Chances Between Us

"Jane, please stop this. Tama na, halika na,"

I calmly said, she was still holding a small knife na itinututok nya sa pulso nya.

I thought she's over with it, but here she goes again. She caught steven na may kahalikan kaya nya naisip to, dito pa talaga sa parking lot sa building ng unit ni steven.

"He won't come back, he won't.. kaya mas mabuti pa na mawala ako!" i gritted my teeth, showing so much anger, feels like i didn't know her anymore.

Steven was just standing, para bang wala syang pakialam whether she go for it.

"Gagawin mo ba o hindi?"

Automatiko akong napalingon sakanya, how dare he act like this? para syang walang konsensya.

Nalilito naman si hendrix kung san sya lilingon, kung tutuusin damay lang kami dito e.

"Talaga,--" her voice broke, i couldn't stand it anymore kaya lumapit na ako sakanya para agawin ang kutsilyo. She chased it over and over, and one wrong move blood was all over my hand.

"Dan, dan, sorry--"

I rolled my eyes, pakiramdam ko ay hindi naman malalim ang hiwa pero daming dugo ang nasa kamay ko.

"Tara na," akma ko pa syang hihilain nang may nagtali ng panyo sa kamay ko.

"May malapit na clinic dito, tara na.. steven.. bro please, paki-alalayan muna si jane.. alalayan ko muna si dania," sabi nya pa atsaka nya akong tinulungang sumakay sa sasakyan nya.

"Okay ka lang?" what an obvious question. I was feeling the pain and i feel like im losing too much blood. Nakatingin lang ako sakanya, im trying so hard to hide the pain dahil ayokong makitang nag-aalala sila.

"No,"my voice broke, mas binilisan nya ang pagddrive, at agad naman kaming nakarating. It was a large cut but its not deep, so they don't need to stitch it. Jane was still crying outside while im packing up my things.

"You sure okay ka na? hatid ko nalang kayo, san ba unit mo?" he offered, i smiled but then i shooked my head.

Iniisip ko na kung tatanggapin ko ang offer nya e makakasama pa namin si steven na nasa likuran nya, i want jane to completely stop it so i should not let them have any interactions anymore.

"Thank you so much hendrix, hindi ko alam kung paano kita pasasalamatan sobrang dami mo nang naitulong kay jane at sakin," he then slightly nodded.

Lumingon pa sya bago tuluyang umalis, i waited in the lobby. Tinawagan ko na ang kuya ni jane kaya may susundo na sakanya, at dahil isang sakay lang naman ako ay umuwi na ako mag-isa.

Kinabukasan, inulan ako ng sobrang daming tanong pero sinabi ko nalang na aksidente akong nahiwa.

May 4 hours vacant ako, pero wala ang mga blockmates ko dahil may kanya kanya rin silang lakad.And there's one choice left for and that is going to his department, sigurado akong tapos na ang klase nya.

"KEVIN!"

Sigaw ko, lumingon sya sakin ng nakanguso. Hindi ko alam kung matatawa ba ako o magagalit, sobrang busy kasi namin nitong nakaraan kaya di kami nagkikita.
