Chapter 6- His Story
Sky's POV
Nagmamadali akong naglakad habang papunta sa canteen. Pinauna ko na si Cloud doon dahil pinatawag pa siya ng presidente ng club niya.
Pag-uusapan kasi nila ang gagawin para sa nalalapit na Foundation Day ng WU.
Binilisan ko ang paglalakad dahil gusto ko ng makita si Cloud. YAY!!!
Pagpasok ko sa canteen ay nakita ko na agad si Cloud, at agad ko siyang nilapitan.
"Ibinili na kita ng pagkain."-Cloud
I smiled at him. "Thank You."
nag-uumpisa na kaming kumain ng tahimik at panaka-naka ay sinusulyapan ko siya :D
HEHEHEHEH....
Hindi naman niya ako mahuhuling tinitingnan siya kung hindi rin niya ako tinitingnan. Diba??
BWAHAHAHAHAH...
Cloud's POV
"Ayoko pang umuwi. Daan muna tayo sa park?
I looked at Sky' pleading expression. I knew I couldnt say "no".
Yes. I like her. Hindi ko lang alam kung mahal ko na nga ba siya.
If I was only capable of loving someone, pipiliin kong siya nalang ang mamahalin ako.
Yeah. This wasnt like me but I felt alive whenever I'm near her.
"Okay." I said
Sa isang parke na di-kalayuan sa WU ko siya dinala. Pagkahinto ng sasakyan ay inalalayan ko siyang bumaba at inakay papunta sa fountain na nasa gitna ng park.
Tahimik lang kaming umupo sa bench doon.
I still never let go off her hand.
Just holding her hand makes me feel that everything's going to be alright.
Pero alam ko namang malabo siyang magkakagusto siya sa akin :(
I was snobbish, serious, and brooding. Idagdag pa ang issue sa buhay ko. Kapag nalaman niya ang lihim ko, mas lalong di niya ako magugustuhan.
*sigh*
"Can I ask you a question Cloud?"
I nodded.
"Bakit kayo magkaaway ni Lee?"
I paused for a while...
"Sorry! Kung ayaw mong sagutin, ayos lang! Pasensya na kung sobrang nosy ko."
"Iniisip ko lang kung paano ko ipapaliwanag."
"Ayos lang kahit huwag na."
"No. Dapat lang malaman mo since tinutulungan mo naman ako." I sighed.
"My mom left me and my dad for this guy. I hate her because of that. I hate her for hurting and leaving my dad."
"At napasok si Lee dahil...?"
"Ang ama ni Lee ang sinamahan ng nanay ko."
HATRED

PAIN

Kahit gaano pa katagal ang lumipas mula nang sumama sa ibang lalaki ang babaeng iyon, hindi pa rin nawawala ang galit ko sa kanya. ><,
I heard Sky sigh..
Maybe this is the right time to let this out.
Even my friends do not know anything about this.
"My dad died because of depression. Kinupkop ako ng kapatid ng daddy ko hanggang sa magpasya akong tumuloy sa isang condo. I inherited my father's wealth kaya nabubuhay akong marangya. My uncle is the one who's managing the company since I'm still studying. I became like this because this was the only way for me to be strong. Kung hindi ko titigasan ang sarili ko at ang puso ko walang mangyayari sa buhay ko. Yes, I became bitter because o my life. But at the same time, naging malakas ako."
Wala na akong narinig na tugon mula kay Sky.
I looked at her.
I saw different emotions registered in her eyes.
-Sympathy, pain, understanding, and...
LOVE?
"Can I say something"- Sky
Tumango nalang ako.
"I think wala namang kasalanan si Lee sayo, Cloud. Weell I'm not saying this because he WAS my ex. Observation lang. It's not his fault that your mother chose his father. he didnt choose that, did he?"
Napahagod nalang ako sa buhok ko. I closed my eyes.
All I can feel right now is PAIN.
Pain as I remembered Her, my dad, and the family I wished I had...
"Cloud...."
"I know. Alam kong wala siyang kasalanan. Damn it! I know whose fault is this. But I cant stop myself from hating him!."
"You hate him because he's with your mother and that you're alone?"
I nodded.
Sky's right. Hindi ako galit kay Lee sa ginawa ng tatay niya.
I just envy him. I envy him dahil kasama niya ang babaeng dapat ako ang kasama.
I shouldn be alone because I have a mother. But that woman chose to be with them than me ><,
DAMN IT!
But no matter how hard I tried to be numb, I could still feel the pain of that woman's betrayal, the pain of dad's death, and the pain of knowing that I am alone.
Because of that woman, I found it hard to trust females.
Naramdaman ko nalang na niyakap ako ni Sky.
"You're not alone Cloud. Me and The Dark Kick are here for you."
I thank God for letting me know this girl, this wonderful girl who made me trust again.
