I went to Andy's house where my friends' birthday will be held. Hindi ko naman inaasahan ang pagdating ni Detective Mon and that's why I excused myself from my friends to talk with someone they don't have any clue who is it.
"Hoy, bawal humarot!" Pahabol ni Jaz.
Umiling na lang ako at nagtungo sa second floor ng bahay ni Andy. Naging seryoso ang mukha ni Detective at hinarap ako. I told Andy kung pwede bang sa loob na lang ng bahay niya mag-usap dahil sabi ni Detective Mon ay delikado sa labas. Mabilis nitong sinilip ang bintana sa kwarto at napangisi bago isara ang kurtina.
"Kamusta kayo ng boyfriend mo?" Sambit nito at hindi nakaligtas ang mapang-asar nitong ngisi.
"Can you just get straight to the point?" Iritado kong sambit.
"Chill. Totoo nga sabi ni Kai, masyado kang masungit." Umiling ito na parang hindi niya pa ito inaasahan.
But when he just literally mentioned Kai's name—my ex, there's something unexplainable that I felt.
"Anong sinasabi mo? Tsaka ano bang gusto mong sabihin? Hindi ko kayo maintindihan ni....Kai," I said whispering the last word.
"Bakit? Ano bang sinabi sayo ni Kai?" Aniya at pinaglaruan ang hawak niyang susi.
"He didn't actually talk to me, it's just it's weird na parang gusto niya akong kausapin. I don't know maybe because of what happened between us before..?"
"Bobo talaga ampota." Bulong nito. "Well, ako na lang ang magsasabi ng dapat sasabihin niya," nawala ang ngisi sa labi nito at naging seryoso. "You should break up with your boyfriend and stay with Kai instead."
Kumunot ang noo ko.
"Pinagkakaisahan niyo ba ako? Here I am thinking that it's about a life and death situation—"
"It is."
Tumango ito.
"Excuse me?"
Tumikhim ito. "I'm saying that maybe you should take Kai's advice seriously. He has reasons."
"And what reason?"
Nagkibit balikat ito at ibinaba na ang susi. Naglakad na ito palapit sa pintuan at nilingon ako.
"Just trust him. Hindi mo pwedeng malaman and he'll probably kill me if I tell you the reason. I suggest, you should hear him out. Break up with your boyfriend, simple as that."
"Siraulo ba kayo?! It's not simple just like what you are thinking!" Medyo napupuno nang sabi ko. I've had enough of this. Bakit ba pati ito ay sinasabing makipaghiwalay ako kay Tim?
"Bakit ba pati ikaw? I love him!"
Kumunot ang noo nito na tila hindi siya sang ayon sa narinig niya. What's wrong with what I just said?
"You love him?" He said as he craned her neck just to see me my reaction. "Really?" And looked into my eyes.
Ito ang pangalawang beses na may nagsabi sa akin niyan. Jaz is the first time and he is the second time. I really love Tim...I mean, I love him but it's different from what I felt from Kai before. My feelings for Kai was powerful that nobody can overpower or change it.
"Maiwan na kita. Gusto ko lang sabihin 'yon sayo. Think about it. Kai and I will be able to protect you easily in this mess if you break up with him."
He said and left me dumbfounded.
Wait, what mess?
Protect me from what?
A buzzing sound came from my phone saying that I'm badly needed in the hospital.
