Game of Love

Chapter 18 <> The Aftermath

Chapter 18 <> The Aftermath

                July 14

            The alarm rang loud so I was forced to wake up.  Hmmm . . . it felt like a dream.  A very nice dream.  Three days had passed since the party that’s why it felt like a long distant dream.  After that night, no calls, no messages and no Ryuu.  I’m not even sure if that scene really happened.  If this was a fairy tale after that kiss, a happy ever after would likely happen.  Sadly, this is real life.

                I shouldn’t have expected anything.  I shouldn’t have made a fool out of myself.  I didn’t even think na baka trap lang iyon but it sounded so real that it made me believe.  Besides, I’m not even sure kung ano na ang totoo sa hindi.  My feelings have clouded everything.  Arghh! What’s happening to me? 

                Hindi lang ang no contact ni Ryuu ang problema pero the Femmes are oddly quiet about what happened to the party and I’m not even sure kung nakita nila iyong scene namin ni Ryuu.  This is all my fault dahil I was easily carried away.  What am I going to do now?

                I stood up and headed for the bathroom dahil baka ma-late pa ako sa first subject ko.  Wala naman mangyayari kahit buong araw kong pag-isipan ang mga nangyari dahil wala naman ang source ng problema ko.  What the hell happened to him?

                Nakasalubong ko si Mima sa hallway at I didn’t know what happened to me pero bigla ko siyang pinigil para huminto maglakad at nagtanong.

                “Mima, anong gagawin mo kapag hinalikan ka ng isang lalaki tapos biglang nawala na lang?” I asked rapidly.

                “Ate, okay ka lang? Elementary student lang ako wala akong alam sa ganyan,” she said incredulously .

                “You’re right. I shouldn’t have asked you about this,” I said to her dazedly.  Shit. What the hell’s wrong with me?

                “Ate para kang naliligaw dahil ba kay kuya Ryuu?” she said with her foreheads scrunched. Uh oh. Mabilis pa naman magalit si Mima.

                “Nah, I’m fine don’t worry,” I said smiling while patting her head.

                “Well, if you say so pero ate kung ako sayo batukan mo siya ng maraming beses,” she said while walking away.  Eh, ano daw??

                “Huh? Bakit naman?” I said to her retreating back.

                “Eh kasi duwag!” pasigaw niyang sabi.

                I can’t help myself from laughing.  Mima just concluded  everything using simple words.  I can’t believe it.  I didn’t think Ryuu could be a coward.  Is it possible that he’s— nah I think I’m just hallucinating.  Besides, malaking problema iyon sa femmes kung in love kami sa isa’t-isa.  Mind over matter!!! Waahh! I smacked myself suddenly to sidetrack myself. 

                “Ate, kapag napunta ka sa mental, ide-deny ko na kapatid kita,” Nina said to me as she was passing by.

                I just laughed at her.  I really love my sisters so much.  I’d better finish preparing or I’m really going to be late.

                I entered the school gate sluggishly kasi nagcommute lang ako.  Since Monday, kasi hindi na ako hinahatid ni Ryuu.  This is so pathetic.  I kinda missed him.  Of course not romantically!  I mean wala nang naghahatid sa akin or sumusundo or magbibigay ng breakfast kasi laging nakakalimutan ko.
