Mr. Torpe meets Ms. Mahiyain (Completed)

Chapter 21

Mike.......

     Barado ang pare nyo.  Wala akong naisagot sa sinabi niya.  Totoo naman di ba?  Walang atin.  Noong magkita kami ulit hindi ko siya niligawan.  Even sa mga messages ko sa kanya.  Our conversations are not about courting.  It's jus a friendly conversation between us.  Kaya bakit ko nga ba tinanong sa kanya yun.  I stop talking to her, approaching her and even texting.  So, bakit nga ba?

     "Sorry sa sinabi ko.  Mali lang siguro yung pakiramdam ko.  What I mean is....sorry kasi nawalan ako ng time para kausapin ka".

     Hinihintay ko siyang mag react but she's just listening.  Nakatingin sa binabasa niya. Doon lang nakatutok ang paningin nya.  It is the right time to tell her what I want her to know.  Alam ko gusto rin nyang malaman.  So I continue. 

     "It started when Suzie approached you.  I was bothered at that time.  Baka kasi saktan ka nya. And I don't want that to happen.  So I decided na dumistansiya muna sa'yo.  Kahit labag sa loob ko.  I have to do it".

     Bigla siyang tumingin sa akin and ask me.  "Bakit?  Anong reason?"

     "Kasi..... she's jealous.  Nalaman niya sa tropa na I courted you before then we meet here again and we're getting close.  Para malaman mo ang totoo.  Suzie stalked me for 2 years.  Huminto lang siya last year.  Last sem when she found out about you.  She threatened me to hurt you.  Ayaw ko namang mangyari sa iyo yun.  She also spread that were together before the first sem end.  That's why if you notice na I stop texting you at ganun din ang paglapit sa iyo".  Explaining to her.

     "Why are you here kung bawal kang lumapit sa akin?" Asking me again.

     "Ayaw ko ng i-tolerate yung ginagawa niya sa akin.  Sa sobrang pagbibigay ko sa kanya at pagpapahalaga ko as a friend.  Inabuso niya ang kabaitan ko.  Kaya heto I suffer. Also the friendship that we started nag suffer din.  Ayaw ko ng tumagal pa ito.  That's why I'm here to tell you the truth.  Kasi.... I know kahit hindi mo sabihin.  Naging masama ako sa paningin mo and that's not true.  I know na you will understand me or the opposite of it.  It's up to you".

     After the explanation hindi na ako ulit nagsalita pa.  I'm waiting to her kung anong opinion niya sa mga sinabi ko about my situation. And I'm praying that she would understand me.

     I saw her took a deep breath and exhale then slowly tapping her hands on the book.  Then finally she looks at me.

     "So, that's the reason kaya ka naging aloof sa akin.  Dapat sinabi mo na sa akin in the first place para natulungan kita sa sitwasyon mo.  Kahit hindi naman tayo mag-usap personally pwede naman sa text di ba?  Even DM me.  Okay sa akin yun.  Nagtaka nga ako eh.  Tingin ko tuloy ako ang may nagawang hindi maganda kung bakit mo ako iniiwasan.  Tapos yun nga nalaman ko na may gf ka na nga daw. Nagtaka lang naman ako and a little bit frustrated sa nangyari".  Jayeanne told me.

     "Ganun ba?....sorry talaga. Hindi ko naman akalain na lalala ito eh.  Kinausap ko na rin si Suzie last week.  I asked her out.  To talk to her and to make it clear to her about the situation.  That I see her as my sister only.  Younger sister at hindi lang ako ang makikita niya kung ia-allow niya ang sarili niya na tumingin sa iba may matatagpuan siyang lalaking mamahalin siya katulad ng pagmamahal niya.  Not me".

     I look at Jayeanne and took her book from her hands.  She look at me and I said..."I'm not the man for Suzie.  Kasi here in my heart meron ng special person na umaakopa nito.  Alam ko kilala mo siya.  Kilalang kilala". Inabot ko ang kamay niya at hinawakan.  Inalis niya ito but hindi ko ito binitawan.  "It's you... Jayeanne.  You're special to me.  I know that you're not ready but I can wait.  I just want you to know how I feel matagal na.  I know that your priority in life is to finish your studies the same as mine.  We have our priorities.  So we can understand each other.  I can wait and I'm hoping that you can also wait for me. Don't ever change and I will do the same".  Asking her.

     Nakatitig lang siya sa kamay naming dalawa habang magkahawak.  I'm anxious baka the feeling is not mutual.  Nakakahiya.
Then a few seconds of silence between us.  She replied.  Looking at me at tumango siya.  It means "yes".  Not being girlfriend and boyfriend.  This is about mutual understanding.  Masaya ako.  Soooo very happy.  Gusto kong tumalon pero hindi pwede we are in the library.  She's just smiling kasi para akong hindi maihi sa kinauupuan ko.
