It's Just A One Night Stand (Campus Series#3)

Chapter 40

"I HATE YOU kuya huhuhu"
sigaw ko dahil sa sakit na nadarama ko

"i hate you i hate you, for lefting me this early"

"i hate you, for not doing your promise to me, you promise to stay at my side, you promise to take care of me, you promise that you will tell me a story everynight, we'll play video games everyday, walk with our puppies, watch cartoons together, but you left me"
i shouted while crying

i felt sad to all the grass i pulled from the soil because of my Rage and Bereavement

i was about to pull some grass again when someone lend me a handkerchief

i look up to him while wiping the tears on my cheeks using my dirty hands

he laugh when he saw my dirty face

"stop laughing, there's no funny. can't you see? I'm crying!"
i said with full of hostile

he laughed again then wiped my face using his handkerchief

"are you sure it's clean? and safe?"
i said in a maarte way

he chuckled

"of course it is, dudugo ilong ko sa'yo kakaenglish mo, anak mayaman ka noh?"

"what's your paki ba? it's magandang mag-english kaya kapag sad ka, it's nakakasosyal"

"it's nakakasosyal nyenye"
he said teasing me

"are you mocking my words?"

"medyo"
he said

i furrowed my brows then later on
i laughed and smile

"oh 'diba napangiti kita? may kapalit 'yan ha"

"what? ang daya mo naman, is it allowed to payback something just for the sake of happiness?"

he shaked his head then pinched my cheeks

"ouch! why did you do that?"

"friendship ang kapalit"
he said

"huh?"

"you heard it"
he said

i nodded and smile at him

"sure"

YEARS have passed
we became friends

he already knew the reason why i am crying that night

he met my parents that night
he met my grandparents

i tell them his nickname (Roro)
my grandma likes him

we stare at kuya's grave
he tapped my back while i am crying

he gave me his jacket and handkerchief that has his own nickname 'Roro'

after that night
tomorrow morning i cried again
i missed my kuya

my grandma hates it when I'm crying
she decided to take me to US

i stayed in the US for almost a year
i got back in the philippines when I'm already grade 6 and i met some set of new Friends

Alexa, Maxine, Aloh, Sean, Kevin, Chloe and also Frayna my childhood friend

i almost forgot who Roro is
my grandma keeps on saying that Roro and i Had promised to each other before he left our home in laguna

she said that
i promised to Roro that I'll remained single until we met again

Roro promised to marry me when we both get on the right age

i didn't believe my grandma

i thought it was just a fiction for me to believe

"CYNA, wake up"
marahang tapik ng kamay ng isang lalaki sa pisngi ko

i opened my eyes and felt my tears on my cheeks

"you're crying, what's on your dreams?"
tanong ni Charlie

"h-huh? ahh wala"
iwas ko ng tingin

"let's go"
kahit labag sa loob kong magpakasal sa kaniya

wala akong magagawa

hindi ako makakatakas

may iniabot siya sa'kin na paper bag

"suotin mo 'yan, pagkalabas mo ng cr, may mag-aayos sa'yo"

tumango na lamang ako tsaka pumasok sa restroom para magpalit ng damit

it's a formal white dress
and i like the design of it

mapakla akong ngumiti dahil ikakasal ako sa taong hindi ko mahal
