Wave The Tulips (Genus Rosa Series #1)- Completed

Chapter 26

Dire-diretso akong kumain, di makatingin sa kanya. I got embarrassed for doing that to him.. never knew.. he would be the one, who brought a flower to me. But I was mentally confused, why did he bring me like that'? At alam to ni dad.. kaya sya nangingiti sa akin kanina.

Ngumuso ako.. ngunit hindi mapinta ang galit at sakit sa aking mukha. Long years have passed.. but it still hurts me, hindi na ako sigurado ngayon kung gusto ko pa nga ba sya.. pero yung tibok nito.. ay nagpapatunay na ganon nga.

Nagpasalamat ako kay slyke nang pumasok sya sa room na yon, he's over smiling at us, with waven. Kaso.. napalitan ng ngiwi ang ngiti ko.. dahil umalis agad sya, pagkatapos dalhin ang iba pang mga i-n-order ni waven.

"Can we talk'?" He said coldly.. after the silence between us.

Hindi ako tumingin sa kanya.. ngunit sya ay nakatitig sa akin.

I chuckled in a small tone. "What should we talk'? Wala naman tayong dapat pag usapan diba'?" Hindi ko pinapakita sa kanya ang pinapakita ng mga mata ko... I want to change the topic. "By the way.. how's your cousin's'? I saw their pictures last time in social media." Wala na ibang ma topic.

He clench his jaw and stared at me darkly. Same as his mouth parted, like he wants to say something but it didn't come. Medyo napahiya naman ako.. kasi wala syang sinabi. I close my mouth to stop.

He didn't want me to ask.. how are they couzin are'? Bakit'? Ano na naman ang ginawa nina Zaire at aiden'?

"Why are you asking me.. how's my cousin's'?" He look away. Malamig parin ang pananalita.

Napatitig naman ako, ngayon ko lang nakita ang pagbabago ng kanyang katawan at ang mukha nang maayos.

"Nothing.. Um, matagal ko na silang di n-nakita eh."

I saw how he bit his lip. "What about me'? You're not asking me... if I am okay'? Just... how are you'?" He looks in pain. "Matagal rin naman tayong hindi nagkita ah'!" Dagdag na sabi nya.

Umawang ang labi ko at natigilan. My heart races for his dramatical concerned by me. Parang nasasaktan din ako sa tono ng pananalita nya.. kaso naisip ko, na baka magkasintahan na sila ni Nathalie, so it does not have to with me.. anymore.

Silence came for us in a second, waven didn't say any thing.. just a heavy sighed I've heard. Tama nga naman sya, bakit ang mga couzin nya lang ang tinanong ko. It's seems unfair to him.

Okay. "So.. h-how have you been.. this long time'?" I said confidentially. "W-With your girlfriend'?" I'm not sure if really he has a girlfriend.. nag babakasakali lang.. baka tama ako.

Then.. he look at me sharply. Makikita sa mga mata nya ang pagtataka.. at nakakunot pa ang noo. In first.. when I ask how is he... his lips twisted a small smile.. but it faded with the last on my word.

"I don't have a girlfriend. Who are you referring to'?"

Really'? (◍•ᴗ•◍) "Bakit naman wala'? Eh' paano—" Pinutol nya ang sasabihin ko sana.

"Do you want me to have a girlfriend'?" Mahinang sabi nya.

Eh'? Bakit ako pa ang magdedesisyon'? Wala talaga syang girlfriend'? I don't believe.. he doesn't have one.  Naalala ko ang araw ng auction, they're kissing and I saw that.. clearly, so why deny it'? Liar.

Nararamdaman ko ang saya sa kalooban ko.. pero binalewala ko yon. Magsasalita na non ako.. ngunit inunahan nya na ko.

"Bakit ka umalis nong araw na yon'? Even..." He stopped. "Without... saying goodbye to me, if only I did know about it.. I'll come with you"

"What'? S-Sasama ka sa akin'?" Nailang ako sa kanya at umiwas ng tingin.

