Chapter 19
Still in love with him...
How will I escape from that painful truth?
How will I forget this feelings? No. How will I erase this feelings? For good...
Nakailang tanong na ba ako niyan sa aking sarili ngunit kailanman ay hindi ko nasagot? Hindi ko nagawa. Wala akong magawa kung hindi hayaan lang iyong manatili sa loob ko...
Nagising ako dahil sa kumakalam kong sikmura. Agad akong bumaba para magluto ng agahan. Good thing that I've already bought stocks yesterday. Ang naisip kong lutuin ay sinangag. I suddenly craved for a spam so I think I'll fry later when I finished cooking the fried rice.
Living alone is really hard. Lalo na tuwing mag-iisip ng kung ano'ng uulamin. Tsaka mas mahirap sa akin na kaunti lang ang alam lutuin. Adobo o sinigang lang. Nakakasawa na rin ulamin kaya minsan ay nagpiprito nalang ako ng kung anong pwedeng prituhin.
Nang matapos kumain ay naghugas naman ako tapos ay naglinis ng bahagya.
I was about to ascend when my eyes caught the view from outside. Sa pool area. I frowned when I saw the swing again. Wala parin akong nahahanap na puwedeng magtanggal niyon. I'm starting to get annoyed just by seeing that.
It's sickening to see it hanging so freely. Tila nang-aasar pa tuwing sumasabay sa ihip ng hangin. My goodness. Ako ata ang may sakit na sa isip.
"I'll do it." bulong ko.
Bumalik ako sa kusina upang kumuha ng materyales na puwedeng gamitin sa pagtanggal. Tapos ay tinahak ko ang daan patungo roon.
The sun isn't that hot yet so I think this is the right time to get rid of this annoying swing. I let out a sigh to calm myself.
"This is it!" I grinned.
But it was immediately replaced by a frown.
Namewang ako at tahimik na napamura nang matanaw kung gaano kakapal ang taling nakakabit sa puno. It's impossible to use a scissor nor a knife! Mukhang hindi ulit matutuloy ang pagtanggal sa pesteng swing na ito.
"Damn it." I blurted out.
Kinamot ko ang aking magulong buhok saka nababaliw na sinipa ang swing.
"You like seeing me so frustrated huh?" pagkausap ko sa walang muwang na swing.
This is really sickening!
"What are you doing?" ani ng pamilyar na tinig.
Agad ko iyong hinanap ngunit hindi ko makita. Did I just hallucinate? But I heard it very clear! Wait-
Dahan-dahan akong lumingon sa kabilang bahay. Specifically to the second floor because the fence of our house is incredibly high. Walang makakatanaw sa akin mula sa first floor, kaya malamang nasa second floor ang nagsalitang hangal. And I was right.
Sahil is there. Looking so bright, taking the sun's place. His both palms are laid on his both cheeks while his elbow is perched on the railing. Mukhang kanina pa nanonood sa akin at mukhang nag-i-enjoy pa!
That bastard...
Napasinghap ako ng wala sa oras.
My cheeks heated when I realized my stupidity. I suddenly regret talking to the swing. I regret throwing my annoyance to this swing! May nanonood pala sa kabaliwan ko!
Damn. Now I suddenly had a neighbor! Just wow. Hindi nakakatuwang balita. Mas gugustuhin ko pang mabalitang may nakitang multo sa kabilang bahay.
"Kumain ka na?" aniya pa.
