Hatid Sundo

Hinatid ako ni Von sa condo. We were so quiet the whole ride.While Vienna has been calling me the whole time. I explained to her what happen and she felt so sorry. Mabuti nalang I was able to convince her that I am fine and resting at my condo and that she may continue to party without me .

That night I wasnt able to sleep. Johan's facial expression is bugging me. Seeing him again after a long time gives back so much emotion to me. I miss him so bad that i almost come running back to him. At the same time my heart is breaking all over and over again.The pain I felt is as painful as it was like just yesterday. But I have realized one thing, that no matter how much i love him he doesnt love me anymore.That he is now happy with somebody else. And I will start here .Im gonna feel all the pain until it pains me no more. I cried to hard that night.My one last cry for him.

I woke feeling groogy the nextday.
Ayokong magdrive kasi baka mabangga lang ako. Magtataxi nalang muna ako papunta sa office.

To my surprise I see Von at the front of my unit. Nakabitin ang kamay niya na para bang kakatok.

"Huh? Von?" bigla akong kinabahan
.He is wearing a three fourth shirt, a black pants and and a pair of vans shoes. Kahit ang simple niya parang model talaga siya.

"Let's go I'll give you a ride" He said while intently looking at me.

Nakatunganga lang ako sa harap niya.Bakit sya nandito? Paano niya nalaman unit number ko?Is this real? Bat parang lakas ng tibok ng puso ko.

"Will you just stand there? Malalate na tayo. You need to eat your breakfast in our way"

Wala akong nagawa at sumunod sa kanya.

Ang pahamik ng byahe namin papuntang office. I was just sitting facing the window. I feel so awkward.

"Magdrive thru nalang tayo sa Jolibee para hindi tayo malate"
Napatingin ako sa kanya at tumango bilang sagot.

We ate on our way. Tapos na akong kumain pero siya hindi pa. Sumusubo lang sya pag nakastop ang traffic lights at tsaka nagmamadaling kumagat sa pagkain.

"Ako na," Sabi ko sabay kuha ng coffee niya na mukhang hindi na gaanong mainit. Lumapit ako sa kanya para alalayan siyang uminom. Amoy na amoy ko ang pabango niya. Ano kayang pabango niya.

"Thanks" Sabi niya.

"Uh, okay"

Dali-dali akong mubaba ng kotse ni Von kasi takot akong may makakita samin.

"Ang tagal mo Von? Akala namin absent ka sanay kasi kaming maaga ka" bungad ni Shienna kay Von.

"Because of Traffic" he answered.

"Oh I see, Sabay tayong maglunch later?"

Tumalikod na ako kasi ayokong marinig ang pinag-uusapan nila.

"Oh ang aga-aga nakabusangot ka?Selos?" Sabay tingin sa banda nila Von at Shienna na nag-uusap parin. Laking gulat ko nalang na sa akin nakatingin si Von ng malalim habang si Shiena naman ay ngiting-ngiting nagsasalita.
Anong tinitingin-tingin niya?

"Asa pa sya"sabay irap ko.

Late akong nakapaglunch break kasi may pinatapos pa si Maam Gomez sakin.

Nung pabalik na ako sa cubicle ko para kumuha ng pera, laking gulat ko na nakaupo si Von sa upuan ko.

"Let's go" sabi niya sabay tayo.

"Diba may lunch date kayo ni Shiena?"
Anong ginagawa mo rito?"

"I waited for you para may kasabay kang maglunch"

"Huh?." Tanging sagot ko sa kanya.

This dast few weeks. Parati akong sinusundo ni Von then we will eat our breakfast along the way. Sa lunch naman sabay din kami. Hinahatid niya rin ako sa school pamay meet-up kami nina Viena and sinisundo for dinner. Ang weird kasi I just let him do that to me.Kaysa naman magdrive ako ang hassle nun for me na tamad magdrive lalo magpark. Isa pa he said na my condo is just 5 minutes away to his new condo kaya okay na din. Parang nakikiride lang ako with libreng foods.

"Nanliligaw ba si Von sayo?" Tanong ni Ian habang naglulunch kami sa cafeteria.

Halos masamid ako sa sinabi niya.
Lahat sila napatingin sa amin at nag-aabang ng sagot ko.

"Huh? Hmm Hindi Ah, ang issue mo naman" sagot ko.

"I dont believe you. Nanliligaw yun sayo.Eh hatid sundo ka eh bumabakod si Von pre"hahaha sabay apir nila ni Klye.

"Von dont do courting" Singgit naman ni Shiena. Sabay irap sa akin.

"Asan pala si Von, absent sya ngayon ah" Si Mae.

"He's in Spain.May inaasikasong importante" ngiting sagot ni Shiena.

"Wow! Bat alam mo?" Mae.

"Ofcourse, we are communicating with each other" sagot ni Shiena sabay taas ng phone niya.

Now realize, wala pala akong number ni Von, hindi rin kami friend sa facebook or instagram.
