Chapter 30:
Bye
"Syleene Storm?"
"Oh it's you pala?" Ani ko pagkalingon ko na para bang kahapon lang kami di nagkita. Alam ko ang plastic ng ngiti ko pero bahala na.
Sya, seryoso lang mukha nya kaya inalis ko na din yung pekeng ngiti ko. I saw him looked to his watch. Nagmamadali na naman.
Oh I forgot. Wala pala syang time pakipag-usap sa akin.
"Ah nagmamadali ka?" I said not sure if I successfully concealed my dismay.
"Hindi naman." Maikling sagot nya contradicting his actions.
Pero bahala na. I waited for days and for God knows when will gonna meet again since he won't be around for awhile.
"C-can we talk?" Nagtatanong palang ako pero nag-uumpisa ng mamuo yung mga luha sa mata ko.
Lumabas lang kami ng mall at naupo sa isang bench sa ilalim ng puno sa di kalayuan. Kaunti lang ang mga dumaraan dito kase medyo nasa kasulukaang parte na ito.
"That day in the hospital......" I stared at him. "D-did you know the reason?" I am so nervous that my hands are shaking.
He nod. So he knows? Is he mad?
"A-are you mad?" Tutulo na talaga luha ko buseeetttt naman oh.
Nalungkot yung mukha nya.
"I only got to know this that day, I forced mom to tell me. At first yes, I was really mad. Who won't be? That's my father who are we talking about. People blaming him. Why? Did he intentionally want his colleagues to die? Partly he has to blame because he is the Captain and he insisted to continue the sail but he only did that because my mom is pregnant-- and that's me-- and her pregnancy is too sensitive and risky." Namumula na mga mata nya pero ako parang gripo na naman yung mga mata ko, ayaw patigil ng mga luha ko.
"During that day of tragedy, my mom bleeds a lot...she's about to have miscarriage good thing my aunt was with her during that time so she has brought to the hospital as soon as possible and their I was saved but mom was in critical condition."
Malakas na talaga iyak ko, nakakahiya na nga kase pinagtitinginan na kami ng ilang dumadaan. Earl is crying too. Kung hindi nga lang heart breaking yung eksena namin gusto kong matawa pota first time kong makakita ng lalaking umiyak in real life! Syet ang panget nya (juk✌️)
"The next day she woke up, she heard what happened to dad and he almost forgot that she was carrying me. She went to the port but as soon as she went out of her car she was attack by media and dad's colleagues' families. The remaining rescue team and police in the port helped mom to get back on her car and stopped the attackers. She got bruises and started to feel pain in her belly so she drive as fast as she could back to the hospital. I was barely hanging on there so my aunts decided that for our safety mom should go somewhere far that's why we were at Los Angeles."
Tuloy parin iyakan namin parang mga tanga lang.
"After one month, they recoverd dad's body and he was buried without mom seeing him for the last time." He wiped his tears.
"But Sy, I got to know your story and the others who are involved from the tragedy from aunt and almost all of you are still angry. I'm sorry for your lost but damn why they have to be mad at mom too? She lost her husband and I lost my Dad too that's why I keep on telling my self that I should not be mad to anyone since it's no one's fault."
I reached his hand. "I'm not mad. I thought you were since you're nowhere to be found."
"I'm just giving you time and I'm busy and pre-occupied too since Queen is sick."
Umurong ata lahat ng luha ko ng marinig ko naman pangalan ng babaitang yun.
"Uh eh... I'll talk to ate nalang.. my mom already understand." And she's willing to forget everything for what I FEEL! Dugtong ko sa isip ko.
"Sure. We'll just talk again next time Sy, I have to go. Queen is waiting for me and I already taking too long to come back to the hospital."
Tsk! Oo na sya na maganda, sa kanya ka na may time. Sino ba naman ako nu?
"Ah auhm is she okay na? You want me to pay visit?"
AT BAKIT NAMAN AKO BIBISITA DON? AMP ANG PLASTIK KO!
"Ha? Ah she's getting better and no need I'll be there all the time."
Oh di sya na CHE! Sya na di iniiwan ampp! May nanalo na buseeettt lang.
"I really have to go back Sy, sorry di kita mahatid." Ani nyana tumayo na.
"E-earl." He halted and look at me with questioning looks.
"C-can.... Can I... Can I hug you?" Syet! Sure na sure ako sobrang namumula ako! Puteks lang ramdam kong uminit cheeks at ears ko.
Gago ka Sy! Anong ginagawa mo?
I heard his chuckles. "Sure." He said as he opened his arms to welcome me in a warm hug.
Ako naman todo ang higpit sa pagyakap at gusto kong maiyak ng maramdaman ang marahang hagod nya sa likod ko pero tinamad ako busy ako ako sa pag-eenjoy ng moment na to.
Duh! Minsan lang to mangyari and not sure baka last na din to since may reyna na na epal. OO SYA ANG EPAL! BAHALA KAYO KUNG AYAW NYONG PUMAYAG.
"thank you." Ani ko after 1 minute and 27 seconds na yakap. At oo binilang ko talaga.
"No, thank you Sy for this talk this means a lot and sorry okay? Sorry for being an ass, sorryfor the worries. We'll talk again when I come back okay."
Tumango ako. "Take care while you are away and at least reply to one of my text or chat ha.. kahit isa lang kahit minsan lang."
Sa hospital lang naman talaga sya pupunta pero trip ko lang i-maximize yung drama ko.
"Sorry I'm busy but I'll try harder."
At least he'll try.
"Bye Sy."
