WSD [38] - Not a Chance

Chapter 38 – Not a Chance

"Why would you agree to something you know I'm against with?" Ivy asked Jhonel without looking at the latter. She was looking at the dim sky. Everyone else was in their own respective rooms since it's nap time. But there they were, on the garden, talking about the issue a while ago.

Jhonel sighed, "You know I don't decide for my life."

"Oh, yeah," she said sarcastically. "We're both stucked in our parents' selfish decisions. I get it."

"I don't want this thing to be a hindrance to our friendship—"

"Friendship?" she laughed humorlessly. "Since that day I caught you . . ." she trailed off. "Well since that happen, I didn't consider you as my friend anymore."

Once again, he sighed. "Can't we just forget about that thing and move on?"

"Move on?" she snapped. "How could you tell me that as if it's not a hard thing? Truth be told? I still loathe you to death. I still despise you for what you did to me. I still can't forgive you, Jhonel."

They went silent for what felt like eternity. Jhonel was taken aback by what Ivy have said. He didn't know kissing someone behind her back would be a big mistake. That kiss wasn't even by his will. It was the girl's fault but Ivy wouldn't listen. There was no point in convincing her since she's all decided not to hear his side.

Ivy felt worn out, she decided to shrug everything off, she just want to sleep all her problems away.

She stood as she glanced one last time at Jhonel, "Stop seeing me, please. Impossible, but at least try to."

Micah's POV

Sunday na. Gusto pa sana namin mag-try ng ibang water activities pero konti nalang time namin. Besides, kelangan namin magpahinga kaya gagamitin namin tong araw na ito to take a rest and enjoy ourselves as well.

"Sabog ka ata ngayon, Ivy?" sabi ni Kate.

Nasa garden kami ulit ngayon. Masaya kasi mag-breakfast dito.

Tumingin kami kay Ivy. Ang sabog niya nga. Mukang hindi ata siya nakatulog ng maayos kagabi.

"Ok ka lang ba?" tanong ni kuya Tyrone.

Nagnod si Ivy, "Ok na ok."

"Wag kame, Ivy. Iba nalang," sabi ni El John.

"Oo nga, lokohin mo na lelang mo, wag lang kame." Panda

"Samin ka pa ba magtatago ng sikreto?" Kcron

"Wag ganon." Rence

"Ang ingay niyo yata ngayon Smoking Niggas?" Fatima

"Anong gusto mo tayo lang maingay?" Nec

Nanahimik kami, or more like, sila, nang magbuntong hininga si Ivy. Tumingin kaming lahat sakanya, hoping na may sasabihin pa siya pero nag-space out lang naman siya.

After mag-breakfast, nagkanya-kanya kami ng ligo. Nagsimba muna kami. Kahit ganto kami malakas naman anf pananampalataya namin. At masaya talagang kasama magsimba yung mga taong tinuturing mo nang pamilya. Napag-planuhan namin na magmu-movie marathon kami pagkauwi. Nakapag-relax na kami, nakapag-enjoy pa. Pati pagod ang isip at katawan namin ngayon kasi ang daming nangyari kahapon. Mula umaga hanggang gabi, sunod-sunod.

Nung lunch time, hindi kami nag-stop manood. Habang Nakain, nanonood. Multi tasking diba. Nag-take din kami ng mga selfies as remembrance. This day will surely be an unforgettable one.

Nag-four o'clock na. Kelangan na namin bumyahe kasi mahabang byahe to. Hindi naman pwedeng mag-stay pa kami dito. May pasok kaya noh.

Nagpaalam kami sa mom ni Ivy. Nag nod lang siya and told us na mag-ingat daw kami. Napansin kong kinabahan si kuya Tyrone kanina. Ikaw ba naman hindi payagan ng magulang manligaw sa anak. Ang dating tuloy, forbidden love.
