CHAPTER 35
Get away.
The whole drive I was silent. Same with him. The deafening silence filled inside the car. The feeling was like a deja vu. Everytime I was with him, I get so nervous, same feelings years ago. I was also run out of words in front of him.
I heard him cleared his throat.
"I'll just instruct my guards to pull your car tomorrow." He said, I just nodded.
"Thanks." I said.
Napatingin naman siya nang may tumawag sa akin. It's Ice. I immediately answered the call.
"May susundo na sayo-" I cut him off
"Wag na. I'm already on my way home. Thanks, Ice." I said, nang banggitin ko ang pangalan ni Ice ay apatingin si Jai sa akin, ngunit binalik niya naman agad ang tingin sa daan.
"Sure ka? Ano- I mean kaninong sasakyan?"
"Jai." I said,
"O-okay. Enjoy. You're welcome, Rain! Bye." Agad na binaba ni Ice ang kanyang tawag na tumatawa. Gago talaga 'to eh! Wala pa nga akong sinabi pinangunahan na niya!
"You're close with him." Jai commented.
"He's my savior when everything fell." I said, then I saw how he tightened his grip to the steering wheel. Seconds passed, I realized that I regret saying those words. Argh!
It took seconds of silence and then I heard him cleared his throat.
"Are you still on therapy?" He asked, I glanced at him for seconds.
"Yeah."
That was quite awkward. I could feel everything was wrong. Okay lang 'yan Rain, kaya mo 'yan! makakauwi ka rin. Trust the process.
"I'll just pay for the gas, if ever you need. I knew not everything is free today." I said, trying to abort this kind of awkwardness.
"Then you'll commute for tomorrow?" He asked, still focused on driving. I saw the entrance of the city, siguro nasa city proper na kami.
"Probably."
"Then, I'll just drive you back." He said, then cleared his throat, as if he was trying his luck. Muntik na nga akong matawa dahil napailing pa siya. Nagulat naman ako nang bigla siyang lumingon sa akin.
"I mean, your car needs to get transported again. It would be done tomorrow, but not instantly." He defensively said.
"I'll just commute. Thanks." I said. Then he just nodded.
