So wala pa pala ni isang POV si Wes sa present? kaya naman may konti pong included dito, :3
Chapter 11
College Year
Wesley’s POV
“Mukhang malalim ang iniisip mo anak,” bati ni papa habang nag-oobserve ako sa may garden.
Lumingon ako sa kaniya sabay iling. “It’s nothing.” Tapos bumalik ulit ako sa pagmamasid sa garden namin.
“Actually, there’s something you need to know,”
“Say it Wesley, I’m listening.”
“She’s back,”
“I thought you’d never inform me,”
“You knew about it?”
Umupo si papa sa bench na inu-upuan ko. “Si Jessica, sinabi niya sa’kin.”
Ugh. Bakit ba kailangan makialam ni Jessica dito? Pati sa paghandle ko ng gagawin every time Angela is around kelangan niya sumali. I know she’s my girlfriend, but she should still know her limits. We’re in a relationship, yes, but that doesn’t mean she needs to interfere with the things I do.
“Pumunta nga pala dito si Jessica kanina. Wala ka. Saan ka ba nanggaling?”
“Some distant place. I needed some time to think,”
“Is she bothering you?”
She. Of course kay Angela nakadirekta ‘yon. Is she bothering me? Definitely not. I am the one bothering her, in fact. Pero bakit? I may have been up for some bitter revenge the first time I saw her a few weeks ago. Pero at some point hindi ko alam kung bakit tuwing makikita ko siya, I feel pitiful when I should really be feeling the opposite. But Pity is not a suitable welcome gift for her. That’s why I did what I did, and I have to do what I am just about to do.
“Are you staying here tomorrow?” tinanung ko si papa kahit hindi ko pa nasasagot yung tanung niya.
“No,”
“How about for the weekend?”
“I’m not sure, why?”
“I need your permission. Kelangan kong gamitin ‘tong garden,” winave ko yung hand ko sa place, “For school project.”
“Wes,” nagulat na lang ako nang biglang i-patong ni papa yung kamay niya sa balikat ko. “Are you sure you have to do this?”
Oh. Why have I forgotten? I’m sure nakwento na rin sa kaniya ni Jess yung tungkol dito.
“She has to feel the pain. Papa, she came back. She has to feel what I felt.” Sa mga pagkakataong sinabi ko ‘yon, hindi ko mapaliwanag kung bakit may konting twinge ng guilt na bumalot sa mga salitang ‘yon.
Tumayo si papa, “You know, sometimes it’s better to bury the past and completely forget about it.” After he said that, nag-bid siya ng good bye sa akin at umalis na rin kaagad. Naiwan ako sa garden na medyo surprised dahil sa sinabi niya.
It must be genuine—his words. Nagawa na kaya niya yun? Nagawa na kaya niya talagang kalimutan ang lahat pagkatapos sirain ng isang babae ang buhay namin? Imposible. A year ago, I’m sure hindi niya masasabi yung mga sinabi niya kani-kanina lang. It must’ve been brought by the pills he’s taking. They calm him down and make him think things pero pagkatapos magwear off alam kong imposibleng makalimutan niya ang nakaraan.
What Angela did is hardly forgivable.
