Pagbalik ko sa may lobby. Nakita ko si Simon sa may gilid, nakasalampak sa tiles na sahig at hawak ang cell phone. Parang may kausap. I look around to find Isaiah but I didn't see a glimpse of his shadow. Napalingon si Simon sakin at biglang binaba ang phone.
"Saia, san ka ba galing?" tanong nya sabay tayo at kinuha nya ang braso ko
"Dyan lang..."
"Hilung-hilo na si Isaiah pag hahanap sayo alam mo ba yun?"
"Ha?" pagtataka ko. Is he looking for me? Nakakaguilty yung ginawa kong kaartehan.
"Asan na sya?" I asked him at naupo
"Ewan ko, and hindi ko sya makokontak dahil yan yung bag nya oh" at naituro nya yung black na messenger bag sa may lapit ng blue bagpack.
"Yung bag nya talaga yung tatawagan mo?"
"Malamang hindi, naiwan nya yung cp nya kakamadali. Alalang alala sya sayo Saia. Umayos ka nga"
Natauhan ako sa sinabi ni Simon nung mga oras na yun. Hala, ano po bang ginawa kong eksena? As in ano po ba? Asan na kaya si Isaiah?
"Sorry" mahina kong sabi
"Wala yun, ano ba kasing nangyayari sayo ha? You're acting weird these past few days. What's gotten into you?"
"Ha?"
"Anong ha? You can tell us your problem Saia. Ano pa't naging bodyguards mo kami ni Isaiah. Friends." and now, I'm talking to a different Simon
And instead of explaining to him right away. I just bend my knees and put my forehead on it.
Maya maya may kumakaripas ng takbo papunta sa may lobby siguro. Naririnig ko lang naman ang yabag ng mabilis na pag takbo and I didn't know exactly kung sino ba yun.
"Thank goodness you're here" sabi ng mala anghel na boses
Pagtunhay ko
"I......saiah?" tangi kong nasambit. And lalo akong naguilty. Pawisan sya, kita sa gray tshirt nya, pati mukha pawis at pati yung buhok. In short super hargardo versoza (HAGGARD). Pero gwapo parin bat ganun?
Iiyak na ata ako when I saw him like that, because I know that it was because of me AGAIN.
"Oh bat ka iiyak?" tanong nya
"Sorry...."
"It's ok Saia, atleast your here na. Where have you been? Bigla ka nalang umalis kanina?"
"..............." yan ang tangi kong naging sagot. Sagot talaga?
"It's ok. Oh kumain ka na ba?" he asked in concern. Grabe Isaiah, pano ko ba matatanggap na hindi ako yung babae na gusto mo? Kung maka concern ka kasi sakin eh kala mo girlfriend mo ako na tangi kong pinapangarap. But if this acts will continue, how can I move on? How can I endure the pain of watching him and supporting him on every move that he will take on the one he likes? Kung ngayon pa lang, ganto na?
I just shook my head at yumuko. I can't do this. For now, I need time to adjust.
"You ok? You want to go home? I'll take care of your clearance"
"No, I'm ok thank you"
"Baka gutom lang yan. Kanina pa ganyan eh" komento ni Simon
"Are you hungry? Gusto mo kain na tayo?"
"Sorry" mahina kong sabi. Sobrang nagiguilty ako. What are you thinking Saia? Sarili mo nanaman ang iniisip mo! Ganyan ka ba talaga kababaw ha???
"Oh tama na, wala kang kasalanan. Kung ano man yang problema mo, you can tell us if you're ready na ha? We will not forcing you to say anything na mas makakasakit pa sayo ok? So tama na, cheer up pretty girl" sabay hawak nya ng baba ko tapos sinabayan pa nya ng ngiti
