GLASSES THIRTY-TWO : HE'S HURT.

Jhano's POV :

Nasa quadrangle ako ngayon at nakaupo sa bleachers habang hawak ko yung red rose, I smiled while staring at it. She'll like it for sure. I didn't had the chance to attend classes today, I was a little preoccupied of what would happen right now. Kinakabahan ako and I have always wanted to do this but I didn't had the chance.

I stared at the sky ng mapansing dumidilim ito, "Please, not today." I let out a deep sigh.

I am actually nervous, alam kong may malaking chance na matalo ako pero hindi naman masamang sumugal diba? Ngayon lang naman, baka sakaling magbago. I closed my eyes as I try to stop thinking negatively. "I still have a chance, right? Kahit konti lang meron pa naman...sana."

I let out a bitter laugh when I remembered the conversation me and Nathan had. Sa totoo lang, kinakabahan ako. Alam ko kasing totoo sinasabi nya, I just feel like may chance na ako ang piliin ni Sabrina at hindi sya even though I can clearly see how Sabrina looks at her from the very start. I know she likes me pero sapat ba 'yon na basehan? She may like but she can't love me.

She has feelings for Nathan, I can see that pero alam kong hindi nya matanggap 'yon. Alam ko namang umpisa pa lang wala na kong laban. I know Nate's serious about his feelings but I'm sure as hell that he doesn't deserve her. Sabrina's beyond his league, she's too much and Nathan will only cause trouble in her life.

"Jhano!" Naramdaman ko yung pagbilis ng tibok ng puso ko ng marinig ko yung boses nya. I immediately stood up while hiding the rose behind my back. I smiled while watching her walk towards me.

"Girlfriend," I swear I can feel my heart pounding. This is how she can affect me, just by looking at her it makes my heart go crazy. Damn, I love this girl.

"Di ka nagpakita sakin." May bakas ng pagtatampo sa boses nya, napangiti ako. Sana lagi na lang palang ganito, ano? Laging ako yung hinahanap mo.

I let out a deep breathe and slowly held her hand, "Come with me, girlfriend." She smiled but I know she feels something...alam kong nakita nya sa mata ko kung anong nararamdaman ko.

Sabrina's POV :

Gumising ako ng may halong pangamba. Hindi ko alam kung pano ko sisimulan ang araw na 'to. Kinakabahan ako sa pwedeng mangyari. Ayoko ng ganito, hindi ko kaya at kahit kailan hindi ko kakayanin. Labag man sa kalooban ko pero kailangan kong pumasok. Kailangan kong gawin to dahil kung hindi ko ito gagawin, mas masasaktan siya at mas mahihirapan lang kaming dalawa.

Sinundo ako ni Lemuel sa hospital, nasa loob kami ng elevator, walang nagtatangkang magsalita ang tanging maririnig lang ang tunog ng bawat floors. Sumulyap ako sa lalaking katabi ko, nagpakawala ako ng malalim na buntong hininga. Sinong mag - aakalang mamahalin niya ang isang tulad ko?

Kung titignan, ang hirap hirap nilang abutin pero mas pinili nyang bumaba para sakin. Alam ko na hindi ko dapat minamaliit ang sarili ko pero hindi ko inisip na mapapansin ako ng taong katulad nya. Nagpunta kami sa basement para kunin yung sasakyan nya habang nalulunod ako sa sarili kong mga iniisip, nagulat ako ng biglang hawakan niya ang kamay ko kaya napatingin ako sa kanya.
