The Fanboy's Star [SB19 JoshTin fanfic]

Ikalabing siyam na Kabanata : A'TINITE

JUSTIN

Athena told me in a text that the rumor spread to the whole dorm.Kahit na sinabi kong walang namamagitan sa amin ni Rj,dahil sa dami ng nadaanan ng balita sa huli lumabas din na kami nga daw dalawa.

"Ikaw kasi eh."

"What?y'know just let them think we're together,"tatawa tawang sagot niya habang nagmamaneho.Kakaalis lang namin mula sa dorm.

"Like I would let that.Go clear things out."

"Why?It's destiny's way of preparing us for the future."

Kung hindi lang siya nagmamaneho baka nabatukan ko na siya.I just gone from a break up and he's already talking about the future.

Napailing na lang ako at hindi na siya sinagot.I stared putside the car and saw a familiar route

"Wait.Ihinto mo muna dito."

Nagtataka niya akong tinignan pero inihinto rin niya ang kotse ng makahanap ng pwedeng hihintuan."What is it?"

"May kakamustahin lang ako."

I reached her shop.I can feel Rj's presence behind me.And I know while following me he's recognising the area.We've been here once together after all.I don't know how many times he comes here though but I can feel he's familiar cause he's not asking.

"Ate Chona kamusta po?"bati ko at sumilip sa tindahan.Nakarinig ako ng mga yabag at nakita siyang sumilip mula sa kusina.

"Oh Justin!"masayang salubong nito sa akin atsaka lumabas ng tindahan."Napadaan ka iho?"

Nagmano ako dito bago sumagot."Gusto ko lang po kayong kamustahin.Baka hindi po ako makapunta rito ng ilang araw dahil may pupuntahan po ako."

Honestly I haven't been able to go in here after school.I come sometimes para lang kamustahin si Nanay at humili na rin minsan ng ice cream niya kahit na hindi ko ito malasahan.Memories coming back from just a bite of the ice cream.And it wasn't a pleasant taste.Even though I want to enjoy it, it's tasteless.

"Ay ganoon ba,medyo malulungkot ako at hindi ka na magagawi dito,"nakasimangot sa sabi nito.

"Isang linggo lang po iyon Nay,"medyo natatawang sabi ko para pagaanin ang loob niya.

"Aba't mahaba haba rin iyon." Nagawi ang tingin niya kay Rj."Ah ay jusko ikaw pala iyan iho,'yung nageenglish,"biro ni Nanay at tumingin sa akin while giggling pagkatapos ay kay Rj."Ang akala ko'y si Josh eh.

Saglit akong natahimik at napatingin kay Rj.He's still smiling but I can notice that it's a bit forced.I also feel this stab in my chest.Nanay didn't know about it.I can't come to tell her.

Rj seems to notice my gaze so he look back and smiled at me,he slightly shake his head to reassure me that he's okay even if I still didn't ask him anything.I think I shouldn't have let him come.

Humarap na siya kay Nanay bago ngumiti.Since he was smiling when we're together I can tell that he's wearing now is forced."Yes po hehe.How are you po?"

"Ofcourse Fine,"she said confidently before laughing."Approve ba?"

"Absolutely Approve,"Rj answered giving Nanay at thumbs up before he wink that mames us all laugh together.I'm really having fun everytime I came here.
