A Deal For 100 Days (KathNiel FanFiction)

Chapter 32

Hello! Sorry to keep you waiting . I've been so busy. Please have a long patience in waiting for the next Chapters .

>Kath's POV<

"Hi." I greeted him with a smile. He's sitting outside the room of his father. I arrived about an hour ago. Dumiretso ako sa hospital kahit na wala pa akong pahinga.

"Why are you here?" walang emosyong tanong niya sa akin.

"Hindi naba ako pwedeng dumalaw sa Daddy mo? He's been my father-in-law too." Sagot ko at tumabi sa kanya. He's so down right now. I can feel it because of his heavy breathes and sighs.

"Pumasok ka sa loob kung gusto mo siyang makita." He's talking to me as if I am a very old friend that doesn't matter to him anymore.

"DJ."

"Hindi kita kailangan."

Pilit kong iniintindi ang pakikitungo niya ngayon sa akin. He has a huge problem to face and at the same time I know I am the very last person he wants to see right now. But I will not leave him, he needs a friend.

"Papasok na lang muna ako. I'll leave you here. I know you need time to be alone." Tumayo ako and walk towards the door of Tito Richard's room.

"When did you arrive?" I'm about to open the door when I heard him. Napangiti ako. Tumalikod ako sa pinto at naglakad pabalik sa kanya.

"You want me to sit here longer and be with you?" I ask him. Nakangiti ako. Pero mapang-asar na ngiti ang ipinapakita ko. Hindi ko mapigilan ang ngumiti. I am asking for his answer pero nakatitig lang siya sa akin.

"Bakit ka nakangiti?" biglaang kumunot ang mga noo niya. Nagtataka siya kung pangit panay pa rin ang ngiti ko sa kanya.

"Gusto mong lumabas muna?" yaya ko sa kanya.

"Don't divert the topic." Seryoso na naman ang mukha niya.

"Want to eat somewhere?" hindi ko pa rin sinasagot ang tanong niya.

"I'm waiting for someone."

"Pupunta ba dito ang barkada?" hindi ko ipinaalam sa kanila na uuwi ako kaya alam kong masusurpresa na naman sila pagdating nila ditto.

"They're busy preparing for the wedding." Kumunot ang noo ko sa sagot niya. If he's not waiting for them, who's that "someone" na sinasabi niya. I don't want to jump into conclusions but I can feel there's something wrong right now.

Biglang tumunog ang phone niya. He answered it while I'm there looking at him with confusion.

"Nandito ka na?" mas lalong kumunot ang nook o dahil curios na ako kung sino ang kausap niya.

"Sige, I'm here outside the room waiting for you." Waiting for who? Naguguluhan na ako. Iba ang kutob ko. Si Julz ba ang kausap niya. Pero sabi nina Mommy hindi na sila nagkikita ni Julz.

He then ended the call and put back his phone in his pocket. I'm about to ask him kung sino ang kausap niya pero may tumawag ng pangalan niya mula sa likuran.

"Dan!" tawag ng boses na ilang taon ko ring hindi narinig. My instinct was right. Si Julz ang hinhintay niya.

"Kath. Nakabalik ka na pala." Hindi ko nakita ang gulat sa kanyang mukha. Hindi ko mabasa ang expression ng mukha niya. She's smiling but I don't know if it's sincere or just a fake act.

"Yes, kanina lang." I answered her back and smiled like nothing is wrong in this situation.

"Is it for good?" bakit niya tinatanong to? It's none of her business.
