Chapter 3

"Are you okay man?" iyon ang narinig ni Val. "hey miss, are you okay? Are you hurt?" tinig na nagpakilabot sa buong pagkatao niya. Tinignan niya kung saan galing ang boses na iyon at pagangat ng mukha niya ay hindi niya napigilang mapangiti. Diyos ko, nasa heaven na ba ko? Ang gwapo naman ng angel na ipinadala niyo sakin. Sa isip ni Val. Inulit ng gwapong angel este estranghero ang pagtatanong kung ayos lang ba siya. "Aray!!" si Val. "Where does it hurt? Tell me." kita ni Val ang worry sa gwapong mukha ng angel niya. "here." sabay hawak sa kanyang bukong bukong. "You must have twisted your ankle." sabi ng "angel" ni Val. Tumango si Val habang nakangiwi. "I'm going to twist it back, so that it will be back to normal, it will be painful, but we have to do this ok?" the "angel" said. "whaaat?!" no, please!!" lumuluhang sabi ni Val.

"Keith, you owe me right?" sabi ni Olan. "yes man, i really owe you big time. So what do you want now?" sabi ni Keith. "Man, all i want is for you to forget all about Amanda, she looks happy because you look miserable, don't you see? You should enjoy, have fun, with that, Amanda won't see you miserable and i think thats the best revenge, to be happy." paliwanag ni Olan. "Yeah man, you're right, damn, i really owe you big time. Thanks Olan, you're really my best friend." sabi ni Keith. "Hey guys, look, they're dancing, lets join them. It looks fun. Lets go!!" si Harry,isa pa nilang kaibigan at kagrupo. Nagpunta ang grupo sa mga nagsasayawan. "Hey, Keith, isn't that the girl you were watching a while ago?" si Olan. Napatingin si Keith sa tinuro ni Olan at napangiti habang pinapanood ang dalagang sumasayaw. He is mesmarized by how good she dances. Lumapit si Keith sa dalaga at.. "Miss!!" natapilok ang dalaga sa isang bato na hindi niya napansin. Nasalo niya ang dalaga ngunit pati siya ay na out of balance kay sabay silang bumagsak, ng dalaga. "Are you okay man?" si Olan. "hey miss, are you okay? Are you hurt?" tanong ni Keith sa dalaga. Keith was not just mesmarized by her dancing skills, but also by her eyes, almond shaped and brown in color, it looks like when those eyes looks at you it pierced right through you. Its very beautiful, so mysterious. She smiled, her eyes looking dreamily, from dark brown to lighter brown. He asked again if anything happened to her. "Aray!" she said. "Where does it hurt? Tell me." he said. "here!" pointing in her ankle. She must have twisted her ankle. Damn. Sa isip ni Keith. "You must have twisted your ankle." Keith. She nodded, pain across her beautiful face. ""I'm going to twist it back, so that it will be back to normal, it will be painful, but we have to do this ok?" I said. "whaaat?!" no, please!!" tears coming from her beautiful eyes. "but we really have to do it miss or else you' ll be having a bigger problem and it will be more painful. Si Kevin. Terror and pain in her beautiful face. "Okay, lets do this, Olan he's my friend, he's going to twist your ankle while i hold you? You can punch me, pinch me, anything just to divert the pain while Olan twist it back, is that ok with you?" convincing her. "Are you sure? You wont let me go while he twist my ankle back? Please, Im scared." she said crying. "Yes, i promise!" I said assuring her, i wanted to take her pain away, i wanted to wipe away those tears forming in her beautiful eyes. "Okay!" she said smiling. She really is beautiful, especially when she smiles. "Then lets do it fast so it will be finish soon." i assured her again, smiling, my brightest smile. Man, this is my first time smiling again after Amanda and I broke up. Hinawakan ni Keith ang kamay ni Val, "okay, Im going to twist it fast, dont worry, well, im experienced with it coz it happens