Ikalabing pitong Kabanata

Alyssa Montelibano

"Umuwi ka pala Alyssa." Patrick inquired with a bit of mockery on his voice.

Napabuntong hininga  ako bago sumagot. "Hindi ba obvious? Hindi mo naman siguro makikita dito sa harap mo kung hindi ako umuwi diba?" Pilosopong sagot ko.

Natawa si Patrick at napahigpit ang paghawak ni Sophie sa braso ko. "Pilosopo ka pa din talaga kahit kailan. Hanggang kailan ka dito?"

God, Patrick, please stop asking questions. Wag mo na akong pahirapan pa. "I will be here for good."

Patrick arched a brow. "Talaga? Bakit naman? Ayaw mo na ba dun sa Laguna?"

Ayoko ng mapanuyang tono mo Patrick, ayoko talaga. Why are you like this? Did I did this to you?

I fake a smirk at him. "Hindi naman sa ayaw, pero magproproceed kasi ako ng engineering so kailangang magresign sa trabaho."

Tumango tango siya. "But why here? As far as I know madami din namang schools na nag-aaccept ng TUPV proceeders sa manila ah."

Self control please. "Mas mura dito eh." I shrugged my shoulder.

"Yon lang? Yon lang ba ang rason mo?" He asked edging from his motorcycle seat.

"Bakit? May iba pa ba?" Tanong ko din sa kanya, challenging him to say it, whatever he is implying.

Kumibit balikat lang siya. "Hindi ko alam, may iba pa nga ba?"

"Wala na, yon lang." I smiled at him, fake at that. "Anyway, mauna na kami ni Sophie. Have a nice day."

Agad agad ko naman kinaladkad si Sophie palayo sa kay Patrick papunta ng bahay nila. Si Patrick naman ay agad namang pinaadar ulit ang kanyang motor at humarurot na palayo din sa amin. Gosh, my heart was pounding heavily inside my chest and I could already let out my breath that I was kinda holding as the both of us talked.

"That was intense!" Sophie cried as she watched Patrick turned by the curve.

"Anong intense?" Nagugulohan na tanong ko kanya.

"Edi kayong dalawa ni Kuya!" Masayang sambit niya. "Alam mo parang ito ata ang first time na may na witness akong babaeng ganun kung makapagkausap kay Kuya. Kasi kung hindi nagfiflirt eh nahihiya yong iba pagnakakausap niya, pero ikaw, wow! Iba talaga ang level."

Napailing na lang ako sa pinagsasabi ni Sophie. "Alam mo Soph, hindi ko maintindihan yang pinagsasabi mo pero bahala ka kung ano ang isipin mo sa kung ano man ang nakita mo dahil ako ay uuwi na."

"Alam mo Aly, may isa lang akong na isip dito." Dagdag niya bago pa ako umuwi.

"Ano yon?" Kunot noong tanong ko sa kanya.

"That the both of are still in love with each other." Sagot niya.

Natawa ako. "That's absurb Sophie, he is not still in love with me. Bitter siguro sa akin baka oo pa. And what's with each other huh? Wala naman akong sinabi na in love ako sa kuya mo ah."

Umiling si Sophie. "Uh uh, I know that you have something with my brother ever since Alyssa. Kahit nga si Mama ay alam yan eh. You admire him ever since you knew him."

Shit, was I that obvious before? Yes, I do admire Patrick Gamboa even before I knew his name or even before I became Sophie's best friend in highschool. And that admiration was could also called a crush but that was it. Hindi ko nga talaga matatawag na love yon kahit na puppy love.
