EXCHANGE LOVERS

Chapter 18: Hurting

Gian's POV

Dinala ko si Kera sa secret lare ko, dinala ko siya sa paborito kong club na pag-aari ng kaibigan ko, VIP kasi ako dito, pinasok ko si Kera sa isang pribadong  kwarto.

"Have a sit." I said.

"Bakit dito mo'ko dinala?" tanong niya sa akin.

"So we could talk privately, para mabuhos mo yang dinadala mong sakit." i said.

"Sakit? yeah right, can I have a glass of wine first." she said. Kaya umurder ako ng dalawang basong wine.

"Start talking." i said.

"Mamaya na." sabi niya sabay uminom ng wine niya. Naubos niya ang wine niya sa isang inoman lang at nag-order pa ng iba.
I saw how sad Kera is, I felt her sadness and coldness.

"Another one please." sabi niya sa waiter.
Hanggang nakaubos siya ng limang basong wine at ako naka dalawa pa lang.

"Stop it Kera, hindi mo na kaya." sabi ko sa kanya.

"No i wont stop, gustong ko siyang kalimutan." she said with a sobbed.

"Makalimutan mo naman siya but not  this way." sabi ko at kinuha ko ang glass wine sa kamay niya.

"Give it back Gian, I need this to forget him." she said.

"No! dahil marami na ang nainom mo." I told her.

"Then why the hell did you bring me here?" galit niyang sabi.

"So we could talk privately. Pero hindi kita dinala dito to get drunk." pagdidiin ko.
She suddenly grabbed the wine glass in my hand, kaya natapon ang laman nito sa suot ko.

"See your already drunk." i said.

"What the hell Gian, I'm not drunk." she refused.

"Stop it Kera!" saway ko sa kanya, dahil kumuha naman siya ng wine glass.

"I-i n-need this G-gian, ka-hit ngayon l-lang please." nagsusumamo niyang sabi and after she sobbed. What do I do, she cried. Kera is crying dahil pang sa lalaking 'yon.

"Stop crying Kera." i said and hugged her.

"I know how fool I am right now for crying over him but it really hurts so much, I could'nt forget him no matter how I tried, I love him too much." she said while crying.

"You could forget him sooner Kera, ofcourse it hurts, his your first love, and you thought his the one for you, you make him your world and that's too much for you to get hurt by him." i said to her while hugging her.

"It really hurts Gian, how would I forget him that fast?" she cried while saying.

"You could if you would Kera." sabi ko rin.

"Hindi ko alam kung papa'no. Ang sakit lang tanggapin na hindi niya ako minahal sa simula pa lang." sabi niya.

"Truth hurts so much to accept Kera, but time will come to heal every pain that you felt right now." I said and calmed her a liitle bit.

"Time will heal everything, I know that but the fact that he hurts me so much, I can't bear it. Loving him was a very special feelings I've felt in my entire life, but he broke me for good and now I feel nothing but hatred and pain." she sarcastically siad and wiped her tears that are flowing in her checks.

Kera was broked, I know the feelings because her twin sister Krista broke me too, but I'm a man, I can handle things with myself, but Kera was too innocent for this kind of shit, Calvin was her first love and first boyfriend how could he broke her too much. I pity her for that, but I know deep inside that she can move on and learn everything she experienced about love.

"I need to go home." she barely said, she was going to stand up but it ended up she has'nt have the strenght. Kaya natumba siya buti nalang mabilis ang reflexes ko at nasalo ko siya.

"I'll send you home." i said and she nodded.
Inalalayan ko siya patungong parking at isinakay sa sasakyan ko, and before I started the car engine tinawagan ko si Kyle.

Ilang minuto lang nakarating kami sa bahay nila at sinabi ko na kay Kyle kung ano ang nangyari kay Kera para hindi siya masadong mag-aalala.
Kakapasok ko lang sa gate nila natanaw ko na si Kyle sa labas ng bahay nila.

"Bro. salamat sa paghatid sa kapatid ko, maaasahan ka talaga sa lahat ng oras." pasasalamat na sabi ni Kyle sa'kin.

"Walang anuman bro., basta para sa'yo." sabi ko.

"Bantayan mo siya Kyle, masakit ang pinagdadaanan niya ngayon baka hindi nia kayanin." pahabol na sabi ko.

"Wag kang mag-aala bro. babantayan ko ang kapatid ko at bibigyan ng payo, salamat talaga." sabi ni Kyle.

"Kumusta pala kayo ng kapatid ko?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"Ok lang kami bro. mas naging masaya kami dahil nag-oopen up na siya sa'kin tungkol sa buhay niya at mga pinagdadaanan niya." sabi niya.

"Sinabi rin ba niya kung ano ang dahilan bakit siya iniwan ni mommy noon?" tanong ko.

"Oo nasabi na niya, mas mahal daw ng mommy niyo ang daddy mo keysa sa daddy niya, kaya siya iniwan pero wala namang sama ng loob sayo kapatid mo, talaga lang daw hindi pa siya handang makipagkita sa mommy niyo." sabi ni Kyle.

"Cge bro. pakikumusta mo nalang ako sa kanya, at aalis na rin ako kasi gabi na rin." paalam ko.

"Cge bro. salamat sa paghatid kay Kera." pasasalamat niya.
