Transcript of his heart (De Villa Series #2)

“Mauna ka na, Aki. Tinawagan ko na ang Driver sa bahay, susunduin ka na niya.”

Sabi ko kay Akira habang pinapakita sa kanya ang cellphone ko na katatapos lang ginamit para tawagan ang driver namin.

Andito nga pala kami sa parking lot para hintayin ang driver namin

“Pero tapos na rin ang klase mo, ‘di ba?” sabi niya at tumango naman ako.

“Yes, pero hihintayin ko pa si Jacob, may praktis sila, hihingi pa ako ng tawad sa ginawa ko sa hallway noon,” sabi ko at rinig ko naman ang pagbuntong hininga niya at ang pagkagat sa pang-ibabang labi, pinipigilan na magsalita. “Spill it, anong gusto mong sabihin?” 

Alam ko na may gusto siyang sabihin. She is Akira, anyways.

“Ilang linggo ka ng nagso-sorry sa kanya, Calla. Wala parin epekto, ‘di ba? Birthday mo na bukas, huwag mo naman sanang hayaan na masaktan ka before your day.” Sabi nya at ngumiti naman ako sa kanya ng mapait.

Yes, November 28 na bukas, mag-twe-twenty na ako pero mukhang ito ang pinaka-malungkot na birthday ko kung hindi kami magiging okay ni Jacob.

I am still trying my best to say sorry in what I have done in his girl-no, his toy, because after that incidents where I slapped that girl, I heard they already broke up.

“That’s why I am trying my very best this time, Aki. This will be the best gift I will receive if he will forgive me,” nakangiting sabi ko sa kanya, alam ko hindi abot sa mata because I am also doubting if he will forgive me, I am not even sure if he knew my birth day.

“Is that how much you love him, Calla? Eating your pride and look like a desperate----“Desperate. Is that what you call this one? I see. Yes, Akira, I am desperate.” Putol ko sa sinabi niya at tinap ang balikat ng aking kapatid.

“He is my happiness, I know you can’t understand me for now because you still don’t feel the word love and----“If I will fall in love, Calla, I choose to suffer and sacrifice because that’s how I see love, that’s how love works for me. If they will comeback after I let them go, then that means we’re meant to be, but if not, then I know they already find someone who makes them happy.”

I am shock upon hearing what Aki said. I somehow adore her for being so brave and choose to sacrifice, I know why she told me that. She sacrificed his dreams for me, she sacrificed his freedom just to make tito Blue happy.

While me? I can’t sacrifice, I can’t sacrifice and letting go Jacob and just wait if he will come back after I let him go, because I know he will not.

“Akira,”

Nanunubig ang mata ko sa narinig sa kapatid pero magsasalita pa lamang sana ako nang nakita ko na ang driver namin para sunduin siya.

“See you later sa bahay, Calla. Please, know your worth and don’t let yourself be like her.” Sabi niya at tinalikuran na ako.

Nang nakapasok na siya sa kotse namin at nang unti-unti nang nawala ito ay tumalikod na rin ako at pinunasan ang luha ko.

“I still know my worth, Aki. Don’t worry I will never be like her.”

Mahinang sabi ko at pumasok na naman sa loob para pumunta sa gym dahil andoon sina Jacob, nagprapraktis.

Rinig ko rin ang balita na siya na ang pumalit kay Kuya Harold sa pagiging captain ball since graduate na siya.

I am so proud but I never even tell him that because he never let me. Lalapit pa lang ako ay sinisigawan na niya ako.
