GLAIZA
Mabilis kong liningon si Rhian. Did I hear it right? She wants to live with me?
" A-anong sabi mo?"-sabi ko ulit.
" Itanan mo na ako haist! Slow poke!"-irap niya sakin.
" Ha? you mean uhm sinasagot mo na ako? tayo na?"-lito kong tanong.
" Nope hindi pa tayo, you will still court me ha?I just want to monitor you, dahil sa pagiging pasaway mo"-
" Kailan naman ako naging pasaway?"
" Dr. Glaiza de Castro I'm not dumb. I know everything about you for the past years. You're pasaway in your work, many lawsuits and going to bars here and there hanging out with strangers. Hmp!"-dabog niyang sagot.
I was left hanging, mouth open.
" How did you know all of that?all this time you know everything about me and you didn't even tell me about it?"-medyo inis kong sabi at sinundan ko siya sa closet.
" Get out pervert!Mag usap tayo mamaya, pagbihisin mo muna ako!"-hiyaw niya at binato ako ng hanger.
Katakot naman, parang hindi na siya yung Yoyon ko na malambing eh. Wag ko na siya kayang ligawan. Parang hitler!
"Kung ayaw mo kay Amit or Jason na lang ako sasama!"-muli niyang sigaw mula sa loob. Tsk! Mind reader pa yata 'tong babaeng 'to!
" May sinabi ba akong ayaw ko!"-sagot ko ng malakas.
At napaatras pa ako sa gulat ng pabalibag niyang binuksan ang pinto at ang talim ng tingin sakin.
" Dahil ba sa sakit ko kaya naisip mo yan? I told you hindi ko kailangan ng awa mo!"-
" Ghad! I want to be with you and I don't want to miss this chance na makasama ka!Did you see those pictures of yours!"-turo niya sa wall.
" I have kept that for a long time cause I longed for you, seeing those pictures everyday makes me feel that you are with me! How much more now na bumalik ka!? I have dated and even had boyfriends but still I find myself lost and empty pero the moment I saw you step in the hospital in flesh doon ko narealize na ikaw at ikaw lang ang makakapagpuno lahat ng kakulangan ko! Now if you don't agree with my idea then let's drop all of this!"-she said crying.
How stupid I could get! parehas lang pala kami ng nararamdaman. Our connection is still there kahit wala kaming contact sa mga nakalipas na taon. I shouldn't have jump into stupid conclusions, dahil nasasaktan ko siya ng hindi ko sinasadya.
" Yoyon, I'm sorry"-yun lang ang nasabi ko.
" Just wait for me downstairs, ibabalik ko lang mga gamit ko sa closet"-she said coldly and unzip her luggage but I hug her from behind to stop her.
" Stop crying Baby, malalagot ako kay Tita Lay niyan eh, I just promised her na hindi kita sasaktan at paiiyakin "- I cooed.
" Get off me! If you don't want to be with me, fine!"-piglas niya sa yakap ko.
" I want to Baby. Every single damn day naalala kita, it's just that my situation is pulling me back dahil ayaw kitang masaktan"
" But you're hurting me now by rejecting me! what's the difference with that!?"
" Kaya nga ipapaalam na kita kay Tita to live with me"-sabi ko ng mahinahon.
" Don't bother dahil nakapagpaalam na ako"-she said and for the second time I was speechless again.
