Chapter FIVE
[Saturday]
8:30 na akong nagising, walang kasing pasok. Tumitingin lang ako ng TV sa living room. Biglang lumabas si Kea sa room nya.
“Ashley, when will you go back to States?”–kea-
“I don’t know. Why?”–Ashley-
“Ohh, nothing.”–Kea-
Kea’s POV
7am akong nagising. Nag-online ako, online rin si Nathan.
“Hi Nate!” °
“Hello. How are you there? How’s Ashley?” °
“She’s fine” °
“She isn’t crying anymore?” °
“CRYING? Why will she cry?” °
“She didn’t tell you the reason why she plans to finish her studies there?” °
“No. She didn’t tell us that thing. Why? Is there any problem?” °
“Okay. I’ll tell you. But don’t let her know that I’m the one who tell you this.” °
“Okay. You can count on me.” °
“That girl is heartbroken” °
“HEARTBROKEN? Why?” °
“Her ex-boyfriend played her. Kevin.. Kevin Smith is her ex-boyfriend. She was played by that guy.” °
“I didn’t saw her crying her.” °
“Maybe you didn’t notice. Before she left here, they talked. The guy asked apology, I don’t know the whole story. She went home crying. All day and night she was at her room. While Ashley and Kevin are still in a relationship, Kevin covets on Ashley’s friend.” °
“She’s here to avoid the guy?” °
“Exactly!” °
“Poor Ashley.” °
“I gonna go now. So, take care of my little sister there” °
“Ok. Sure, good bye” °
Pumunta ako sa labas. Nakita ko si Ashley nanonood ng TV. Kung di mo alam background nya, di mo talaga mahahalata na heartbroken sya. Kawawa naman tong batang to. Tss. Kunwari nagtanong ako if kelan balik nya sa States. Di ako nagpahalata na alam ko na ang reason ng pagpunta nya dito.
[Sunday]
After the mass, umuwi na kami sa house…
Later, nagsi datingan sina Sophie, Megan, Daniel, Marvin, at Ken sa bahay. Dito nila naisipang tumambay.
Nagstay sila sa living room at nanood ng TV, dinalhan ko sila nang kanilang makakain.
“San nga pala si Ashley?”–Daniel-
“Nasa room nya. Wag nyo munang isturbohin.”–kea-
“Bakit?”–Daniel-
“Wala lang.”–kea-
Tumingin ako kena Sophie at Megan.
“Sophie, Megan, wala bang shinare si Ashley sa inyu kung bakit napag-isipan nyang dito ituloy ang pag-aaral?” –ako-
“Wala naman. Ikaw Sophie?” –Megan- umupo ako sa sofa.
“Wala rin naman. Walang syang binanggit sakin” –Sophie-
“Eh kasi nag-usap kami ng kapatid nya sa fb kahapon.” –ako-
“Si Nathan?” –Kuya-
“Ou kuya.” –ako-
“Buti naman at naabutan mong online yun. Oh? Bakit ano sabi?” –Kuya-
“Brokenhearted raw eh.” –ako-
“Sino? Si Ashley?” –Marvin-
“Ou. pinaglaruan raw sya ni Kevin.” –ako-
“Sinong Kevin?”–Marvin-
“Ex-boyfriend nya. Same situation kay ……….” tinuro ko si Ken.
“Ako? Bakit ako?” –Ken-
“While sila pa ni Ashley, nanligaw raw yung si Kevin sa kaibigan ni Ashley.” –ako-
“Same situation nga talaga. Magkatulad talaga” –Daniel-
“Shhhh~ wag nyong ipaalam kay Ashley na alam na natin ang reason.” –ako-
“Kung titingnan lang, parang walang problema si Ashley. May tinatago pala sya.” –Sophie-
“Ken, anong feeling pag niloko ka nang taong mahal mo?” –ako-
“Syempre masakit!” –Ken-
“So yan rin ang nararamdaman ni Ashley ngayon.” –ako-
“Why?” paglingon ko, si Ashley. Narinig ba nya pinag-uusapan namin? Or should I say, naiintindihan kaya nya? Naku! Lagot!
“Uy! Ashley. They’re just asking where are you” –ako-
“Ahhh. Okay” –ashley-
“Ashley, want some?” –Marvin- *sabay kuha nung pagkain na nasa center table*
“No thanks.”–ashley- Tapos nag smile sya.
Wala na masyado nangyari sa araw na ito.
Ken’s POV
Heartbroken pala si Ashley. First met ko sa kanya akala ko walang problema, kaya naman pala pumunta dito para malimutan ang ex-bf nya. Same lang situation namin. Ang babaeng mahal na mahal ko, pinaglaruan lang ako. Pinagsabay kami nang matalik kong kaibigan at naging dahilan iyon ng aming matinding away.
