“Teka.” I said.
“Teka sandali Zach.”
Pero parang walang naririnig si Zach.
Patuloy padin siya sa paghatak sakin palabas ng GYM.
Nilingon ko sa likod ko si Fourth – he’s still standing there. Hindi gumagalaw.
Seriously, what’s wrong with that guy. He’s my boyfriend di ba.
Nang makalabas na kami sa GYM.
“Zach.” I firmly said. Tumigil naman siya sa paghatak sakin.
“Dadalin kita sa clinic---” He said without looking at me.
“Ayoko. Kaya ko na ang sarili ko." Sabay hatak sa kamay ko.
“Kaya mo ang sarili mo??” He asked sarcastically.
“Oo. Kaya ko---”
“Bahala ka.” He hissed. “Ni hindi mo nga maingatan yun sarili mo...”Sabay kuha ulit sa kamay ko.
This time mas mahigpit na yung hawak niya.
Hinatak niya ako papuntang clinic.
And It feels useless na magpumiglas pa – nakakapagod lang.

Nang makarating na kami sa clinic...
“Her nose is bleeding.” Sabi niya sa nurse.
Agad naman akong inasikaso nung nurse.
Tss. Ano ba, parang ganito lang kailangan pang pumunta sa clinic?
The nurse asked me to lean forward.
She pinch my nose slightly.
Then after a while nagpatong siya ng cold compress sa may ilong ko and asked me to hold it for some minutes.
Pinayagan na kong lumabas ng clinic room.
Paglabas ko, nasa may waiting area si Zach.
“You feel better?” He asked.
I simply nodded. Tss wala na ako sa mood para makipagusap dito. Tch.
Pinaupo niya ako sa tabi niya since wala ng ibang uupuan.
“I know you’re still mad at me... After what happened yesterday.” He stated.
Pero hindi parin ako kumibo. I just listen.
“Masyado akong naging reckless sa mga salitang sinabi ko. That was really irrational and stupid.”
“Sorry for being stupid...” He apologized.
Of course – I’m stun.
Yesterday, galit na galit siya. Then...
Today, he seems to be in too much agony.
“I know nothing about you and yet I judged you.” He sighed.
“You were right about me taking sides . I was biased.”
“Shut up.” I hissed.
“Huh?”
“Saying you’re stupid is enough.” I muttered. “At least you know.”
