His Brain VS. Her Heart

Bersikulo BenteSyete: Si Cassandra

His POV

"I love you Dim."

 

Then silence. I hate that I could read her mind. And it hurt me a lot.

"Yea, I love you too Cassandra. Friends, right?"

"B-but you know that I- I lo-love you more than just a friend right, Dim?"

Another utterly silence.

"Why can't you love me more than a friend?"

How can I do this to her?

"Let's just be............. friends, Cassandra."

Dead silence from her.

If you just only know my feelings. If only I can tell you.

There are certain things in our lives that will never be in our control and whether we like it or not if it is done it will be just a mere part of our memory, part of our past.

We can never turn back our actions because we can never turn back time.

I can never turn back time, but she's here in front of me. Could I now?

Damn.

She was my happiness back then, but she was also the reason behind my miserable life.

I have never intended to leave nor even hurt her. God knows how she became my life. And that decision was one of the hardest choice I've done.

"Dim? Are you paying attention to me?"

Damn yes. I can't get my stare off out of her beautiful face.

She's really here.

"Dim..."

Nasa corridor kami sa labas mismo ng kwarto ni Georgina. I have been waiting here for her to wake up.

And then she came.

She hold my face. Just like how she did back then. My breathing stops. A different beat of heart.

And then I froze. There's something wrong.

"Stop." -that's only word that comes out of my mouth.

She looks at me as if something has happened inside of her.

Something is definitely wrong.

I can't read her freakin' mind. Or is she being too silent?

Why haven't I notice it earlier?

"What's wrong?" She suddenly panicked upon hearing my harsh way of saying that.

"What happened to you?"

Why can't I hear anything from her? No. No. No.

Akala ko si George lang ang may ganitong ability. Pero bakit pati si Cassandra?

I still remember that I could read her back then. Why now?

It's impossible that this is because of the distance or the long time we haven't see each other.

Damn. What's happening to my world?

"What do you mean, Dim?" She softly said.

Same old sweet cassandra.

Wrong move. Of course she had no idea that I could read minds.

"Nothing." I immediately said.

"So you know George?" She said.

Wth. Does she...?

"You know her?" I asked.

"She's my.."

Hindi niya na natuloy ang sasabihin niya because another one spoke.

"Cassy?"

Georgina's finally awaken.

But wait. They knew each other.

Their silence (in mind) gives me head ache. Magkasama ang dalawang taong hindi ko kayang mabasa ang utak.

"Oh my God, Georgy!"

Then she hugged her tightly.

Si George na mukhang nagulat ay nakarecover din. She instantly hugged her too.

"It's been 12 years and look nagkita ulit tayo!"

Wait. So they are even friends?

Or um, best friends?

Georgina is still quiet.

What's wrong?

Napatingin siya sa akin. Then her eyes tells me something. Why does she look like she's in pain?

"Are you okay, Georgina?"

I can't hide my nervous voice.

Lumapit ako sa kanya ng kaunti dahil kinakabahan ako na mahimatay siya ulit.

"Nahihilo a-ako."

Fuck. I can't panicked. Tho' my nerves did otherwise.

I instantly held her.

"Let's go inside, then."

Pumasok kami sa kwarto niya agad then ihiniga ko siya sa kama.

"You, silly girl, nahihilo ka pa pala. Bat ka bumangon agad?"

Kumunot lang ang noo niya. Then she said,

"Shut up, Logan!"

I smiled on that.

Napalingon ako kay Cassandra then I caught her looking at me with a confuse look. Jealousy? Ugh.

Then she spoke,

"Umm, Georgy kayo pala ni Dim ah? He-he-he. Dim is a good guy. Congratulations guys."

What the hell? Is she thinking that we're together?

And an idea came to me. I hope this would help my situation.

Lumapit ako sa kama ni George then I sat there.

Bago pa magsalita si Georgina, inunahan ko na siya.

"Yes Cassandra. We're together."

Then I held Georgina's hand tightly.

I know bubugbugin ako nito panigurado mamaya, but I saw the need to do this.
