Heartbreak Girl

HG6. Truth is...

Chapter Six

Alam mo yung naiinis ka? Eh hindi naman dapat. Yung super affected ka? Eh hindi naman dapat. Yung nagagalit ka? Eh hindi naman dapat. Yung nagseselos ka? Eh hindi naman dapat.

Ugh. Nagdadrama na naman ako. Nakakainis.

Ganito kasi yun, yesterday, pagkatapos ng lunch namin ni Jon, bumalik agad kami sa school. May klase pa kasi kami noon eh.

Then after classes, I texted DJ. I asked if he was okay. Kung asan siya.

He did not even bother to reply.

Nakakainis lang.

Tapos ngayon, maabutan ko dito sa mall si DJ na nakikipaglandian kay Julia.

Sila na talaga yata. Hm. Who cares?

Kaya andito ako sa KFC, mag-isa. Dito ang favorite fast food namin ni DJ. Sila naman, pumunta yata ng Shakey's. Kailan pa nagustuhan ni DJ ang Shakey's? Yellow Cab at Greenwich lang ang kinakain niyang pizza!

Tsaka bakit naka-leather jacket siya? Ayaw na ayaw niyang mag-leather jacket. Kasi ayaw niyang maging parang bad boy.

And now? Naka leather jacket siya. Para talaga siyang bad boy.

And guess what? Nakita niya ako. Pero hindi man lang ako pinansin.

Nakasimangot akong lumalamon ng Chicken Butter.

Nakakainis.

I heard my phone ring, I startled and picked it up.

"Hello?" I stated bitterly.

"Ay? Bad mood?" Tanong nung nasa other line.

Si Miles.

"Oh, Miles? Bakit?" I asked.

"Nasaan ka ba?" She asked, not answering my question.

"KFC. Having my lunch." I answered. "Bakit ba?" I asked again.

"Uhm, I want to talk to you... about something." She awkwardly stated. Ano na naman ba? May problema kaya?

"About what?" I asked.

"Is DJ dating Julia?" She asked straight-forwardly.

"That. Uhm. Hindi ko alam." I answered.

"I saw them yesterday eh. Sa mall."

"I'll ask him." I half-lied.

I will ask him though, but not now. I don't even wanna know.

Miles and I bid goodbye and hang up at the same time.

I sighed. I think sila na.

I knocked on his front door. Andito ako sa bahay nila DJ. Tita Karla texted me, saying they have alittle celebration. Nag top yata sa class si Lelay, DJ's youngest sibling.

You see, DJ's family and I are so close. Ganun din naman siya sa bahay. Mom knew him as well, pero dahil minsan lang umuwi si Mommy, mas close sila ni Dad.

As in super close. To the extent na kapag nag-aargue kami ni DJ, siya ang ililigtas niya. Minsan na nga, nagtataka ako. Sino ba talagang anak ni Dad sa amin ni DJ?

Hahahaha. Joke.

Si Dad kasi, malaki ang tiwala niya kay DJ. Simula nung niligtas kuno ako ni DJ noong mga bata pa kami, may tiwala na siya kay DJ.
