27th Chapter

Chapter 27

"Andy!" I shouted as I tried to catch up to him

"Dana, wait," Dave said, gasping.

Si Dave. Nakita din kaya niya?

"Dave..." mahinang sabi ko nang maramdaman ko ang pagtulo ng luha ko. These tears are traitor. He embraced me and caressed my back

"Shh. Pabayaan mo muna si Andy. He needs time to think."

"Pero baka ma-misinterpret niya yung nangyari..."

"Like what I've said, give him space and time. Si Andy yun. He's a tough guy. But believe me, you don't know everything about him. So I'm telling you, just let him cool down..."

Funny to think, wala nga akong alam kay Andy. What do I know about him? His name, birthday. Darn, I don't even know where he lives. But I have this fucking guts to tell myself that I like him? How stupid of me

"Yeah. Tama ka. Just inform me kung alam mo kung saan siya pumunta, alright?"

"Sure."

Then we parted ways. 

Screw this life. Bakit ba sunud sunod ang kamalasan na dumadating sa buhay ko? Tell me, kailan 'to hihinto? Kapag tuluyan ng nawala lahat ng taong pinapahalagahan ko? Kapag tuluyan na akong tinakasan ng katinuan?

"Dana..."

"Sara."

I ran towards her. I cried. I cried like a baby

"Shh. Tama na. Alam kong hindi totoo yung mga pictures na 'yun..."

"Bakit ikaw alam na hindi totoo yun? Bakit sila naniniwala? Bakit si Andy ganun?"

"You can't blame them. Yun yung nakita nila. People who judge from the first look are ignorants."

"I don't care. Wala naman akong pakielam sa iisipin nila eh. What i care about is what Andy thinks.. And he thinks I'm a slut..."

"No. If he really knows you, he wouldn't think like that."

"I really wish..."

"Tara na sa room."

"Room? After all of these mess, pag aaral pa din ang iniisip mo?"

"Ano gusto mo? Ayoko ng dead air. Mas gusto kong makinig sa lessons kaysa magmukmok sa bahay..."

"Stupid, sino bang nagsabing sa condo mo tayo pupunta?"

"Then saan tayo pupunta?"

"Who's up for a movie?"

Geez. I'm so lucky to have a friend like her. I know I can count on her.

We went to the mall. We watched movie. Comedy yung pinapanood namin pero hindi man lang ako matawa. Nagshopping kami, hindi man lang ako nag enjoy. Kumain kami, hindi man lang ako nabusog. So, ganito pala ang feeling ng broken hearted disappointed?

Nasa bar ko si Andy. Punta ka dto. Asap

"Sara, pwede bang iwan na kita?"

"Bakit?"

"Kailangan kong puntahan si Andy."

"Bakit? Anong meron?"

"I don't know. Pero kailangan kong pumunta dun."

"Paano 'tong pinamili natin?"

"Ikaw na magdala sa unit ko. Alam mo naman yung pc di ba?"
