TRS 112: Confused

AN: Grammatical and typographical errors ahead

STANLEY'S POV

I'M really confused right now. I don't know what to say. I'm just silent while walking beside Shianna.

She was not crying anymore however there's still tears that are falling down from her eyes. Dahil rin sa mga luha at kakaiyak niya ay nasira na ang make-up niya.

Nagkalat na rin ang mascara sa ilalim ng tulikap ng kaniyang mga mata.

"Shianna-"

"I have to go home. It's getting late na." she said made me stop what I want to ask to her. She face me and smile bitterly.

"You should go home na rin, Stanley. Gabi na. Pero mauna na ako sa iyo." she said calmy but there's still a trace of 0ain masked on her voice and I couldn't deny that I want to hug her but I can't. Ayokong pag-isipan ako ng masama ni Shianna. After all, she once became my friend.

"I will take you home." I insisted.

"No, you don't have to. I can take care of myself." she refused my offer.

Hindi na rin ako tumutol pa. Naisip ko rin na she wants to be alone. Maybe being alone could lessen her pain.

"Fine. But be safe, hmm?"

"Yeah sure, I will." she replied and smile at me. "But before I'll go home. I have a few questions."

"Hmm? What is that?" I curiously asked.

"Nothing. I forgot it." Medyo nagulat ako sa sagot niya. Halata naman na may gusto siyang sasabihin. Pero nagdadalawang isip siya.

"Are you sure? I think you have something to say." I tried to ask, maybe she will tell me. But I failed dahil umiling lang siya.

I just smile and toon a heavy sigh.

"Sige, I have to go na. Bye!" pagpapaalam niya. Tumango naman ako bilang sagot. Seems like hindi ko talaga siya mapipilit na ihatid ko siya.

Tumalikod na si Shianna at naglakad palapit sa may waiting shed. Hindi naman pwedeng hayaan ko nalang siya kaya naman ay sinundan ko si Shianna.

"O? Stanley bakit ka sumunod? Dapat pumasok ka na sa loob. Malamang hinihintay ka na ng mga kaibigan mo sa loob."

"Let me be nalang Shianna. Ok? And look, hindi naman ako papayag na hayaan nalang kita na mag-isa tapos sa gitna ng gabi, right?" I replied. Hindi na siya umangal pa. Kahit naman anong isagot niya. Hindi parin ako papayag na mag-isa siya.

TRISTAN'S POV

I WAS STUNNED, I don't know what to react. Dahil sa gulat ko ay hindi ko man lang napigilan si Claire na gawin 'yon.

"Why did you do that?" I asked Claire in monotone voice. Hindi ko nga siya magawang tignan.

Umiinit ang ulo ko everytime nakikita ko siya.

"I-Im sorry, Tris-"

"Why?"

"Tristan, let me explai-"

"I said why the fuck did you kiss me? Anong pumasok sa utak mo para gawin 'yon? Answer my damn question, Claire!" I shouted. I can't believe what she did. Paano nalang kong may nakakita non? Anong sasabihin nila tungkol sa akin? Fuck! She's Stanley's fiancee for Pete's sake!

"I'm sorry."

"Get inside." I told her calmly. I took a deep breath before turning my back and faced her and held her hand.

"Let's go. Baka mahamugan ka pa." she nodded as a response. I took my towel out of my pocket and wiped her tears.

"Stop crying, Claire. Please, hmm?" mabuti nalang at agad naman itong tumahan. "You're now ugly. You're mascara scattered under your eyes." Sabi ko sakaniya sabay tawa pero sinimangutan lang ako.
