Franco's PoV
I was dumbfounded when she shouted... I didn't expect her to react this way
"Claire..."
"Sa tingin mo okay saken makita ka pero nasusugatan?! What would that make me feel ha, Franco?! Na kada punta mo dito may sugat ka sa katawan? I hate you but I don't want you dead!"
"B-buhay pa naman ako"
"Una, ano? Sugat sa kamay? Ngayon ulo? Napupuyat ka pa kasi may trabaho ka kahit pumupunta dito? Ano sunod? Maaaksidente ka sa kalsada? Sa tingin mo okay yon?!"
"C-claire... sorry. M-mag-iingat naman ako..." sambit ko panicking pagkakita kong may luha na sa mata niya
"Oras lang yung kailangan ko Franco... hindi ko pa alam yung isusugal ko pero wag mo naman ako takutin ng ganyan..."
"Hey... please stop... wag ka naman umiyak oh..."
"Puro ka bulaklak nauubos pera mo kakabulaklak dito sa bahay akala mo ba di ko napapansin yang mata mo halatang puyat ka lagi?"
"I just want to prove myself to you Claire..."
"Prove yourself but don't kill yourself in doing so! Wag ganun Franco... I... I don't feel good about it... p-pakiramdam ko sinisira ko lang buhay mo..."
"Claire... what? No. Please..."
Pinunasan niya yung mukha niya tsaka umiwas ng tingin saken.
"M-mag-iingat ka naman... please..."
"I promise..."
Huminga siya ng malalim bago nagsalita ulit.
"Seryoso ako when I said you take care of yourself... kung di ka nag-aalala sa sarili mo... s-sana isipin mo naman yung mararamdaman ko kung makikita kitang may sakit... hindi mo kailangan pumunta dito araw araw para lang patunayan sarili mo kasi... hindi ko lang dun nakikita yung effort mo Franco... hindi lang dun"
Third person's PoV
"Lola?"
"Ano yun apo?"
"Is mama okay?"
"She is. She will be."
"Really lola? Coz she's shouting at tito Franco po"
"Not everything you hear is what they seem Francis. Isa pa, it's a conversation between two adults. They'll figure it out themselves"
"Tito cares for mama, lola?"
"Hm?"
"I always see tito staring at mama as if he's crazy. Tapos he's always here po"
"What do you think of tito Franco, apo?"
"He's mabait po lola. He always gives me gifts, mama flowers, then he helps you po"
"Really?"
"Opo lola."
"Oh siya lika na play ka na ulit sa room mo"
"Ok po lola"
Franco's PoV
"You still have my number?" Tanong ni Claire bago ako umalis
"Uhh... yes? Why?"
"Text me when you get home"
"What?"
"What? I said text me when you get home or kung may pupuntahan ka pa"
"I..."
"Ayaw mo ba?"
"I... will. Yes. Uhh..."
"Okay. Ingat ka... you don't have to hurry remember"
"Y-yeah"
"Sige na gabi na. Shoo" sambit niya pushing me slightly pero wala na kong nasabi pagkatapos dahil sinarado na niya yung pinto ng bahay nila. I was left speechless but I found myself smiling... ganito pala ang feeling...
