Memories Twisted

Chapter 8

Zane's POV

Kahit ilang araw nang nanliligaw tong si Henrie. Hayst. Di ko parin nasasagot. Yun bang parang natatakot akong sagutin to. Alam ko namang may magandang intensyon tong baliw na to pero... I think I'm not ready because of my first heart break. Yes, you heard it right. I already have an ex. And he was my closest friend before. I fell for him maybe because of how he treats me. He treats me like his very own boss. If there's a fight, he's right out there to save me. If there's any problem, he's right there to listen. Until one day, I was always waiting for him, I always wanted to see him, to gaze at his smiles. That's how I found out I loved him. I kept the feeling for like four months because I need to make sure it was only a Crush. 'Till he knew. We both talked through it and said he had the same feelings too. My heart was really happy those times. It was jumping out of joy. We became boyfriends for a few months. But then one of my friends said that it was only for fun. Pustahan lang pala yun ng mga kaibigan nya. I asked him if it's true. And he said it is. I started crying on the floor finding myself na hinihile niya. Pinapatahan niya ako. He said he loves me. But I refused, my mind was already black. Nothing to think of but leaving him and breaking up with him. Ngayon, nandito na ako sa Monsieur Dela Vega. Nagtransfer kami ng home place at nagtransfer narin ako ng school. And I wouldn't dare go back to the past. I may look back but I must never stop moving forward.

Sa ngayon, nandito ako sa kuwarto. Nakahiga, and waiting for Mom to call me. Para akong bata, Hahaha! I watched my phone and it was still 4:30 in the morning. I kinda got used na maaga nang gumising dahil kay Kuya John. Kainis yung baliw na yun lagi akong tinatawagan this time of the morning para gumising. Pero, I'm surprised there aren't any calls. Maybe he knows already that I'm awake. He expected it probably. I sat up in my bed thinking of something. What will I do now? Hmmmm. I spoke to myself. And I thought of calling Kuya John. I took my phone and saw the time was already 4:45, he would probably be awake by now. I dialled him. Sumagot naman siya.

"Oh? Ba't ang aga mo?" Sagot niya bago mag yawn. Waw, mukhang di siya maagang nagising ngayon. Halatang bagong gising.

"Aluh? Bagong gising?" I said with a grin.

"Obviously, so, why'd you call?" Sabi niya. Haha! Ano nga ba ang rason para tawagan ko siya? Ah!

"Wala, gusto lang kitang asarin. Hehe." Ako habang muntikan nang matawa.

"Ay! Zane naman. Ang sarap pang matulog malamig." Pangrereklamo niya. Aba! Ako nga 'tong ginigising niya araw-araw eh.

"Waw nagreklamo ang laging ginigising ang cute niyang kaibigan."

"Oo nga pala... Pwede samahan mo'ko mamaya?" Weyt. Ano? What's up with him?

"Huh? Why?" Tanong ko.

"Eh kasi... Malapit na birthday ni Andrea. Pwede mo'ko samahan bumili ng gift?" He asked. Oo nga! Malapit na. Samahan ko nalang nga 'tong si Kuya para di matorpe.

"Sige ba. Like I'm needed elsewhere." I agreed.

"Thanks... Oh, by the way. Musta na kayo ni Henrie?" Pang-aasar niya. Hayst. Kainis, why'd we have to go to that topic?!

"I still am not ready of being in a relationship." I argued.

"Ohhhhkay?" He confusingly said. Hayst. No one will understand me. "Can I ask you why?" He added.

"No, I want to keep my privacy to myself for now." I answered, hoping he'll understand.

"Okay, I understand. Everyone has their privacy." He said. "Thank you, Kuya." I smiled, kahit na di niya nakikita.

"So anong oras ka pupunta sa school?" Pagchange niya ng topic.

"Uhmmm, maybe 5:30? I still need to get ready you know." I said with an irksome tone.

"Oh. Right, right. So what're you gonna take for breakfast?" He asked me. Now he's asking what's my breakfast? Wow.

"Depends on what I'll ever find in the kitchen. Hehe." I answered.

"Really? Mag-decide ka na nga. Kung ano yung breakfast mo yun narin yung breakfast ko." What is he thinking? He's gonna eat what I eat?

"What? Why?" Out of curiosity I asked.

"Uhmm... Tinatamad ako eh." For the first time tinamad ang baliw.

"Okay then, uhmmm... Let's see..." I kept on thinking. "C'mon, what is it?" He asked.

"Pancakes! I'm having pancakes!" I shouted. Natameme ako for a short duration. Baka kasi nagising ko si Mama.

"Aish, bakit kailangan ang sumigaw? Mabibingi ako eh." Naiinis niyang wika.

"Sorry naman... Pinilit mo'ko eh." Me begging for his pardon.

"Okay it's decided. We're gonna take pancakes for breakfast."

"Okay! Bye Kuya! I'm gonna take an early bath."

"Okay! Bye!"

*Toot* *call ended*
