Loving my Ex

Chapter 20: Crazy

POV ni Ttistan

"Babe, what's wrong?" I asked her. Ang higpit kasi ng yakap nya e.

She broke from the hug and faced me.

"I'm just so happy that, we are here. Together. Everything that happened before made us stronger. Oh, rhyme yun a." she said and then kissed my cheeks. "I'll go inside na. You sure you don't want to come?" she asked and then opened the car door.

"No. Magpahinga ka na babe. Iloveyou."

"Iloveyou too. Magiingat ka ha."

Then she entered the gate. Pinaandar ko lang ang sasakyan nang makapasok na sya.

While driving on my way home, napapaisip ako. I think something's wrong with Paris. I just didn't bother asking her because I knew very well that if she wanted to tell me, she will.

After a few minutes, I already parked the car and then went inside the house.

"Tristan, pinapatawag ka ng mama mo sa study room." Salubong sakin ni Manang Fe. Yung kasambahay namin.

"Sige po. Magbibihis lang po ako."

As soon as makapagbihis ako, I headed straight to the study.

"Ma." I called her.

She just looked at me then motioned me to sit down in front of her desk.

"How's school Marius?" she started.

"Just fine. Why did you call me?"

"Stay away from her." My heart wanted to jump out of its cage when I heard the words came out her lips.

"Stay away from who?" I said finally when I regained composure.

"Don't play fool Tristan. I know you know that I am referring to Paris. I want you to get her out of your way para walang sagabal sa inyo ni Raine." she said, slightly losing calmness.

"How can you be so cruel ma?" I asked, I didn't bother to hide the anger in my voice. "I'm tired of this. I am not marrying Raine. We don't even love each other! I love Paris and I am going to be with her and her alone!" I said and then stood. I turned my back and started walking out.

"Don't test my patience Marius! You are going to stay away from her whether you like it or not." she shouted as I closed the door.

Dumiretso ako sa kwarto ko at kinuha ang cellphone at ilang gamit ko. Buo na ang desisyon ko.

Kinuha ko ang susi ng sasakyan ko at nagdrive papunta kina Paris.

I texted her when I stopped at a stoplight.

Babe, hintayin mo ko sa gate ng bahay nyo. I'll be there in 10 minutes. Iloveyou.

After a few minutes, nakarating ako.sa kanila. She was there, sitting on the pavement.

"Babe! Why?" she asked as I get out of the car.

"Let's get inside. Where's your mom?" iginiya ko sya patayo at pumasok kami sa loob.

"She's not here. She will be back tomorrow."

"Good. Let's go to your room."

Her eyes widened. "Ano!? Hoy Tristan! Anong sinasabi mo?"

Di ko maiwasang mapangiti, ang cute nya.

I pinched her nose and say, "Baliw! Wala kong gagawin sayo. Tara na."

Pagpasok sa room nya, pinaupo ko sya sa kama at nagumpisa akong maglagay ng gamit nya sa bag.

"Ano bang ginagawa mo?" she asked.

"Packing your things."

She rolled her eyes. "I can see that. I mean, why?"

"We'll go on a vacation." i continued packing.

"Bakasyon? San? Bakit?"

I didn't answer. I just continued packing and told her to make a note for her mom saying that she's with me and that she will be fine.

"Take a nap. It will be a long ride." I told her as I drive out the village.

She kissed me and then closed her eyes. I opened the stereo and the song started playing.
