Love @ First Fight

Chapter Twenty Nine

Nadine's Pov

Five o'clock ng magising ako. Mas maaga ng isang oras kumpara sa nakasanayan kong six am. Sa katunayan late na akong nakatulog kagabi pero ewan ko ba bakit ang aga kong nagising ngayon.

Tumayo na ako at tinupi pinag higaan ko, pagkatapos ay dumiretyo ako sa banyo para mag hilamos at mag toothbrush. Bago ako magsimulang magluto ng almusal ay naglinis muna ako dahil maaga pa naman.

Alas siyete ng matapos akong magluto ng almusal. Medyo late nga si Matt dahil laging before seven kung dumating siya. Siguro on the way na siya kaya magpapakulo na ako ng tubig. Napatingin ako sa couple mug na binili niya kahapon at excited na rin akong gamitin ito.

Lumipas ang alas siyete y medya ay wala parin siya. Gusto ko sana siyang tawagan kaso wala akong pantawag kaya naman nag text nalang ako sa kanya. Lumipas pa ang ilang minuto ay hindi siya nag re-reply, imposible naman wala siyang load kaya naman hindi ko maiwasan mag alala.

Puno ng pangamba ang dibdib ko sa kung ano anong hindi magagandang naiisip. Hindi ako nakatiis at lumabas ako ng bahay at pumunta ng tindahan para magpa load. Pagkapasok na pagkapasok ng load ko ay agad kong tinawagan si Matt. Mahabang ring ang narinig ko hanggang sa sumagot na ito. Lumuwang naman ang pakiramdam ko.

"Hello babe?" sagot niya

"Hello bakit hindi ka nag rereply? Hindi kaba pupunta dito?" Tanong ko sa kanya

"On the way na ako babe, napasarap lang ang tulog ko haha" sagot nito

"Pinag alala mo'ko akala ko na aksidente kana sa daan. Sige na wait nalang kita dito sa bahay mag ingat ka nalang sa pag drive"

"Okay babe I love you"

"I love you too" sagot ko sa kanya bago ko ini end ang tawag.

Tuluyan nawala sa isip ko ang pag aalala. Muli kong pinainit ang tubig na lumamig na at inayos na ang mesa.

Matt's Pov

I heard my alarm clock ring and I slowly open my eyes letting them to adjust to the bright light that was shinning through the window. I lie for a while in my bed and reached the clock to shut it off.  I rubbed my eyes and sat down before I sluggishly walk to the bathroom. After having a shower and do my morning routine inside the bathroom, I grabbed a new towel and wrapped it around my waist.

I walked towards my wardrobe and stares at my clothes thinking of what to wear. I have so many things to wear pero wala akong mapili. I pulled out my boxers from my drawer and finally come out with my plain white t-shirt, ripped jeans and my white sneakers to wear.

When I was walking down I saw Blake sat on the couch having his coffee while watching the latest news. Hindi ko nalang siya pinansin at tumuloy sa paglalakad.

"And where do you think your going?" My Mom asked as she stood right before me blocking my way out.

I sigh and look at my Mom

"I'm going to see my girlfriend" I answered and saw the look of disapproval on her face

"No, you're not going to meet that bitch"

"Mom! She has a name and her name is Nadine"

"I don't care! You're not going anywhere! You stay here!"

"No I am going to see her and you cant stop me Mom!"

"How dare you to talk to me that way!" She whipped her right hand toward my face to slap.

I closed my eyes and let out a deep breath.

"Mom, I'm not a little boy anymore"

"I know but you don't seem to know your status at all"

"Of course I know! Nandiyan naman ang paborito niyong anak at sa kanya niyo nalang gawin ang gusto niyo,  hindi ba pwede pabayaan niyo nalang ako sa desisyon ko?"

"Shut up! Stop spouting nonsense! Isa kang Roxas! How dare you say such thing to me!"

"Why don't you let me decide for myself?!  Let me choose my own path, let me decide things on my own!"

"How dare you raise your voice to me!"

"I haven't raised my voice" I said at my normal volume "I'd be happy to show you what a raised voice sounds like though, if you don't stop shouting at me"

My face stung when my Mom hit my cheek again.

"I can't believe this. Dahil sa babaeng yon nawalan kana ng galang!"

"I love her Mom"

"What do you know about love? You're only twenty years old! You're surrounded by girls with  great values all day pero nagpapakabaliw ka sa hampaslupang yon!"

"Do you know what it's like to never to be loved? Not even by your own mother?" My voice cracked with pain "sabagay si Blake lang naman ang anak mo" my tears blur my vision

Hindi ko na hinintay magsalita si Mommy and I walked to my car like nothing happened. I put my hand in my pocket for the keys, I pulled my hand out and I as pressed my key fob and get into my car. I start the engine and start driving.

I pulled my car off to side of the road and lean back in my car seat. I was staring into space and then my phone rang. The display said it was 'My Babe' i took a deep breath and answered.
