The Curious Case of Dylan Wang ∆

CCODW : Part 3

Venus

Tahimik lang akong tinitingnan si Dylan na namimili ng order niya sa menu, something is wrong.  Kanina ay nagalala ako ng malaman na nagcollapsed ito, then all of sudden sinasabi niya na okay na sya. I'm not convinced.

" Dylan. " I called while he's saying hes order.

" What? May gusto ka pa bang iorder? " He asked but I shrugged my head instead I sighed deeply as I look at him.

" Ano ba nangyari sayo kanina? "I asked coz it's freaking bugging my mind.

" I told you, gutom lang ako. Hahaha.  Pati nice excuse ko na rin yun dahil wala akong masimulan sa canvass ko. " He said trying to prove na walang anumang maaamang nangyari sa kanya kanina.

" Tss. Wag muna ulit uulitin yun. " I whispered but enough to be heard by him.

" Ang alin? " He asked back.

" Ang pagalalahanin ako. Ayoko na mawala ka ng walang paalam sakin. " I said as I lowered down my voice.

Nagulat ako ng itap niya ang buhok ko.

" Di na mauulit. " He said as he smiled back, my heart pumped out loud nang makita ang mga matang yun.

" Well, kaya pala di mo ko sinipot sa parking, coz may iba kang tatagpuin! Great.  " Nagulat ako ng sumulpot sa harap ko si Yoshi,  mukhang pati si Dylan ay tila nasorpresa na makita yang babaeng yan.

" What are you doing here? She's my friend, and She's out our business, now Get lost! " Dylan says trying to lower down his voice to avoid getting a scene.

" Ako pa ngayon ang aalis? Hey! You flirt, may araw ka rin sakin, and remember This day Dy, No one tried to dumped me easily.  You'll pay for humiliating me! " She warned before she get out from the Japanese Resto we've been eating.

I sighed as she leaves.  Nagulat ako ng hawakan ni Dylan ang kamay ko.

" Don't mind her, as long as nasa tabi moko. No one will dare to hurt you. " He says giving me an assurance.  I smiled uncontrollably,  for the first time he cares about me.

" komawo " I said that made his eyebrows raised.

" Kulawo? Wala nun dito. Ramen lang available. " He said innocently that made me laugh.

" Anong nakakatawa? Baluga ka talaga. " He murmured feeling pissed of what I've said.

" Komawo is a hangul word means Thank you!  I'm not demanding for kulawo! Aish! " I explained enough para irapan niya lang ako.

" Tss. MALAY KO BA. KINAIN KA NA NG MGA KOREANONG IYON. " He sarcastically says at Dumating na rin yung order namin,

Pa tuloy sya sa pagrereklamo sakin, kesyo bat daw ambagal ko kumain, kesyo igawa ko raw sya ng canvass, kesyo ang hirap daw maging gwapo at pati yung langgam nakumagat sa kanya pinagalitan niya rin. HAHAHAHA, I didn't know that Dylan had this side, yung ma kwento.  Andami pa niyang sinasabi sakin na kinatatawa ko na lang, after my treat, Yeah it's my treat dahil wala pa raw syang allowance,  but I know nanloloko lang tong kupal na to, Sadyang Kuripot, Pag dating sa chixx niya kung san san niya dinadala.

" Oppa! " Napatigil sya ng gayahin ko yung aegyo voice ni Choi Aera sa Fight for my way. Sinamaan niya ko ng tingin pero di ako nagpatinag.

" Oppa! Pagod na ko hmm, hmm. Pede mo ba kong buhatin hmm, hmmm! " I said trying to imitate the intonation of Aeras voice, HAHAAHA. DYLAN GLARED AT ME AND CROSSED HIS ARMS.

" Itigil mo nga yang ginagawa mo, Tss. Dika cute, Psh. Bilsan mo lumakad baka wala na tayong bus na maabutan. " Reklamo niya matapos pitikin noo ko. Nauna siyang maglakad, Aish. Bat di sya tinablan ng pacute ko? Hmm.

" Didi saglit! " I shouted nang makita na malayo layo na sya sakin.

" Dylan~ Inaantok na ko. Bat antagal ng byahe? " I asked Dylan whose crossing his arms while silently listening to his ipad.

I look outside the window, ako kase yung nasa tabi ng bintana, and Yis! Magkatabi kami sa bus. Umuulan pala, kaya siguro traffic.

Napahikab hikab ako habang inaantay ang mabagal na pagusad ng bus.

Hanggang sa bumigat na talukap ng mga mata ko.

Dylan

" Tsk. Sinasabi ko na nga ba. " Yun na lang nasambit ko ng bumagsak ang ulo niya sa balikat ko. Ang ingay ingay niya kanina at puro kalokohan pinagsasabi niya. HAHAHA. OOPAKAN KO NAKAKAOPPA.

" Didi~ " Bahagya akong napalingon ng umimik ito habang natutulog pa rin.

" Wag moko iiwan. " Natigilan ako sa huling sinabi nito. I look at her at inaayos ang ilang buhok na tumatakip sa mukha nito.

Venus is my friend, I'm also aware of her feelings toward me, and I wouldn't let her to fall for me, Ayokong lumalim ang nara ramdaman niya sakin, knowing that masasaktan ko lang sya kapag sumugal ako, I will not allowed myself to ruin our friendship.  Mas okay na yung ganito lang kami. Para oras na lumalala ang sakit ko, di ako masyadong magiiwan ng malalim na sugat sa puso niya.

After few more minutes ay huminto na ang bus. Tulog pa rin ito kaya binuhat ko na lang ito, Ang lalim ng hilik nito kaya minabuti kong wag na lang itong bisingin. Some girls looked at us err should I say envy this dumb girl I'm carrying.  They keep on saying on how lucky Vee to be carried by a Dylan Wang. 

Nang makababa kami sa bus ay buhat ko pa rin ito sa likod ko. I was slowly walking dahil ambigat nang babaeng to.

My phone suddenly beep for a second,  I don't mimd it since I'm still walking,  pero nasundan ito ng tawag.

I wasn't able to answer kaya minabuti kong magmadali na, Hinatid ko si Venus sa condo unit niya, since I know her passcode ay hiniga ko na sya sa kama.

Oh. Wag na kayong magtaka if I know her passcode,  It's a simple 1111 that even a kindergarten will know.

Iniwan ko na sya at ako naman ang sumalampak sa kama ko. Then I remembered the call earlier,  I get my phone and suddenly my heart trembled as I saw the caller's ID.

From : Penelope
          It's been a while. I badly missed you Dy. I'm still broke, but still hoping for the two of us. I love you hubby.

I froze from the moment I've read the text. Penelope is the only girl I've loved but I can't love. Funny isn't it? She's my first love but I broke up with her after my rare disease occurs. 

Muntik na kong mamatay ng dahil sa kanya, dahil ayoko siyang iwan, but Drake forced me to do it. My brother dont want me to lost too.

I'm just hoping na mawala na tong sakit ko. I'm tired.

I put down my phone and look at the ceiling. How many more days should I count to find the cure of mh unknown diseased.
