I Fall, He Fall

Chapter 17

++++++

May mga bagay na ang hirap pigilan. Hindi lang puso kundi pati ang sitwasyon.

"Stop seeing him Niece," that is what he said when we entered their house. Nangunot iyong noo ko sa kalituhan. I do not understand them. Why are they acted like that? Akala ko ba magkaibigan sila? What is wrong? I am a bit guilty dahil dinala ko si Kiro. I should have not brought him here. Lumala tuloy ang away nila.

I pouted my lips.

"I cannot promise Calix. There is a lot of instances that may we see each other again. If you know what I mean. Both my parents are in showbiz and Kiro is in showbiz too."

He clenched his jaw in annoyance.

"Still. Ignore him or don't talk to him anymore."

My jaw dropped. Dapat bang kasali ako sa away nila? Hindi ko pweding gawin iyon lalo pa at close sina Mommy at Daddy sa parents ni Kiro. Baka ano pa ang sabihin ng mga ito kung hindi ko man papansinin ang anak nila. That would be so rude!

"Ano ba ang problema niyong dalawa? At anong ibig niyang sabihin na you betrayed him? Is that true Calix? May kinuha ka ba sa kanyang bagay o ano at tinago mo?" I asked curiously. I do not want to be so nosy or what, I just want to know the truth if he allows me.

He sighed so deeply as if he was really bothered or what. I did not know their problem pero tama bang sundin ko ang gusto niyang iwasan ko si Kiro? Labas na ako doon! At saka isa pa, I have a crush on Kiro. Paghanga lang naman bilang isang fan niya. So, maybe I cannot do what he just said.

"Yes."

"Yes? You betrayed your bestfriend?" hindi makapaniwalang saad ko. Hindi ko alam na Calix can do that thing to his freaking bestfriend! Kaibigan niya iyon for goodness sake!

"Yes."

I dramatically sighed. Lumapit ako sa kanya. I hugged him at the back. I cannot judge him like that, I know he has his reason.

"You better have a good reason Calix. He is your bestfreind. Alam kong wala akong karapatan na sabihin ito sa iyo pero kung ano man ang kinuha mo sa kanya. Bring it back to him."

He faced me. There is this strong feeling on his face that I cannot figure out. Sobrang bigat ba ng bagay na iyon para mahirapan siya nang ganito? Pakiramdam ko ay sobrang mali ng sinabi ko.

"I'm sorry," I muttered when realization hits me.

"I will fight for you no matter what," he said, makes me so confused and bothered. He kissed my lips so I kissed him back too.

Pag-uwi sa bahay ay hindi mawala sa isipan ko ang sinabi niya.

I will fight for you no matter what.

Oh no Niece, you are thinking too much! Walang ibig sabihin iyon! Gusto kalang no'n pakiligin kaya niya sinabi iyon sa'yo! You crazy woman!

The next day went well in school at sa mga sumunod pa na araw. Konting araw nalang talaga at gagraduate na ako. I am so excited! Calix and I getting stronger and stronger. Kahit walang label ay masaya kaming dalawa. Hindi ko na nakita pa si Kiro sa mga araw na iyon. Maybe, he is busy.

I immediately went out to school because Mommy wants to talk to me. Hindi ko alam kung tungkol saan o ano pero pinatawag niya kami ni Klint. Hinintay ko ang kapatid kong kalalabas lang ng school at sabay kaming umuwi ng bahay.

Binungad kami ng mga maleta at gamit namin sa sala. Gulat na gulat kami ni Klint. What is the meaning of this?

"Mom, Dad?"
