Waiting For Forever

WFF - 30

3rd person's POV

"I am so sorry for the bad press." Paulit-ulit na sabi ni DJ pagkagising niya. Diba't lasing na lasing nga siya kahapon?

"All is well, DJ. I understand you." Sabi naman ni ate Celestine genuinely. Kath drank her coke and stood up from the table. Nasa back stage sila. 3 hours before their last show in Amsterdam and she can't honestly wait to get out of there. Lahat sila nagtinginan sakanya when she headed for the exit.

"I'm just going to get some fresh air." She said and left. Lahat sila nagtinginan. Ate Celestine broke the silence.

"I'm not mad for what happened last night, okay DJ? But I'm mad at what happened with you and Kath. At what you did. Go, follow her." Parang Sonic si DJ na tumayo at sinundan si Kath na nasa may parking lot at nagse-skateboard. Natawa na lang siya. Hindi nya alam kung kailan natuto mag skateboard si Kath. But then he wondered, kilala nya pa din ba si Kath? He watched as she did skateboard tricks and landed perfectly. Tinanggal ni Kath yung bonnet niya at umupo sa stairs ng isang trailer habang nilalaro yung skateboard niya. Si DJ naman, imbes na kausapin agad, he just watched. Ganun naman siya lagi eh. Something about Kathryn has always been fascinating.

Kaso unti – unti nagbago yung aura ni Kath at mula sa kinatatayuan niya, naramdaman niya yon. Bigla na lang binato ni Kath yung skateboard. Tumayo ito at kinuha yung skateboard at saka binato ulit, dahilan para mabali sa gitna yung skateboard. Nabigla si DJ sa nakita niya. O nanghina? Oo, nanghina din. Unti-unting napaupo sa semento at tinakpan ng kamay nya yung mukha niya at nagiiyak. Iyak ng iyak. At sa sight palang na yon, naiyak na din si DJ.

"PUTANG INA MO KA. ANG SAKIT SAKIT. TAMA NA." Sigaw ni Kathryn sa kawalan. DJ bit his lip refraining himself from crying. But it was impossible. Kathryn was making it impossible. She was hitting the cement causing her fists to bleed pero parang wala siyang nararamdaman. She was being cut by her broken skateboard na hawak nya pa din. And besides all that, she was crying her eyes out. "Ang sakit, sakit."

DJ slowly made his way to Kathryn at nakatayo lang siya sa harap nito. Si Kathryn nakayakap sa tuhod niya. At dahan-dahan, she met DJ's eyes causing her to stand up and slap him with her bleeding hand.

"FUCK YOU. Fuck you, DJ. Fuck you." She took a step back, still crying. Nasampal niya na si DJ at lahat lahat pero wala pa din siyang nararamdaman sa kamay niya pero alam niyang dumudugo.

"I don't know what to do anymore." Bulong ni DJ habang umiiyak na din. Nakatingin siya sa semento na may bahid ng dugo ni Kathryn dahil sinuntok niya to kanina.

"I wanted you to fight for me! I wanted you to want me even though I was pushing you away! DJ, tatanggapin kita kahit walang suyo. Kahit walang ligaw ulit. IF you just tried harder. Pero hindi, you let me go. Fuck you for letting me go." Kathryn turned her back at DJ at aalis na pero bigla siyang niyakap ni DJ. Gustuhin man yang itulak papalayo, aminado si Kath na namiss niya yung yakap ni DJ. She relaxed a little bit although she was furiously shaking. "Putang ina ka." Kath hissed.

"I'm sorry."

 

"You're sorry? Goodness, DJ. Is that all you can say? I'm sorry?!"

 

"Ano bang gusto mong gawin ko para mapatawad mo ko?" DJ asked. "I miss you."

 

"I miss you too."
