Chapter 12

It will always be wrong to assume everything. Lalo na kung mali-mali naman ito. It may lead you to a wrong decision or worst, pag-sisihan mo ito sa huli.

"I never like her as a woman and I'll never will. I treated her like a sister and she's my friend's girl."

Hindi ako nakapagsalita dahil hindi ko alam kung ano ba ang dapat na sabihin ko. Ito ang ugali ko, ang mag-assume na mag-assume. At minsan lang ako maging tama but with Apollo? I'm always bad luck. I always accused him with doubt, I guess I'd never trust him. How selfish am I, right?

I sighed. "I'm sorry."

Tipid na ngumiti siya. "It's okay."

Yumuko ako. "First was Anitha and now," lumunok ako. "...it's Severene."

Gosh, I'm a horrible person.

"It's not big deal." He looked at me with his dark eyes. "Let just eat." malambing niyang saad.

I sighed again and nodded. "Alright,"

He smiled. "So, what do you want to eat?"

I looked at him. "I was sorry but I'll never forgive you for ruining my diet."

He laughed hard.

Kinain namin ang lahat ng inorder niya. Syempre, dahil una, sayang naman at pangalawa, pareho kaming gutom. Saakin ay dahil sa pagod kakahanap ng damit na isusuot at hindi ko lang alam kung ano ang dahilan ng pagka-gutom niya.

"Bakit kasi ang dami mong inorder?" Tanong ko habang naglalakad na kami palabas sa restaurant. Kanina pa nagpaalam sina Severene at Thelo kaya hindi na namin sila nakita pagkalabas namin.

"I just want to order." he opened the car's door for me and I thanked him.

Umikot siya at pumasok na din. I put my seatbelt on and he also put his. When he's done, he looked at his watch then looked at me. 

"Iuuwi na ba kita?"

I chuckled because of his tone. Parang ayaw niya akong iuwi sa condo ko.

"Bakit? Ayaw mo pa?"

Natawa din siya sa naging tanong ko. "Nagdadalawang-isip ako."

Natawa ako. I looked at my phone. 

"It's still early. May pasok ka ba bukas?" tanong ko habang ibinabalik ang tingin ko sakaniya.

"I have but it's afternoon."

I nodded. "Alright. Saan na tayo?"

"Wala kang pasok bukas?

"Meron."

He start he's car's engine. "Then, we need to get you home."

I shook my head. "It's alright, maaga pa naman."

"But-"

"Where to?" I stopped him. He sighed in defeat habang napangisi naman ako. I don't want to miss a chance just to be with him.

"Where do you wanna go?" He said with a defeated tone. My smirk widen.

"Ice cream parlor."

Naghanap kami ng ice cream parlor, ang iba ay sarado na dahil gabi na nga pero swerteng nakakita kami ng 24 hours open na ice cream parlor. Nagtungo agad kami doon.

Kagaya kanina ay nag-order ng sandamakmak si Apollo. Hindi ko na pinigilan dahil naglalaway na ako pakakita ko pa lang. Minsan lang akong kumain ng marami kaya i-todo na 'to.
