I Lost Her When She Lost Her Weight R-18

CHAPTER NINE: Shocked

SANFORD'S POV

Nagmamadali akong naglalakad papuntang gymnasium ngayon. Naman kasi ang magaling na si Dwight pinasukan na naman ng toyo sa utak.

Kawawa naman si Nimbus. Agriculture student siya at project niya ang mga dala-dala niyang box na nabunggo ni Dwight kanina. Kanina ko lang siya nakilala pero alam kong pinaghirapan niya ang mga 'yun.

Kitang-kitang nalungkot siya nang makitang kinuha ni Dwight ang isa sa mga box na dala niya. But he had no other choice.

I whisked my head at the thought. Tss, ba't nila pinapabayaang apihin nalang sila.

Natapunan ng dumi ng baka ang damit niya so I offered him na kunan siya ng shirt sa locker ko since marami naman akong extra.

Nang makarating ako sa locker room ng gym ay kumuha ako ng extra shirt at perfume. Nagkagulo-gulo tuloy ang mga gamit ko sa pagmamadali. Nahulog tuloy ang ibang mga gamit ko.

Nakuha ng pansin ko ang isang coin purse at ilang mga gamit pambabae. Those were Lara's.

Kinuha ko lahat ng gamit niya. There is no sense keeping it anymore.

Nang makuha ko na ang lahat ng kailangan ko, kumaripas agad ako ng takbo. Baka hindi ko na maabutan si Nimbus.

I went for the trash bin at the edge of the soccer field because I didn't want people seeing me with Lara's things. I preferred a bin not commonly used.

Now look at me! Sa gitna ng soccer field  under the heat of the sun. I closed my eyes and felt the warmth of the sun hurting my skin. After months from the break up, it is now that I can say I now finally feel free.

Until..

bogsh.

Someone just bumped into me, hitting me badly that I almost fell.

Napalingon ako kung sino ang katulad kong tanga na mas piniling bagtasin ang soccer field kesa dumaan sa covered walk sa mga oras na ito.

It's Gretel.

I know and I can feel that there's something wrong with her right now..

Napasinghap ako. It's her birthday. Siguro ay hindi nanaman siya pinalampas ng mga pambubuska ng ibang mga studyante.

But she was never moved by them before..

I was fast so I was successful in grabbing her arm.

Damn! She's crying!

The heat from the sun suddenly felt cold. She was so fragile and delicate. How could someone make her cry on the day of her birthday?

I looked at her face and wiped her tears dry. I didn't know what to say to calm her down. I felt an unfamiliar pain in my stomach. I felt disturbed for not knowing how to make her feel safe and okay.

Then in one blink, I kissed her.

Sa gitna ng soccer field..

In front of the crowd..

Everyone's eyes widened,  I thought of my silly promise to this innocent girl.

"I'm sorry Gret," my voice still calm

She remained silent. Parang nagpause ang mga luha niya.

"but I promised you something I couldn't break. Happy birthday". I smiled as I consoled her. But she stepped back.

I tried to reach out for her, hoping she would feel more secure. I did not want to embarrass her. I wanted to make her feel welcome in our league. I never made anything in life unplanned such as that but I didn't feel like I have done something wrong at all too.

She looked shocked as she tried to compose herself. She looked around her trying to assess the crowd who might have seen what I did. While doing so, I noticed how her view focused on the her back. Then, she looked back at me with a disappointed and even more devasted. Her eyes started to again pool. Before I even tried to catch her, she quickly ran away from the scene.

I followed the gaze she made expecially the area she focused on. Then, I saw Lara also shocked.

I held my forehead trying to make sense about what's going on. I just made everything worse.
