Complicated Love

Chapter 33: Wow. Just wow.

Nagbago si Carl. Super.

Lagi syang cold at lagi nya kong sinusungitan. Madalas,hindi nya na ko nasusundo sa mga klase ko at madalas din,tropa nya na lang ang kasabay ko sa break time. Di ko alam kung anong problema ng lalaking yun eh. Walang balak mag-open up. Nakakainis na.

Ayoko lang awayin kasi baka lumala pa ang sitwasyong to. Hihintayin ko na lang na lapitan nya ko at kausapin. If he doesn't want to talk to me,okay then. But if the time comes that i'm totally pissed off and he talked to me,he should let me do the same. Tatarayan ko talaga sya. Tsk.

It's been 1 month since I came to their house. It's been 1 month since we're still the same. February na pero ganto pa rin kami. Hayst.

I sat down with his friends,as always.

"Oy Zia! Galawin mo nga yang pagkain mo! Kanina ka pa hindi kumikibo dyan." RJ said then snapped infront of my face.

"O-oh. Yeah. Sorry." I said to them and I started holding my spoon and fork.

"Ano ba kasing problema nyo ni pareng Carl? Isang buwan na kayong di nagu-usap ah. Space ba?" Craig said. Sya lagi ang may pake sa relasyon namin ni Carl.

"I think so?" I said to them. "I have a favor,please?"

"Ano yun?" They said.

"Pede bang kausapin nyo si Carl about dito and convince him to talk to me." I favored them. I really need this. "Di ko lang kasi siya makausap ng tapatan. Nakakatakot kasi sya eh. Thanks!"

Then I finished my last spoon and headed to the classroom. Di nagtagal,dumating na si Chris sa tabi ko. I was looking down not until Chris removed my hair infront of my face to see how I was looking.

"Hey? You alright?" He asked me. I shrugged. I'm really not. "It will be okay,don't worry." Then he pulled me into a hug. He cared about me that much.

After class,Courtney came up to me. If you forgot,she's my seatmate and we became bestfriends. I told her everything about me and Carl. We haven't talked for days because I was out of my mind so maybe that's why she approached me this time.

"Hey,Zia." She waved at me then I waved back. "Okay ka lang?" I shrugged. Kinuwento ko sakanya lahat ng ginawa ni Carl saakin. I almost exaggerrated all of it. That made her go wild to Carl. He said some harsh words and she cursed Carl. Ganun naman nagwo-work ang bestfriends diba? Yung mga ganyan-ganyan.

I don't really know what Carl is up to. This relationship is such a mess. 2months pa lang na kami pero ganto na? Wow naman Carl.

February 14

It's a Saturday so I didn't expected something from Carl.

I didn't expect that he'll show up infront of our house with a life-sized teddy bear that I ever wanted. This time,it's not flowers but chocolates in a bouquet.

He also wrote a novel (well,not literally) on a cartolina. It's all about the two of us. I don't know what to say. How did he managed to bring these?

I grabbed all of it and he entered the house. Without. Saying. Anything. Wow.

I put it down on the couch then he pulled me into a hug. "Sorry,Zia." Then he faced me,his hands on my arms.

"For what?" I asked,although I know what he's talking about. I just want to hear it from him so that he know what wrong he did.

He held my hand and said, "For everything." Then he added, "For being a jerk,for not talking to you,and for leaving you behind. I'm so sorry."

I hugged him. I really want to forgive him despite the hurt that he gave me. "It's okay. Just promise me you'll never make me feel that way again. Promise?"

"Promise ko yan,babygirl." Then he kissed my forehead. "Happy Valentines' Day!"

"Happy Valentines' Day din!" I greeted him,and both of us smiled while hugging each other.

I missed this feeling. The feeling that you're safe around someone's arms. The feeling that you're happily inlove. The feeling that you're with someone. The feeling that you don't feel alone.

He sent me to my bedroom and I suddenly realized there's no such thing that I gave him this day. "Hey. Sorry for not giving you something this day. I was mad at you so I didn't thought of giving a gift or letter. Bawi akl next time,okay?"

"No,that's alright." Then he kissed my cheeks and left our house.

Nagpapakilig pa rin talaga sakin si Carl kahit papaano. Lecheng yan. Wow ha,Carl. Just wow! Thank you.
