Ikaw and I

Kabanata Twenty

"No!", singit ni Kristoff.

"Ako, ikaw? Ako, ikaw?", pambabara ni Yana kay Kristoff.

"And when is it?", si Kristoff.

"Tomorrow..", si Ethan.

"Ahh, what a wrong timing. Tomorrow is saturday, and we will have our tagalog lessons. Try again next time, bro!", si Kristoff.

"Then, maybe on Sunday?", si Ethan.

"Ahmm.. But.. Ah...", si Kristoff.

"Okay!", excited na sagot ni Yana.

"Hey Yana!", si Kristoff habang nakatingin ng masama kay Yana.

"What? I have no schedules every sunday, right?", si Yana.

"Great! I have to go! I'll just call you tomorrow.", si Ethan.

"Okay.. Bye.. Take care..", wala sa katinuang sagot ni Yana.

At umalis din naman agad si Ethan.

Nakatingin lang si Yana sa kotse habang papalayo at nang mawala na sa paningin, humarap siya kay Kristoff na parang lutang ang pag-iisip.

"Am I dreaming?", si Yana.

"Do you want me to hit you?", si Kristoff.

"Hay! See, Tupe? He came here just to check if I came home safely. I told you! He's a good man. So, if you are trying to ruin my happiness, you'll just get tired!"

"Whatever, Yana! One day, you'll gonna wake up with your dreams! I better go!"

"That's it? You're not even going to say sorry?"

"What for?"

"Tingnan mo itong taong 'to! Okay! Someday, you'll gonna use it! So, that's the word of the day, sorry. Which, in tagalog, it is patawad. Say it. Patawad."
