"A-ah..." I don't know what to say right now. I'm...speechless.
"It's alright." What does he mean by that? Does he already know?
"I already know. Don't need to hide things from me."
I sighed. Galit kaya sya?
"Don't worry, I'm not mad." Umiwas ako ng tingin sa kanya. Because the moment that I looked directly into his eyes, malalaman ko kung ano bang sinasabi ng mga iyon.
"Are you sure?" I said while looking at the floor. I just...can't.
"Yeah. Because I trust you."
"But...I really don't trust him." He added.
Fine, alam ko naman na may sama sya ng loob kay Azreel.
Who wouldn't be?
"Thank you." I looked into his eyes, finally and then I smiled.
It feels good to know that your partner places his trust on you.
Nagulat ako ng hinawakan nya ulit yung stuff toy at diretsong tinapon sa basurahan.
Shoot, three points.
"B-bakit mo tinapon?" Gulat kong tanong. Akala ko ba...
"Akala ko, hindi ka galit?"
"Hindi nga..."
Ano ba talaga, Zachary?
---
Zach
Gulat syang tumingin sakin nung tinapon ko yung stuff toy na yun. Sakto pa na na-shoot sa basurahan.
"Akala ko, hindi ka galit?"
"Hindi nga..."
Nagkaroon ng katahimikan. Gusto kong basahin kung ano ang nasa utak nya pero hindi ko magawa.
Dahil imposible naman talagang mangyari.
"Hindi ako galit sayo."
Isa.
Dalawa.
Tatlo.
At maraming segundo ang lumipas ngunit wala parin syang imik.
"Galit ako sa kanya."
Then in just one snap, finally, I caught her attention.
But she's just looking at me while her mouth is shut.
"Why don't he just leave us alone? Can't he have his happiness? Eh g*go kasalanan nya naman na iniwan ka nya! Hindi nya ba naisip yun? Such an immature a*shole!"
"Zachary." Pagbabanta nya sakin.
"Hindi ba sya masaya na masaya ka na? Hindi ba't, yun yung gusto nya?"
"Zach, ano ba! Wag mo na syang patulan dahil sa ginagawa mong yan, wala ka ring pinagkaiba sa kanya."
I clenched my jaw before speaking again, matagal ko ng gustong sabihin sa kanya yet nauunahan lang ako ng takot.
"Malaki. Malaki ang pinagkaiba ko sa kanya. Dahil sya, past. At ako, I am the present and the future. At ako, hinding hindi kita iiwan kagaya ng ginawa nya dati. I won't let you cry again, once is enough."
"Please lang, don't let him get you...away from me."
"I won't ever let myself away from you, just remember that."
