Cassidy

THIRTY-FOUR ♧ BETWEEN LINES ♧

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR

BENEDICT

"Hindi na muna ako sasama siguro. I'll stay with Via muna." Cassidy said. Bakit before, sobrang dali lang isipin na sasama si Cassidy kay Via? Bakit ngayon, simpleng pagtango lang hindi ko magawa?

"Love, is there something wrong?" Sabi ni Cassidy and napatingin naman ako sa kanya and I nodded.

"So is it okay if kasama ko muna si Via?" She asked again and I nodded. She smiled and then nagpaalam na and umalis na agad agad. Ever since sinabi sakin ni Justine yon, hindi na ako mapalagay. Nagiging paranoid na ako. Gusto kong pagbawalan si Cassidy. Gusto ko siya makita 24/7. Gusto ko siyang bantayan but I can't. Ayako namang masakal sakin si Cassidy. Ayako ring sabihin niya na controlling ako. As much as possible, gusto ko iparamdam sa kanya na kahit kami, may sarili pa rin siyang buhay kasi ganon yung ginagawa niya sakin. Hinahayaan niya lang ako kapag may gusto akong gawin and hindi siya involved don.

"Bro." Napatingin ako sa nagsalita and it's Justine. He tapped my shoulders.

"Akala ko ba kasama nating maglunch si Cassidy?" He asked and I just shrugged. Napa-iling naman siya. Alam ko na agad ang meaning niya.

"Bro, let's not include Cassidy with your mess with Via. Mahal ko si Cassidy and I trust her. I trust her big time, okay?" Sabi ko sa kanya and nakatingin lang sakin si Justine. More like, nakatitig. Ina-analyze niya yung facial expression ko as well as what I just said. I sighed.

"Bro, bakit ganon? Iba na rin yung pakiramdam ko? Dahil lang sa sinabi mo, iba na rin naging tingin ko sa mga bagay bagay. I know this sounds stupid but I feel like Via's really doing something and isinasama niya pa si Cassidy." I have to tell Justine kung anong nararamdaman ko. This will kill me if hindi ko to sasabihin sa kanya and Justine is one of my best friends. I know I can trust him with this dahil mukhang iisa naman ang ginagawa ng girlfriends namin.

"Instincts, bro. And mukhang same na rin tayo ng iniisip." Sabi ni Justine and he tapped my shoulders. I looked at him.

"A lot has changed, man. I mean, she used to tell me she loves me before niya ako iwan sa isang place or something. But now, mukhang ayaw niya man lang ako makita and she couldn't stand me even for a minute. The moment she saw me, sinabi niya agad na hindi siya maglu-lunch kasama natin. Hindi manlang ako binati." I said and he's nodding.

"I get you, bro. Believe me, ganyan din sakin si Via simula nung nalaman ko na she's having an affair with whomsoever. Ni hindi manlang niya ako matingnan sa mata." Sabi ni Justine and I nodded aggressively. Ganon na ganon sakin si Cassidy.

"Bro, ayako man sabihin to pero a part of me, naniniwala talaga sayo kasi yun din yung nararanasan ko." Sabi ko kay Justine and he just tapped my shoulders.

"Bro, I hate to say this but we can't trust anyone right now. We just need to be cautious especially sa mga actions nilang pinapakita satin." Sabi ni Justine. I agree. I totally agree.

"And hindi lang yon. If may time tayo, sundan na rin natin sila. Kailangan nating makakuha ng proofs and informations dito sa mga ginagawa nila satin." He added and I nodded without any hesitation. I feel like this is so stupid knowing na pinag-iisipan ko nang masama si Cassidy but I can't help it. May mga bagay talaga na hindi natin gustong isipin but hindi natin mapipigilan. Isa na rito ang magdoubt sa loyalty and faithfulness ni Cassidy.

Cassidy

"Cassie." Tawag sakin ni Via and I smiled at her. Judging by her looks, alam kong bothered and stress na talaga si Via.
