Bond of Catastrophe

Kabanata 6

Confirmed

Rest keep on telling me that love helps people to navigate the core of living. It teaches us many things to overcome the power of pains. It teaches us to forgive, to forget.

Siguro nga may mga minamalas pagdating sa pag-ibig. They lose the chances of winning... But Rest also taught me that love isn't a race.

It is not who will win, be on top or who will get the first place. It is not about the sacrifices a man can give, and the things he could offer. It is not about how frequent you let someone know how much you love a particular person. And it is not all about choosing, and be one of the choices.

Love is incontestably made for a pure love.

Hindi porque wala kang sinakripisyo ay hindi na pagmamahal ng tawag doon. Hindi porque pinili ka ay mahal ka na. Hindi porque sinasabi niya na mahal ka niya ay totoo na ang mga salitang binibitawan niya. The world are full of lies and the only thing that shows what's the real score inside is the human feelings.

Love.

Why people are making this thing a petty one? Napakalaking bagay ng pag-ibig para sa akin. And in my case, I'm sure I'm not yet ready to experience some things such this one.

I watched August closely as he take a step on the Margarito Hall's stage. He is not even wearing a smile and confidently stood there like a king, treating us as his servant. If he is, I am willing to be...

Iwinaksi ko ang nasa isipan at bahagyang natulala. This world for me is too big. While his are too far away to reach. Ang pagitan namin ngayon ay nagsusumigaw na ng malaking pagkakaiba namin.

Napahalukipkip ako at binigyang pansin na lamang ang mga kaklaseng tumahimik at naghagikhikan sa pag-akyat niya sa stage.

Everyone are clapping their hands and giving August a warm smile, but he didn't respone. Instead, he let his perilous and menacing look hook me. He looks dashing infront, and even when the Hall are crowded with students on different level of years, he didn't have such tense.

Ang mga mata niya ay nanunuri at tahimik na nagmamasid sa amin.

Kabadong mahagip ng titig niya ay iniwas kong muli ang aking tingin. I probed the overall look of the Hall and when I found that there are nothing looks interesting, I peeled my stare and gently turn it back to August.

Kumalabog ng husto ang puso ko nang nadaanan ako ng tingin niya. He's still roaming his eyes that made me feel constipated. Parangmay kung anong namumulipit sa aking tiyan at parang may mga pulis na naghahalughog dito. Ang hininga ko ay mas bumigat at buti na lamang at hindi ito huminto nang magtama ang tingin naming dalawa.

"Good morning fellow students," his low, baritone voice echoed around the venue. It's manly that can cause my breathings to hitch.
He keep his head held high and watch us intenly with his captivating deep set of resenting eyes. His greek nose are almost like mine which is narrow. His thin lips, sometimes curving into an insulting smirk are now formed into a grim line. The creasing of his forehead etched the story of his parlous way of living. His appearance screams enigma and I guess there is no way in hell I would know his untold story.

"So as the faculty members are busy planning for the upcoming foundation day, I've given a task to take in charge of running the election of MTD officers since I'm the former president of the said organization," he licked his lower lip and put his left hand inside his pockets while the other one is busy holding the microphone.

I shifted my seat and watch him more.

"Bakit kasi ang guwapo ni August?" Ngumuso si Pia sa tabi ko at kinikilig pang tinitigan ang lalaking nasa unahan.
