" Oh pinadala ni tita. " Inabot naman ni Cole yung lunchbox sa akin. Talaga bang hindi ako dadalawin ni mama?
" Sabi niya, dadalawin ka daw niya pag natapos na yung arrangements nila sa kasal. Busy sila masyado e. "
Ningitian ko na lang siya kahit sa totoo lang ang sakit. Akala ko kasi.. si mama ang unang taong tatakbo sa hospital at yayakapin ako ng mahigpit... gaya dati.
" Bakit ka ba kasi nagkaganyan Kyuna? "
" Ang clumsy ko kasi e. Di ko nakita yung bato, ang laki laki na nga, nadapa pa ako. "
" Tas, ganyan ang nangyari sayo?! Bakit ang lala?! "
"... "
" Sabihin mo nga... nakipagbugbugan ka ba?! "
" H-hindi ah! Ano ka ba naman ba--"
" Hindi ako tanga para hindi alam na bugbog yan. Halos nasira yung pisngi mo. At mismong doktor na nagsabi na dahil sa strong contact force ang nangyare dyan. "
" *sigh* ba't wala akong takas sayo?! Fine, sasabihin ko yung totoo, but promise me na walang lalabas dito sa room na ito ok! "
" Promise! "
" I'm.. a goon Cole. I'm a gangster. Pero not in a bad way, kasi ako pumoprotekta sa mga schoolmates ko. Pag may nangaway sa kanila, ako ang tagalaban pa ra sa kanila. "
" Hindi mo ba pwedeng iwan yang trabahong yan? Ang delikado masyado, muntikan ka na matanggalan ng mata oh! "
" No. Responsibility ko yan. Ako ang pinili ng mga superior kaya dapat lang na gawin ko ang nararapat."
" *sigh* Ano bang magagawa ko? Mukhang di ka naman papipigil? "
" Thanks you sa pag-iitindi. "
===============================
Ara's POV
" WHAT?! "
" Ano ba Ara, kanina pa ako repeat ng repeat e! Ang sabi ko, Night decided to take a student from Avil as a reward for his winning. "
" Student?! What the hell! What benefits can he or she give to us?! Money?! Impossible. "
Wow! My might Knight has a very low standard. Among all the school that he'd won over, he'll just pick a random student from that cheap school without serving any magnaninous purposes! HE'S SO STUPID!!! Geez~
" Ara, that's the decision made by your hubby, can't you just trust him with this? "
" He's so pathetic! He allowed the other side of him, which is the preposterous side, to rule his soul. "
" *sigh* ewan ko sayo Ara. I have my busines. See ya. " Yeah yeah what a friend!
Night what're you thinking?!
=====================
I received a call from the St. Gabriel's Church. What happened?
" Hello Father Clyde? "
" I have a good news for you Ara. "
" Really?! Care to share, father? " I asked with a bubbly tone.
" MAy nag-chacharity work sa atin. Taga California pa sila. Were so lucky! "
" Indeed, father! God wants you to have a peace of mind. I told you father, stay put and He'll come when he thinks he's really needed. "
And with taht, I hung up. I'm so happy for father Clyde. It's been tough for him to manage all those abandoned children.
I'm not a b*tch ok! Let me clarify, I know I have a very sharp tongue but I can control it. Of course I'm using my God given conscience to identify whats wrong from bad. So clearly stating, I'm a good person! Now, if you find me bad, well your wrong!
If Night's thinking I became worse... then he's awfully wrong!
I was about to wait for my driver when someone stood beside me. Based from his smell, I already know ho he is without looking.
" Waiting for your sundo? " I told him without looking.
" No. Hinahanap kita. "
" Why? You'll let me hear something magnanimous? "
" More than magnananimous... "
" Is there a word which meant like that? "
" May bago tayong student. "
" Oh yeh... like I care. "
" Well, thanks for not caring? "
" And why on earth are you thanking me for that? "
" At least I know... you won't bother her... or should I say.. us. " THAT'S IT! I glared at him! He bowed me straight to my heart! That's why I really smell something fishy about his idea of choosing a girl student.
" Oh! So.. you've already caught a Tilapia by the hook. "
" I didn't force her. I ordered her. "
" And why did you order her to do that? "
" Because she's my... girlfriend."
" ARE YOU TRYING TO BREAK ME INTO PIECES?! "
" No... i'm just filling your big bowl with water. Oh, andyan na yung sundo mo. "
" Night! " I became seroius. Why is he doing this? I already told him million times to return to me, and I'll explain everthing that happened before.
" Why are you doing this? Is it to seek revenge?! then please stop---"
" Do I look like a man who seeks for revenge? I'm not seeking for anything. I'm doing this because I wanted to feel the bliss of love."
" We can still arrange everything, just let me explain! "
" I'm tired! You're always poisoning my well! if you want me to give you my sympathy, then fine, I'lll give it toy you straight! "
" Poisoning your well?! I know I may sound and look desperate at times, but isn't it obvious that I want you back.... that I love you still... I came all the way here just to explain my side. I endure all the nefarious words you utter to me, your obnoxious attitude... I endure all of those so that --"
" Stop it. Hindi kita narinig, naririnig at maririnig..."with tose heartbreaking words he left. I entered my car. I was crying the whole trip. God, please help me to reach him... soften his heart, and make him to lend his ears to me even for a while. I just need to clarify myself...
I didn't break up with him because I wanted to pursue my dreams...
But because...
He's life was at stake.And as loyal girlfriend, although it aches so musch, I need to push him away from this mess. He loves his life. He loves fighting for his life... so I don't want him to die in front of my eyes... If breaking up is the only option... then it's for the best.
So, I'll make sure that he won't cheat on me with that girl. I've been going through the narrowest hole of a needle, there's no way I'll turn back...
I'll make him love me.... Again..
========================
After 3 days...
