa wala." Walk out niya.

"Frances--"

..

"Hey, medyo down ka today. May problema ba?." Nag-aalalang sabi ni Frances.

"Wala." Yuko ko ng ulo ko.

"Are you sure?."

"Of course." Tingin ko sa kanya.

"Okay." Sabi nya lang at nagfocus na sa phone nya.

"How about this Jaydee?. Bagay ba sakin?." Pakita sakin ni Frances ng nakita nyang gown online.

"Y-yeah. It looks good on you hehe."

..

6pm sa pabrika.

"Baka naman nagseselos lang yun." Sabi ni Karla.

"Selos?. Eh wala naman syang dapat pagselosan kasi--"

"Wala ba talaga?. Naku naku, kilala ko yang mukhang yan. Sabihin mo nga meron pa no?. I'm sure kay Terrence wala na pero kay Madie--naku patay tayo dyan."

"I don't know okay?. Maybe namimiss ko lang sya. Walang ibang ibig sabihin yun."

"Yeah keep telling yourself that tsk. Jaydee, you're better than this."

"Namimiss ko lang si Madie, as a friend. Si Frances ang mahal ko, siya lang. At walang makakapagbago ng nararamdaman ko for her, not even Madie."