often on athletes." paliwanag ng lalaking nangangalang Olan. "then do it fast please." sabi ni Val, sabay yakap sa "angel" ng buhay niya. "Everything's going to be alright." bulong ni Keith sabay halik sa noo ni Val. "there, your ankles okay now." pukaw ni Olan. "Huh? Ta--tapos na?" si Val na hindi makapaniwala. Ngumiti si Keith at sinabing "Stand up, lets see if it still hurts." inoffer ni Keith ang kamay niya para maitayo si Val. "Wow, wala na ngang sakit, ang galing!" tumatalong sabi ni Val. "thank you!" sabi niya kay Olan. "Thank you also for saving me and distracting me from the pain." namumulang sabi ni Valerie. "You're welcome." si Keith. "Valerie? Okay ka lang?" sina Jessa at Ildy. "uy, oo, ayos lang ako, na tapilok lang ako, pero ok na ko ngayon." nakangiting sabi ni Val sa mga kaibigan. "ikaw naman talagang babae ka, hindi ka kasi nagiingat ee, alam mong may pagka clumsy ka ee." sermon ni Ildy. "Diba Jessa? Clumsy tong c Val." siko ni Ildy kay Jessa. "Haahh!!" ngangang sabi ni Jessa. "Uy, Jessa, ok ka lang?" tanong ni Val, "para kang nanuno diyan ah." "Bu--Bu--Black---Black Pa--pa--Panther." breathless na sabi ni Jessa. "Ano?!" duet ni Ildy at Val. "Miss dont forget to breath." si Kevin kay Jessa. "Oh, shes one of your fans. And shes soo dying to meet and greet you all in person." si Val. "ohh." Hi, I'm Kevin, this is Charles, Olan, Harry and Keith. You are?" "I-I-Im Je-Je-.. Shes, Jessa, Im Ildy and this is Valerie or Val for short. Nice meeting you all. And thank you for whatever you've done fot Val." Singit ni Ildy. "Hey, they're the famous Black Panther right?"sabi ng isang babae habang turo ang direksyon sa pwesto nila. Dahil doom nagsimula na ang mga taong puntahan sila, hinatak ni Ildy si Val at Jessa palayo dahil baka magka stampede. Starstruck pa dim si Jessa at si Valerie naman ay mukhang malayo ang isip. Sa isip ni Ildy. Iba ang tingin ni Val sa Keith na iyon, akala ko ay hindi niya tipo ang mga ganun, tsk tsk. Mukhang crush na din niya ang Keith na yun, sabagay, gwapo talaga siya at maamo ang mukha. Pero mas type ko iyong Kevin. Tsk tsk. Tama na nag ilusyon, nalapasan lang kami ng gutom dahil past lunch na. "Girls, gising na, malayo na tayo sa ilusyon. Back to reality na tayo." si Ildy. At doon nga bumalik ang wisyo ni Valerie, si Jessa naman ee medyo out of trance pa, pero niyugyog siya ni Valerie at Ildy. Naglakad ang tatlo at humanap ng makakainan, pagkatapos kumain ay nagkayayaan ang tatlong magswimming sa dagat. "Black Panther!!" turo ni Jessa sa isang mesa na malapit sa beach napinuwestuhan nila. Pinagkakaguluhan ang Black Panther. Napakaraming mga babae ang nakapalibot sa kanila. "grabe naman tong mga bruhang to, hindi ba obvious na naiirita ang lahat, lalo na si Keith." Si Jessa. "Anu kaya kung kidnapin natin sila, para itago sa mga yan?" Si Jessa uli. Ahhah, tama ang sabi ni Jessa, kailangan ko kidnappin si Keith para makapagpasalamat na din ako. Hindi kasi ako nakapgpasalamat ng maayos. Isip ni Val. "Tara!" Si Val. Nagulat ang dalawa. "Hi, Keith, Im Rica, i really like you!" Kumandong pa kay Keith. Nasaktan si Val, impossible nga naman magkagusto sa kanya si Keith, porket ba hinalikan sa noo ee love na agad. Ilusyonada ka talaga Valerie. Sa isip ni Val. Anyways, gusto ko lang naman magpasalamat ee, baka nga matuwa pa siya sa gagawin ko. Sa isip uli ni Val. "ahhm, excuse me Miss!" kalabit ni Val sa babaeng nagngangalang Rica. "yes?" tanong ni Rica. "May problema ka ba? Ako kasi ang kadate ni Keith ee." si Rica uli. "Back off bitch!! Ako ang kadate ni Keith, nag cr lang kasi ako kaya hindi mo siguro nakita, basta ka na lang kandong ng kandong." Naiiritang sabi ni Val. Sabay hatak kay Keith at tumakbo! Saan kaya sila dadalhin ng kapalaran?
