Miss Glamorous and I

Briella's PoV

What am I supposed to do with this guy?! Geez.

"A-ano mam... kaya ko naman mag-isa... if you want you can leave na din naman po-"

"And what? Mapalayas lang din sa bahay?" Inis na sambit ko

"S-sorry mam... hindi na ho ako mangengealam" sambit niya laying back down habang nakatalikod sakin

I sighed. Natatarayan ko na naman siya kahit hindi dapat. Briella ano ba?!

I inched my way to his bed when I heard him mumbling

"Tanga tanga mo imik ka pa ano natarayan kang Lance ka tch matulog na nga lang ako para di awkward"

"Uhm. E-excuse me" sambit ko kaya napalingon siya but he immediately sat up nang makita niyang malapit ako

"Mam! A-aww!" Daing niya holding on his head

"H-hey what's happening?!"

"M-medyo nahilo lang ho nabigla ata" sambit niyang nakapikit pa rin

"Here... uhm lay back down... you don't need to sit up talking to me" Sambit ko sabay alalay sa kanya para makahiga siya ulit

"Salamat ho... pasensiya na mam..."

"No... I... I should be the one sorry"

"Ho?"

"Ako may kasalanan ng nangyari sayo... I'm sorry"

"N-nako mam hindi ho! Ako naman ho nagpabaya sa sarili ko mam"

"Because of the schedule I gave you. So technically it's my fault... I'm sorry"

"Mam okay lang ho talaga..."

I looked up at him only to see him smiling at me

"Alam ko naman hong mahal niyo tong propesyon na to and I bet mas malala pa dito naranasan niyo just to be where you are... so wala ho talagang may kasalanan"

"You're making me feel more guilty than I already am..."

"Nako mam... wag na kayo mag-alala" sambit niya waving his hands in front of me "sumaya pa nga po ako sa pagpunta niyo dito"

"What?"

"Ano... I mean ah... hehe"

"Hindi ka talaga nagalit saken?"

"Hindi mam" direchong sagot niya saken

"May gusto lang ako itanong"

"Itanong?"

"Oho"

"Ano yun?"

"Kayo ho ba, okay ho kayo?"

I was shocked hearing that question... maliban sa pamilya ko at sa mga tiyahin ko walang ibang umaalam kung okay ako...

Siya pa lang ang una

"Hindi niyo na ho kailangan sagutin. Alam ko na ho hehe. Ipagdarasal ko ho na sana kung ano man yang bigat na nararamdaman niyo mapakawalan niyo na. So... you can live happier."

"Ikaw? I-ipagdarasal mo ko?"

"Opo mam! Promise!"

"Why?"

"Anong why?"

"Why are you doing this?"

"Hmm kasi mam alam kong kailangan mo" sambit niya smiling at me. Hindi ko alam may namuo na palang luha sa mata ko sa sinabi niya

"Mam? Okay ka lang ba talaga?"

"Y-yes. Ano napuwing lang. m-maghihilamos lang ako" sambit ko running towards the bathroom

"What the heck is happening with me?" Mahinang sambit ko sa sarili ko seeing the tears falling on my own face bago ako naghilamos para mawala yun.

I was staring at myself in the mirror nang may marinig akong sound from inside the room

Lift your head

Baby don't be scared

Of the things that could go wrong along the way

You'll get by with a smile

You can't win at everything but you can try

I opened the bathroom door only to see him asleep habang mahinang tumutunog ang selpon niya sa tabi niya

Baby, you don't have to worry

'Cause there ain't no need to hurry

No one ever said that there's an easy way

When they're closing all their doors

They don't want you anymore

This sounds funny but I'll say it anyway

Girl, I'll stay through the bad times

Even if I have to fetch you everyday

We'll get by with a smile

You can never be too happy in this life

"Thank you..." mahinang sambit ko sa natutulog na si Lance. He may have done it purposely or no... pero the song just got right through me.
