Chapter 22

Ganoon pa man paki sabi nalang na mahal ko siya. Di na baleng may mahal siyang iba.
Paki sabi nalang na wag siyang mag-alala di na ako umaasa…
Alam kong itoy Malabo, di ko na mababago…
Guess the song guys… it’s a tagalog song… I will reward the first one that will get the song.

“Im so sorry, I already had a boyfriend and I love him. But matty confessed to me that he loves me. I’m so sorry I
didn’t mean to hurt me. I wasn’t expecting that he will tell me that. I’m so sorry I don’t have a bad intentions on him, I
didn’t know that he was going to act like that…”

“oh poor Matty…” umiyak ang mother niya sa harapan ni May. Tapos sinabi niya ang lahat-lahat kaya naman
naintindihan naman siya ng mother nito. Nabigla si May ng Makita nito na nasa hagdan si Matty naka tingin lang sa
kanilang tatlo. Sabog ang mukha nito, mapulang mapula at ang buhok nito ay magulo. Nabigla rin ang mother at father
nito. Tahimik lang silang tatlo wala ng kumibo.

Discomfort is on the air again. Pumunta siya sa kusina at kumuha ng tubig. Mukhang hindi na siya lasing.
Nakatingin lang ang tatlo sa kanya. Habang umiinom siya ng tubig. Parang sasabunutan na ng nanay niya si Matty.
Nagulat naman si May sa reaksyon ng mother niya.

“Matty youre not sleeping yet” taas kilay ng mama niya. “can’t you see mom im drinking water”
Her mother is gritting her teeth. Nanggigil siya sa mukha ng anak niya.
“you get inside to your room Matty and don’t be such a baby youre embarrassing me…”

Naghinala naman si matty swaiying his arms. At confused sa sarili kung bakit naman ganoon nalang ang sinabi
ng mama niya. “ano bang nakakahiya ditto wala naman tayong bisita? At sa tagal ko ng gumigising ng ganito ngayon
niyo lang ako napuna” kaya ng di na matiis ng mama niya tumayo siya at kinurot si matty. Kaya naman para siyang aso
na pinagalitan ng amo. Tumakbo pa siya hangang sa kwarto. “don’t you dare come down here without a clothes on”

Her mother took a seat and began to talk. “Im so sorry for that May, he was not that kind of kid we all knew. He
is just like that because he it’s his home. Alam naman natin na ganyan na talaga si Matty” sabay ngiti sa kanyang asawa.
Tapos ngumiti din ang mister niya.
After that discussion Matty went downstairs and her mother ordered him to get her home. On the other way
around Matty didn’t like the idea of being with her again. His feelings won’t settle down, and it will come back again.

When they both went out. He slides down his hands to his pockets. Carefully to keep off his hands from her. He followed
her behind making sure they won’t meet in the eyes.
When she got in the front door she stopped. She never faced him. “goodnight matty” then she turns the doorknob.
But before she could open it, matty talked to her. “I think we should never meet again May.” he did not see her
expression. She just walked inside and closed the door. So that’s it, that is how they will end their best friend
relationship. Because somehow they both needed space.

When she closes the door, everything went blurred. She felt like floating. She can’t feel her face. May sasabihin
pa sana siya, kaso lang mukhang naiintindihan naman ni Matty na they both need space. There is a guilt on her heart.
She defitely don’t want to lose him. Inalalayan siya ng Nanay niya papuntang kwarto para makapag pahinga. And she
lay on her bed to sleep. She was like a ghost. Sinarado na ng nanay niya ang kanyang pintuan. Jonah has been calling
him but she didn’t answered any of it. Wala siya sa mood ngayong gabi, hangang sa pagtulog kasi si Matty parin ang
nasa isipan niya.

And after a minute Jonah texted her, “whats wrong?” she did not reply to his message. Instead she slept. Napagod
na siya sa nakaka stress na araw niya. She needs a goodnight sleep.

*************

She woke up in early 4 in the morning today. She heard a tapping on her window sill. Then She stands and walk
to her window. She saw Jonah’s car and its parked outside. And for pete’s sake he was trying to climd on the window.
Kaya naman nagpanic si May. Agad agad siyang bumukas ng bintana para tulungan si Jonah na makapasok sa kwarto
niya. Goodness wala pa siyang matinong damit, naka tshirt lang siya ng puti. Mga braso pa nitong namumu-o ng mga
muscles. Hindi pa niya nakita si Jonah na ganito ang suot. Para lang siyang tambay sa palengke sa mukha niya. Baka
hindi pa nga siya nakakapaghilamos. Kitang kita ko pa ang kanyang mga oils sa face.

Ng maka akyat na siya talagang napahinga siya ng malalim. Kala mo umakyat ng tatlong bukid. Napagod talaga
siya at makikita mo sa expression niya. Buti nga lang merong tubig si May sa kwarto niya. binigyan niya ng tubig si
Jonah. Matapos niyang maka inom ng tubig napa tingin siya kay May. “is that your night dress?” shocks… napatingin
din si May sa damit nito. Nainitan kasi siya sa damit niya kaya naman nag bihis siya ng night dress. Hindi na nito
napansin na wala siyang bra at panty na suot ngayon. Kinurot nito si Jonah sa braso. “aray…” mahinang sabi nito. “you
should change before I might get a wrong idea here…” kaya naman dumiretso na si May kanyang Cr.

Nilibot ni Jonah ang kanyang kwarto habang nagpapalit ng damit si May and he saw Matty’s room. Pagkalabas ni
May sa Cr. Abot langit ang ngiti ni Jonah. She is wearing a cute cat loose shirt with a pajama. And she tied her hair in
loose bun. Napa upo si Jonah sa bed niya at tiningnan siya mula ulo hangang paa.
“so what is wrong with my outfit Jonah?”

He just smiled amusing. Trying to hide his expression. “don’t you do that to me, Jonah!”

He smiled again this time it’s more real than the other smile “or what?”
