Everything I Didn't Say – Chapter Five

AN: Hey! Sorry for the inconvenience. I just noticed yesterday that I had published the wrong chapter lol. Here's the real chapter five :) Enjoy!

---

Hindi na lang ako nagsalita pagkatapos 'non. Ano na naman ba 'tong lumalabas sa bibig ko? I don't want her to get the wrong idea or assumption. I still don't like her.

The second pair didn't get it. Wilmer was furious because Ezra was just laughing the whole time. Ngayon pa nga lang ay hindi na siya seryoso sa paglalaro. Sa tingin niya ba, maniniwala ako na siya ang nagluto ng Menudo?

"Oh my God, si President ang maga-act!" Tili ng ibang babaeng kaklase.

"Pres, galingan mo! Walang lalambot-lambot dito!" Sabi ni Daisy.

Natawa si Kaia sa reaksyon nila. I am not nervous but I also want to back out. Hindi naman talaga ako introvert. Well, when situation calls for it, I can be sociable but being alone is my forte. I accepted the fact that no one stays forever or it's better to say that I can't stay with them forever.

This sickness is a fucking hindrance. I don't want to associate myself with people who seem to expect something from me. I always tell them not to expect because I would just disappoint them. I warned them. Huwag nila akong sisisihin kung magagalit at masasaktan sila sa huli.

That's why I'm trying to get rid of Kaia.

I know that she's something. I know that she's not just the girl who's popular with the guys. I know that she's more than that and as early as now, ayokong ako pa ang makakakita noon. Because if I do... Baka ako na mismo ang papatay sa sarili ko.

I can't hurt her.

I don't want to hurt her.

"Sa harap ka Pres. Kaia, upo ka 'dun."

Nakatayo na ako sa harapan niya. Bumunot ako sa fishbowl na dala-dala ni Daisy.

Binigay naman kaagad niya sa akin 'yon. Tagalog song ang category namin. Fuck. Hindi ako mahilig makinig ng kanta!

Bumunot ulit ako sa isang fishbowl na naglalaman ng mga kanta. Sana naman ay 'yung alam ko. Sana naman 'yung palagi kong napapakinggan sa bahay.

If You Ever Change Your Mind – Marion Aunor

Really?

This song?

Bigla akong napatingin kay Kaia.

"There was once a time, when I thought of no one else but you..."

Tinapunan ko siya nang masamang tingin.

"Stop singing. Hindi mo pa nga tapos sagutan 'yung number three." Reklamo ko sa kanya.

But she just shrugged her shoulders. Laking gulat ko nang ikabit niya sa kaliwang tenga ko ang earphone niya. Tapos bigla ko na lang na-realize na naibaba ko na pala ang ballpen kong hawak.

"You'd look into my eyes, and I see, the whole world in front of me..." Then unconsciously, I looked at her and she looked at me too. Siya ang unang bumitiw ng tingin samantalang ako ay nakatingin lang sa mukha niya.

This isn't good.

"We were perfect for each other, no one else would dare compare, no..." She closed her eyes. "Thought that we were steadfast, But feelings don't last...Oh no, no..." Kumuyom ang kamao ko.

Pinatong niya ang mukha niya sa lamesa kaya nahila ako nang kaunti. Pinatong ko ang kanang kamay ko sa lamesa and placed my chin above my palm then looked at her. Buhok lang ang nakikita ko sa kanya pero kitang-kita ko ang leeg niyang namumula.
