SAME COURSE [COMPLETED]

XV. I'M SORRY

I ended up sitting sa passenger seat then sina Gab and Steph naman yung nasa likod. Gab sitting between Steph and Christine kasi alam ko anytime masasampal ni Steph tong si Christine kaya pinagitna ko na si Gab.

Christine is sleeping with her mask on and Gab's leaning naman kay Steph na pareho ring tulog. I want to sleep pero I'm worried na baka makatulog rin si Jinn kapag wala siyang kausap. Mas malaking trouble yon kapag nagkataon.

"Do you want us to stop sa 711 ulit? I'll get you coffee"

"Don't worry. I'm fine, nakatulog naman tayo"

"Ahh! Don't say something na magiging awkward.." tapos tumawa ng malakas si Jinn

"Kidding.."

"Magdrive kana lang dyan"

"Yes madam"

Una naming hinatid sa bahay si Gab. Deretso kami sa bahay ni Christine after then si Steph then us since magkapitbahay naman kami. Kay Jinn muna yung sasakyan ni Gab, baka magkita sila later or bukas.

"We're here"

"Yes. Thanks for driving" I smiled.

"You're welcome" then nakita namin na lumabas ng bahay sina Dianne and Francis. Nagmadali kami pareho bumaba ng sasakyan.

"Hi Dianne" Jinn greeted her

"Hi ka dyan, ang tagal niyong umuwi"

"Sorry na" I said.

"Where are the others?" she looked around

"Eh hinatid na muna namin sa kanilang bahay bahay" I said

"I see, btw. This is Francis" we shake hands "we're going na okay?"

"HA? Agad agad?" I looked at Jinn and he's laughing.

"Anong agad agad? I was darn waiting for you to come home since the day before yesterday"

"Kakaalis ko lang non almost ah?"

"Oh, basta Jinn" Dianne, while getting their baggage "ikaw na muna bahala kay Pao ha, sa graduation pa uwi nina tita. If you need help naman, please call me" then binigyan niya si Jinn ng card. "Number yan ni Francis" she grinned, "Okay? Okay?" she looked at us "bye. See you soon guys"

In a blink of an eye. Ayun, umalis na sila with Francis's Ferrari car.

2 weeks later. Busy na naman with acads and work sa café but this time, hindi lang si Jinn ang napunta sa café. Minsan silang 4 lahat andun at ang iingay.

"So, kayo rin ba ang magkakasama nung vacay niyo?" Krista asked

"Yes. Ang saya lalo na nung last day" Steph said

"Bakit anong meron nung last day?" Krista

"Wala nagswimming lang naman kami" Steph

Tapos nagtawanan sila. Define baliw.

"Umuwi na kayo hello. Magsasara na yung café wag niyo masyadong bigyan ng stress si Krista please" I said.

"Ang KJ talaga nito everytime" Gab said

"I'm just stating reality hello? May exams pa bukas"

"Fine fine. Bukas ulit na lang" Gab laughed.

I just rolled my eyes. I looked at Christine and medyo maputla siya.

"I don't want to ask this but worried rin naman ako, Christine, are you okay?"

Medyo nagulat siya "yes, I'm fine. Thank you sa concern kahit medyo shady"

"Pambihira talaga to. Sampalin kita eh" Si Steph.

"Ayan na nga ba sinasabi ko eh. Sige umuwi na kayo. Labas dali dali!"

Hanggang sa labas nangaasaran pa rin sila.

"You have nice friends Pao" Krista said "Kayo naba ni Jinn?"

"HA?"

"Don't HA me, yes or no lang"

"or?" I laughed "No of course"

"Sa tagal niyong nagsama sama wala man lang ginawang moves si Jinn? Ay Lintik na bata" pinagpag niya yung apron tapos dumeretso na sa kusina.

Hindi na ako nakacomment kasi nakakatawa. I don't know, hindi naman ako kiss and tell and besides, wala naman talagang confirmation between us kung ano bang meron sa aming dalawa. Maybe soon, we'll have the need to talk about that but ngayon, I'll just enjoy kung anong meron sa aming dalawa.

"Paaaaaao!" Steph, panting nung binuksan ang pinto

"Oh?" Napalabas rin si Krista sa kusina "Anong meron?"

"Si Christine. Nahimatay. Tinakbo siya nina Gab and Jinn sa hospital" naiiyak na si Steph

"You should go" Krista said. Boyfriend will be here any minute. Kami na bahala magsara. Puntahan niyo na si Christine"

"Thank you, bawi ako bukas Krista" tumakbo na kami ni Steph papalabas. Hindi ko na natanggal yung apron ng café.

Nasa waiting area sina Gab and Jinn pagdating namin ni Steph sa hospital. Nasa ER si Christine and chinecheck up nung doctor. Pinalabas daw silang dalwa.

Tinanggal ko na yung apron ko shit lang diba "Ano na daw lagay ni Christine? Tingin ko pa lang sa kanya kanina e"

"Hindi pa alam. Nagfirst aid lang nurses since kakarating pa lang ni doc" Jinn said.

"OMG. Hoping na over fatigue lang to grabe naman kasi these past days eh" Steph.

Maya maya lumabas na yung doctor.

"Christine's.."

"Friends. Kami po" Steph

"I see" doctor is smiling "You all should celebrate"

"Huh? Ano pong meron?" Steph asked.

"She's 2 weeks pregnant. Fatigue due to changes sa body niya but she'll be okay. Please take care of her moving forward"

"Ok. Thank you Doc" I replied and umalis na yung doctor.

"Si Christine? Pregnant? Paano? Kelan? Saan? Two weeks?" then nagtinginan kami. Sure kaming around nung outing namin yon and

"I'm sorry" Gab, looking at Steph "I'm sorry"
