BL: AIMING FOR YOUR HEART

Chapter Twenty-five

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

Around six in the evening dumating rin si Ron. Ron is Amory's volleyball teammate na mutual friend din nila si Rain. At mula noong mangyari ang insidente kay Rain lagi narin itong nakikihang out sa kanila.

It wasn't a shock to him dahil may attitude talaga ito na feeling close kung minsan.

"Wow di niyo napansin yung nasa leeg ni Amory?" nang-aasar na tanong ni Ron.

Naiinis na binato niya ito ng tsinelas na nahawakan niya galing sa ilalim ng sofa.

"Napansin na naming kanina pa, ayaw lang naming sabihin dahil ayaw naman pag-usapan sex life ng lalaking to." Sagot ni Ismael.

"Pero ako gusto kong pag-usapan kung idedescribe mo ang sex life ngayon kamusta?" Pang-asar parin ni Ron.

"Ten out of ten." Confident na sagot ni Amory na agad namang nakatanggap ng batok sa katabing si Mico.

They hang out together in Rain's house hanggang kailangan na niyang umuwi dahil pinapauwi na siya ng kaniyang Mommy. Medyo napagalitan pa nga siya dahil kadarating lang daw ng mga ito naglalakuwatsa na agad siya. He just silently listened to the sermon at umakyat na sa kuwarto pagkatapos makapag hapunan.

He checked his phone nang matapos siyang magshower pero wala parin text galling kay Sebastian.Hays bahala nga ito.

Pero maya-maya lang ay siya rin ang hindi nakatiis at nagtext dito ng 'hey' at 'goodnight'. He didn't reply for the time Amory waited kaya nagpasya nalang siyang matulog.

When he woke up in the morning, ang phone agad ang binisita but to no avail there was still no reply from Seb.

Kinamusta ni Bettina kung nag-away ba sila ni Sebastian dahil sa picture and he answered na mukhang nainis ito sa kaniya. He also explained that it was all a friendly date at taken na ngayon ang dati niyang nobya.

Bettina said that Sebastian does really sometime becomes tightfisted to the things he doesn't want to share, and maybe ayaw lang daw siya nitong ishare sa iba at baka daw in love na ito sa kaniya. Nag-usap na naman ang dalawang delusional.

Sinamahan niya ang Mommy niyang magshopping ng grocery nila sa S&R that morning. They had lunch and dinner again as a family.

Pagkarating ng Monday and the succeeding days, nabusy siya sa pagpractice ng volleyball at sa paghahabol ng backlogs.

When UAAP came, they won at pasado sila hanggang sa parating na semi-finals ng laro. So to celebrate manlilibre na naman si Captain Elijah ng bar na agad namang sinang-ayunan ng lahat.

Nagpaalam siya sa Mom niyang nanuod ng laro na magcecelebrate muna sila, his mom asked kung papaano ang uwi niya and he answered na ihahatid nalang siya ni Ron, pinaalalahan lang siya nitong mag-ingat. His dad is in Manila for work at uuwi rin ito sa Probinsiya dahil hindi ito puwede na magtagal ng wala sa office so hindi ito nakanuod ng laro niya.

They were partying wild in the club at parang mga bagong laya palang—bago laya sa walang sawang training. When Amory rested on their table habang ang mga teammates niya ay nasa dancefloor parin at sumasabay sa tugtugan ng DJ may lumapit sa kaniyang babae.

"Hi Amory honey..." He smiled at the girl who called him that, it has been a long time since narinig niya ang endearment na iyon because he doesn't go partying at night anymore or go to school events dahil nga mas nag-eenjoy sila ni Sebastian na indoors nalang mag spend time together.

Girls at his school and those who knows him at clubs usually use the 'honey' endearment nanggaling yun sa pagiging sweetboy niya noong freshman. It is derived also from the joke he made with a senior once na nakuhaan ng video at nagviral, he said in the video that his skin is sweet like honey and the senior touched the skin on his face but he said, she had to taste it to know. It was a flirtatious kind of joke pero nagviral nga at honey na ang tawag ng mga ito sa kaniya.

"Hi!" He waved back and the girl induced it as an invitation to sit beside him. Napakamot nalang siya ng ulo at hindi nalang ito tinaboy.

" I watched the game and you did a really great job." Paumpisang pakikipag-usap nito. Sinakop nito ang espasyo sa pagitan nilang dalawa at mas lumapit ng upo sa kaniya.

"Oh well...thank you." He awkwardly answered.

"You look uncomfortable here, do you want to go to some other place?" She asked seductively. Alam na agad ni Amory ang pinupunto nito but she's wrong, he is not uncomfortable with the place, ang hindi siya komportable ay ang paglapit nito sa kaniya at ang paghaplos sa dibdib niya.

Inaalis niya ang kamay nito sa didbdib niya pero ibinabalik lang nito. Amory thought that she should be thankful na hindi siya kasing aggressive ni Mico at baka mabalibag na niya ito sa kakulitan nito.

"Type na type ko talaga ang mga soft boy na kagaya mo. I also like your face and you smell really nice too." Idinikit nito ang mukha sa leeg niya at sininghot-singhot siya sa parteng iyon.

Hinawakan agad ni Amory ang likod ng ulo nito para sana ilayo. Amoy na amoy niya ang matapang na amoy ng alak mula sa dalaga and he realized she must be really drunk to be doing this kind of things.

Pero nanlaki ang mga mata niya nang may mahagip ang paningin niya sa second floor ng club. He saw Sebastian watching him from upstairs while standing behind the railing of the second floor, nakatukod and dalawang braso nito sa railing habang nakasalikop ang dalawang kamay.

He was looking at him darkly. There was no sign of amusement on his face. Amory can't help but look helpless and guilty kahit wala naman siyang ginagawang masama. Agad niyang itinulak palayo ang babae pero mas inilalapit nito ang sarili sa kaniya. Halos sumampa na nga ito sa mga hita niya.

When the girl tried kissing him na muntikan ng mangyari dahil nakatingin siya kay Sebastian, agad niyang ibinalik ang tingin kay Sebastian and he was grimacing at the sight of them. Mabuti nalang dumating si Ron at hinatak ang babae palayo sa kaniya.

He uttered his thanks and nagmamadaling pumanhik sa second floor kung nasaan ang binata kanina. When he approached Sebastian who was still in his place, he scrutinizingly looked down his opened button shirt and his chest na hinahaplos nung babae kanina.

Amory tried opening his mouth to explain but Sebastian already turned his back at him. Agad naman siyang sumunod dito.

"Seb can you please listen to me first?" Amory asked pleadingly, he felt so wronged dahil wala naman siyang ginagawang masama, everything is just a misunderstanding. At palagi siya nito tinatalikuran when he is trying to explain.

Humarap ito sa kaniya and Amory was scared for a moment. He saw how Sebastian looked cold and distant to him, parang wala itong pakealam and before Amory could utter a word of explanation.

Sebastian decided to utter the words that shattered Amory's heart into pieces.

"Let's stop this now. I don't want you anymore. I don't like to share my property with others and when others get a hold of something I own, I lose interest." Sebastian said straightforwardly while looking into Amory's eyes. Pagkatapos sabihin yun ay tinalikuran siya nito.

Amory was left dumbfounded and heartbroken.

Bakit and dali lang nitong talikuran siya lagi?

This must be the time that Seb is done playing because he doesn't value to him more than a trash that can be easily discarded.

Amory looked at the floor bitterly, his tears started to welled up in his eyes. Itinaas niya ang paningin para hindi iyon tumulo. 

Gago ang sakit pala...
