Chapter 38

"What are you doing here Cath? You're supposed to be with Nathan right?!"

I was wondering. Why is Kuya Mike doing here? Hindi naman to ang pinapasukan niyang school ah. At ang pagkakaalam ko ang pasok niya is 6:30. So why is he here?

"Cath! Are you even listening?" sabi ni Kuya.

We're still at Josh front door. Tulala kami pare-parehas.

"I'm setlling things with Josh. How about you?"

"I'm about to do the same thing."

Napansin ko lang ah. Kahapon pa ko english ng english. Well kami. Naadik na kami magenglish?

"Go to school Cath." sabi ni Kuya

"Nope! I won't. I'm gonna stay here." sabi ko.

"Catherine! Ngayon din umalis kana dito."

"Ayoko nga sabi eh! Kuya please let me fix my own problems!"

"What if you can't fix them by yourself?!"

"Kuya please. I don't what you to be involve in this."

"Tell me why."

"Because I'm mature enough to decide whats good for me."

Nakapamamewang lang si Kuya. Tapos tinignan ako. Straight to my eyes. Bigla siya nagbuntong hininga. Not a word he turn his back and walk away. He can be rude sometimes. BUmalik ang attention ko kay Josh.

"Asan na nga pala tayo?" sabi ko

"You dont have to do this for him." sabi niya.

Natulala ako sa sinabi niya. Ano daw?

"I mean. You can't force yourself to love me just to make Alex safe. I know what I did was wrong. But I swear to God that I will make you happy. Ayokong iba ang gumagawa nun para sakin. Although alam kong mahal mo si Alex. At mahal ka rin niya. Pero mahal din kita Cath. Mahal kita."

Define speechless. Grabe hindi ko matake yung mga sinabi niya. Hindi ko mapasok sa kokote ko. Mahal niya ko.

"I know you wouldn't believe me. It's okay if that is the case. Gusto mo muna pumasok?" 

Tumango na lang ako. For these past days. I never seen him like this. Yung maaruga. Yung kalmado. Yung tipong any minute aasarin ka niya. Pero hindi eh. He just keep smiling. Parang no worries. Inofferan niya ko ng jiuce.

"Thanks." sabi ko.

"Welcome."

Naupo siya sa tabi ko. Nagkatinginan lang kami. Hindi ko na alam ang sasabihin ko. 

"About dun sa sinabi mo kahapon. Is it true?"

Napabuntong hininga siya. Meaning it's true?! Oh no!

"I lied. I was just trying to threath you so that you can choose me."

Okay now he honest?! Anung ba talga kailangan niya at kailangan niyang magpanggap sa harap ng ibang tao?

 "Are you sick?" sabi ko.

"No. Why would I be?" sabi niya

"Because you act different. Hindi ka ganyan sa harap ng ibang tao."

"People change Cath."

"You change? Bilis ah!"

"I accepted the truth na were not for each other. It's better to change."

Nagsmile siya sakin. YUng ngiti niya parang kakaiba. YUng para bang walang halong masamang balak or anything. Nakakaloka!!

"OKay lang naman magbago d ba?" sabi niya.
