CHAPTER 28: Gab and Terrence
Gab's POV
Nandito na kami ngayon sa kwarto ni Shane. Nakapagready na din kami para matulog. Marami rami din yung nainom niya kaya alam kong nahihilo na siya.
"Dyan ka na sa kama matulog. Dito na lang ako sa sofa" sabi ko sa kanya
"Ha? No. I'll stay there. This is your house so--"
"It's okay. Pwede ka naman dyan matulog"
"Let's just sleep here together. I'll just put a pillow in between"
"If you insist"
Parehas na kaming umupo sa kama. Alam ko na nahihiya siya sakin.
"Shane--"
"Wait, where's my phone? I think I left my phone downstairs. I'll go check on it first. I'll be back"
Tumayo na siya at lumapit sa pinto pero hindi niya yun mabuksan kaya nilapitan ko siya kaagad.
"Anong problema?" tanong ko
"This door.. is locked. Do something"
Nung sinubukan ko buksan, nakalock nga. Sa tingin ko, alam ko na kung bakit. Sa umpisa pa lang, planado na to nina Steven.
"Sa tingin ko, sinaraduhan nila tayo"
"Why would they do such a thing?! So frustrating. I'm expecting a call"
"from Terrence?"
"Yes. I give up. I think that they really like us to be together again so they're doing this"
Tumayo na siya at umupo sa kama at mukhang naiinis na. Hindi ko alam kung nakakatulong ba yung ginagawa nina Steven o nakakasama pa -__-
"Gab, let's talk. You can sit here beside me"
Lumapit ako sa kanya at umupo sa tabi niya. Nakatingin lang siya sa malayo at mukhang may iniisip.
"Shane-"
"Gab-"
"You go first" sabi ko
"No, you go first"
"Pagpasensyahan mo na sila. Ganun talaga yung mga yun. Mga matchmaker. Tingnan mo tuloy. Sila sila din yung nagkakagustuhan"
"I noticed that. Okay lang. Are they really like that even before? Makulit sila, sobra. Especially sina Steven and Spencer. They're like twins"
"Ganun talaga sila. In fact, they improved a little. Mas makulit sila dati kumpara noon. Buti nga nagmature na sila kahit papano"
"Ah, I see. Hm, aren't you sleepy yet?"
"Hindi pa. Ikaw? Baka inaantok ka na"
"I'm not. Gising na gising ako actually"
"May gusto ka bang inumin?"
"Ha? Why?"
"Gusto mo ng juice o ano?"
"Do you have something like alcoholic drinks?"
"Meron. Beer, okay lang?"
"Sure"
Tumayo ako at kumuha ako ng in-can na beer sa ref at binigay yun sa kanya. Oo, may ref ako sa kwarto. Tamad kasi ako minsan kumilos.
"Here" sabay abot ko sa kanya ng beer
"Thanks"
Umupo ako sa sofa at sumunod din naman siya. Nasa magkabilang dulo lang kami.
"Do you remember getting drunk before?" tanong ko sa kanya
"How can I remember such thing?"
"I was just asking"
Nanahimik na lang ako. Kung ano ano na lang naiisip ko na tanong para lang makausap siya -___-
"Gab" mahinang sabi niya
"Bakit?"
"I can only remember a bit about us. And with those memories, there is no memory on how we became close. All I can remember is naiinis ako sayo for being so masungit"
"Do you really want to know?"
"Will I ask if I don't. I'm just kidding. Please tell me why"
"Well, it started with an agreement"
"Agreement?"
"Ng parents natin. Close yung parents natin kaya naisipan nila na ipagkasundo tayo"
"What do you mean na ipagkasundo? Don't tell me that they are planning an arranged marriage before"
"It is an arranged marriage. Parehas natin na ayaw nun pero simula nung 16th birthday mo, nagkasundo tayo na panindigan na at subukan"
"Then I became your girlfriend?"
"No. Matagal pa bago kita naging girlfriend. Hindi ka kasi makaget over kay Zeke noon tapos nung okay ka na, dumating si Terrence na nakapagpagulo pa lalo pero sinagot mo pa din naman ako. Ang dami kong hirap para lang mapa-oo ka"
"Really? It's just like now"
Napatingin ako sa kanya at nginitian niya lang ako. Hinawakan niya naman yung isang kamay ko at tumingin ng deretso sakin.
"Gab, listen. I know that you've been through a lot these years and you're working hard just for me to remember everything. You don't need to push yourself too hard. I will definitely remember evrything at the right time so you don't really need to suffer anymore because of me. I thank you for doing that. You should stop wasting your time on me. There are still other things that are more important. I don't want to be a pain to you, please understand. You can stop now"
"Shane"
"I'm very happy because you're making me feel like I'm important but its already bothering me. I'm asking you for a favor. Have fun and don't limit yourself, okay?"
"Yan ba talaga ang gusto mo?"
"Yes, Gab. If something is really bound to happen, it will. I believe in fate"
"As you wish"
"Aaah!"
Nagulat ako kasi bigla siyang kumapit sa braso ko at mukhang takot na takot. Biglang namatay yung ilaw. Nawalan siguro ng kuryente. Ang wrong timing naman oh. Umuulan din sa labas.
"Gab, I'm scared of the dark"
"Alam ko yun Shane. Wag kang magalala. Hindi kita iiwan"
Tatayo sana ako pero bigla niya akong hinila.
