Hindi Tayo Pwede (Paramour Series #1)

Chapter Thirteen

Warning: SPG ahead

"Please son, talk to me. It's been a week already. Di kana lumalabas sa kwarto mo, ni kumain hindi mo na rin ginagawa. I am leaving next week already. Please son."

"Jethro, are you out of your mind? Why are you doing this? Are still mad on what I did last time? Fuck!"

"Calm down Augustine, you're pressuring him!"

"Go on, spoil your son! Just like what you used to do. Kaya lumalaki ang ulo niyan!"

"C'mon Augustine! Ikaw ang andito pero di mo man lang naitanong sa anak mo kung ok lang ba sya and now you're blaming it to me?"

"Ayusin mo yang ugali ng anak mo!"

"Anak natin!"

They are fighting again. I can't believe that they still can do it. I mean, di paba sila nagsasawa sa pag-aaway nila? Tsk.

Palagi ko silang naririnig na nag-aaway sa labas ng kwarto ko. Everyday, every night. I never been to school as well. I made excuses to Charm. She's been texting me also, asking if what I am up to.

From Charm: Jeth. Malapit na ang finals. Wala kabang plano na pumasok? Though you have my notes, you still need to listen for some lectures.

Nilapag ko nalang yung phone ko saka nagpatuloy sa pag-aaral. Wala akong pakialam kung malapit na ang finals. I can study on my own and be on top as usual.

Muling nag vibrate ang phone ko. Fuck! It is disturbing me. Nakita kong may mensahe galing sa unknown number.

From 0915******* : Agony? It's me. Please be at school tomorrow. You're missing too much already. I am worried.

Fuck! She's makin' me crazy. Don't give me false hopes, miss Atacia. You know what I am feeling towards you.

Tinungo ko yung terrace dito sa kwarto ko. Siguro kelangan ko lang ng preskong hangin. For me to breathe.

Pero laking gulat ko nang makita ko si miss Atacia na nakaupo doon sa harap ng gate namin. Paano sya nakapasok?

Pabalik-balik ang tingin nya sa kanyang cellphone at relo. It's almost 10 PM pero ba't andito pa sya?

Pagbaba ko, nakita ko si mommy na nakaupo sa sofa. Agad kong naagaw ang atensyon nya kaya napabalikwas sya ng tayo.

"Finally lumabas na ka din Agony. Do you need anything? Are you hungry or what?" Bungad sa akin ni mommy.  Pag-alala ang bumalot sa kanya.

"Bakit nasa labas si miss Atacia?"

Natahimik si mommy sa tinanong ko. Why they let miss Atacia wait outside when they knew that I don't want to talk to anyone this time.

"Fuck! Answer the damn question! Who let her stay outside and wait for nothing, huh?!" Sigaw ko.

"Calm down son---"

"I let her, Jethro." Wika ni dad sa likod ko. "I let her since the day when you decide to lock yourself in."

"She insisted to wait son. She desperately waited for you." Pahabol ni mommy.

Galit kong tinignan si dad. "Papauwiin nyo sya o kakaladkarin ko sya paalis?"

"Jeth---How could you?" Di makapaniwalang ni dad.

Ni isa sa kanila walang umimik. Ni isa sa kanila walang gustong magsalita. Kahit si daddy.

"Jethro wait!" Pagtawag sa akin ni mommy nang lumabas ako ng bahay.

Pagbukas ko palang, nakuha ko na kaagad ang atensyon niya. Batid ko ang ligaya sa kanyang mukha nang makita ako pero kasalungat nun ang nararamdaman ko.
