She's my Kaleidoscope (COMPLETED)

Chapter 32

- As promise here's another update. We often tend to judge people by their attitude and behavior without even knowing the reason behind it.

My throat doesn’t feel right. I open my eyes and see the worried face of Paulo

“Rein buti gising ka na. Kamusta pakiramdam mo?”

I don’t know why but I feel dismay. I was expecting to see him here.

“O-okay na ko. Medyo masakit na lang yung lalamunan ko”

“Dahil yan sa nainom mong tubig. Rein I’m sorry” he said

“Para san?”

“For not being there to save you. Nagkakatuwaan kasi kami hindi ko tuloy nakita yung nangyari sayo. I’m sorry”

“Pau hindi ka dapat mag-sorry. Wala ka namang kasalanan. May bumunggo saken kaya ako nahulog”

“But still..sabi ko kay tita na iingatan kita and I almost broke that promise”

“Pau, tigilan mo na yung pag-alala kasi okay na ko” I assured him

“Natakot lang ako. I almost loose you” nagulat ako ng bigla niya kong yakapin. Nasa ganon kaming posisyon ng bumukas yung pinto.

“Sorry, balik na lang ulit ako” he was about to leave when I stop him

“Dave we need to talk”

He turned around and look at Pau.

“Sige Rein dun na muna ako sa labas” paalam niya

I just nod

“Kamusta na pakiramdam mo?” he asked

“I’m fine. Thank you Dave for saving me” I said

“It was nothing. Amber says she’s sorry”

Hearing that girl’s name automatically pissed me off “Para namang totoo…”

“Hindi niya daw sinasadya Rein. Nagmamadali kasi siya” he explained. Why is he like this? Ako yung kaibigan niya di ba? He should’ve been on my side and hindi yung pinagtatanggol niya pa yun?

Hindi ko na napigilan yung sarili ko “Nakakainis ka!...”

He rushed to my side and wipe away the tear from my eye. “Sorry Rein, please don’t cry”

I looked at him “Bakit ka kasi ganyan? Ano bang nangyari Dave? May problema ba?”

“Wag mo na lang akong pansinin Rein. Don’t stess yourself”

“Are you kidding me? Ilang araw ko ng iniisip kung bakit ka nagkakaganyan tapos sasabihin mo saken na wag ko ng pansinin? Bakit? I need an answer Dave….akala ko ba ikaw si Chuckie Man?”

“I..”..he looked away and I can see that he’s having trouble composing himself

I reached for his hand “Dave bakit ka lumalayo?”

He looked at me “Dahil kailangan…” I sense pain in his voice

“Ipa-intindi mo saken. Kasi hindi ko na alam gagawin ko. …” I looked down

He entwined his hand with mine and in that moment everything feels right.

“Rein, alam mo naman na ..mahal kita di ba? Dahil k-kaibigan kita kaya I want you to be happy. May mga nagbago man saten that doesn’t change the fact na I care for you. I’m just giving you time to face your happiness, him.”
