13 - Butterfly Effect
Kaetherine's POV:
"I'm back.... miss mo naman ako agad." Nakangiting saad ko rito. Agad naman itong napalingon sa direksyon ko.
Nailang naman ako sa pagtitig na ginawa nito kaya ibinigay ko na lang ang ice cream na hawak ko at tahimik na bumalik sa pwesto ko kanina.
"Your favorite is ice cream?" Nabigla naman ako sa biglang pagbukas nito ng pag-uusapan at naninibago pang tinignan ito.
Not overreacting, pero eto yata kasi ang kauna-unahang beses na iba ang pag-uusapan namin dahil lagi lang konektado kay Nurse Clara ang mga pag-uusap namin. To think na tungkol pa ito sa akin.
Lalo pa akala ko kasi ay galit na naman ito dahil sa binitawang kong mga kataga pagbalik ko. Tuloy ay 'di na rin ako umaasang mababalik pa ang atmosphere kanina. Nanahimik na kasi ito matapos kong sabihin 'yon.
"A-Ah, opo." Alanganing kong sagot at natahimik na naman kami kaya muli na lang akong nagsalita at nagtanong.
"Paano mo po pala nalaman?" Buong kuryosidad na tanong ko.
Sa pagkakatanda ko kasi wala naman akong nasabi o nakwento rito na kahit na ano tungkol sa mga paborito ko. Hindi naman din kasi ito nagtatanong at mas malabong mangyari 'yon dahil hindi naman ito interesado tungkol sa'kin.
Sa katunayan nga magkasama kami sa penthouse pero hindi naman namin lubos na kilala rin ang isa't isa. At isa pa rin 'yon sa kinaiinisan ko, hindi naman namin lubusang kilala ang isa't isa pero eto ako, nahulog pa rin sa kanya.
"Just guessing? And I think I am guessing it right." Sagot naman nito at nagkibit-balikat pa. Napatango-tango na lang ako.
"Sorry." She said out of nowhere which made me confused.
"Hmm? Para po saan?" Napatigil ako sa pagkain ng ice cream ko't buong pagtataka itong hinarap.
"For hurting you? I really don't know what to say but I really wanted to say sorry." She heaved a sigh before continuing.
"I just wanted to be with Clara, but then, I ended up hurting you as well. We ended up hating each other." She added that I wanted to oppose so badly, but just shrug it off.
Hate? Yeah. I hated you for loving you for no actual nice reasons.
"O-Okay lang naman. In fact, we never liked each other in the first place." I stated for a fact and laugh at my statement as I remember again that very first day.
How her face frowned so hard as I shouted at her and somehow humiliated her. However, I was just overwhelmed by the feeling that she wanted me out because of that stupid registration form that I only neglected to bring.
"Because you were so bitchy back then!" She exclaimed in annoyance which made me laugh.
"Ikaw po kaya 'yon. Antipatika." I rebutted while trying to suppress my smile when the scenarios just pop out inside my head.
As the memories of those moments began to make me feel upset, I soon started shaking my head. Since I remembered how from that just one... only one not intended mistake, everything went wrong.
"Antipatika? Really? Is that what—" I cut her off soon as I realized she is about to burst out and will give me a long sermon.
"Oo! Saka ikaw lang ang nakita kong professor na nagalit nang dahil lang hindi ko nadala ang form ko!" I furiously fought back. Tagal ko rin 'tong kinimkim ah.
With that, she shot me with her death glares. Her cheeks also have turned bright red, implying that she's now furious about what I've just called her.
Tinaasan ako nito ng kilay pero mayamaya lang ay matawa-tawang naiiling na ito. Kinunutan ko tuloy ito ng noo. Aba't may nakakatawa ba sa sinabi ko?
