He's In Trouble

Kabanata 39

Iniwan ko sila roon at naabutan si Abby sa loob na nagbabasa ng libro. "Bored ka na 'no?" Naitanong ko habang kumukuha ng pamalit sa luggage ko. Maliligo ako at baka sakaling mahimasmasan pa ako.

"Surprisingly, I'm actually enjoying it here." aniya

"Buti ka pa." Nasabi ko nalang

Nakuha ko na ang kailangan ko at aalis na sana pero nagsalita pa muna siya "May problema ka?"

Napahinto ako at tumingin sa kanya "Honestly, hindi ko rin alam." I sighed "Shower lang ako sandali." Paalam ko at iniwan na siya roon

Gawa halos lahat sa kahoy itong buong cabin pero maganda at maaliwalas tingnan, plus mukhang malinis pa. Naligo ako sa loob ng banyo at hindi ko na namalayang tumutulo na pala 'yong mga luha ko.

Gosh. I've always been a cry baby when the topic is about my family but never did I ever think that I will be this soft and fragile over something as shallow as this. Is this what they call a heartbreak? Ito na ba iyong kaakibat na sakit pag nagmahal ka, o may mas lalala pa ba? kung Oo, pwede bang i-skip ko nalang at proceed nalang ako dun sa happy ending namin? Masyado kasing nakakapanghina ang ganito.

Matapos akong maligo ay naghanda na agad ako para matulog, pero sa ngayon ay patutuyuin ko pa muna ang buhok ko.

"Pambihira." Naiusal ko nang maabutan ang pare-parehong mga nakangiti sa hangin nilang mga itsura. Rinig kong natawa si Abby.

"Tawag ng pag-ibig daw sabi ni Jean." Aniya na ikinangiwi ko

"Really, even you, Jean?" She's the least that I could think of to say something like that

Nagkibit balikat siya "Wala tayong magagawa." Aniya na ikinahalikhik nila

Napapailing nalang ako habang tinutuyo ko ang buhok ko. Total ay tatlong kama naman ang narito ay mukhang napaghati-hati na nila at mukhang makakatabi ko nga si Serena, habang si Aya at Jean naman, Grace at Abby ang magkakatabi.

Si Abby ay nakasandal ang likod sa dingding at nagbabasa pa rin niyong libro niya. Si Jean ay naka indian seat katabi ang nakadapang si Aya, gayon din sina Serena at Grace na parang nananaginip ng gising.

"You know you should really start making efforts in your relationship with Kairous e. Look at us, baka maunahan kapa naming lahat magkalove life."

Napabaling ako sa nagsalitang si Grace "Good for you guys if may mga love life na kayo. I still believe that being single doesn't make my life less happy or you being in a relationship doesn't make you a lot happier." I said and I was serious but Serena laughed at what I said like it was some sort of a joke

"What? like the tables have turned, at ikaw naman ang walang love life ngayon?" Tawa pa niya "Geez, for a moment there you sounded like one of those single defenders out there trying to defend themselves that they're happy despite being alone and debating that they are content on their own, but in reality they just don't have a choice." Mahabang paliwanag niya

"Ouch." Jean commented "Maria Serena ate and left no crumbs."

"Well, I'm not one of them." I laid myself on the bed even if my hair hasn't fully dried yet. "I could get myself a boyfriend if I want to."

"So bakit nga ba ayaw mo?" Masama akong napatingin kay Aya

"Because I'm not that desperate. Now, will you all just call it a day, and go to sleep?" I felt irritated

"Woah. Jealous girlfriend alert!" si Aya

I irritably squeezed my eyes and faced her again "I'm not his girlfriend!"

"..." Aya

"Yeah, guys h'wag niyo nang kulitin si Tiara, hindi nga siya girlfriend e. Pero T?" Napatingin ako kay Ena "You didn't deny the jealous part, so.. are you?"
