Taming the Blue Skies ( Boy's Love )

16: Everything

16: Everything

Months have passed by quickly. Hindi ko rin ito na pansin. Siguro ay dahil na rin sa sobrang pagka busy ko. Last week na ng April kaya todo-plano na sila about sa gagawin namin this summer.

Gusto ko sana, ‘yung kami lang ni Lavish ang magkasama to enjoy the summer. Pero mapilit ‘tong circles ko, gusto rin nilang sumama.

Pinag i-isipan ko nga kung anong reason ang sasabihin ko sa kanila para mahiwalay lang kami ni Lavish sa kanila eh! Hindi ko pa sinasabi kay Lavish ang about sa gala namin. Maybe, kapag sure na, saka ko na sasabihin sa kaniya.

A lot of things changed, hindi lang sa amin ni Lavish, kundi pati na rin sa circles ko. Sa schedule namin ni Lavish, masiyadong conflict kaya minsan ko nalang siya Makita sa isang linggo.

“Sama kayo?” Loki asked,

“Saan?” Sevi asked,

“Coffee shop diyan sa may tapat.” he said,

“Tara, na-una na si Zach doon. Hinihintay nalang daw tayo.” Vinny said,

Naninibago ako, kasi halos araw-araw na naming kasama si Vinny kumpara dati. Ang dami talagang nangyari, tapos ngayon si Zach naman at Sevi ang hindi okay. I don't know what's happening between my circles. Maybe I should ask them now?

“Uwi na—”

Before Sevi could answer, I quickly cut him off. Natigilan naman silang lahat. Everything went silent. Parang kumalma ang mundo pagkatapos kong sabihin ang mga katagang iyon.

“Is there something wrong going on between you and Zach?” natahimik si Sevi, they're looking at me at bumalik kay Sevi.

“Wala,” Sevi answered casually,

“Then why are you-”

“Let's go, hindi ako magtatagal. I'm busy.” he cut me off.

Just like what Sevi said, hindi nga siya nagtagal doon. Parang ayaw nga niyang makita si Zach eh. They're so close to each other but their gaze is far from it. Magkatabi sila at parehong tahimik.

A minute later, Sevi left. My curiosity hits me hard to the point that I confronted Zachary at the restroom. I let my fingers run down the zipper on my pants. Magkatabi kami ni Zach kaya alam kong narinig niya ang sinabi ko.

Unfortunately, he acted dumb. I keep on asking him but he keeps on turning different pages. Hindi kami magka-intindihan. Hindi ko na siya pinilit na sabihin sa akin ang dahilan. Lalabas na sana ako nang bigla siyang nagsalita.

“I-I... broke him. I broke Severin... I broke his precious heart...”

When I looked at him, his eyes were turning into a river. He cried silently. No words nor sounds, just pure silence. All I could do was embrace him. It must be hard for him too. I wonder how Sevi’s going to react if Zachary tells him the truth.

We stayed in our position until Zachary’s burden went lighter than before. Kumalma na siya, hindi gaya kanina. We fixed ourselves before going out. We didn't talk about it anymore. I just keep my mouth shut as Zachary wanted.

Ilang oras lang kami tumambay roon, may pasok pa kasi kami. Bumalik lang din kami sa Univ, dumeretiyo ako sa room ko for my subject this afternoon. Wala pang mga students kaya nag review muna ako ng notes, baka may surprise quiz. Ang lala pa naman ng Prof namin kung magbigay ng quiz.

Lav:
Saan ka mamaya?

Lav:
Wala na akong class :)

Imbes na mag-review, wala na. Eto na ako at nakikipag-usap sa kaniya. Hindi ko kayang pigilan ‘yung tinitibok ng itlog ko.
