Ang Pag-ibig ni Lolita [ COMPLETE ]

CHAPTER TEN

WALA sa mood si David para gumimick ngunit dahil sa kapipilit sa kanya ni Kim ay napilitan siyang sumama dito. Ngayon habang nakikisabay si Kim sa kanta ng bandang tumtugtog ng gabing iyon sa bar ay tila siya pinagsakluban ng langit at lupa. It has been six days, three hours and fifteen minutes since he last saw Lolita. And it really seemed to take the most out of his bad side.

"Aren't you having fun Dave?"

Nag-angat siya ng tingin kay Kim dahil sa tanong nito. Concern was written all over her face. Marahil ay nararamdaman nitong ilang araw na siyang wala sa mood kaya pinilit siya nitong lumabas upang magunwind. "No Kim, I perfectly good. It's fun in here. The music is fun and place—why?" Napahinto siya ng makita niyang sumimangot ito.

"What is fun Dave? The singer is singing a heart break song and you tell me its fun? Really dave, where have you put the real David I used to be with?"

Hindi niya mapigilang maguilty sa sinabi nito. He was being unfair. Simula noong sagutin siya ni Kim, wala itong ginawa kundi ibigay ang lahat ng atensyon nito sa kanya. She had been a very ideal girlfriend. It's a dream come true for him, only it wasn't his dream now. Hindi siya masaya.

"I-im sorry Kim. There's a lot going on and—Kevin?" Biglang naputol ang pagsasalita niya ng makita niya sa kabilang table si Kevin. Uminit bigla ang ulo niya ng makita niyang mainit itong nakikipaghalikan sa isang babae. Walang pagdadalawang isip na tumayo siya sa kanyang kinauupuan saka sinugod ito. Agad niya itong sinuntok na siya namang ikinatumba nito.

He was aware of the screaming inside the bar, the people telling him to stop and Kim holding him. Ngunit wala sa mga iyon ang nakapagpigil sa kanya upang muling suntukin si Kevin ng makatayo ito. "Damn, Kevin!"

"What the heck is your problem, David?" hinawakan ni Kevin ang kwelyo ng suot niyang polo. Marahas niyang piniksi ang kamay nito at muli niya itong sinuntok. Kevin was now sporting a bleeding lip.

"You're my friend. I know how you play with women but playing around with Lolita? I won't let you get away with it!" sinugod niya ito ng suntok ngunit nakaiwas ito, dahilan upag maisandal siya nito sa pader.

"Fuck, David! What are you talking about?"

"Fuck you!" ganting sigaw niya dito. "You are courting Lolita yet here you are, kissing another woman?"

"Who told you that I am courting her?"

"You brought her flowers and chocolates, jerk! What does that mean?"

Hindi na nagkaroon ng pagkakataon para sumagot si Kevin para sumagot dahil muli niya itong sinuntok. Galit nag alit siya ng mga oras na iyon at hindi na niya inintidi ang ilang taong pagkakaibigan nila ni Kevin. He was a playboy and he easily gets away with it everytime. "I won't let you hurt Lolita the way you hurt other girls. You'll only make her cry—"

Bago pa niya matapos ang kanyang paglilintaya ay may mga dumating na mga security ng bar na iyon at agad silang pinaghiwalay ni Kevin. His lips are also bleeding but he seemed to feel nothing except for anger. Galit na galit siya.

Kaya ng magsimulang magsalita si Kim noong nasa parking lot sila ay mas lalo pa yata siyang nawalan ng control sa kanyang sarili. He shouted at her. "Stop it, Kim!"

Tila binuhusan siya ng malamig na tubig ng makita niyang napatigil si Kim at halatang nagulat sa ginawa niya. Then, with a very composed voice, she started talking again. "You know what? I don't why you still pursued me even though you obviously like Lolita."

"K-Kim..."

"Don't say anything David. Hindi moa lam kung gaano ako natuwa noong makita kong nagselos ka ng todo kay Robbie noon. You acted like you wanted to snatch me away from him everytime. Kaya naman noong makita ko na gumagawa ka ng paraan para magkalapit tayo, I turned him down. You see, I have always been confident about us because I somehow know that you like me until Lolita came into your life."