"Where are you going?" tanong niya
"You're shivering. May sakit ka ba?"
Hinawakan ko yung noo niya at nilalagnat siya. Kanina siguro to nung nagpaulan kami.
"Nilalagnat ka. Sandali lang, kukuha lang ako ng tubig"
"No, I'm okay. Dito ka lang"
"Sige"
Nakakapit lang siya sa braso ko at nakasandal yung ulo niya sa balikat ko.
"Shane"
"Hm"
"Yung tungkol kay Terrence, wala na ba talaga kayo?"
"Yes, that's true. Gab, it really hurts. I've been with him for 3 years now. We were bound to marry each other but everything was put to an end"
"Magpahinga ka na Shane"
"Am I lacking? You! You're the reason on why he did this to me. If it wasn't because of you, this won't happen"
Nagsimula na siyang umiyak at tinanggal niya na yung kamay niya sa braso ko at umupo siya ng maayos.
"Mahal mo ba talaga siya Shane?"
"Of course. He is like family to me"
"Hindi kaya mahal mo lang siya ng parang kapatid? Ikaw na din nagsabi na--"
"Of course not!"
"Ano ang pagkakakilala mo sa kanya?"
"I find him as a husband material. He's almost perfect. He has a good heart. He took care of me. He never made me cry. He makes me happy. I really love me"
"Tama na Shane! Tama na! Puro magaganda lang naririnig ko. Wala ba siyang flaws?"
"Wala. Why?"
"Masama siyang tao"
"How could you say that?!"
Nagagalit ako. Hindi ko alam kung gaano karaming kasinungalingan yung sinabe niya kay Shane. Oo, malaki yung utang na loob ng lahat sa kanya dahil kung hindi niya nakuha si Shane noon, nasa sasakyan pa siguro siya nung sumabog iyon. Malaki yung naitulong niya pero mali pa din na nagsinungaling siya kay Shane. Pinapalabas niya lang na kaya niya ginagawa iyon, ay dahil sa gusto niya protektahan si Shane. Lagi niyang pinapakita na siya yung mabait sa harap ni Shane pero alam ko na madamot siya.
"Gab, answer me! Why are you being like this?! What's wrong with you?!"
Hinawakan ko siya sa balikat at tumingin ako sa kanya ng deretso.
"Tama na Jin. Masyado ka ng matagal na nabubuhay sa kasinungalingan"
"What do you mean?"
"Si Terrence, kilala ko na siya noon pa. Oo, mabait siya pero may mga masama siyang ugali. Alam mo kung bakit hindi mo nakikita? Kasi nabubulag ka sa mga maganda niyang ginawa sayo"
"Gab, I know that you want me back but you don't have to do this. You don't need to ruin his image"
"Hindi ko yun ginagawa. Kung hindi ka man mapupunta sakin, okay lang. Wag na wag ka lang mapunta sa kanya. Pagisipan mo yung mga sinabi ko"
Binitawan ko na siya at umupo na lang ako ulit ng maayos.
"Gab, hindi kita maintindihan"
"Kapag bumalik na lahat ng alaala mo, maiintindihan mo ako"
"I-if you say so"
Sumandal na lang siya sa balikat ko at nanahimik na lang kami munang dalawa.
"Shane"
"hm?"
"I'm.." tumingin ako sa kanya pero mukhang inaantok na siya "still in love with you"
Hinalikan ko siya sa noo at saka ko siya binuhat papunta sa kama para makatulog ng maayos.
Naniniwala pa din ako na makalimutan man ng tao lahat ng alaala niya, hindi niya makakalimutan yung nararamdaman niya. Siguro nadadala lang siya. I'm still willing to wait until her memories come back. Hindi ako susuko sayo Jin. Matagal kong hinintay to kaya hindi ko to palalagpasin lalo na at wala na kayo ni Terrence.
Shane's POV
Nagising ako ng wala ng tao sa kwarto at nung sinubukan kong lumabas, hindi na din nakalock yung pinto kaya lumabas na ako at nakita ko si KL sa sala.
"KL"
"Oh bessy, you're already awake"
"Where are they?"
"Umalis na sila lahat. May mga pasok pa kasi sa trabaho. Tayong dalawa na lang nandito"
"How about you? Aren't you working?"
"No. I was supposed to go back to Korea but since you're alive, I'm still staying here. Sa susunod, samahan mo ako maghanap ng matitirhan na apartment"
"Sure. I'll just get dressed para makaalis na tayo dito"
"Okay"
I went upstairs and changed my clothes then I hurried back down to where KL is.
"Have you seen my phone?" tanong ko kay KL
"Here"
Pagkakuha ko ng phone ko, I immediately checked and it's different from what I expected. There are no calls from Terrence.
"KL, let's go home. I brought my car with me. I'll send you off"
"Okay Jin"
I was driving when I felt like asking KL some questions.
"KL, bakit nila ginawa yun? They locked us in one room"
"They just want you and Gab together again but it doesn't seem like it. May nangyari ba na hindi maganda?"
"No. It's just that, I'm wondering why he's not giving up"
"He just loves you. Try giving him a chance too. I'm sure that you will not regret it"
It seems like gustong gusto talaga nila na makita kami ni Gab na okay. Botong boto sila kay Gab. Bakit kaya hindi kay Terrence? Is it true that he has a bad side of him?
