Wasn't Meant To Be

Chapter 18

Errors Ahead

Date

After that sleepless night Cassius called me again sakto pa ito habang nasa kotse kami ni Kyle papuntang mall.

"Lala, sorry about yesterday. I was drunk." paliwanag niya.

"It's alright, just don't do it again please."Bumaling ako kay Kyle na busy sa pagmamaneho na agad ko namang binigyan ng matamis na ngiti nang sumulyap ito sa akin.

"Who was that?" Kyle asked after the call ended.

"It's just one of my classmates, hinaram niya kasi yung isa sa pens ko and nasira niya yung tip."

Tumango siya matapos kong sagutin ang tanong. I'm sorry Kyle, for lying. I feel like I am cheating, I just lied to my boyfriend about a guy I liked for a year.

Dumating kami sa may mall and Kyle skillfully parked the car malapit sa entrance. I went outside the car matapos buksan ang automatic lock nito, hindi na siya hinayaang pagbuksan pako ng pintuan. Hawak kamay kami patungo sa may cine para makita kung ano ang showing. Matapos ang trenta minutos kakaisip anong pipiliin namin we decided to watch The Greatest Showman since we both like musicals. After buying the ticket he told me to sit and wait for him siya na raw nag bibili ng snacks namin sumunod naman ako sa kaniya since he really said he can do it himself he just wants me to sit and wait.

Sa paghihintay ko I saw Yasmen standing from a far habang tutok sa kaniyang cellphone. Our eyes met when she lifted her head she smiled and I waved. Naglakad siya papalapit sa akin at nagkamustahan naman kami. I once hated Yasmen dahil nagpakatanga si Cassius sa kaniya, but as I grew I realized it's not her fault kahit pa sinabi niya na study first then the next school year nagkaroon siya ng boyfriend. People's mind change and also she already rejected the guy many times, it's on Casssius already.

"Manonood ng sine?" Yasmen asked.

"Yes, with Kyle. Ikaw? Kasama mo si Jake?"

"Nah, also we broke up already." Sagot niya at ngumiti sa huli as if it doesn't matter.

We had some few chats until Kyle came back at kinakailangan na naming pumasok sa loob. Marami rami ang mga manonood buti nalang at maaga kaming nakabili ng ticket at magandang spot ang nakuha namin. Natahimik na ang lahat nang nagumpisa ang palabas at ang mga cellphone na kanina ay siyang liwanag sa sinehan ay wala narin. The movie was so great and I tried hard not to fall asleep pero nang dahil sa nanyari kaninag madaling araw nakulangan ako sa tulog, I feel asleep at pagkagising ko my head was resting on Kyle's shoulder at binalot niya din ako ng jacket. Pero nakakapagtaka the movie was still playing, I'm so sure I slept the whole movie.

"I bought another ticket since I didn't want to wake you up, parang pagod ka eh." Kyle explained nung bumaling ako sa kaniya.

"Did you sleep well?" Malambing niyang tanong.

Tumango naman ako dahan dahan at medyo pikit parin ang mga mata. My boyfriend is so thoughtful at di ko na napigilang mapangiti.

"Good." He held my hand and gentle his lips touched it.

Tulala ako ng ilangminuto bago nanood na ulit. I really space out every time I wake up para bangnasa isang dimension ako where it's void. Kyle offered me fries at nilantakanko naman ito na para bang hindi kumain bng isang taon. Sinugurado ko ding hindina ulit ako makakatulog, sayang ang ticket at ang bastos ko naman
