T.L. Ako Sa'yo

Chapter 39 (My fate)

Arkin's POV

Her phone rang but she just stared at it and gave me that look, that look she has everytime Trev calls her. I know it's Trev. There's this look in her eyes telling me that it's him. Ayaw niyang sagutin ang phone niya infront of me. Probably because Trev doesn't want to talk to me at all.

"You'll not gonna answer it?" tanong ko.

"Ah, hindi. Yung kaklase ko ito. Makulit kasi. Baka may itatanong lang ulit." tugon niya and put away her phone.

"Madidischarge ka ba ngayon?"

"Ah, baka bukas pa."

"Ah, okay."

"Seriously, hindi mo na kailangang manatili pa dito. I know you have other things to do. Just take your time to relax habang sembreak pa." she said.

"It's okay. Tapos na ang bakasyon. I just came from Batangas." I said.

"Batangas? Edi pumunta kayo ulit sa resthouse nina Drew? You came all the way here? Naku, sorry. Naabala ko pa tuloy ang bakasyon niyo."

"Shhh. Stop saying sorry okay. I said okay lang. Just rest para makauwi ka na. Kapag nalaman ng mama mo ito, I'm sure mag-aalala na naman siya." I said.

"Sorry talaga ha."

I tapped her shoulder.

"Stop saying that." I said then she smiled.

"By the way, birthday mo na pala ulit."

"Birthday." I said. I don't even celebrate my birthday. It's just lola who wants to celebrate it every year. All I get is a gift from dad and a call from mom. Nothing more.

"Pati ba naman birthday mo hindi mo na sini-celebrate?"

"What's to celebrate?" I asked.

"Come on Arkin, it's your birthday. Don't be harsh on yourself. Give yourself a break. You deserve it."

"Thank you Yana. I'll try to celebrate it this year." I said as I heard my phone ringing. It's Thia. I forgot to text her when I got here.

"Excuse me. I'll just take this call." I said to Yana and then I got out of the room.

[Hello.]

[Nakarating ka na ba? Bakit hindi ka nagreply? May nangyari ba? Ilang beses na akong nagtext sayo ah.] sunod-sunod na tanong niya.

[Miss troublemaker, calm down, pwede isa-isa lang?] reklamo ko.

[Kasi naman po, ilang oras na kayong hindi nagpaparamdam. Kanina pa po ako naghihintay ng reply niyo.]

[I'm sorry. I just got here a while ago. I'm fine.]

[Eh si Yana, kamusta siya?] she asked.

[Okay na rin siya, she will be discharged tomorrow.] I said.

[Ah, o-okay.]

[What's with that tone?] I asked. It seems like she likes to ask something.

[Bakit?]

[May sasabihin ka pa ba?]

[Ha? Wala naman. Sige, mag-iingat ka diyan. Pupuntahan ko lang si PJ.]

[Okay, take care pag-uwi niyo bukas ha.]

[Oo. See you sa Monday.] she said.

[Okay.]
