Mutual Understanding [MAJOR REVISING]

Chapter 33: School Tournament

SEVEN'S POV

"ANONG GINAGAWA MO DITO?!" Sabay naming sigaw sa isa't isa ni... BRANDON.

Nagpalitan kami ng masamang titig sa isa't isa ng makita ko siya.

"Dapat nga ako ang nagtatanong sayo niyan eh! You don't even live here so why are you here?" I said to him with full of anger. What is he fucking doing here? Eh si Deb lang naman ang pupuntahan niya, and another one, I still remember when he said that he will court her! If I can only punch him and hurt him, I already did! But, I don't want her to get scared of me.

"You're not the reason why I came here, it's her. So you better stay away from my way Steven!" He also shouted! Wtf?! And he has a guts, to tell me he's fucking lies?! I want to punch him, really hard now! As in very now!!

"We're off to somewhere Brandon, and she's staying on us! And what's your reason for visiting her?! Is she sick?! Stop this fucking bullshit Brandon!" I answered! Sa dinami-dami ng babaeng maari naman niyang magustuhan eh, yung akin pa!

"What the?! What are you saying?! Are you crazy dude?! She is staying with us!" He shouted, What is he saying that she is staying with him? I can't answer because I felt that I am so down and I was shocked because of what I've heard. I thought.. She's staying with us? He is deadly serious when he told that, no guts of laughing nor joking.

"What are you saying that she is staying with you?" I asked him and look to his eyes. Para akong sinukluban ng langit at lupa at hindi naintindihan ang sinabi niya, parang gusto ko pang ulitin niya ito para mas maintindihan ko.

"S-seven.." Out of no where, she called my name. She held my hand and pinched it, I felt her cold hands and it's shaking like she's scared of something. I looked at her but she's not looking at me, instead she was bowing her head. She stayed in that position as she started to talk. "T-that i-is t-the r-reason why I want to talk to you..  Tumawag si tatay kaninang umaga na pinakausapan niya si Brandon na sa kanila daw ako mag-stay." She said while stuttering, I feel sad when I heard that from her, I think, I just wanted to don't end this day so she won't stay with Brandon! I can't say any word, I feel all my energy are gone, the excitement that we will packed up her things and she will stay with us is covered by sadness.

"Go inside." I said to Brandon, I tried to calm my self because every second I can punch him really hard! Before he went inside but he took a glance at Deb and smiled a little bit! I gave him a death glare and he continued walking.

'Tsk! Bullshit!'

I drag her outside of their house and she's still bowing her head. Ini-angat ko ang baba niya't nakita ko ang pangingilid ng luha sa kanyang mga mata at hindi pa ito tumutulo, agad ko namang pinahid yun dahil ayokong makita siyang umiiyak, parang nasasaktan din ako. She smiled a little bit and wiped away her tears and she didn't cry already.

"Why do you need to stay there?" I asked her with a calm tone, I'm trying my best to stay calm and smile at her. I'm still thinking that they are on the same roof and there's a possibility that Brandon will take a move and at the same time she will be closed to him! It sounds gay but I really don't want to lose her.

"Sinabi ko naman kay tatay na sa inyo ako magste-stay, kaso ayaw ni tatay na pumayag dahil nakakahiya daw. Sa inyo na nga siya nagta-trabaho pagkatapos dun pa daw ako magste-stay." She said with a sad tone, you can see the sincerity on her eyes that she wanted to stay with us but her dad don't allow her. I want to stay her in our house so badly. Tsk!

"Why does he need to get shy? Tsk!" Sabi ko pa't umiling-iling. "Sayang naman, akala ko makakasama kita ng matagal." Panghihinayang kong saad sa kanya, parang gusto ko na lang sabihin na. 'Wag ka nang sumunod, dun ka na lang sa 'min.' pero alam kong magagalit si Tito, sa pagkaka-kwento kasi ni Deb minsan ay pag sinabi niya ay hindi na niya binabawi.
