Chapter TEN

Still Him

Maaga akong nakatulog sa gabing iyon dahil na rin siguro sa medyo madami-daming paper works kanina. Mabuti nalang at natapos ko agad.

Nagising ako sa malakas na tunog ng aking cellphone. I pick it up without looking who it was sa pag-aakalang si Ate Dienn lang iyon. 'Bakit kaya ito napaaga sa pagtawag ngayon ah?'

"Morning ate, ba't ang aga mong nanggising?" I said before hearing on the other line's voice.

"Cath." natigilan ako. I looked my phone and see that it's an unregistered number. It's not Ate Dienn, lalaki ang sumagot sa kabilang linya and I didn't have an idea who it was.

"Who's this please?" I asked.

"You really deleted my number?" the stranger on the other line said.

"Sino ka nga sabi ehh?" Pag-uulit ko sa sinabi.

"This is Ivan. Please don't hung it up. I just want to talked to you." he pleaded. Doon lang ako natauhan at napabalikwas. 'The nerve of his guy. Ang kapal.'

"Oh, it was you. From whom you get my number?" I asked like I didn't have an idea. Napaisip ako. Hindi pala ako nakapagpalit ng bagong numero ahh. Kaya pala.

"Your the one giving it to me. Noon paman. I've been calling you so many times but ngayon lang kita na contact. All I thought you've change your phone number but I still tried." he explained.

"What's the matter of calling up?" I diverted the topic.

"I just want to talk to you. Can we meet?"

"If I don't!" It's not a question. I just want to tease him.

"Please Cath, after you left me without any reason. Now that I saw you. I won't let that happen again!"

"Ano bang kailangan mo sa 'kin Ivan? Tapos na tayo... I mean tapos na ang issue tungkol sa atin. Why are you still chasing me?" deritsahan kong tanong sa kanya. I don't really know what's in the mind of this guy.

"Hindi mo ba naiintindihan Cath? Noon paman akala ko ba alam mo?"

"What do you mean? What are you trying to say?"

"I love you Cath! Yun maliwanag na ba sayo! I don't want to confess my feelings for you through call but right now I failed my promise to myself."

'Tama ba ang narinig ko? He loves me?'

"Cath, are you still there?" he asked after a minute of silence.

"Hmm. Y-yes." nauutal kong sagot. Hindi makapaniwala sa nalaman.

"I'm sorry nabigla kita, but that's the truth. I hope you won't avoid me."

"Oh--ok." tanging nasagot ko na lang. Wala na akong makapa pang ibang salita.

After I hang up the call. I don't understand myself, parang may kakaiba akong naramdaman. I'm happy when he confessed lately. What the hell is this feeling? I thought it's over. I thought hindi ko na sya mahal but why, bakit parang nagbalik lahat ngayon? I hated myself so bad!