Tumango sya sa akin.. at tinitigan ako. "Yeah but..."

Hmm.. but'? Kailangan nya pa bang sumama'? Galit ako sa kanya noon.. paano ko sya mapapasama sa akin'? And what he said.. parang nagdadalawang isip sya na gawin yon... and I know what reason it is.

"You don't have to come with me, you're nothing..."

Saglit syang natigilan at tumango'ng umiwas ng tingin. Sexily, as he bit his lower lip again, it caught my attention.. so I stared at it. He looks like seducing.. who's beside him, and It's me. His red lips.. plastered my mind, and made me gulp.

I remembered our first kiss in their mansion, his lips is so soft and gentle, as he kiss me. It shocked me through my imagine... why I looked away.

"Evenly.. you don't want to, I want to.. but I can't come with you, because—"

"Because you're busy..." kissing Nathalie.

Hindi ko tinuloy yon.. kasi magmumukha akong parang nagseselos, at ayaw kong isipin ni waven yon.

"Yeah I'm busy... " Wow'! Harap harapan pa nya talaga tong sinabi sa akin. "I can't leave yet.. cuz my deal with Nathalie is not done yet."

Mapakla akong natawa. See'? I am right.. he likes it. He likes the way.. that b*tch kissing him.. and.. they have a deal.. just what I thought.

"What deal'? Para pabagsakin ang kompanya namin'?" Agad na sabi ko.. na ikinagulat nya. Tatayo sana sya nang pigilan ko, gamit ang baso sa harap ng kamay.

"Fuck..." Hindi nya pinansin ang baso.. at agaran na lumapit sa akin. The way he hold my chin, as he wipe my tears.. that I didn't notice. Nag aalala ang mukha nyang nakatitig sa akin. "What are you saying'? Hindi ko hahayaang bumagsak ang kompanya nyo, Hindi ko magagawa yon.. kaya ko pinigilan si Nathalie." Malambing na sabi nya.

Gusto kong pumikit dahil sa haplos nya.. ngunit ako naman ang nagulat sa sinabi nya. Stopping Nathalie from what'? Ha'! Hinawi ko ang kamay nya.. kahit gusto ko pa nang haplos nya.

"Stop it'! I don't want to believe you... anymore." No. That's not true, hindi ako nagk-kamali. "I saw you..." I pointed at him, he only stared at my eyes. "You two are kissing in the bathroom. Ano'? Magsisinungaling ka pa ba sakin'?"

Nabigla ako.. dahil ibinaba nya ang kamay ko at hinawakan yon ng mahigpit. He then.. smirked at me. Ano naman kinangisi ngisi nya don'? Anong nakakatawa'?

"W-Why a-are... you—'?"

"You saw that'?" I look away. "That was a set up we planned.. for her. That kiss is not true, were just having a conversation about our fake deal... I've recorded it."

"How.. can you say that it was true, huh'?" May pumatak na naman'g luha mula sa akin. I was about to wipe it...

"Baby don't cry..." Pinahid nya ulit yon. "You don't have to worry about that.. because she and her family.. is in a jail right now." My eyes widened, is that true'?

"Really'?"

"Weeks.. after they got arrested for their wrong doings, wala ka na dito"

"Y-You mean... 4 years na silang namamalagi sa kulungan'?"

He nodded. "Yes." Bigla akong napangiti sa narinig. It's my pleasure to became true.. of what my mom wishes. "Kahit masaya ako sa araw na yon.. hindi ako kumpleto..." Dagdag nya.

"Why'?" Nag aalinlangan ako.. pero tinanong ko pa din.

"Because you left me... just because you taught I kiss Nathalie... mabuti na lang at sinabi sa akin ni Sunny kung nasaan ka ngayon." He sighed. "Hindi naman malaking problema sa akin ang pagpunta mo rito.. dahil nandito ang dad mo. I.. I can't stop myself from missing you... all the time"
