I kept thinking about what Jam said the whole week after that vacation. At sa buong week na yun di nagpakita sakin si Jake. Disappearing act na naman ang peg ng lalaking yun.
all the more na na guilty ako sa ginawa ko. Kaya hanggang sa facebook na lang ang pakikibalita ko sa kanya. But kahit don wala akong mapala.
I am so frustrated. At di ko rin mapigilan ang mainis sa kaartehan nya. Alam mo yun? Nabasted lang ganyan na agad sya. I mean duh. Pwede naman nya akobg pilitin kung gusto nya.
So nagpapakipot ka lang pala divina?
"Aaaaargh! Nakakabaliw na to!"
Kinuha ko ang phone ko at knontak si JAM.
"hey. labas tayo."
" girl. im sorry. may lakad ako ngayon e. why? may problema ba?" jam said
" naah. im just....hmmm bored."
"e kase tawagan mo na."
"huh?"
"call him kesa naman isip ka ng isip dyan. diba? i think he's jus---"
"woah woah woah. teka. how come nasama sa usapan si jake."
" hay naku. indenial ka pa."
" fine fine. ill call megan na lang. thanks anyway."
"alrighty"
i texted megan after hunging up. sabi ko magkita na lang kami sa coffee shop.
umuna na ako sa shop para magpalipas ng oras. im not even sure kung makakapunta si megan. pero i waited there outside sipping my frappe when i saw a very familiar face.
"shit" i cussed under my breath.
it couldnt be him. no. of all places, of all people why should it be him.
nakatingin ako sa kanya, making sure na sya nga yun. then napansin kong tumigil sya at lumingon.
he held his hands away and a girl took it. a beautiful mestisa chinita about the same age as ours is now holding his hand.
nagtago ako sa hawak kong frappe at nagsuot g eyeglasses. hoping na hindi nila ako mapansin. thankfully, hindi nila ako nakita.
pumasok sila ng mall holding hands and i suddwnly felt the urge to follow them.
when they have a safe distance away, tumayo ako at sumunod sa kanila. im just curious. just curious.
and jealous.
no! im not jealous. curious lang. yun lang yun.
nasa likod nila ako pero di nila napapansin ang presence ko. busy kase sila ng paglalandian. may pahampas hampas pa yung girl habang tumatawa sa kung anumang sinabi sa kanya ng poncio pilatong lalakeng yan.
pero hindi ako nagseselos. never. duh!
"divina!"
i froze nung marinig ko ang pangalan ko. someone shouted my name loud enough para marinig din ng dalawang love birds. great. just great. -___-
hindi ko maintindihan kung ngingiti ako o mag iinarte akong nagulat. i feel like a child got caught eating junk foods by her parents. demmmmeet.
i looked sternly at megan. why megan why? pinahamak mo ako. now im busted.
i looked back at jake and he's looking at me then megan.
oh what now. what does he think. im spying on him? huh!
you are spying on him. denial queen.
lumapit si megan sakin then she saw my big eyes then she looked at jake and the girl.
parang naguguluhan pa sya sa nangyayari.
" megan! ano ka ba kanina pa kita hinahanap."i said trying to save my ass from embarassment.
" anong ako? ikaw dyan ang kanina ko pa hinahanap. akala ko ba sa coffee--"
" megaaaan. hindi ba sabi ko sa tapat ng national bookstore" sabi ko habang pinaglalakhan sya ng mata.
omygosh meg. sana naman magets mo na. mabibisto ako lalo sa ginagawa mo.
thankfully nagets nya ako then she looked at jake's direction and back to me.
" ay oo nga pala sorry ha. may nakita kasi ako na old friend dun kayaaa hahahaha. sorry my bad" she laughed pero halata namang pilit. haaaynaku meg.
" oh jake. andito din pala kayo. " she said to them.
" yes. namamasyal lang." he said.
i cant even look at him. pero hinila ako ni megpalapit sa kanila. really meg. really. after mo akong ipahamak ganito pa gagawin mo. bibingo ka na talaga sakin.
" sya nga pala. this is kc my friend" jake said introducing the girl.
we exchanged hi and hello, how are you, nice meeting you when kc said...
" i think you should join us."
then meg said...
" yeaah sure"
oh gosh. ground eat me now.
this is going to be awwwkward.
