Chapter 41

"Alys, alam ko minsan baliw ka but this?!"

Kanina pa ako sinesermunan ni Aya. Three days na din simula ng tumira kami ni Fier sa iisang bahay. The idea was crazy... but I was way more crazy. Never once in my life did I consider doing something like this. This idea was sorcery. It was unimaginable yet somehow I still did it.

I sat down and tried to calm myself. Fier wasn't trying to help either, she was being bitchy and all to me...

"Tama na, okay?" I said to her. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. Hindi na rin ako makatulog sa gabi. Nights were stressful the most. Kailangan ko na yatang pumunta sa OB. Normal ba yung inaarte ni Fier? She was acting like a lunatic... Alam ko naman na buntis siya but how she's acting was just too much. She's pregnant and not a psycho.

Aya sat down and placed her hands on her chin.

"Okay, mag usap tayo ng matino, ha?" she said and I nodded. "Alys, why the hell?! Oo kasal kayo ni Drake pero paano mo nagagawang pumayag tumira sa iisang bahay kasama ang—forgive my term— kabit?!"

I sighed. Ayoko talagang naririnig na kabit si Fier... Nasasaktan ako para sa kanya, para sa akin. She's just a victim like anyone else. Kahit kasi anong pilit ko sa sarili kong magalit sa kanya, naaalala ko pa rin yung fact na buntis siya sa anak ni Drake. Ang that fact alone was enough to pacify my heart.

Masakit masabihan ng kabit. It wasn't her fault that Drake's not going to marry her. It wasn't Drake's fault, as well. It was no one's fault. Siguro biktima lang kami ng tadhana. Our timing was screwed up.

"'Wag ka namang magalit kay Drake, Aya. He offered na dun na lang kami sa unit niya but I declined," I answered truthfully.

She knocked the glass down sa pagkabigla. "'Yun naman pala e! Goodness gracious, Alys Zyril! Bakit ba pinagsisiksikan mo yung sarili mo sa bahay na yun e may choice ka naman pala?!"

Hindi ako makapagsalita kasi guilty ako. Bakit nga ba ako sumisiksik? Hindi ko alam... Siguro dahil ayoko din mahirapan si Drake. Ayokong dumating sa point na papipiliin ko siya. I love him enough to spare him from that pain. Alam ko na ilang beses ko ng nasaktan si Drake. Even though he never talked about it, alam ko na sobra ko siyang nasaktan. The years apart broke him. Ayoko ng maulit yun. Tama na yung four years na naghirap kami.

Kahit ano pa ang sabihin nila, anak ni Drake 'yun. Mahal ko yung bata dahil anak siya ni Drake.

"Please, 'wag na nating pag usapan, okay? Nagpunta ako dito para magrelax, 'di para pagalitan mo," I said to her.

Walang nagawa si Aya kung hindi ang magbuntong hininga. Kumain lang kami sandali tapos kailangan niya na ding bumalik sa shop. Hindi pa rin sila okay ni Kent. Hindi ko maintindihan si Aya, obvious naman na mahal niya pa pero ayaw niya patawarin. Kung magulo kami, mas magulo sila.

Bumili muna ako ng prutas para kay Fier. Minsan iniisip ko kung bakit ako ganito. Siguro kung ibang babae ako, nagwala na ako at pinagsasampal ko si Drake.

Pagdating ko sa bahay, wala pa si Drake. Siguro nasa trabaho pa siya? Kami lang ni Fier ang tao dito. Si Tito Steve nasa trabaho din, si Ethos naman nag aaral pa.

"Kumain ka na?" I asked her.

She nodded and returned her attention to the glossy mag she was reading.

Naupo ako sa tabi niya. "May dala akong fruits..."

Dahan dahan niyang ibinaba yung magazine at tumingin sa akin. She gave out a heavy sigh. "What game are we playing, Alys?"
