Psycho...or not? (SiP Season 2)

Cal's POV

"Sa tingin mo ayos lang yun?"

Napalingon ako kay Harry na kanina pa nakaupo sa tabi ko habang iniinom ang Lemon Juice na hawak niya.

Gusto ko siyang sapakin.

Bakit?

Hinihingi nya ang opinyon ko about sa proposal niya kay Amira.

Gago ba to?

Napapikit ako para kalamahin ang sarili ko.

He is Harry Borrison, yes. He looks like him, he even smells like him. Like five years ago.

Noon, gusto kong pansinin ako ni Zoe and look at me the way she looks at Harry.

But now, I just want them both to be happy.

I saw Zoe. I saw how her world fall apart.
I saw her in her worst. And I still love her.

I know she love Harry as much as she loves herself. I know that much.

But how can I leave her with.. this.. asshole.

"Cal?" Tawag niyang muli.

Nilingon ko siya.

"Hm. Sounds great." Maikling sagot ko.

"Pero di niya kasi ako kinakausap eh. Simula nung...nalaman niyang may anak na ako." Mahinang sabi niya.

Lumingon ako sa pool part kung saan nandoon si Amira. Magisa.

"Better ask her directly. Kung ano ba ang nararamdaman niya para sayo. Para di ka magmukhang tanga kaka plano." Huling sabi ko saka umalis.

Lumapit ako kila Zoe at Dave na nasa gilid din ng pool. Sa kabilang side.

Kasama nila sila Jim at Jam, Louie and Louise and Chester.

"Where's Shon and Thea?" Tanong ko nang makalapit.

"Gumagawa." Sagot ni Chester.

Napansin kong nagsitigilan sila saka sabay sabay na lumingon kay Chester.

Nakita ko ang kakapirasong barbeque na lumipad sa mukha niya.

"Shut your mouth moron." Sabi ni Zoe na tinawanan naman nila.

"Anong pake mo kung gumawa sila ng sampu? Mag asawa ka na kasi." Sabi ni Louise na lalong tinawanan ng iba.

"Wala nga akong mahanap eh. Ikaw ba gusto mo?" Seryosong tanong ni Chester.

Natahimik kami sa gulat.

"You sure?" Tanong ni Louie sabay subo ng grapes na nasa harap niya.

"Luwe naman eh!" Ungot ni Louise.

Nagtawanan kami.

Akala ko din seryoso si Louie sa sinabi niya. Haha.

But I know Louie treasures Louise more than anything else. If not, hindi siya sasama kung nasan man magpunta si Louise.

"No dude. Swear. Gusto mo ba?" Natahimik ulit kami sa tanong ni Chester.

Nagtinginan kami ni Zoe. I saw her bite her lips. Maybe to stop her smile?

"Gago! Divorced ako!" Sagot ni Louise saka kabadong tumawa..

Tinitigan naman siya ni Chester kaya napatingin din kami kay Louise na kusang tumigil sa pag tawa.

"Divorced ako eh.." Mahinang sabi niya saka umiwas ng tingin.

"Hindi mo naman kasalanan na don ka bumagsak sa gagong lalaki eh." Seryosong sabi ni Chester.

Tahimik lang akong nakikiramdam.

Louie is listening too but I know he wants her sister to be happy too. But I know also that he's not the type to give his sister to anyone. Lalo na at gago ang unang napangasawa nito.

"But don't worry. Kung sakali man na gusto kitang pakasalan hindi ikaw yung una kong tatanungin." Sabi ni Chester habang tumatango tango.

"Huh?" Naguguluhang tanong ni Louise.

Kumunot ang noo ko.

"Sempre parents mo muna bago brother. Pag pumayag sila saka kita yayayain." Chester smile and wink at Louise.

I knew it.

"Fuck." Nagtinginan kami kay Zoe nang marinig namin ang sinabi niya.

"Kadiri."

Dagdag niya na tinawanan namin..

"Z naman eh! Bumabanat ako eh! Konting support naman oh!" Angal ni Chester.

Z just rolled her eyes and drink her Tequila.

"Don't worry. If things go that way I'll vouch for you." Mahinang sabi ni Zoe.

"Yun naman pala eh! Sana kanina mo pa sinabi para dagdag pogi points." Masayang sabi ni Chester.

"And I can kill you too if things go wrong." Seryosong sabi niya saka tinitigan si Chester na napatigil naman sa pagtawa.

"If things..go wrong? Anong ibig mong sabihin?" Kabadong tanong ni Chester saka salit salitang tumingin sa amin.

Umiwas ako ng tingin sa kanya saka mahinang sumipol.

"Things like.. hurting her." Sabi ni Zoe saka kinain ang cherry na nakapatong sa cupcake na nasa harapan niya.

Kabadong tumawa si Chester.

"Z naman. Hehehehehe."

Nag tawanan kami sa reaksyon ni Chester.

Natakot din naman siya kay Zoe. Well, Louise is her bestfriend so yeah why not kill anyone who hurt her?

But, Chester is one of her protector same as Althea and Shon so I know she just said that to warn Chester. She doesn't want any of them to get hurt. I know that much about her.

"Zoe. Pwede ka ba makausap saglit?"

Halos sabay sabay kaming lumingon kay Harry. Nasa likod sya ni Zoe.

I saw Zoe get tense as she looked at Harry.

"Oh.. S-sure." Labag sa loob na sagot niya saka sumunod kay Harry.

Sinundan ko naman sila ng tingin.

"Is she going to be okay?" Rinig kong tanong ni Louise habang nakatanaw din sa dalawa.

"I hope so." Bulong ko.

I really don't want her to suffer anymore.

Masyado na syang maraming napagdaanan even before she became ZOE Montuerto.

I heard all of it from Dave. Her Bestfriend and from Althea too.

They told me everything she went through and I swear if I were her I would give up my fucking life.

She's one hell of a strong girl and she grew up a strong woman too.
