CHAPTER 45
EXHAUSTED
Dashiell's POV
"Parang hindi ka yata binibisita dito ni Ms. Beautiful," komento ni Royce na tumabi pa talaga sa akin. Hindi ako umimik, patuloy lang ako sa pagtatali ng sapatos ko.
He chuckled. "Oops. Mukhang seryoso 'yan ah. LQ?"
I just glared at him before I stood up and grabbed my gym bag. Akala ko tatantanan niya na ako pero sinundan niya pa talaga ako palabas ng locker room.
"Kaya pala dalawang linggo ko na kayong hindi nakikitang magkasama."
"Pwede ba Royce, tigilan mo. Wala ako sa mood."
"Ilang araw ka naman na talagang wala sa mood. Grabe kaya pagpapahirap mo sa'min, daig mo pa si coach. Parang may galit ka sa'ming lahat." He laughed and I just rolled my eyes.
"Pero pre kung ano man 'yan, sana pagusapan niyo. Isang taon na kayong dalawa, hindi biro 'yon. Wag mong itapon na lang basta basta 'yon."
Hindi ko nakakalimutan 'yon kaya nga nahihirapan ako. A part of me wants to keep Iris but there's also this side of me that no longer wants to fight. Naguguluhan na talaga ako kasi mahal ko pa rin naman si Iris. Sadyang nasasaktan lang ako sa mga nalaman at nakikita ko.
"Do you even know how many guys are waiting for Iris to be single again? Kapag binitawan mo siya, libo libo ang pipila para ligawan siya."
Yeah, even my own brother would definitely fall in line.
Tumigil ako sa paglalakad at hinarap si Royce. "What if I tell you Iris has someone else?"
He frowned. "Are you telling me she's cheating on you? Si Ms. Beautiful? Sigurado ka ba diyan? Parang 'di yata kapani-paniwala 'yan. Mga kaibigan niya pa, pwede kong pagisipan ng ganun pero siya? Nah bro. That's impossible."
"That's what I thought too."
Royce looked at me with confused face. "Are you sure about it or are you just speculating?"
"Ano bang tingin mo sa'kin, sira ulo? Bakit ko naman pagbibintangan ang girlfriend ko? Meron talaga siyang iba."
"Sino? Do we know him? Was it one of her friends?"
Kahit na gusto kong ikwento kay Royce ang lahat, pinigilan ko pa rin ang sarili ko. May tiwala naman ako sa kanya pero mas mabuti pa rin ang magingat.
At the end of the day, Iris still holds a special place in my heart. I still have to protect her no matter what.
Umiling ako at naglakad na uli. He walked beside me.
"Kung hindi niya kaibigan, pwes paano niya nakilala? Did it happened when you were at the Academy?"
"No. They were together way before she met me but unfortunately, they had to be apart. The bad news is that now he's back and he's going after her."
"E hindi naman yata ine-entertain ni Iris---"
"I caught him kissing her and she didn't even stop him."
