TBP: CHAPTER   14

*Happiness and Sadness *

Kisha Aebrille’s Pov (Shin Se Kyung)

“Oh sino yan?” I asked, nakita ko kasi na nagulat si King nang mabasa niya yung text yata sa phone niya. “A-ah wala, baka wrong send lang.” He denied. Kitang-kita ko na nagsisinungaling siya, halata kasi kay King kapag nagsisinungaling siya. Namumula yung tenga niya. Whahaha!

“Tss, okay.” Sagot ko nalang pakielam ko naman kung sino yun? Like duh. Tumayo na ako at nag-ayos ng aking sarili. Since aalis daw kami at nasa resort naman kami, I wear my red two piece. Huh! Goodluck Xavier.

Paglabas ko ng kwarto nakita ko na Nakabukas ng kaunti yung kwarto ni Xavier. I don’t know but something gave me this urge para tignan yung kwarto niya. Sumilip muna ako at nakita ko na walang tao.

I scan his room. Ang linis. Nakita ko yung mga frame, isang babae lang yung nasa frame at bata pa si King dito. Yung mama niya kaya ito?

Narinig ko ang mga yabag, malamang si King na yan, mabilis akong lumabas ng kwarto niya. Paglabas ko mabilis akong Dumeretso sa may balkonahe. I inhaled then exhaled. Ang ganda talaga ng dagat.

“K-kisha?” He was stuttering at nang humarap ako sakanya I saw his eyes were as if bulged out of their socket pero mas nabigla yata ako sa hitsura niya.

He was wearing a black shirt and a sky-blue beach short. Ang ang…

Hot niya >/////<

“W-what are you wearing!? Magpalit ka  nga!” He yelled. Aba’t!? Sino ba siya sa akala niya ha!? “Hoy Jerk! Sino ka ba sa akala mo ha? Ito gusto kong suot bakit ba!” He looked at me sternly. “Tss, bahala ka nga!” At hayun lumayas siya sa harapan ko.

Aba’t! Anong nangyari sa uguk na yon!? Omg lang =.=

After some minutes ay lumabas na rin ako, paglabas ko I saw King standing on the front house ,may hawak siyang camera at kinukuhanan niya ang asul na dagat. Napangiti ako, ang astig niyang tignan.

Bigla siyang humarap at ngumiti sa akin. I smiled to him as well. “Sorry kanina ha. Kasi naman madaming tao doon sa pupuntahan natin, Sigurado ka ba na iyan ang isusuot mo?” He asked worriedly.

Napangiti ako. Kahit pala Jerk lang ang isang ito, he still make sure that I am safe.

“Oo naman, ako pa.” I said proudly and winked. He just shook his head with disbelief. “Tara na nga.” He said at sabay na kaming lumakad. Tama nga yung mga bata, dumami na kasi yung mga tao sa resort.

“King saan ba kasi talaga tayo pupunta?” I asked. Sobrang nacucurious na kasi ako, wala naman siyang sinabi kung saan kami pupunta. “Basta para sa project to no.” he said at Patuloy ang pagkuha niya ng letrato sa makikita niya.

“Look at them.” Itinuro ni King yung dalawang mag-asawa na may edad na rin. “Kahit medyo matanda na sila, they still value each other at hindi pa rin sila nagsasawa na ipakita ang pagmamahal nila para sa isa’t-isa.” King said and smiled.

Lumapit pa siya sa mga ito at humingi ng permiso kung maaari niya silang kuhanan ng letrato, Malugod namang pumayag ang mag-asawa at ayun halos mapunit na ang bibig ni King sa sobrang saya.

Nagpatuloy kami sa paglibot sa resort, nakita rin namin yung mga trabahador na masaya at nakangiting nagtatrabaho, nagtataka ako kasi bakit lahat sila masaya?

Nakita rin namin yung mga bata kagabi na masayang-masaya sa pagtulong sa resort. I see their genuine smiles on their face, wari’y wala silang iniindang sakit.

Sana palagi na lang ganito. “King, bakit ang saya-saya nila?” I tried to asked. He just smiled, “I hope now you get it.” King said cryptically at binigyan ako ng ngiti. I just wear my confused expression.

May nakita akong yacht. “Ano yan?” I asked. “Yacht yan db?” He retorted sarcastically and I rolled my eyes. Binigyan niya lang ako ng nakakalokong ngiti. Inalalayan niya akong sumakay.

Maraming place yung pinuntahan namin. We went to explore the Subterranean River as well as the Honda Bay at isa lang ang napansin ko. All people were smiling, showing their love to their girlfriend/boyfriend, husband/wife, family, children, friends and whatever relationship they had.

King and I were walking now on the seashore. “How was it? Masaya ba?” He asked whilst smiling. I just nodded and gave him a genuine smile, “Yan ang ngiting gusto kong makita.” He said happily.

Ngiting gusto niyang makita? Napaisip ako, matagal na panahon na rin pala mula nang ngumiti ako nang ganito.

“You must smile that way… everyday Kisha.” He said seriously and when I look at him malayo lang yung tingin niya.

We sat on the seashore at pinagmasdan ang mga agos. “Thank you King.” I said and he looked at me. “You don’t need to thank me Kisha, I just want to show you that you must be happy no matter what. You see those genuine smiles on their faces? I hope now you realize why I brought you to those places.” King said at may Ibinato sa dagat.

“Yes, and now I got it. That would be our project as well.” I said and smiled. “Hindi lang naman yung project ang importante dito Kisha, what’s important is we learned something that can change our own lives.” King emphasize and I look at him.

“ Bakit mo to ginagawa King?” I asked him. Tumingin din siya sa akin, but this time Napaka-seryoso ng mga ngiti niya. “Because I see the pain in your eyes Kisha.” He said sadly and I abruptly look away.

“What pain are you talking about?” I tried to sound so clueless. “You can fake your smile, your laugh but not the way to look to the things around you.” Makahulugang sabi ni King. I gave him a puzzled look.

“You can’t be that silly!” I shrieked. “Kisha, ano bang ikinakatakot mo? Why not share it? Wait don’t get the wrong idea, I don’t want to pry. Pero kung nasasaktan kana kahit hindi sa akin kahit sa mga taong malalapit na lang sayo, why  not confess to them your problem?” King said.

Is he insane!? Wala siyang alam!

“You’re crazy! Wala kang alam King!” I screamed. He shook his head, “Sa ngayon wala Kisha, but I feel you. I feel the way you were hurt. The way you look those couples, the way you talk or shout, I know you were suffering on a great pain.” King said worriedly.

Seriously? Sino ba siya sa akala niya? He don’t know me!

“Just tell anyone with regards of that problem of yours. I may not know it, but I know, I really do know that it gradually kills you emotionally.” King said.

Who is this people beside me? Parang hindi siya si King.

“How can I suppose to tell anyone!? Kung sarili ko nga hindi ko matulungan.” I said and my voice cracked. “Exactly, hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon kaya mong tulungan ang sarili mo that’s why you need others. You keep that pain in you kaya minsan pati kaibigan mo takot ng Lumapit sayo.” King said at tumayo na ito at pinagpag ang short niya.

“You should think about that Kisha, hindi ka nag-iisa.” With that umalis na siya, I was left dumbfounded. Unconsciously, tears started flowing in my eyes. Bumabalik nanaman kasi yung sakit ng nakaraan.

Hanggang kailan ba ako magtitiis? Until when? Kailan ba yung araw na kahit maalala ko pa siya eh wala na yung sakit? Im so tired living my life miserable.

Mabilis akong tumayo and walk away. I don’t care where am I going.

I just want to save my heart from pain.
