Love Suicide

NOVEMBER 17: Tuesday

"What the hell are you thinking? Wait, are you even thinking?" Natatawa-tawa niya pang tanong saakin.

Tiningnan ko lang siya ng seryoso. "Jacq Nav, don't look at me like that." He said with a hand gesture.

I roll my eyes and not even interested to talk to him. But then he's talking to me.

"Jacq." Narinig kong tawag niya saakin. Napatingin nalang ako sa kaniya ng blanko. "I'll ask you a question."

"Ako muna." Mahina kong sabi habang blanko pa din na nakatingin sa kaniya. Nakita ko ang pagngiti niya dahilan para mapa-urong ako ng kaunti. "Sino ka ba, ha?"

Narinig ko nalang ang kaniyang pagtawa. "Sumama ka dito saakin nang hindi mo ako kilala?" And again, he chuckle. "Hi, I'm Hillary Polinares." Sabi niya habang itinaas ang kaniyang kanang kamay at nakangiti na halos mapunit na ang kaniyang mukha sa kakangiti. "Call me... Lary." He then added.

"Nagpakilala ka na kahapon." Sabi ko ng walang ekspresyon sa mukha. "Ang ibig ko'ng sabihin, bakit ka nakikipagkita saakin?"

Napangiti ulit siya habang ibinababa na ang kaniyang kanang kamay. "Good question, Jacq Nav." Sabi niya habang ipinitik ang kaniyang kamay. "I'm from the Authority of DeathPort.com." nakangiti niyang sabi saakin habang ako, nagulat pero hindi ko ipinahalata.

"So?" I asked monotonously.

"So, I wanted to know if you really want to leave Quin." He said in a matter of factly tone.

"Then?" I asked for more but he then look at me seriously while putting his both arms over his chest.

"That's just the question that you need to answer." Seryoso na niyang sabi.

"Why do you need to know?" I heard him once again, chuckle but then his eyes were still blank and I can see seriousness on it.

"I'm the Authority. The true authority, Jac Nav." Madiin niyang sabi saakin.

"Okay." Sabi ko nalang habang umiiwas ng tingin sa kaniya.

"Then, what is it all about?" He asked and I still can't look at him.

Actually, yesterday he more look like a mature man but that's just a thought. Not until I met him now, and I can say that he's not mature, he's immature.

I sigh. "Jacq, tell." Said the guy in front of me.

"I'll not leave him." I said in an emphasis and looking away from his curious eyes.

"Then why do you have to say goodbye?" He asked in seriousness.

"I didn't say goodbye." I said as I close my eyes. "I remember saying, see you again. But I never said goodbye."

I heard him chuckle that's why I look at him. Now, his arms are placed on the table and drinked his coffee. "Really, huh?"

I just roll my eyes on him. "Why do you have to ask if it seems like you're not going to believe what I've said?"

He chuckled. Para siyang baliw, tae. "Then if not, bakit sinabi mong magde-depart kayo?"

I roll my eyes. "Kasi gusto ko." I said in matter of factly tone.
