Unconditional Love ;))

Chapter 18

Thea's POV

* I've been crying for so long. Nakakahiya kay Drew. Di ko na mapigilan. Sa maiksing panahong

yun parang naging masyado akong attached kay Lee. He was my shoulders to cry on when Migs

dumped me. Alam kong iniisip nya kung sino si Drew. If I could only have the courage to tell him

that Drew just arrived. Basa sya ng ulan kaya sya nagpupunas. Nahihiya ako sa pwedeng iniisip

nya. Im sorry Lee. Im so sorry.

Drew: Princess, you love him noh? (He was sitting beside me while im lying my head on his shoulders)

Thea: Yes.

Drew: eh ano pang problema. Sana hinabol mo kanina.

Thea: i cant. I dont know what to say. I dont know how to ask him of what I saw. Natatakot ako

masaktan pa sa sasabihin nya.

Drew: have you talked to him about what you saw las night? Did you gave him the benefit of he

doubt to explain his side? (Umiling lang ako this time) eh yun naman pala diba. Mag reach out ka

naman diba. Di porket nakita mo yun eh wala ka ng pakikinggan. Malay mo napatid lang sya ang

sumalo ung lips nung babae. (Sabay tawa sya. Natawa na din ako. He's still the same. He never

fails to cheer me up when im in Blue. The Same Brentty I used to know.) oh tama na yan Princess.

Kain muna tayo. Nagugutom na ko eh.

Thea: sa tingin mo kakausapin nya pa ko?

Drew: oo naman. Kung talagang mahal ka nya.

*Tumayo kme at kumain. He handed me the notes and went home. As soon as Drew left I got my

phone and texted Lee. I waited for a reply. Wala.

* 10 minutes...

* 30 minutes....

* 1 hr....

* wala pa din syang text. I tried calling him. Aw patay ang phone nya. I tried and tried and tried.

Wala talaga. Nakatulog na ko kakaantay.

The next day.

I went to school early. I know Lee have practice every morning. Kahit nahihiya ako pumunta ko sa

gym. ALONE! Ang layo pa lang naririnig ko na ung tunog ng rubber shoes. Intense practice huh.

Nakita ko agad si Mark. Tinapik nya si Wax. Si wax naman lumapit.

Wax: kamusta?

Thea: si Lee? Nakita mo ba?

Wax: baki di pa ba kayo nakakapag usap? (Pawis na pawis sya at hinihingal pa)

Thea: hindi pa. (Napayuko na lang ako.) my fault Wax. Pinagtabuyan ko sya. Galit ako eh. I dont

know what to say. I dont know how to react.

Wax: (hinawakan nya ung ulo ko at ginulo ang buhok ko) parehas lang kayo ng sinabi sakin.

Maybe you really love each other that much at pati mga sinasabi nyo na eh pareho. I guess human

brain really links together.

Thea: i guess. (Sabay smile ng konti) where is he?

Wax: wala dito. He wasn't answering his phone. Pero kahapon ang alam ko hnahanap ka nya eh.
