Chapter 24: Found another girlfriend

Chapter 24: Found another girlfriend

"Kuya Teng?!" gulat na sabi ko nang makita ko kung sino ang humila sakin

"Let's go Fran.." he started walking, "Magagalit Kuya mo pag nalaman niyang nakikipag-usap ka sa lalaking yun.."

Wait, what is he talking about?! Alam na ba nila yung nangyari?

"Wait lang Kuya Teng!" pilit kong inaalis ang kamay ko sa pagkakahawak niya, "Bakit mo ba ako pinaiiwas kay Mark?"

He stopped walking and looked at me, "We already know what happened, Fran.. You don't have to pretend that you're okay in front of him.."

Ano daw?! Pano nila nalaman?! Si Jeron kaya ang nagkwento sakanila? Lagot talaga sakin yun!

"Pano niyo nalaman?" I curiously asked him, "Si Jeron nagkwento?"

He shrugged, "It's not important na, Fran.." he started walking again, "Halika na, Almira's waiting for you.."

Hindi nalang ako nagtanong pa, mukhang hindi ko naman makakausap ng matino. Sumunod nalang ako sakanya sa paglalakad.

"Hi Almira!" I greeted her pagpasok namin ni Kuya Teng

"Hello Fran!" she walked towards me and gave me a kiss on my cheek, "How are you?"

"I'm good.." I answered and gave her a fake smile

"C'mon Fran.. I know you're not okay.." she held my hand, "Tell me what's bothering you.."

"Hindi pa ba nake-kwento sayo ni Jeron?" I asked her, "Alam na nga ng Tigers eh.."

"Huh? Walang nababanggit si shoti sakin" naguguluhang sabi ni Almira, "Ano ba nangyari?"

"My heart is shattered into pieces, Alms.." I started, "Ang sakit pala kahit walang kami nung nalaman ko na may girlfriend na siya.."

"Wait Fran.. I'm confused.." Almira interrupted me, "Who are we talking about here? Is it Mark?"

I nodded at her..

"Ang sakit sakit umasa sa wala.. Akala ko talaga magkakaroon ng kami eh.." my tears started to fall

Almira gave me a very comforting hug, "Shhh.. Stop crying, Fran.. Hindi lang talaga siguro kayo ang para sa isa't isa.."

I hugged her back, "Pero sana kasi hindi niya ako pinaasa eh.. Sana sinabihan niya ako na may nililigawan siya para hindi ako umasa.. Para alam ko na kalandian lang pala ang hanap niya.."

"Kalandian talaga?" natatawang tanong niya sakin, "Hayaan mo nalang siya, Fran.. Madami pa namang iba jan.."

I smiled at her.. She's right.. Madami pang iba jan na mas worth it sa pagmamahal ko..

"At tigilan mo na yang pag-iyak mo.." she wiped my tears, "Pag nakita ka nila Kuya na umiiyak jan baka kung ano pa gawin nun kay Mark. Sige ka.."

At nakuha pa talaga akong takutin nitong si Almira!

After namin pag-usapan ni Almira yung tungkol samin ni Mark, hindi na namin pa na-open yung topic na yun. Kung ano ano nalang pinag-usapan namin habang hinihintay namin matapos yung training nila Kuya.

Mga pasaway kasi tong si Kuya at Kuya Teng, hindi nagtraining kaninang umaga, ayan pinahihirapan tuloy sila ni Coach ngayon. Pina 10 rounds sila eh.

"Where's Thomas?" Kuya Teng asked Almira, "Kala ko ba may date kayo?"

Almira sighed deeply..

"He ditched me, Ahia!" reklamo niya, "Nagdate sila ni Shoti.."
