100 DAYS OF YOU (A MAYWARD STORY)

Part 89

'Hey hey what's wrong?'

Bumaba si Ethan sa sasakyan ng may hawak na payong.

He helped me in getting up.

Pagkatayong pagkatayo ko ay yinakap ko siya ng mahigpit.

'Please don't go anywhere. Please.' Pagmamakaawa ko sa kanya habang umiiyak.

'What? Where am I even going?' Tanong niya.

'Si Laureen. Sabi ni Laureen aalis ka na daw! Sasama ka daw kay Hope.' I said in between sobs.

'Wait! What?' Halatang gulat na gulat si Ethan na ngayon ay basa na din dahil
Sa pagkakayakap ko sa kanya.

'No!!! I am not going anywhere and I would definitely not be going to the states with Hope. I love my life to let you kill me by doing that.' Natatawa niyang tugon habang pinupunasan ang mukha at inaalis ang mga buhok na napunta na sa mukha ko gamit ang mga kamay niya.

'H-huh? H-hindi ka aalis?' I looked at him straight in the eyes to make sure he's saying the truth.

'No. I can't leave you. I wouldn't dare to!' Natatawang sagot ni Ethan na ikinainis ko naman.

Basang basa ako at umiiyak tapos siya tatawa tawa lang! I started to pound Ethan's chest.

'Stop it.' Hinarangan niya ang mga kamay konwith his hands.

'Eh bakit ka natatawa?'

'Cause you look so cute.' Sabi nito. He pulled me closer to kiss me on the forehead and hugged me tightly.

'Tapos na kayo maglandian? Pwede na kayo umalis dyaan? malalate na ako sa flight ko.' Sabi ni Hope.

'You're leaving?' Tanong ko sa kanya.

'Obviously! Yeah. Alone. Not with Ethan!' Sabi niya habang nakapamewang.

'I never see myself as the villain. So I'm leaving you 2 alone para naman maayos na ninyo ng tuluyan ang mga bagay na kailangan ninyong ayusin.'

'Are you serious?' Tanong kong muli sa kanya.

'Ayaw mo ba? I can still change my mind.' Tanong ni Hope ng nakataas ang kilay.

'I mean .. uhm.' Hindi ko din alam paano sasabihin sa kanya.

'See? It's okay Maddie. This is the best thing to do! I love Ethan a lot that I want him to be happy with you! Tigilan niyo na yang kaartehan ninyo and make up!' Pangaasar nito.

'Obviously you can't take me to the airport anymore with how you look like so I better get going.' Baling naman nito kay Ethan.

'You sure you'd be alright?' Tanong naman nito sa kanya.

'Yeah yeah. I'd be fine.'

Ethan hugged Hope and asked for her take care and be safe.

Maya maya pa ay dumating na din si Tatay Nonong to drive Hope to NAIA.

Samantalang kami ni Ethan ay naiwan sa labas na natatawa sa itsura naming dalawa.

'Where's your sister?' Tanong ko sa kanya with clenched teeth. 'I can't believe Laureen did this to me.'

'Why? I am thankful she did whatever it was she did. If not for her then god knows how long would you still be taking to talk to me.' Pangaasar naman ni Ethan.

'I hate you! I hate you and Laureen.' Pinaghahampas ko na naman siya.

He restrained me by putting his arms around me and lifted me up.
