Infinite Love (Black Soraia Series #2)

"Sigurado ka bang ayos ka lang, Shiloh?" Silas asked again as he sat beside me. We're both in my room now.

"Oo naman." I swallowed hard and smiled. Hindi talaga maganda ang pakiramdam ko roon sa bagong lalaki na titira sa impyernong 'to. "Sige na Silas, magpapahinga muna ako." saad ko at nahiga na. Tumango naman siya saka ako iniwanan.

Sleeping is not part of my plan. I just want to be alone. I want to know why the hell did I felt that! Tsk, love at first sight? No way I don't believe in love. And if it's love at first sight, why did I cried? "Who are you? You're occupying my mind." I whispered and stood up. I'll just go to the balcony. Meron dito noon kada floor. I need fresh air!

"Gaano kaya 'yon katagal dito? 'Di naman siguro siya magtatagal-"

"Sino?"

"Oh shoes!" I said when someone suddenly talked behind me. "Geez, don't surprise the hell out of me." I held my chest.

"Sorry." he said coldly and walked towards me. Like mine, he put his both elbows on the railings and looked around. He looked sad. I mean, depressed? I don't know and why do I care? "How long have you been here?" he asked. I looked at him seriously.

"4 years." I said and looked away. Yes, I'm ashamed. But even though I looked away, I could still see him looking at me through my peripheral vision.

"H-how... I mean..."

"I survived because I want to live. I don't want to die yet." I said sarcastically and looked at him. "I'm too young to die."

He smiled. "Let's survive together then. Balang-araw, dadaanan na lang natin 'to."

"Umaasa ka?"

He shook his head. "Naniniwala ako." rinig sa boses niya ang puno ng pag-asa. "I'm Joshua De Villa." he gave his hand.

"Shiloh Gabriel." I answered but ignored his hand. Duh, baka nakakalimutan mong ikaw ang nagpaiyak sa akin kanina at kailangan ko pang isipin kung bakit ako biglang gumanon.

I heard his chuckle which made me upset. Why is he laughing now?!

"I have a brain tumor." I know. "And I didn't tell that to my mother. Kaya 'ayun... lumala." I badly want to look at him. I want to see his eyes while saying that but my pride tells otherwise. "How about you?"

"CHD." his jaw dropped so I turned my head to right just to avoid his gaze. I really don't like his presence. Para kasing 'yong lungkot niya, nakokonekta sa akin. Feels like we're link to each to other.

"Ako may sakit sa utak. Ikaw naman may sakit sa... puso." so? What is he trying to say? "Meant to be yatang maging kaibigan kita." doon na ako napatingin sa kan'ya.

"We're not friends, Mr. De Villa." pagtataray ko.

"Not yet." he whispered which made my blood boil.

"We're not close but why are you acting like we are?!" I yelled. His mouth formed 'o' and raised his both hands.

"C-chill. Don't be mad. It's bad for... your..."

My anger fades when I guessed what he wants to say. "I know." I sighed. Oh no, I'm getting emotional again.

"Hey it's okay. Gagaling tayo." napabalikwas ako nang akbayan niya ako na parang mag tropa kami! Aba't! Magrereklamo na sana ako kaso nag salita siya. "Alam mo ba, noong nakita kita kanina, naramdaman ko ulit 'yong naramdaman ko dati sa kaibigan kong babae."
