Chapter 9
Is this the start of goodbye?
[LEIN POV]
Galing ako sa may open field nang napadaan ako ng gym. I saw Jeff coming kaya napasunod ako bigla. Nakita ko rin si Alex. They’re playing hoops. FVK! Nagkiss sila sa lips. Paksh8! Tumutulo nanaman luha ko. I leave the gym and went to the comfort room. FU! It hurts a lot to see them kissing! Nagbell na. Sh8! I need to pretend that I am alright.
“Oh Lein , anong nangyari? Ba’t ka umiyak?” shoot. Halata pang umiyak ako at si Alex pa nagtanong. Ikaw may kasalanan ee!
“Ah wala. Napuwing lang ako galing kasi ako ng open field kanina.” Yeah , best liar.
“Ah okay.” I look at her , she’s so happy and when I look at Jeff he’s also wearing a big smile. I was so jealous! I need to do something.
[ALEX POV]
Months have passed. Ilang buwan na ring nanliligaw si Jeff. Everyday was a typical day until one day , my brother woke me up. No Jeff fetching me from home to school , no Jeff playing hoops with me during lunch breaks. I don’t know what’s happening I am texting him no reply. I approached him but he igmnores me. I dunno what’s happening. Maybe he is tired of waiting maybe he is tired of hoding the ball through his hands that why he shoots it. Everyone notices about it. I just act as if I am not affected and just deal with it until one fine day a news catches my ear.
“Ui te! Alam mo ba palagi daw magkatext si Lein at Papa Jeff?” I was shocked on what Al said.
“Seriously? Ok lang. Let them be happy.”
“Pero di ba nililigawan ka ni Jeff? Anyare dun?” – Sam
“I dunno. I just woke up one day no Jeff in my life” suddenly I fell that tears will come out from my eyes so I hurriedly went out of the room and went to the gym and a handkerchief is given to me by a person.
“Oh best , punasan mo na luha mo. Di ako sanay na umiiyak ka.”
“Clint?” How did he know that I am going here?
[CLINT POV]
I’ve been quiet for times. Hindi ako nakikialam sa lovelife ng best ko pero palagi akong anjan pag kailangan niya ng kaibigan. This is my first time na nakita siyang umiyak at nasaktan. She never cry for a man sabi niya kasi he’s not worth for her tears. Habang kinakausap siya kanina nila Al nakikinig na ako at nakatingin sa kanya I was a bit worried until she walks out of the room. Alam ko naman sa gym lang yan pupunta. I know everything about her. Best nga di ba?
“Oh best , punasan mo na luha mo. Di ako sanay na umiiyak ka.”
“Clint?”
“Oh punasan mo na nga yan. Ang pangit mo na e” nang-asar pa ako di ba?
“Paano mo nalaman andito ako?”
“Best , insticts. I know everything about you. Naku naman. Bestfriend mo diba ako?”
“Thank you for being here.”
“Anytime. Can I ask a question?”
“What?”
“Is he worth-it of your tears?”
“Huh?”
“Have you forgotten that he is the first man you shed your tears? Di ba sabi mo dati they are not worth-it of your tears. So is this man worth-it that’s why you’re crying that hard huh?”
“You know I didn’t cry because he’s worth-it I cry because of what he did to me he didn’t even say goodbye to me. I just woke up one day without him in my life and it sucks. I love him but what does he do with my feelings , with me? He just dumped me like a basketball! And the worst thing is he was rebounded by my friend. It sucks man! It sucks!”
