My Possessive Enemy (Series #1)

36

Zior.

I have always hated him. His small face, his small vosiya. his laugh, everything he had, I have always hated it.

Sa mga akto niya, sa pagiging mahinhin niya, naiinis ako. Sa liit ng boses niyang parang bata, nakakainis din. Sa tuwing nakikita ko siya, naiinis ako.

Ewan ko rin ba kung bakit. Was it because of his confession? But why would I get angry by that? Ano'ng karapatan ko? Maybe because I hate gays? Ewan, ang hirap.

Kumukulo ang dugo ko kapag nandiyan siya. Kumukulo ang dugo ko kapag narinig ko ang pangalan niya.

But one of the things I couldn't understand is that... despite of the fact that I hated seeing him everyday, there is also a part of me that wanted to be with him all day.

Palagi ko siyang sinasaktan, walang araw na hindi kami nag-aaway. Whenever he cries because of me, nasasaktan ako.

That time when he confessed his feelings towards me, I was just shocked that time. He knows full too well I don't like gays, but why he confessed? Ganoon na ba talaga siya katapang para sayangin ang pagkakaibigan namin?

"Kaiden naman, huwag mo na akong saktan..." And there is it, he cries in front of me. Nasa skwelahan kami ngayon, napaalis na ang Raike na 'yon kaya I am free to bully him.

But I suddenly felt guilty... I felt pain seeing him crying, I felt like I wanted to say sorry. But why? He is just so gorgeous when he cries.

What?!

"Not now, please. M-may klase pa ako," he begged, still crying in front of me.

I stepped back and cleared my throat. He looked up to me and he looked surprised. I just looked away and swallowed hard.

"A-aalis na ako..." paalam pa niya. Hindi ko siya sinagot hanggang sa mawala na siya.

I've seen him crying a lot of time because of me, but he never begged to stop. But now that he begged, I suddenly felt a pain. I felt guilty. Seeing him crying... it hurt me. Ewan, ang gulo.

Another day came and Wine, my girl, had to go to Manila. Taga roon siya. I got really sad, to be honest. But we're both still young, wala pa kaming magagawa roon. Maybe we'll just meet again, somewhere.

"I'm gonna miss you, Kai," she smiled painfully at me. She's now standing in front of me, saying her last goodbye.

I had to look away since I don't want anyone to see me crying. "I-I'm gonna miss you, too." My voice broke.

Her face softens as she went to me and hugged me. "Shush. We'll meet again, right?"

That words gave me idea. I mean, I am rich, it isn't impossible to find her in there. "Yes." I smiled, full of confidence. "I'm going to find you there."

And just like that, she went gone. For several days, I had to cry alone since I missed her very much. Although we aren't together yet, I am still here crying as if I was her lover.

I was in the middle of crying when someone suddenly opens the door. My eyes widened in shock, at ganoon din si Zior. Yes, si Zior. Pero wala akong gana na magalit sa kaniya.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, not looking.

"M-may pinapakuha si Tita," he said. Ang tapang niya na pumunta rito, ah. That is why I am proud of him, parang wala siyang kinakakatakotan. Wait, anong proud?

"Go and find it." I stood up from the floor and went on the bed. Ang epal niya! Umiiyak 'yong tao, pero andito siya, nange-epal.

But there is also a part of me that wants his comfort. I know it sounded crazy but I really want Zior's comfort. Nagugulohan din ako. Baka kasi nasanay ako noong mga araw na palagi siyang nandiyan para i-comfort ako.
