The Best Of Me

Chapter Twelve: Worry

Hindi ko nalang tinanong si Aunt Lucinda about kay Alina. But I have a bad feeling about it. I trust Jayson. Mahal ko siya. Alam kung hindi niya ako lolokohin. I hope..

"I'm going out. Bibilhan kita ng gamot.." sabi ko habang kinukuha yung bag ko.

"No. Stay. Call John.. siya nalang ang bibili..." he said.

His still laying on the bed. Weak. Nialalagnat siya. Hindi na muna ako pumasok. Bahala na si Lana na magexcuse sakin. I would rather stay here with him. And look after him. Buti nalang at may kaibigan akung nurse, tinuturo niya sakin ang mga dapat kung gawin.

"Okay. I'll just call him.." sabi ko.

After kung tawagan si John. Bumalik ako sa tabi ni Jayson. His eyes are close. I caress his forehead. Suddenly, someone knocks at the door. Hm? Si Lana ba yun? Hindi naman niya sinabi na pupunta siya dito. So,  quickly ran down to open the door.

Pagkabukas ng pinto. May babae na nakatalikod. She's wearing a grey hanging shirt and a fitted leather jeans. And a brownish straight hair. Who the heck is she?

"Yes? Can I help you?" I asked.

She turn around.

"Are you, Shotia Hale?" She said.

I think I know her. Familiar ang mukha niya. Is she the model na nilandi nun ni  Jayson? Fck! Alina Reyes is her name. Siya nga! Bigla ko nalang naalala. Siya ba yung Alina na tumawag kay Jayson?

"Yes ako nga.."

"I'm Alina Reyes, is Jayson here? I believe dito siya nakatira.." she said.

"Uh? Ye.. yes.. andito siya. Bakit?"

"I need to talk to him, personally.."

"Sorry, pero may sakit siya he can't.."

"MAY SAKIT SIYA! Oh my gad!"

She pushed me at dali-dali siyang pumasok at dumiretso sa kwarto. Wow ah! Did I even welcomed her to come in? Bakit biglang bumagsak ang hininga ko? I know Jayson dated her, pero ang alam ko nilaro lang ni Jayson si Alina. I know Jayson. He don't take a very serious relationship before he just fck girls amd that's it. His player and a gamer. I know him.

I just watched Alina went up the stairs. I can't feel my legs. I can't think of something positive. What if may past silang dalawa? What if Alina wants something from Jayson? What if.. Yan lang ang bumubulong sa isip ko. I can't cry right now! Wala pa namang proweba na may something sakanila.

I took a grip from my fist and slowly went upstairs. Nakabukas yung pinto so you can hear Alina and Jayson talking. I lean at the wall and start to listen.

"Jayson, I came here for a reason.."

"What the fck do you  want, Alina!? We're done! Matagal na tayong tapos! You can't blame me on leaving you! Because, una palang walang tayo!"

"Fck Jayson! Can you at least listen to me!?"

"What do you want!? And where's my girlfriend? Pinaalis mo ba siya?"

"No! She's downstairs doing something.."

"Tsk! Call her! I don't want you here Alina! Don't you ever come here!"

"Fck you, Jayson! Kung ayaw mong makinig sakin. Fine! At least alam na nag parents mo!"
