Be Your Everything(KathQuen)

Chapter 15

(Carlos POV)

“Hey Carlos! How are you?!” Nandito pa din ako sa may park and kadadating lang ni Lucy. Mga babae talaga, ang hilig magpa-hintay. Sabi niya ‘Don’t be late’ samantalang siya mga 15 minutes akong pinag-hintay. Halos maka-tulog ako sa sobrang pagka-bored. =_=”  Kay Sophie lang naman ako nakakapag-hintay, gaano katagal.

“What took you so long?” Tanong ko sakanya sa cold voice. Sanay na yan, and alam naman niya na I hate waiting, same like her.

“Hahahaha! I’m so sorry. Maybe preparing? And I also met up with my boyfriend before going here.” She reasoned out, kaya naman pala, psh.

“Okay, okay.” So ayun nag-catch up muna kami. Mga halos 2 hours din kaming nakapag-usap dahil ilang years na rin kaming hindi nagkikita. Mga nasa bandang 2:30 na ng maisipan namin na mag-lunch. Habang naglu-lunch,ikinwento ko na rin sakanya kung bakit ako napa-tawag sakanya ng biglaan.

“So, what’s up with the sudden call? Anything you want to ask? A favor? Advice?” She knows me too well, kahit na hindi kami mag-kasama throughout this year, siya yung recently kong tinatakbuhan , everytime na broken hearted ako (which is, by the way, everyday.)

“Advice.” I said. She nod and told me to tell her everything.

“Ahmm, so you know who is Sophie right?” I asked her, and immediately she nod. “So we’re here in London, I mean, her, me, Luis, Chloe, Claudia, and her boyfriend Riley.” She nods, and by the way, she already knew who Luis, Chloe, Claudia, and of course Riley.

“We’re here to have a quality time with each other, as you know, Chloe and Luis will get married soon and for the sake of me being away for two months. I can see that Sophie’s happy with Riley, but it really hurts, here.” I said and points at my chest, where my heart is.

“Recently, I’m thinking about confessing, but I know it’s too late, and I don’t want to break their relationship. Before going here, Luis and Claudia had the same advice for me, to confess my feelings because they said that I should have told her about how I truly feel for her before letting go. But I can’t turn back time now, can I?” I continued, ahh, naba-bading ako kasi naiiyak na talaga ako, nagpi-pigil lang ako.

“All I can do is stare at them from far away, watching them. I can’t bare this pain anymore.” Sabi ko pa, naihilamos ko na yung kamay ko sa mukha ko.

Binigyan niya ako ng tissue. And tinanggap ko naman ito. Grabe talaga, ngayon lang ako umiyak para sa babae, nung nag-break nga kami ng ex ko, wala akong naramdaman, ako nga din kasi ang nakipag-break dun, ewan na-fall out siguro ako?

“I can see that you really love her.” Duh, e di sana hindi ako naiyak dito. “But Carlos this is also your fault, I know it hurts, but I think Luis and Claudia’s advice is not that bad, you really should at least confess to her, you know? Do you want to just keep that to yourself forever? It’s either you confess or just keep it. If you confess, nothing’s gonna change, you’ll just have to explain that you just want to tell her about how you truly feels, after all she’s in a relationship with Riley. You can still ask her to stay friends with you, or you will avoid her for the sake of moving on. Either way you have to start anew.” She advice. Either way, masakit pa rin, kasi may nagmamay-ari na sakanya and that’s definitely not me.

After nun, natahimik kami habang nakain, then maya-maya, inaya niya ako na samahan daw siyang mag-shopping,mga nasa bandang 3:00 na nang maka-alis kami sa restaurant.

Nag-shopping lang si Lucy habang ako ang taga-bitbit ng mga paper bags. =_=

Mga halos 5:00 ng matapos siya sa kaka-ikot, buti naman, ang sakit na ng mga paa ko eh. T_T
