The delicate man that capCURED my heart

23 : COURT

KREIA'S POV

"Jah, wala ka bang napapansin kay Ysa?"

We were eating our lunch in a korean restaurant now but Qwyn and Gav are not around since absent si Qwyn at si Gav naman ay kasama ang ilang tropa niya galing ibang section. Trip naming kumain ngayon sa labas at ayaw ko na rin doon sa cafeteria kasi nga mainit ang tingin ng mga tao sa akin. Kasama ko kasi ang pinakamamahal nilang Justin eh, na mahal ko rin.

"What about Ysa?" he asked back.

"Parang naiba kasi yung pakikitungo niya sa akin simula nung alam mo na, nung naging malapit ulit tayo sa isa't-isa" I shrugged while chewing my food.

"Baka guni-guni mo lang 'yon"

Hindi e. Parang nag-iba kasi talaga pakikitungo niya sa 'kin. Dati naman okay kami e, nagawa ko pa nga siyang ipagtanggol sa yawa girls nung nilait-lait siya ng mga 'yon. Or I was just overthinking things again? Ewan ko, feeling ko kasi talaga something's off between us. Madalas na kasi kaming nagkakasabay papuntang music prod tuwing uwian pero lagi niya nalang din akong hindi pinapansin. I was just being nice or being friendly pero wala, dedma.

Until one afternoon, I've decided to confront her nang magka-sabay ulit kami papuntang music prod. It's bothering me these past few days, hindi ko alam kung may nagawa ba 'kong mali sakanya? Kung may nasabi ba 'kong hindi maganda? Now is the right time to ask her, ilang araw na rin kasing ganito. I treated her as one of my friends na rin kasi kahit na threatened ako sakanya noon. Akala ko kasi magugustuhan siya ni Jah kasi nga mahinhin tsaka pang Maria Clara talaga beauty niya.

"Ysa, can we talk?" I held her wrist before she could step on the stairs. Marahas niya 'kong binalingan at agad na tinapik ang kamay kong nakahawak sa may pulu-pulsuhan niya.

"Can you just please stay away from me!?" she said with gritted teeth, galit.

What's wrong with this woman? Parang ibang tao na siya ngayon. Not the Ysa I know before, this is an aggressive version of her now.

"What did I do to you Ysa?" I asked calmly and confused.

"Wala!" she answered, almost shouting.

"Then why are you like this to me? Uh...I thought we're friends, right?"

She chuckled.

"So, tinuturing mo pala akong kaibigan? You better not Krei, kasi pagsisisihan mo talaga sa huli" she smirked then left me dumbfounded on the corridor. What was that? Fuck. Getting me creeps, geez. Pagsisisihan ko sa huli? What does she means? Tumaas bahagya mga balahibo ko ro'n ah! But I don't really understand what she's talking about. Hayaan ko na nga muna, baka sa susunod maging okay na rin kami. I hope so.

"Anong nangyayari sayo? Kanina ka pa tulala ah" Jah suddenly said while we're heading our way to the parking lot, pauwi na. Iniisip ko pa rin kasi yung sinabi kanina ni Ysa, hindi ko kasi maintindihan talaga.

"Just thinking of something"

"Something or someone?"

I suddenly smirked after hearing his words, nagseselos na ba to? Based on his tone kasi parang eh.

"Don't tell me..." pinanliitan ko siya ng mata habang nakangisi.

"It's not what you're thinking Krei" he said and rolled his eyes. Attitude si kuya. Binangga-bangga ko yung balikat niya habang naglalakad kami at tinutukso na rin. Natatawa na ako kasi mukhang nagagalit na siya dahil sa kakatukso ko, hanggang sa umabot na kami sa parking lot.
