She's not a Dude

Chapter 12

A/N: 3 years na rin pala itong SND since nabuo sa aking mga braincells si Bryne 😂 wala lang haha. Since Birthday ko today, another UD para sa mga magiliw kong readers. Hello sainyo! Napakatatag niyo hahaha

--

3 days after the incident. Nasa hospital parin si Bryne dahil need niyang ma-admit for one week. Nagkaron siya ng 4 stitches sa likod bandang right side ng ulo niya. Good thing at di naman malala yung nangyari.

"I brought varieties of fruit. Di ko kasi alam kung anong gusto mo, so here.." he gave me a nervous smile while waiting for my response. Still amused sa biglang pagbabago ng pakikitungo niya sakin.

"Saan ang variety dyan? Eh tatlong lase lang naman ng prutas?" I asked him with bewilderment pero inabot pa rin ng kamay ko yung saging at sinimulang balatin at kainin.
Nawala naman yung ngiti niya and he clears his throat.

"e-hem, tatlong klase means variety na yun." Depensa naman nito pero nangiti ulit na parang ewan. Kumunot naman noo ko dahil.. pramis guys, ang weird niya.

Nawala ulit yung ngiti niya sabay naging blank yung expression, typical beanie guy thing

"Anyway, kamusta na ba pakiramdam mo? Kumikirot pa ba yung tahi tulad nung sinabi mo kahapon?" tuloy tuloy na tanong niya sabay upo sa tabi ng bed ko.

Sumingkit yung mata ko dahil sa tanong niya.

"Why? Masama ba magtanong? Im just concern." Expressionless niyang sabi

"Mas okay na ko ngayon pre." I said while eating.

"Uhhm.. Sorry." His head went down after talking.

"Again, Im okay. It is not even your fault dude. Chill!"

3 consecutive days na siyang nagsosorry sakin and medyo nakakasawa na. Kung tutuusin wala naman siyang kasalanan eh. Pero I cant stop myself from feeling sorry towards him, sabi kasi sakin ni Pierre nung dumalaw siya eh umiyak pala tong mokong na to nung nangyari yung insidente.. medyo blurr kasi sa memory ko yung nangyari basta ang alam ko lang eh may lalaki na humawak sakin nung bumagsak ako tas ang panget ng iyak niya kaya natawa ko hahaha siya pala yon.

"Jessica.. anak siya ng bestfriend ng mommy ko. She's always in our house nung maliliit pa kami. Noon pa di ko na talaga gusto yung ugali niya because she has this attitude na kapag may gusto sya eh dapat mabigay. I remember nung na-obsessed siya sa puppy ko nung grade 3 kami, and I don't have a choice but to give it to her. Sabi ni mommy intindihin ko nalang cause she has a heart problem, mahina ang puso niya kaya hindi siya pedeng galitin or what, since then I just go with the flow with everything she wants.. nung nag highschool, pumunta sila ng US, I thought im already free from her pero bumalik siya.. pinakiusapan ako ni mommy na bantayan siya.. but.." kwento ni Russ.

"hey beanie guy." I interrupt him, I know its hard for him to say those things. First time kong makita ng ganito kaseryoso si Russ. Im starting to feel like im already part of his friends.

"why not tell her what is right from wrong instead of tolerating her? Pero hindi mo naman dapat siya basta bastang bibitawan just because you don't like her. She's your responsibility kasi sayo siya pinagkatiwala ng mommy niya at ng mommy mo. Help her instead of ignoring. Nothing will change kung parati mo lang titignan yung mga maling ginagawa niya." I told him and shrugged my shoulder.

"That's nice of you." He said with blank expression and then looked at me straight in the eyes.

"Sarcasm ba yun pre? He-he. Ikaw na nga lang tinutu-"

"I am starting to see good things in you.. and im starting to like you even more." - again with blank expression.

"What---"
