The Pile | Vicerylle One Shot Stories

XII. Shape of You (3)

GENERAL

"I-I love you..." he said.

"That's bullshit!"

That was all Karylle can say. Pagkatapos ay pinagsusuntok ang dibdib ni Vice, na tinanggap naman ng huli. He let his guard down, literally.

"Hit me. Kahit ilang beses mong gawin yan, I will never get tired of catching your punches, and your fists." paatras ng paatras ang binata dah sa paulit-ulit na suntok na binibigay ni Karylle, now they're making a scene on the park.

"Yes! You'll get tired after a few punch, bitch!" Karylle was crying, hitting Vice repeatedly on his chest.

"No. I will never get tired." maybe because of anger and regrets kaya hindi magawang magpatalo ni Vice a dalaga, in which dati ay palagi siyang nagpapatalo dito, when it comes to arguments.

"Yes you will!"

"No I will not. Because, I'm not like the guys who left you." sagot ni Vice na hindi parin tinitigilan ni Karylle.

"I hate you! How could you do this to me?!"

"Minahal lang kita." sagot ni Vice hanggang sa may umawat na sa kanila.

"Sorry kung pinakekealaman ko kayo, pero pwede niyo namang pag-usapan yan sa bahay ni---"

"Yes. We're leaving, pasensya na sa inyo." and Vice carried Karylle on his shoulder as if the lady was just sack of sand. Still Karylle didn't stop hitting Vice, now she's repeatedly hitting Vice's back while crying.

Awkward silence. Iyan ang namayani sa loob ng kotse ni Vice. The man was driving, while Karylle is looking outside from the window glass of the car. Though Vice is stealing short glances kay Karylle. All through out their drive, but nobody was talking.

After some few minutes, nasa tapat na sila ngayon ng condo building ni Karylle. The lady let out a heavy sigh before opening the door, habang si Vice ay halatang nagpipigil at nakapikit pa. When he heard Karylle's heels stepped the ground, he opened his eyes at tiningnan ang dalaga.

"Tell me nothing will change after hearing my stupid words." hawak na ni Vice ang wrist ng dalaga, kaya naman napatitig na rin ang huli sa kaniya.

"I never promised you heaven, Vice." makahulugang sagot ni Karylle at hinawi na ang kamay ng binata.

"C'mon Karylle!" si Vice at bumaba na rin ng kotse.

"What!? Diba may usapan na tayo Vice? Na hanggang doon lang yun! Ano ba Vice!" sagot ni Karylle at hinarap si Vice.

"Hindi ka naman kasi mahirap mahalin eh!" pasigaw na sagot ni Vice na nagpatigil kay Karylle.

"Can you hear yourself, Vice?"

"Oo! Dinig na dinig ko yung sarili kahit minsan nabibingi na ako sa kabog ng puso ko sa tuwing kasama kita!" si Vice na nagpakunot lalo ng noo ni Karylle.

"Damn it Vice!"

"I love it Karylle. I love this feeling I have."

"You should find somebody else. Hindi na 'to tama Vice. We just started sa One Night Stand, maybe dahil lang yan sa sexual relationship natin, kaya ka nagkakaganyan. Take time to think about it."

"Siguro nga. Baka dahil sa l*b*g lang 'to. Pero ano? Kung mapatunayan ko na mahal kita? What will you do?" paghamon ni Vice sa dalaga.

"Let go of me then." matapang na sagot ni Karylle at iniwan na si Vice.

She never knew she cried, doon niya lang narealize na may luha na siya when she turned around.

"Don't make me confuse. Please. Sana tama ang decision ko."
