Chasing Wild Redamancy

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

Afraid

Two weeks had passed and I can't stop myself from looking back on what happened on the Shrine. The doubts and confusions has meet its end by those three powerful words. They must say, it was too early to feel love on this age, because we all believe on the statistic that on this early twenties love will fail us. So if your lover cheated on you, it's the fault of the statistic,

How absurd! Love has no age, Love has no gender. You will learn what the world is, when you learn how to love, until then we will live in the belief that we know what love is, but we will always lack on the courage to confront it as it truly is.

Pagkatapos ng kanilang sembreak ay naging abala ulit si David, he was calling me from time to time, update me on his whatnot. I want to arrange a lunch or a dinner with him but I don't want to interrupt on his busy schedules, I know he will make it after to me.

Nakanguso akong bumaba sa aming Van ng makitang wala pa siyang text sa akin ngayong hapon. He said his good morning earlier but then, there's no yet text coming from him. Ayoko naman maging clingy masiyado, I must understand his course. Kasi kahit ako sa sarili ko alam kong mahirap maging Doctor.

Natigil ang aking paa ng makirinig ng tawanan galing sa common area. Pawisan man galing sa Gym ay dumiretso ako roon upang sumilip. Napasinghap ako ng makita ang mag inang Pattinson. Did Mommy didn't realize what kind of people she is inviting? Namamantsahan ang aming Hermes na baso sa dumi ng kanilang kamay.

"Oh, Camila Darling..." aliw at masuyong sambit ni Mrs. Ophelia.

Peke akong ngumiti at walang buhay na tumuloy sa paglalakad. Natigilan si Mommy sa masayang kuwento at lumingon na din sa akin.

"Mom..." bati ko ngunit pinahalata ang pagbabanta sa aking tono.

Humalik ako sa pisngi ni Mommy at ganoon din kay Mrs. Ophelia. Tumikhim ako bago tumango at ngumiti kay Darius.

"Ophelia did invite me for a shopping," si Mommy na sa tingin ko ay nabasa ang aking iniisip.

"Join us Camila," si Mrs. Ophelia. "Your Mom told me, when it comes to fashion you have a good taste!"

Paumanhin akong ngumiti. "I'm sorry to turn down your offer Madam, but I need to sort out things po,"

"Oh...I figured," aniya.

"I hope you can come with us in some other time," si Darius.

Even it's just his voice my annoyance bottled up, parang gusto ko siyang gilitan ng leeg. Palihim akong umirap na nakita ni Mommy kaya palihim din akong kinurot. Tinakpan ko nalang ang daing ng pekeng halakhak.

"Sure..."

Nagkulong ako sa aking kwarto, hangga't hindi namamataan ang pag alis nina Mommy ay hindi ako lumabas. I don't want an another encounter with Darius at baka tuluyan ko na siyang pisikal na masaktan, I'm just really annoyed to him.

Nag ayos na lamang ako ng aking schedule para sa linggong ito, there are some small shoots pa 'din but it is mostly trainings. Hindi ko din naman ma contact si David. They just all become busy after Batangas. Nang matapos ay nanood na lamang ako ng Gossip Girls na hindi ko matapos tapos.

Alas syete ng gabi ng kumatok sa aking kwarto si Inday, sa tingin ko ay wala pa si Daddy dahil pagbaba ko ay wala pang kahit na ingay sa bahay bukod sa boses ni Inday at ni Manang Josie sa kitchen.

"Manang do we have durian ba?" I asked.

I suddenly crave for Durian, it's the start of the month, perhaps this is my usual monthly cravings for my monthly period.
