Down to Earth

Chapter 6

Viel's POV

Naglakad na sya palayo saken. Masakit pa din talaga. Alam ko namang wala akong karapatang masaktan, pero kase mahal na mahal ko si Nathlene.

Hindi ko sya niloko. I was set up and blackmailed that time. Nakakainis kase di ko nagawa ipaglaban kung ano man yung meron samin dati.

Naglakad na din ako palabas ng campus.

"Kamusta, Viel?"

Napalingon ako sa nagsalita. Nayukom ko yung kamao ko. Don't tell me nandito nanaman sya para mang gulo?

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked. She just smirked.

"Sa pagkakaalam ko kase, amin tong school na to'. Ofcourse im here para mag aral." She said.

"Don't fool me. Kilala kita." I said.

Tumawa sya. "You're same Viel that i know." She said.

"Di ka pa ba kuntento? Ano nanaman bang gagawin mo? Ano nanamang pinaplano mo? Matagal na kameng wala ni Nathlene. Matagal mo ng sinira kung ano ang meron kame."

Tumawa sya. She fvckin' weird.

"Don't worry. Tapos na ko sa inyo ni Nathlene. Oh, i gotta go Viel! See you around." She said at naglakad palayo.

Maglalakad na ulit sana ako ng may humawak sa braso ko. Nilingon ko kung sino, it was Nathlene. Nagulat ako.

"Nathlene?"

"Viel, what was i heard?" She asked. Narinig pala nya yung pinag usapan namen ni Freya.

"Wala yun. You don't want to hear anything from me, right? Sige Nathlene. Mauna na ko."

Tinalikuran ko na sya. Gusto kong ipaliwanag sa kanya lahat ng nangyari, two years ago. Pero alam ko naman na hindi nya ko papaniwalaan.

"I'll you let explain. But don't expect me to believe you."

I sigh. Nilingon ko sya.

"Okay, then let's talk." I said.

Umupo kami sa bench. Wala na masyadong tao ngayon, kase kanina pa tapos ang school hours.

"Talk. I'll listen." She said.

Huminga ako ng malalim bago nagsalita.

"Two years ago. You know that Freya was really obssessed with me."

"Yeah. That bitch. I wanna pull her hair out of her scalp." Sabi nya. Gusto kong matawa, pero pinigilan ko muna. She's still the same Nathlene before.

"Kinausap ko sya that time, i said na tantanan nya na tayo. Um-oo sya. I was to left her that time but she pull me and kissed me. I didn't know na ginawa nya yun kase nakita ka nya na palapit samen." Paliwanag ko sa kanya. Totoo lahat ng sinabi ko.

"You can push her away. And you didn't even follow me when i walk out." She said.

"Pinagbantaan nya ko na may gagawin syang masama sayo pag hindi ko sinabing kami na ni Freya at niloloko lang kita."

"Then why you didn't fight for me?! And why you didn't tell me about that time?! You selfish jerk!" Sabi nya. Tumingin ako sa kanya.

She was crying fvck. I made her cry again! Ang gago ko talaga.

Hinila ko sya at niyakap ng mahigpit. Ang bilis nanaman ng tibok ng puso ko. She was the only one who can made my heartbeats fast.

"Selfish nga ko. But inisip ko lang yung kapakanan mo that time. I know na kayang gawin ni Freya yung sinabi nya."

Umiiyak pa din sya. Hinawakan ko yung mukha nya at pinunasan yung mga luha nya.

"Sshh. Fvck, don't cry Lene." I said.

"All this time akala ko niloko mo ko. I felt so much pain and hatred." She said.

"Give me a second chance, Lene. I will make it up to you. I will make you, fall inlove with me again. Please, Nathlene. I loved you. I love you, and i will stay loving you." I said at niyakap ko sya.

"You don't need to make me fall for you again. Because i never fell out of love for you."

Napangiti ako. May natutunan ako mula sa past namen. You know, love is more sweeter the second time around.
