Chapter Sixteen - Dale

Dale's POV

Nagalit si dwayne pagkatapos nung 'don sa bahay nila

Mahirap magpretend every time na sasabihin ko sa kanya yung message ni jackey na hindi ko alam. I'm a great actor. That's what I am thinking everytime I am convincing dwayne that I didn't say anything. Letting him believe that he's getting paranoid, himself.

The first time that I did it was the day that jack was leaving.
I am very guilty because I didn't let him know that it was the day she was leaving the country, until kelly ask her friend and deliver that news to dwayne. I felt more guilty when he tried to reach her out to airport but he never did, but then a promise is a promise. I can't just broke a promise like that.

Second, was on his Birthday. Even though I can't see it, I still can feel that she badly wanted to see dwayne. I doesn't know the real shot between her and elson but she really love dwayne. I know. She was in her sorrow

Everyday he was asking me about the first message that I gave him, her message. What about it or what is that? I can't just tell him.

The third one was when we're going to hang out at dwayne's place. That made him so much angry but I still act as if I didn't know anything, as if I didn't say anything. I remain my silence towards everything

The last one was on the mall.
That time he was really raging at me, again.
I didn't have a choice but to tell him about our agreement and her location. Just that. All that I know.

I also hate to tell everything to jack. Mostly, when that Jackie Santos appeared. She cried a lot and her parents scolded me because of that. They told me she shouldn't be crying and she shouldn't be stress but what do i know? What can I do? It seems like the two of them are getting closer each and every day. I think, she still has the right to know because they still love each other. She deserve to know.

We all became friends but kelly doesn't like jackie. She actually hated her. Probably yes, it's obvious, Too obvious.

Jack and I were having video calls all the time. Just to tell her dwayne's status.

Buti na lang at pinipilit ni kelly na magka ayos kami ni dwayne. Nung sa mall. Na explain ko na rin naman kay dwayne. Nakakaawa nga siya tignan nun. He just walked out.

Binalikan ko nun si kelly sa loob ng mall. Nagusap lang kami saglit at sinabi sa kanya na umuwi na si dwayne kaya umuwi na din kami.

Hindi pa rin tumatawag si jackey. It's weird kasi lagi siyang tumatawag o nagc-chat araw araw. Pero ilang araw araw ng wala.

Tsk. Iinom lang muna ako.
Iniwan ko yung phone ko sa taas kasi nagc-charge ako.

Pagbaba ko uminom ako ng tubig bago lumakad ulit paakyat

Aakyat na sana ako kaso nanunood yung kapatid ko. NBA. Yung replay ng Game 7

"Kuya, napanood mo na 'to?"

"Oo. Apat lamang. Lupit ni lebron dyan a. MVP pa sya. First championship man nila yan after 5 decades bayun o 4? Last year Golden states, first win din"

"Oh? Diko napanood 'to e. Sana kinwento mo na lang at hindi ko na pinanood"

"Sana nga" tumawa siya. Sira talaga.

"Si Varejao daw yung sumpa dyan. Mga baliw nga"

"Oo nga siguro nung sa cavs siya. Talo rin e. Sige akyat na nga ako" dami alam e.

"Sige kuya"

Nung pagakyat ko. Tinignan ko yung cellphone ko.

May missed calls. Nakanaman. Nung nandito ako hindi tumatawag.

Nagring yung phone ko kaya agad kong tinignan yung caller.

Jackey Calling...

"Hello, Jack" bati ko.

("Hello, tol si elson pala 'to") sabi nung nasa kabilang linya.

Teka si Elson?
