Chapter 20









"So I'm your boyfriend now huh?"

"Fvck you!" Sabi ni Dafnhie sabay hagis ng pencil kay Lowiee, na  ngayon ay nakahiga sa kanyang kama habang siya naman ay nasa kanyang study table.

"So when did you become my girlfriend?" hindi pa rin naaalis ang ngiti sa labi nito.

"Shut the fvck up, Lowiee, I'm serious."

Hindi na nag salita pa ang lalaki tungkol sa topic na iyon. Ayaw na din nyang batiin na tinawag sya nitong Lowiee instead of Justine.

"So, what are you doing?" pag iiba nya sa usapan.

"Nothing... "

Matapos iyon ay nanaig ang katahimikan, si Dafnhie ay busy sa kanyang ginagawa habang si Lowiee naman ay busy sa cellphone nito.

"Lowiee, can I ask you a question?" nagulat sya ng naging seryoso ang boses ng dalaga at itinigil nito ang ginagawa nito.

"You're already asking."

"Never mind."

"No. No no. I was just kidding. Go ahead." bawi niya, minsan nya lang marinig ang seryosong tono mula sa dalaga, kadalasan ay puro pagtataray ito.

He even sat properly on the bed to give his full attention to her.

"Have you been in a proper relationship before? "Lowiee was taken aback for a second.

"Why do you ask?"

"Just curious."

"Yes," he quietly answered, not making eye contact.

"And you're no longer with her?"

"You could say that."

"I see... Should we just get married, then?"

"What? Are you drunk or something?" Lowiee asked incredulously. He's not sure what Dafnhie is thinking right now or if he's even talking to real Dafnhie right now. He never imagined that Dafnhie would ask such a question, not even as a joke.

"To be honest, I don't know what I am saying either... Sometimes, I just want to run away and leave everything behind... Y'know?" Dafnhie seriously said while looking on the floor, not making eye contact, "I'm far from being a perfect daughter. I know that... I can only express my feelings by getting mad, even if I don't want to... I'm usually angry, but that's not what I wanted to convey. It's hard for me to show what I truly feel, and I don't know exactly what I want to do with my life... It feels like I don't have a dream..."  "I only have my dad... My mind kept on saying that I should hate him, but my heart hurts every time I do something bad to him. I always purposely hurt his feelings. I honestly don't want to do that. But I don't know what to do... I'm thinking that if I just do what he wants, if he thinks that I'll be better if I'm with your family, should I just do that then? So he can just fully enjoy his life without worrying about me?"

Nagulat si Lowiee ng biglang tumingin sa kanya si Dafnhie at kitang kita nya ang pigil na luha mula sa mga mata nito.

"Don't worry, it would be a marriage of convenience. I don't care what you'll do in life, and in case you truly fall for someone, I don't mind if you divorce me." napansin ni Lowiee na may tumulo ng luha mula sa mga mata nito.
