Love Game

Chapter 66: Revenge

Chances are only given to those who deserve it. Kailangan kong ma prove na I deserve a second chance. Kahit bugbog sarado pa ako, it doesn't matter. All that matters for me now, is her safety. I've made her life as miserable as hell way back years ago. Hindi ko man mabawi yung mga ginawa ko sa kanya, at least I can make it up to her. She doesn't deserve to be treated that way I had treated her before. I have screwed up. I was a total shit. I just can't imagine how much pain I caused with an angel.

I've been reckless. I've been careless. But this time, this time I'll be a real man. I was once an immature kid seeking for popularity, ngayon I've grown up, I have the fame I wanted, just then nalaman ko na wala pa rin pala yung sense. Dahil ang taong may dahilan ng kasikatan ko ngayon, ay wala sa tabi ko. But unlike the past, pwede ko pa ring baguhin ang mga bagay ngayon. And this time I'll make sure, I won't let my angel fall.

I fluttered my eyes as I tried remembering what had happened. Ang sakit ng buong katawan ko. Puti ang kulay ng paligid. I looked around and spotted her - Angel.

Inaayos niya yung fruits na nasa side table. She noticed I was awake at hinarap niya agad ako.

"Gising ka na pala." She said. "Gutom ka ba? Ipagbabalat kita ng orange gusto mo?"

I tried sitting, pero sumasakit lang lalo ang katawan ko.

"Wag ka ng magalaw masyado." Sabi niya. "Susubuan nalang kita okay."

She has her warm smile. The smile that used to comfort me when I was so down. I never thought I'd see it again.

"Angel." I managed to say. I tried to reach for her hand na may hawak na orange. She didn't resist nung mahawakan ko yun. She just stare at me. "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry if I kept on pushing you away." I continued.

She smiled. "Kalimutan na natin yun."

I felt so relieved. For how many years dala dala ko sa sarili ko ang guilt ng dahil sa ginawa ko. I liked her even before, she liked me too, but I was to coward to choose her over the popularity I gained when first entered the team way back in grade school.

"Thank you." I said sincerely.

"No Jeron." She paused. "Thank you."

I shook my head. Hindi enough yung ginawa ko na pagsave sa kanya mula sa mukhang manyakis na mga lalaki sa bar. She had enough from me, and saving her life isn't just enough. I owe her this fame I have now. Kung hindi niya pinalakas yung loob ko dati, hindi na sana ako nagtuloy pa sa pagbabasketball, and I can't be the Jeron Teng that people knows in the present.

"I'll make it up to you Gel. I promise." Sabi ko.

This time, I'll make sure that I'm not going to push her away. Fate, lead us to see each other again. This time, I would not screw up. For this time could be the second, and perhaps, this could be my last chance.

Lately I've been thinking of the possibilities. Possibilities of me falling for him over again. Hindi yun imposible, to think may nararamdaman pa rin naman ako sa kanya kahit papaano. Yun nga lang, galit yung nangingibabaw sa akin ngayon.

We rushed him to the hospital after the incident. Nagpanic ako. No its isn't one of my dramas, but its for real. Hindi ko akalaing magiging grabe yung pagkabugbog kay Jeron. Kinausap ko yung tatlo at usapan namin na hindi nila pupuruhan si Jeron, pero ngayon, bugbog sarado si Jeron at walang malay pa. And worse, ilang oras na siyang tulog. I stayed at the hospital the whole night. Kasama ko yung parents at mga kapatid niya at si Jade na rin. Just this morning, kailangan nila umalis. Actually, magsta-stay sana yung mom niya, but i told her na ako nalang muna ang magbabantay. She agreed naman at babalik siya by lunch.

Nung nagkaroon ako ng chance, tinawagan ko si Edward. I scolded him for beating up Jeron. I just ended up sighing dahil wala na rin naman akong magawa. What is done is done.

I had a chance na maiwan na kami lang dalawa sa kwarto. Tulog na tulog pa rin siya. Halata yung burises niya sa mukha at sa gilid ng lips niya. In a snap I became so guilty sa ginawa ko, pero agad ko rin namang inalis yung guilt na naramdaman ko.

"Hindi ako pwedeng maawa sa iyo." I murmured as I looked at him lying on the hospital bed.

Linapitan ko siya. I sat on the empty seat na nasakabilang side ng kama niya. I reached for his hair and run my fingers.

"You've hurt me so much." I mumbled. "Kahit ang kasalanan ko lang naman ay mahalin ka."

"I loved you Jeron." I smiled bitterly. "But you just pushed me away."

"Now you have the popularity you've always wanted." I paused. "Masaya ka na ba?"

He moved, pero di pa rin nagising. I chuckled quietly as I took my hand back.

"Pero sorry ka na lang." I muttered. "Cause I'm going to be your worst nightmare."

I stood up but still I'm staring at him. "Because you've created a demon from an angel."

Mehehehe Oh ayan ha! May UD na.

Anyway, anggulo na yata ng story, di ko na masyado maintiindihan eh. Di bale, pag may time, babasahin ko ulit sa simula, baka nga may bauhin ako eh.

Okay, enough of my rants.
