My Love From The Stage

Chapter 15

What's your problem?

Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit kailangan pang isama ni Ma'am Juliana si Dj sa usapan namin ngayon. But to be honest, he has nothing to do with this.

Ang awkwars tuloy dahil hinihintay nila ako magsalita.

"Gusto ko na pong itigil ang ginagawa ko. It's distracting me to my school and my Mother told me to stop." Finally, I said something.

Umawang ang labi ni Ma'am Juliana at tumingin kay Dj bago pa makapagsalita. Si Dj naman ay walang reaksyon ang kaniyang mukha.

Dapat nga kitang-kita ang kasiyahan sa mukha niya ngayon, eh. 'Cause finally his dream is coming true. Mawawala na ako sa buhay niya. At hindi ko na siya guguluhin pa.

"Why? It is because of what happened yesterday? Dj came here to say sorry-"

"What?" Hindi inaasahan ni Dj 'yon. Hindi naman ako nagulat dahil as if ding mag so'sorry 'yan 'no.

Siniko siya ni Ma'am Juliana. He just shooked his head. Nanahimik. Napailing din ako dahil alam kong hindi naman talaga totoo 'yon.

"Hindi naman po dahil do'n. I just realized that I am getting distracted at nadadamay na ang pag-aaral ko. And my Mother did not know about this, nalaman niya lang kagabi at sinabi niya ding itigil ko na kaya..." tumango na lamang ako.

Napaisip naman si Ma'am Juliana. "I thought your parents knew since you mentioned when I asked you to wear bikini, your parents will not allow you." Sabi niya naman sa akin.

Tumango naman ako. Nagu'guilty dahil nga ginawa ko 'yon. Sising-sisi na ako sa ginawa ko kaya ngayon ay hindi ko na uulitin 'yon. I'll just be honest with anything. Besides, I have nothing to lose.

"Hindi po nila alam. I did not told them anything about this." I confesses to her. She was surprised. Hindi niya aasahan sa akin 'yon.

"I-I get your point but what you signed is a contract, Mavis. You can't just leave because we had an agreement." Umawang ang labi ko. "Besides, it's just 5 more months. After that, hahayaan ka na namin." She assured me and gave me a sweet smile.

Inabot niya ang kamay ko. "Please think this thoroughly. I don't want to lose you." Dagdag niya pa ng may punong sinserya sa kaniyang mata.

Huminga naman ako ng malalim. I already know that this would happen. Na may kontrata nga, 5 more months. I'll just explain this to Mommy I guess. And in those 5 months, I'll just have to bear being with this guy.

Tumingin ako sakaniya. Bahagyang nanlaki ang mata ko habang nakakrus ang kaniyang braso habang nakatingin sa akin. Seryoso ang kaniyang mukha.

"Wait, I'll just answer this." Tumayo si Ma'am Juliana. Hindi pa nga ako nakakatingin sakaniya ay umalis na siya.

"You want to quit?" He started. Tumaas naman ang kilay ko.

"Shouldn't you be happy about it?" Tanong ko pabalik.

He scoffed. "Just because of what happened aalis ka na?" Sarkastikong tanong niya. I shut my eyes and sighed heavily.

"It's not that. I already explained earlier. Hindi ka ba nakikinig?" Nagsalubong ang kaniyang kilay sa tanong ko na 'yon.

"Isang beses lang naman 'yon." I licked my lower lip.

"Kahit pa hindi nangyari 'yon ay talagang titigil na ako. Huwag mo naman isipin na ikaw lagi ang rason." I rolled my eyes at him.

Tumaas ang kaniyang kilay. Like he was taken a back on what I said and that he did not expect that from me. Tumango naman ako. Like what he is hearing and seeing right now is real.
