Marrying Mr. Nerd

Chapter 6

“BESY, pwede ba tayong magkita?” ani Bella sa kabilang linya.

“Yes ofcourse besy, saan?”

Lea entered the crowded bar in her whole entire life. She couldn’t believe that Bella would choose the cheapest bar for their meeting. She smelled the mixing sent of an alcohol and cigarette. She stop in the middle of the bar and searched Bella, she was looking for her nowhere until the very longest second in her life of searching for her, she finally found her. Letting herself drown to the alcohol that she was drinker.

“Besy? What are you doing?” nakakunot ang kanyang noo sabay hablot sa isang baso na hawak-hawak nito na may lamang alcohol, and behalf to Bella she drink it. “Oh! Very good besy, you’re drowning yourself to a soda? Are you out of your mind? Akala ko naman, naglalasing kana! And, seriously dinala mo pa talaga ako dito sa cheap na bar. Hindi ko alam na nag-iba na pala ang taste mo.” she added murmuring her friend.

Hindi parin siya nito nililingon at kanina pa ito nakayuko while her eyes was glued to the counter. “Besy? Are you alright?” she caressed her face to face her. She was being shock of what she have witnessed. Bella’s eyes were red, her nose were also red as tomatoes and there are tears falling from her eyes. She sat down beside her and comforted her. “My God besy, what happened?”

“Besy, I’m such an idiot.” sagot nito habang pinipigilan ang sariling umiyak.

“Why besy?”

“I’m such an idiot best. Hindi ko alam kung guilty o parusa tong nararamdaman ko ngayon.” she said while caressing her hair.

Kinuha niya ang kanyang kamay na nakahawak sa mukha nito at inilipat sa balikat nito. “Bakit besy, ano ba ang nangyari. Ba-bakit mo yan sinasabi ngayon?” pag-aalala niya sa kaibigan. “Come on besy, tell me.” she whispered while looking straight into her eyes.

“Nakaka-guilty na kasi besy, eh! ang babait-bait niya sa akin, samantalang ako, heto! Wala ng ibang ginawa kung hindi laitin siya, pagsalitaan siya ng masama, and the worst I let him suffer the pain that cause him for more than two years. Hindi ba ang sama kong tao. Ang laki na ng kasalanan ko sa diyos, ang dami kung ginawa sa kanyang masama pero siya, wala siyang ibang ginawa kung hindi intindihin ako, unawain ako, sundin ako, at maging mabait sa akin. Sa tingin mo ba besy, kaya kung sukli-an ang lahat ng mga kabutihang ginawa niya sa akin, para bayaran ang kabutihang iyon?”

Lea sighed. “Besy, look. Hindi kita maintindihan eh! Hindi kita maintindihan kung bakit you’re acting weird. Ano ba talaga ang ginawa niya sayo para ma-guilty ka ng ganyan hah? Tell, I’ll listen.” 

Napabuntong hininga si Bella, at sinimulang ikwento kay Lea ang lahat ng mga nangyari sa kanilang dalawa ni Matt kanina. Tama ang ginagawa niya ngayon. She really needs her bestfriend’s advice to cure all the guilt that she was experiencing right now. Hindi niya kayang gumawa ng kilos mag-isa para tulungan ang sariling ma-solve ang problema nilang mag-asawa. Ang kailangan niya ngayon, ay isang kaibigan na handang tulongan at dumayan siya sa unos na kanyang nararanasan ngayon.

After telling Lea the whole story, she felt a relief and all the sadness that she was experiencing was being vanished.

“Bakit hindi mo subukang mahalin siya besy, wala namang mawawala sayo kung hahayaan mong mahulog ang sarili mo para sa kanya. Hindi ba?” she sighed. “Besy, nakikita ko na mabait na tao si Matt.” She pout. “He don’t have the look nga, but he have the heart. Alam kong hindi ka mahihirapang mahalin siya besy, dahil mabait siya. At ang pag-ibig hindi tinitinginan ang kagandahan sa panlabas na anyo, kung hindi ang kagandahan na nasa loob nito hindi ba? So why don’t you try to love your husband in return, that’s the easiest way para hindi kana mahirapan. Just give it a try besy, and I know that you won’t regret it.” she raised her hands in the air with an open palm. “Promise.” she smiled at her exposing her complete set of white teeth.
