Chapter 29

Chapter 29

Sa isang iglap nagbago ang lahat... lahat. It's been a month since Papa died, and the police still don't know who killed my father. I'm so hopless, I wanted to serve the justice my Papa deserves but how? I'm just me, no money, no job yet... I'm still a student, and I don't know any family member who can help me except for my late father.

And what hurts me the most is Braxten... since we came back here in Manila, he's been so cold to me, he's been acting like he doesn't care at all, and everytime we're alone he'll always make an excuse to leave, and...

"Have you seen the new girl? Half British ata iyon diba?"

"Oo nga eh, and she's so lucky, nakuha niya kaagad ang atensyon ni Braxten!"

"How about the probinsyana? Binasura na?" The other girl said mockingly.

Napayuko ako, panigurado kasi akong alam nilang dadaan ako kaya sila nag-uusap ng ganoon. But then even though I know they're just trying to annoy me, it hurts, kasi totoo... Braxten and the new girl named Anna are always seen together. Hinahatid sundo siya ni Braxten, at halos sa restuarant sila kumakain gabi-gabi.

I wanted to ask Braxten what happened, at bigla nalang siyang nagbago sa akin. But then again... I'm scared and I don't have the courage. At isa pa, alam ko kung ano lang kami. Pero bakit ganoon? Bakit ang bilis naman ata niyang magsawa sa akin? Or is it because my Father died? Is he just being nice to me because he feels indebted to my Father? I wanted to hope for the other thing around, but then I know better...

Napahinto ako sa paglalakad ng makita ko si Braxten na nasa hallway, he is leaning on the wall like he's waiting for someone. Is he waiting for me?

"What is Braxten doing here?"

"Yeah, akala ko ba si Anna na? Is he here for that Probinsya again?"

"Baka di pa siya tapos sa paglalaro sa kaniya? Haha."

My heart fluttered when he looked on my way. I smiled and started walking towards him, but then before I could go near him, Anna already hugged him from behind. My heart clenched in such sight.

Mabilis akong tumalikod at tumakbo palayo, I don't know where to go but I chose to run faster, I wanted to erase what I just saw but I can't, and it really hurts... so bad.

Sa sobrang pag-iisip ay nadapa ako, imbis na mapahiyaw ay isa-isang tumulo ang mga luha ko. Hindi ako tumayo, umupo ako sa lupa at iniyuko ang aking mukha, I hugged my kness and let my tears fall. I sob and didn't mind my surroundings.

I don't know why I'm crying, really. I just feel like crying... Feel so hurt... Feel so Hopeless... Feel so stressed to everything.

"Lalaine..."

I tilted my head to see Doydoy standing in front of me, he knelt to the ground and offer me a handkerchief. Tinitigan ko lang ito.

"Hindi ka dapat umiiyak para sa isang taong hindi karapat dapat." Mahinahon ngunit madiin niyang sabi at siya na mismo ang nagpunas sa aking mga luha.

"Hindi naman ako umiiyak dahil kay, Braxten."

Tinitigan niya ako. "Wala naman akong sinabing si Braxten."

Natigilan ako at napagtanto ang sinabi niya. It's a logic, a psychological question. Inagaw ko sa kaniya ang panyo at tumayo na, ganoon din siya. I continued wiping my face. Napatingin ako sa paligid, wala masyadong estudyante.

"Salamat dito." Mahina kong sabi sa kaniya.

He nodded and put his hands on his pocket. "Gusto ko din sanang tumulong sa paghahanap sa mga taong bumaril kay Angkol Bongetz, kung papayag ka."
