"Thank you" he said and I just nodded. "Why are you asking pala about that kind of questions?" I asked. I know there's something bothering him and I just wanted to help or does he needs my help? "Ryssi" he shortly answer. I face him and try to read his emotions but he's good at hiding.
"What about her?" I curious asked. I saw him gulped and bite his lower lip before telling me. "I'm suspecting her" he started. "That?" I asked. "This past few days she's losing interest to our conversations but I didn't mind it. And Cheska told me na nakita niya si Ryssi na may kasamang iba so I went to their house and look for her and she's not there. I called her and asked kung nasaan siya and she replied at home."
"Shiiit for real?" he just nodded. I really feel sorry for him he doesn't deserve this kind of treatment like dude it's Devon Rivero magloloko ka pa? My gosh!!! Imagine ang daming nakapila tapos ikaw pinili nagsayang ka pa. I can't believe Ryssi saan niya nakuha ang lakas ng loob para manloko.
"Pero kayo pa'rin?" I asked and he just nodded again. I sighed I didn't expect this. Yung relationship goal na hinahangaan ng maraming tao ganito lang pala. Now I realize that even you seen them happy together pwede pa pala itong magkasiraan. "Bakit hindi mo siya kinausap?" he shrugged. I know he's controlling his emotions.
"I tried but," he paused and held a deep breath. Ilang beses siyang lumunok saka yumuko. I want to hug him but I can't and I don't want to take advantage of his situation. He doesn't deserve any kind of this pain "I can't" he said. Agad na kumunot ang noo ko. "Why? You deserve to know the truth" I said. He's really trying to look fine in front of me. I can't handle seeing him like this.
"Yea I do but I'm just waiting for her to tell me the truth. Gusto ko na sakaniya mismo mang galing lahat." he answered. With his situation right now I am admiring him more. Kung ibang tao siguro ang nasa sitwasyon niya baka nag wala na or nagmukmok na sa isang paligid. But him? He's still manage to smile in front of others and make them laugh. "Kapag inamin niya na ba 'yung totoo iiwan mo siya?" I asked. I didn't know where did I get the strength to ask that questions to him.
He shook his head and sighed. I bit my lips and try not to petty him. "B-bakit? Ano pang reason mo para mag stay?" I asked. He look at me in the eyes. I gulped. Hindi ko matagalan ang mga titig niya. "I'm going to wait for her to make the move." he said.
"What?"
"First of all I'm too attached with Ryssi second I can't do the move hindi ko siya kayang saktan and lastly I'm her strength. Everytime she's having emotional breakdowns and anxiety attack ako lang nakakapag pakalma sakaniya." he explain.
"If you're her strength why did she cheated on you?" I asked. I didn't expect him to be like this. Totoo nga ang kasabihan na kapag matalino ka, bobo ka naman sa pag-ibig. At si Devon ang patunay na hindi lahat ng matalino sa acads matalino din sa pag-ibig. Sobrang tanga lang na niloko ka na nga iniisip mo pa din na hindi mo siya kayang saktan pero ano pa nga bang magagawa ko? Siya si Devon Rivero na hindi marunong manakit ng kapwa dahil kahit masakit na mahal pa rin niya.
"Hindi ako perpektong tao. I have a lots of flaws. Mga kakulangan din ako na hindi ko naibibigay at maibibigay." He said. Kung tutuusin ay mayaman naman siya so ano pang hindi niya maibigay? Kasi kung oras man imposible 'yun dahil mawala palang sa paningin niya si Ryssi para na siyang mababaliw. "Like what?" I asked.
"Kaligayahan-
"Madaming uri ng kaligayan Devon" I cut him off. Anong klaseng kaligayan pa ba 'e sa tuwing nakikita ko sila ay wala ka ng makikitang pagkukulang? Pero hindi ko din naman masasabi dahil nga ito diba nagawa pa rin magloko ng isa sa kanila kahit na masaya na sila.
"Sex" he answered that made me left hang. Ilang beses akong napakurap kung totoo ba ito or panaginip lang pero hindi dahil 'nung sinapak ko 'yung sarili ko sobrang sakit ng impact kaya dinala ako sa clinic ni Devon.
"I didn't expect that you will be like that" he said.
"Expect like?" I asked and he laugh. Fuck bro. Those laughs. . . those laugh are the rhymes to my ears. Ga'non ba kadali sa boys and magshift ng mood? Kanina lang ay malungkot siya tapos ngayon masaya na. "You're witty and deep person" he answered. Deep as in malalim? Woaaah!!! Devon is getting to my nerves. "What do you mean by deep?" I asked that makes him laugh again. So what Devon happy pill mo na ako niyan? Charot. Maybe he's just hiding the pain through those laugh. Pero hindi pa rin ma process ng isip ko 'yung mga nalaman ko.
"The advice" he said. I nodded and smile. Haven't he heard what I said earlier? "But I just read it." I said. He look at me for a seconds and then sighed. "Hindi mo lang naman nabasa 'e nasaulo mo pa nga" he said with amusement. Well ganon talaga ako. When I find it as a lesson I'll keep them in my mind. Syempre para maiapply ko sa sarili ko when I'm in that situation. Isa din 'yon sa kagandahan ng pagbabasa 'e you will learn a lot and parang ganito napagaan ko 'yung loob niya through those words. I laughed I really didn't expect this day would come. "Reminder lang sa sarili kapag dumating 'yung araw na nandoon ako sa sitwasyon na iyon." I said and smiled at him.
"You're planning to apply it to your self?" he asked and I nodded. "Kanino?" he look at me while waiting for my answer. Sayo gusto mo?
"When I find my own Devon Rivero" I answered.
