My Fake Boyfriend

MFB '33 - Unbelievable

Hindi ako nakapagsalita nor makagalaw. I was shocked about what I'm seeing right know. Hindi ko expect na magkikita kami ulit in this unexpected time.

"...Xavier his grandson." Dugtong ni Lola.

Our eyes met. Kinakabahan ako. Of all boys in this country siya pa talaga and now I can truly say that world is really small. And fate is truly playing people.

"Upo na tayo. .. so ..Athena magkasing- edad lang pala ang mga apo natin. Ahh." Sabi ni Lola.

"Tama ka diyan! Naku! Binata't dalaga na sila. Naalala ko pa noong kabataan ko. Hmm!" Sabi naman ni Madam Athena(hindi ko alam kung anong tatawagin ko sa kanya eeh).

Napaupo na kaming lahat. Pero hindi ko maalis ang tingin ko kay Xavier. I have many questions to ask him. I don't know but I want to talk to him. In many months passed ngayon na lang ulit kami nagmeet. And I  don't know what happen to him and his plan.

Our grandmothers keep on talking. While me, I can't control myself na makipag eye-to-eye sa kanya. Theres an urge inside me na makipag-usap sa kanya. Because I can see in his aura na may iba. There is something different from the Xavier I met months ago and the Xavier I'm seeing right now.

"Denise, mind if you accompany Xavier? May pag-uusapan lang kami ni Athena." Sabi ni Lola. Maybe this is now the chance.

Tumayo ako at sumunod naman siya dinala ko siya sa may garden namin at umupo kami sa upuan. I prepare myself to talk to him. Oh Em Gee! This is awkward.

"Xavier."

"Denise."

Sabay naming sabi. Urgh! Why it is so hard. Kasi hindi naman maganda ang last meet up namin. I remember that he has a condition and he also threatened me. But I want to know what will he say.

"You first." I say.

"Ok. I just want to say sorry. For how I acted months ago. Sorry sa mga nagawa ko I was just blind of my revenge. Nabulag ako sa galit ko.. alam mo bang for how many years pinaghandaan ko ang pagbabalik ko at wala akong pakealam kung tama ba o mali na 'yung mga ginagawa ko. I just wanted him to suffer and feel what I have feel decades ago."

Sa mga sinasabi ngayon ni Xavier it marks that he's really angry and naglalabas lang siya ng galit. Maybe malaki ang nagawang kasalanan ng kung sino man 'yon. I can't interrupt him I want him to take out all his suffering because it has a bad influence to him.

"Pero alam mo. Napag-isipan ko na why I need to do this kung wala naman na akong mapapala. Yes, I just want to be even pero alam kong hindi niya kasalanan ang nangyari noon ...hindi niya sinasadya. And now I'm back to the Xavier they all truly know and it feels so good to be back. Na wala kang hinanakit sa ibang tao. And Denise this is the real me."

So.. that's it. It looks like he is a good person sadyang nabulag lang siya sa galit kaya nagawa niya 'yon.

"Ahm. Pwd ko bang malaman if who is that person you're talking about?" I asked.

"Would you mind to keep this as a secret?"

"Yeah. It safe with me."

"I trust you." He sigh.

"It's Jayvan..--"

"What? Siya 'yung--"

"Let me finish first okay? Just listen to me."

I nodded.

"Yeah. He is. Eleven years ago when we became friends. Naging magkaklase kami .. magkaibigan... magkasangga sa lahat ng bagay. Kung ano ang meron siya at meron  din ako vice versa. We became as Jayvan and Xavier against the world kasi may mga nambubully sa amin noon kaya ganun na ang nasa isip naming na 'yung laban ng isa laban naming dalawa."
