Chapter 19

Hindi ko alam kung paano ko natagalan ang ganoong tagpo sa library. Mabuti na lang at mabilis na nagdaan at oras at alas diez na, papasok na kami sa una naming subject... na magkasama.

Pagkatapos nun, hindi ko na siya nakausap pa. Ganoon din sa mga nagdaang araw hanggang sa nagweekend na.

Josh:

Saan ka pupunta?

Me:

May dinner kami ng parents ko.

Wala naman akong choice kung hindi sumunod kila Mommy, besides, sabi naman ni Mommy na panghuli na ito hindi ba? Baka sasabihin sa amin na off na kung ano man ang binabalak nila sa min na ipagkakasundo. Baka narealize nila na hindi talaga ito magwo-work sa amin,

As usual, kasama pa rin si Mommy at Daddy. I looked at Mommy who is clinging unto Dad's arm. Walang reklamo doon si Daddy. Tss, plastic. Nasa labas kasi kami, maraming makakakita just in case na makita silang hindi sweet.

Nauna silang maglakad habang ako at nasa likod nila. I am wearing a simple off shoulder knee length blue dress. Nakabun din ang buhok ko. I put on some light make ups. Ayoko magpagara lalo na at makakasama ko na naman siya... bear with it yna, ilang oras lang naman. this will be the last.

This time, sila ang nauna sa Savour's. I kissed her Mom's cheeks and I acknowledged his father. Nginitian ko lang siya. After I take my seat, I simply glanced at my phone and saw Josh's message.

Josh:

Alright. Ingat.

I sighed and then I locked my phone and put it on my bag. Mabilis kong inangat ang tingin ko at nagulat ako nang makita si Kian na mariing nakatingin sa akin. Agad akong nag-iwas ako ng tingin. My face heated too. Damn, what are you doing Yna?!

I was just silently eating my food when Mom started the conversation. 

"Let's call off our plans for the two..." she said. Though she already said to me that this will be the last, I am still shocked. I looked at my Mom and she is smiling at me. My lips parted. 

"I think I forced my daughter too much. I want her to live freely. I want her to be happy." My heart broke after hearing that. I never thought that Mommy would think of me that much! Buong akala ko puro siya business at pag-stalk lang kay Daddy ang iniisip. Most of the time she doesn't care for me. She never thinks of my feelings. She's always busy with Daddy.

"We understand that, mare. It's okay. Nakausap ko na rin ang anak namin patungkol diyan and he says that the decision is all yours." Kian's mother said. 

Nangunot ang noo ko sa sinabi. Bahagya ring nagulat. Akala ko... Buong akala ko siya ang unang aayaw at aayaw dito, natatakot nga ako sa magiging reaksiyon niya eh pero... hindi ko akalain na hahayaan niyang ang desisyon ay mapunta sa amin. Kilala ko si Kian, hindi siya ganito. Kapag ayaw niya ang isang bagay o isang tao siya mismo ang gagawa ng paraan para lumayo rito pero... bakit?
