"What's wrong?" Marahan nyang sabi habang nakahawak sa kamay ko.
I look down and look at our intertwined hands.
I am scared of letting his hands go, ayokong magkatotoo yong nangyari kanina lang! I don't want to let go of him, sya lang ang meron ako, sya lang ang nagparamdam sa akin kung paano magmahal.
"Hey Babe. Are you okay? Why are you crying? Is their something wrong? Tell me" nag-aalala nya talagang sabi.
I sigh heavily.
"I'm okay" nakangiti kong sabi. He shook his head.
"Hindi yan ang nakikita ko" I sigh heavily and look at him.
"Napagtripan lang ako but I am okay now, gusto ko lang ilabas ang nararamdaman ko" mahinahon kong sabi.
"Ilang beses ko ng nalaman na may nant-trip sayo pero hindi kita nakitang umiyak" seryoso nyang sabi.
Yes, he's right. He really now every detailed on me, hindi ko man sabihin sa kanya na ganito ako o ganyan ang ugali ko pero napapansin nya. May alam nga sya sa akin na hindi ko alam! I don't know how he did that but I am so amazed and falling to him because of that.
I swallowed hard.
"Hindi mo naman ako lolokohin diba?" Mahina kong tanong.
"What?...why would I do that?" Kunot noo nyang sabi.
Kinuha ko ang phone ko at pinakita ang numero na nakuha ko kay Belle. Nakakunot ang noo nyang kinuha ang phone ko para tignan ang numero.
"Whose this? Bakit mo tinawagan to? May ginawa ba tong masama sayo?" I shook my head.
"That was your number in Belle's phone" i said while looking on his faced.
Kitang-kita ko kung paano kumunot ang noo nya lalo at na confuse sa sinabi ko.
Though alam ko ng hindi sya ang tumawag sa phone ni Belle, iba pa rin kapag mula na sa kanya, nawala ang agam-agam sa puso ko! Na alam mo sa sarili mo na, mahal talaga ako nito at hindi ako lolokohin.
"My number? How come my iba akong number?" Lito nyang sabi. I just stared on him, hindi nagsalit kaya napatingin sya sa akin.
"Don't tell me you cried because of this?" I nod.
"What?...This is not me, ni hindi nga ako maka load ng phone ko, bibili pa ako ng bagong sim!?...what the fuck! Whose this motherfucker!" Malutong nyang sabi.
Tinawagan nya ang numero, madilim na ang kanyang mukha na para bang handa nang supukin ang taong nasa likod nito.
"Hello! Whose this? Why did you use my identity to call my goddam girlfriend!" Galit na galit nyang sabi mukhang sinagot sa kabilang linya.
Yumuko ako at pinaglaruan ang kamay ko. Hindi talaga sya ang tumawag kay Belle! He will never do that to me.
"Hey! Just talk before I will find out who are you asshole! Try to mess with my girl again and I will not think twice to kill you!" Madiin nyang sabi.
"I will track this number"
"Huwag na"
"Anong huwag na?...do you think mananahimik lang ako? No way! You cried, na saktan ka! I won't forgive who behind this one! Masisira pa tayo! Fuck!" Galit nyang sabi.
I reach his hand at pinaupo sya sa tabi ko.
"I mean, huwag na. I know kung sino ang nantrip sa akin" mahinahon kong sabi.
"Then tell me who do this?"
"Si Belle" simple kung sabi.
Umigting ang panga nya at mas lalong dumilim ang kanyang mukha.
