You'll Be Safe Here

21-Trust me

Lala's PoV

"Zach?"

Tawag ko sa kanya kasi kahit andito na kami sa rooftop ehh ramdam ko pa rin yung init ng ulo niya habang hawak hawak ang kamay ko.

Tumingin naman siya saken at mukhang narealize niyang kanina niya pa hawak ang kamay ko

"S-sorry" lumuwag naman ang hawak niya dito pero bago pa niya tuluyang mabitawan ang kamay ko ako na ang humawak sa kamay niya

"Just hold my hand if you need to"

Hindi pa rin siya umiimik

"Zach? If you don't mind me asking? Sino si Tres? How'd you know him? Is he really your best friend?"

He looked at me with hesitations as if he's not sure if he'll tell me.

"Sige hindi ko na muna aalamin Zach, but can you please calm down? Kinakabahan na ko sayo ehh. I never saw you that angry"

"Sorry Lala"

"Stop saying sorry Zach. If he's part of your past that you don't want to be brought up then we won't talk about him, walang kaso saken yun Zach"

He sighed.

"You'll eventually know everything so might as well tell you"

"I'm listening..."

"He's my bestfriend before"

"So totoo ang sinasabi niya kanina?"

"But he became my worst nightmare"

"Why?"

"Inahas niya girlfriend ko Lala"

Hala nagkagirlfriend na si Zach?!

"Siya ba yung Jing na binanggit kanina?"

"Oo"

"What exactly happened?"

I can see bitterness in his smile

"Dalawang taon nila akong ginago Lala. In thr 3 years na naging kami ni Jing, dalawang taon don sila din ni Tres"

"What?!"

"Funny how I wasn't able to see that. Kaya ayun, when Jing decided to stop the things going on between us, bumagsak lahat ng mundo ko."

"Minahal mo talaga siya ano?"

"Sobra Lala"

"Alam mo ba nasan na siya ngayon?"

Umiling naman siya.

"I already cut ties with her the moment I knew about everything that they did"

"Hindi man lang siya nagpaliwanag? O yung Tres?"

"No. Walang naging paliwanag. In fact after the breakup we had those two are always showing me how happy they are of each other, they even kiss in front of me"

"What the heck?!"

Tangina din pala talaga yung Tres na yon hanep!! Tapos yung Jing medyo makati!! Ayy yung dugo ko kumukulo!!!

"Those were two of the reasons why I wanted to die before"

"S-so nagbalak ka talaga tumalon sa building noon?!"

"Hindi nagbalak. Tumalon na ko"

"Ha?!"

"Don't be too shocked Lala"

"Sira ka ba?! Pano ako hindi masshock ehh nabuhay ka pa sa pagtalon mo sa building?!"

"Sana nga namatay na lang ako that moment"

"Adik!" Sabi ko sabay hampas ko sa kanya

"Aray Lala!"

"Kung namatay ka non edi hindi kita nakilala!"

Ngumiti naman siya sa sinabi ko. Potek na to 😑

"I'm scared Lala..."

"Of what?"

"Baka ikaw naman ang makuha ni Tres, Lala."

Hala ka.

"As if naman pag-iinteresan ako nung unggoy na yon"

"Lala, I know him enough that I know he wants you"

"Agad?!"

"Oo Lala"

"Zach..."

"Lala..."

"You have to trust me on this one. Hindi ko alam ang mangyayare in the future pero maipapangako ko sayo, kahit anong mangyare, ikaw ang gusto ko at hindi yung Tres na yon"
