Kabanata 13
BrokenHindi lahat ng gusto ko ay nakukuha ko, maliban na lang kung materyal 'yon. But I'm not materialistic. Tiningnan ko ang nadaanan naming arko that means na nakaalis na kami sa La Purisima.
My grandparents was sad at my sudden decision. May isang linggo pa akong natitira pero pinili kong umuwi na ng Bulacan. Ipinahatid naman ako nila Lola sa driver.
After that confession, hindi ako lumabas ng ilang araw sa mansion para hindi ko siya makita. Nakakahiya ang ginawa kong 'yon. Siguro nga, masyado pa akong bata. Hindi 'yon papatol sa mas bata sa kanya, syempre!
A man of his age is searching for serious long-term relationship. Matured na babae ang nararapat sa kanya at 'yon ang gusto niya. Wala na akong mukhang ihaharap pa sa kanya. I wonder if other's heard my confession at him?Mas nakakahiya 'yon.
Nasabi ko na kay mommy noong isang araw na babalik na ako, hindi naman siya nagulat.
Malamya kong ibinagsak ang katawan ko sa kama. Masakit ang buong katawan ko sa biyahe lalo na ang pwet.
"Eileuthea... gusto mo ba ng pagkain?" alok sa akin ni Manang, umiling ako at malungkot na tumingin sa kanya.
Umiling ako at pumikit. I'm not hungry. I don't understand myself for acting this way. Hindi naman ako ganito. Maybe, I just can't accept the fact that someone had rejected me.
"Good morning, anak! Aalis ka ba ngayon?" bungad sa akin ni Mommy, nakabihis na.
"Good morning, Mom. I don't know po, baka may biglaang plano kami... I'm not sure." paliwanag ko kumuha ng tinapay.
"Okay, aalis na ako. Medyo tanghali na." I gave her a kiss on the cheeks.
So my usual everyday routine is happening again. Wala akong lakas para gumawa ng kung ano-ano. Hindi ko na rin natapos ang kinakain kanina dahil sa kawalan ng gana. I turned on my phone and receive a lot of messages. Some are from my friends and most are from Leiou. Ilang araw ko iyong hindi binuhay
I tried to read his messages.'Why you left at a sudden?'
'Are you mad?'
If I will ignore him continuously, he'll surely think that I am mad!Kailangan kong pag-isipan ito ng mabuti.
I was having my lunch when I heard the doorbell rang. Hindi ako tumayo.
Pumasok si Nortia at nadatnan akong nasa sala. Naiwan sa ere ang kamay ko hawak ang remote.
"What are you doing here?" I asked and continue on finding a good and interesting show.
"Nothing. I'm just bored." she said and sit beside me. I put my plate into the round table in front.
"Tapos ka nang kumain?" tanong niya at itinuro ang aking pinggan na hindi ko pa nababawasan.
"Yeah. Wala akong gana." matamlay kong saad.
"Kung gano'n ay samahan mo na lang akong lumabas." masigla niyang pag-anyaya.
"Tinatamad ako."
"Are you broken?" napakunot ang noo ko. Broken?I'm not! Busted is the right word for that.
"I'm not.... do I look like I have a boyfriend?"
"You're broken!Ganyan na ganyan ang pakiramdam ko noon!Ganyang-ganyang kaya ako." she exclaimed. Umirap ako.
"May isa pa...hindi ako umiiyak. Umiiyak ka kapag broken ka, kaya paano mo nasabi na broken ako?" that was my perspective before about undergoing broken-hearted stage, but it's different now. I just want tease Nortia this time.I saw her pouted. See?Hindi siya nakapag-salita.
