CHAPTER 24
QUESTION MARKS
Lana's POV
We had a lot of loving memories of each other
during our teenage years.
Have you ever thought what may have happened,
if I hadn't left you?
At that moment, my heart stopped beating. I felt lightheaded as I met his intense gaze. He sounded so serious... Walang bahid ng pagbibiro ang tono ng pananalita niya.
"Lana?" I jumped when someone from behind shouted my name. Agad kong nilingon ang pamilyar na boses na 'yon.
"Felix?" Dali-dali siyang tumakbo palapit sa akin. "Anong ginagawa mo dito?"
"Bibisitahin pa lang sana kita sa school mo dahil ang tagal na nating hindi nagkikita, kaso sa haba ng byahe, nagutom kami nila Ate kaya dumaan muna kami dito sa mall. Buti na lang nandito ka na. I didn't have to travel to MDU in order to see you." He laughed and gave me a hug.
I was going to embrace him back when I heard Kiel fake a cough. Lumayo na si Felix at tiningnan ang katabi ko. "Hey," pormal na bati niya.
Tumango lang si Kiel at hindi umimik. He looked irritated. Magkasalubong ang mga kilay niya at magkadikit na magkadikit ang mga labi.
Was he upset that our conversation was cut off by my best friend? Sa totoo lang, kabaliktaran naman ang naramdaman ko ngayon. I feel extremely relieved that Felix entered the scene. Kung hindi dahil sa kanya, baka hindi ako nakaalis sa sitwasyong iyon. I was too startled by Kiel's question, I don't think I can give him an answer.
Ilang beses naulit ang mga ganoong tanong niya. Tuwing nakakatsempo, humihirit talaga siya na para bang gusto niya talaga akong maging girlfriend. I always try to shrug off Kiel's jokes but the more he says things like that, the more I seem to get confused with his actions.
Noong una, hindi ko naman iniisip iyon. For me, he's just playing around. Playboy siya kaya mahilig magbiro na tila ba gusto niya ako. I copied him and teased him too. Pero parang nagiging totoo na kasi.
"Lana, makikipag-blind date kami sa mga taga AIS. Gusto mo sumama sa'min?"
"Huy, may Kiel na 'yan."
"Ay oo nga pala. Sorry, we forgot you're already dating him."
Ngumiti ako at napailing sa mga kaklase ko. "Hindi nga kami."
"Pero sinusundo ka palagi."
"Gawain ba 'yon ng kaibigan lang?"
"Speaking of the prince charming, ayan na siya."
Naghagikgikan sila kaya naman nilingon ko na ang pintuan ng classroom namin. True enough, Kiel was leaning on the door, waiting for me to approach him. I paused for a second to stare at him.
