When Teary Clouds Met Us (When Series #2)

Thirty- One

Chapter 31.

Sick.

"Hey? Are you okay?" I woke up in reality when Xoul suddenly snapped his hands infront of my eyes. I was looking nowhere and I think he noticed that.

"W- what?" wala sa sariling naitugon ko.

"You kept sighing, I am asking you if you are okay. You look pale, Weshia. You're making me worried." nag- iba ang tono ng pananalita niya, I let out a smile in my lips to make him sure that I am really fine.

"I am fine, Xoul. I was just thinking... something" sagot ko.

"And may I ask what is that something you are thinking? Nakatulala ka sa kawalan, alam mo bah 'yon?" I chuckled a little.

"I apologize sir," asar ko, napangiwi siya at tinitigan ako. "What? What's the meaning of that look?" ngiti- ngiti ko pang tanong. He looked away and looked at the vehicles outside passing in the restaurant.

"You are always like that when you think of your ex- bestfriend," I stopped and looked at him.

Simula noong namatay si Daddy ay si Xoul at Tessa ang naging kaagapay ko nang magsimula nang magtrabaho si Kuya Wesley sa company na itinayo ni Daddy. But I chose not to tell Tessa about Aiden, si Xoul lang ang sinabihan ko tungkol sa kaniya. At first, I was hesitating if I will tell him pero sa huli ay nakita ko nalang ang sarili kong umiiyak habang nagsasalita tungkol kay Aiden.

Tahimik lang siya at nakikinig, I thanked him for being there in my side kahit ang pangit- pangit ko na tingnan dahil sa pag- iyak. Gosh kung iisipin ko ulit kung paano ako umiyak sa harap niya, parang gusto ko nang magpalamon sa lupa!

"He's not my bestfriend, Xoul. Correction lang. He's just a passing friend of mine... iniwan niya rin ako sa huli."  iniwas ko ang paningin ko.

Tiim niya akong tiningnan saka tinitigan ang kamay ko.

"How many times do I have to tell you? Wala kang kasalanan sa pagkamatay ng Mommy niya--" I cut him off.

"But he's blaming me for her death, kahit anong paliwanag Xoul..." I looked at him full of sad emotions in my eyes. "Bulag na bulag siya sa sariling isipan niya na ako, ako ang may kasalanan."

"He is stupid then? Kung ganiyan lang rin naman ang nasa isipan niya, bobo na siya kung ganoon," umiling ako at tamad siyang tiningnan.

"No he's not stupid, Aiden is not stupid Xoul, keep that in mind." he rolled his eyes.

"So what? If I was on his foot, papatawarin kaagad kita. Every woman or girls has a soft side, pareha lang sa mga lalaki. Aksidente ang nangyari, wala kang kasalanan because you're only a victim of that explosion so keep this in your mind, huwag mong isisi lahat sa sarili mo kung may mangyari mang masama,"  I felt happy na kahit ganoon man, he's still giving me advices.

"Yes sir..." inirapan niya ulit ako, he was about to say something when our food is already served by a waiter and a waitress.

Sinimulan galawin ang pagkain ko nang makita kong natigilan si Xoul sa pagnguya. He's facing on the entrance of the restaurant, his mouth formed an 'o' but his browd furrowed. What's his problem?

I tried to look on what he is looking at parang nagulo ata ang sistema ng buong utak ko nang makita si Aiden na kasama si Reanne and wait! May isa pa silang kasama na lalaki na pamilyar sa mga mata ko. Wearing a black office suit with a red necktie, Aiden looked really hot. Weshia! Tigil- tigilan mo 'yang isipan mo!
