“ At kung sa pag gising ikaw parin... Ang nasa isip, hindi maitanggi.” - Patawad by Moira

Pagalit kong kinuha ang cellphone ko sa aking bulsa. Kanina pa ito tumutunog kayat kahit ayoko ay sasagutin ko na.

I accepted the call without even knowing who it was. May malakas akong tawa na narinig  at may salita ng salita.

I suddenly stiffened when I heard someone sniff. Humihikbi ito pero walang sinasabi. I checked my phone to know who is this and I was stunned when I saw his name..... Yohan.

“ Ang bilis naman masyado. Bakit ganon Alonzo Hontivero? Why I it so sudden? I was planning to accept your offer but I didn't know that my heart will break today.”

What's he saying? Sya pa talaga ang may ganang mag rant ngayon?

“ Wala kang karapatan na sabihin sakin yan Yohan. Saka boyfriend mo na si Paul diba? Ano tingin mo samin fishball? Piso dalawa?”

“ Gago ka Hontivero!” Humihikbing aniya.“ Di ko jowa si Paul kingina ka! Pero favorite ko yung fishball hehe.”

His words struck my head as I realized what he just said.

Di ko jowa si Paul kingina ka!

Di ko jowa si Paul kingina ka!

Di ko jowa si Paul kingina ka!

Did I just fucking misunderstood everything? Then why the hell Paul gave him flowers?

“ Sorry ha? Alam ko namang wala akong karapatan eh. Masyado lang kasing masakit!” He burst out and I can feel his pain as I hear him cry.“ Pero Ang galing mo ha! Napaiyak mo kami ni Paul. You just fucking hit two birds with one stone.”

I hit two birds with one sto--- Wait! I heard before that Paul likes Yna a lot.  Naipikit ko nalang ang mata ko nang mag sink in lahat sakin.

“ Nasan ka? Pupuntahan kita ngayon.” Tumayo ako at kaagad na kinuha ang aking susi ng kotse.

“ Fuck baby where the hell are you!” Hinampas ko ang manibela pero wala na akong marinig bukod sa mga pagmumura nya at pagiyak nya.

Naputol ang linya at sa sobrang bwisit ko ay naibato ko ang cellphone ko sa kung saan. Where the hell am I supposed to find you?!

-----

“ Tangina!” nabulabog ang lahat sa malakas kong pagmumura.

I just woke up right now and checked my phone and I freaking found out that I called him last night. Did I drank to much alcohol?!

Nakaranig ako ng tawanan sa ibaba kayat kaagad akong naligo at nag ayos bago bumaba. I saw them at the dining with Tito Arthur and all of them are laughing while watching something.

“ Hey nandyan na ang dramatista!” With just that I already know that they took a video last night.

“ Shit! Sinong nagvideo?!” Sigaw ko at hindi alintana ang tatay ni Aries.

“ I'm sorry Yohan I just find it adorable.” Ani Tito Arthur habang tumatawa.

“ Tito! Burahin mo yan!” Bago pa ako makalapit sa kanya ay tumayo na sya at patakbong lumabas ng bahay.“ Tito!!!”

Hindi ko muna popoblemahin yung video dahil may mas malaki pa akong problema. The fact that I called him is enough reason to not show my face to him. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to be absent.

Nagdrive na kami patungo sa school at di pa man ako nakakapasok ng premises ay nakita ko na si Paul na kausap si Yna. They hugged each other and gave each other a peck.

What the fuck is happening? Pumasok ako ng room at nagtungo sa aking upuan. My friends started to circle around as we watch Little Mix.

Pumasok si Paul na may malaking ngiti sa labi. Kasunod nya ay sina Yna at Alonzo na magkahawak ang kamay.

Nagtungo ang dalawa unahan na syang kumuha ng atensyon ng lahat.

“ It's a prank!” They said with glee. Nagkomento ang lahat kayat nag explain naman ang dalawa.

“ Patunayan nyong prank nga!” Sambit ni Emanda.

“ My real boyfriend is actually Paul.” Yna said and go straight to where Paul is.

“ How about you Alonzo?” Rayce asked that made everyone look at him except for me.

“ Hahayaan ko ba naman si Yohan na umiyak?” Nagtilian ang mga kaibigan ko at pinaghahampas pa ako.

I already did you bastard!

Natapos ang eksena nayon at kaagad na kaming bumalik sa ayos namin except for one man. Alonzo sat beside me after he pleaded to my friend to change seats.

I can't focus on the lesson because he's so close to me. I can see him in my peripheral view and it seems like he's watching every single move I make.

“ Will you please stop that!” Pabulong kong sambit.

“ Stop what?”

“ I told you not to give me false hopes Alonzo!”

“ Tapos iiyak ka nanaman kapag lumayo ako?” mapanuksong aniya.

Naipikit ko nalang ang aking mata ng mariin at muling nag focus sa lesson. Nang mag break time ay kaagad akong tumayo pero hinila nya ako palapit sa kanya.

Nagtilian ang mga babae specially ang mga kaibigan ko dito. Itinulak ko sya palayo pero tila isa syang malaking pader na nakaharang sa akin.

“ Will you please stop pestering me?!” Hinila ko ang kamay ko at tinitigan sya ng masama.

“ Tapos iiyak ka nanaman?”

“ I was fucking drunk last night Hontivero! Stop bringing things up!”

“ What if I really like you?” I was stunned to where I am standing. He's messing around. That's what my brain is saying but my heart is being flattered.

“ Can I you be mine Yohan?” Muling nagsipagtilian ang mga kaklase ko. My eyes watered that makes my vision blurry.

Without a word I walked out but he's really persistent. Sinundan nya ako ako hanggang sa field.

“ Alonzo please! If you are messing around please stop.”

“ And what if I don't?” He look so serious.“ I'm sorry if I suddenly surprised you with a girlfriend Yohan. I thought you were Paul's boyfriend that's why I hooked up with Yna.”

“ I love you Yohan.” he suddenly hugged me tight. He kissed my forehead as he look into my eyes.

“ Don't you love me Yohan?”

“ I do.” I answered that makes him smile.

“ Then will you be my boyfriend?”

I swallowed hard before nodding slowly. He once again hugged me tight and kissed my forehead.

“ I promise I'll be good baby.”

“ Don't call me that.” Asik ko sa kanya. I'm really into him. I'm so madly in love with him to the point that I would forget the mistake he did.

“ I love you Alonzo.” I whispered in his ear. We intertwined our hands as we go to our classroom. I hope this work cause if not I don't know if I can forget him.
