CHAPTER 28

Sometimes even if it feels like it was the right time, meron at Merong chance na mauudlot iyon. It's because it is not the right time. Kahit pa damang dama nyo na Ang lahat ay sumasangayon, pero may pipigil sa inyo. May be, fate did that to stop you from getting closer to that person.

Katulad ko nalang. Tatlong araw ko nang iniisip Kung bakit ang bagal-bagal Kong Sabihin iyon. Samantalang tatlong salita lang naman iyon.

"Little cloud, aren't you gonna eat that?" Dad cut off my thoughts.

I blinked thrice before shaking my head.
Umagahan palang pero nasa ibang tao na kaagad ang isip ko. Kumain na Ako at iwinaksi ang lalaki. I can imagine him annoying me in the morning.

I was in the middle of eating a spoonful of food when Dad's phone rang. He look at the phone and his expression became cold and dark. He stood up and left us here.

"Mom, Is it that important for Dad to answer it, even if we are in the middle of breakfast?" I asked.

Sinong Hindi? It's been three days since I left the school dorm. Every breakfast, Launch, and dinner is our time together. We haven't tried doing something fun, something ordinary people would do with their kids. Palagi nalang tawag sa telepono nito ang nakikita nya. He would always answer that damn call in the middle of breakfast.

"Yes, darling." She said and started eating again.

I mentally rolled my eyes and started eating again. whatever. Dad couldn't focus on her food when he came back it's like something else is bothering him, so when I'm done I exited the dining room and walk towards my room upstairs.

Habang nag aaksaya ng oras para sa mga advance lessons na pinag-aaralan ko. I heard someone yelled. I rushed into the stairs but immediately stopped midway.

"She was dead!" Dad yelled.

Mom was in tears, shaking her head like she wasn't gonna believe Dad.

"No! Darril! She's not dead! Darius is not dead! Stop making things!"

My heart sank. Did I heard it right? Darius is dead? Slowly tears cascaded down to my cheeks and my heartbeat raced in emotions. I ran down the stairs and look at them with blurry sight. They were in shock, Dad was shock.

"She's Dead?" I asked, hoping I was misheard their words.

"S-sorry—"

I cut off Dad. " So, Is that the Importance of that Damn Call?!, Pano nyo na aatim na pag-usapan to nang Hindi ko alam?!" I asked.

Sobra-sobrang sakit ang nararamdaman ko.
I feel like I was betrayed. I feel like I'm not belong, and will never be. Kase Kung kasama na talaga nila ako sa buhay at sa puso, they will let me know this. They will talk about it with me.

Pero hindi e. Hindi ako aware sa topic nila.
What if I did not heard their conversation?
Mananatili akong Tanga dito? Pagmumukain nila akong Tanga? Ano? Maghihintay ako sa pag uwi ng Ate ko! Pero bangkay na pala!

" You knew how long I wished to be with her!, Tapos ang sabi nyo saakin ay ligtas sya? Is it a prank? Kase Kung oo, Tatawa na ba ako?" my voice hitch.

I cried. My sobs are heard around the house. My nose hurt in emotions. My heart melted at the sight of them. My blurry sight became more blurry as my tears cascade.
I looked at them as if blaming them.

"Tangina." Pabulong kong Pagmumura.

"Is that how you will talk with us?" Dad warned me, but I didn't bother apologizing.
I gave him the coldest stare I can give.
