BAD but GOOD (BGMBB BOOK ll)

Chapter 21

Ten's POV

Cullen is having hard time. I can tell by his tears. No matter how may people tell him to be strong, he himself can't find the door through that.

Its not the first time I've seen him crying but this is the first time I saw him hurt that much. Indeed a crybaby. He still looked like a baby no matter how I see it -___- he surely grew up lots of love with his brother alone.

"Ten, samahan mo kong kunin si Tabi"

Tumango at tumayo

"Baste, alis muna kami."

"Okay. Drive carefully"

Pumunta kami ng parking lot at pumasok na sa sasakyan.

"Ate"

"Hmm?"

"How long do you know Jefferson?"

"More than 10 years"

"What a quiet friendship you got there"

"It is" ngumiti sya

"How about that girl, Dara"

"Hmm.. 6 or 7?"

"I have a question, ate"

"What is it"

"Does knowing someone for how many years or decade is enough to trust and know its true colors?" Tanong ko habang nakatingin sa bintana

Alam kong napatingin sya sakin dahil sa tanong ko

"P-perhaps.." Nag alinlangan na sagot nya

"Bakit parang di ka sigurado, ate?"

Hindi sya sumagot

"Hmmm.. Forget it, ate"

You already answered my question.

Pumunta kami sa isang malaking bahay at pumasok kami sa loob. Ang yaman nga talaga ni Jefferson.

Sinalubong kami ni Tabi na panay ang pagtalon talon

"You sure have missed your Mom, Tabi" nakangiting sabi ni Jefferson

Niyakap naman ni ate ito habang puno ng kasiyahan sa labi nya

"He's a big eater. Muntikan na akong mamumulubi jan" natatawang sabi ni Jefferson

"He is. 1 sack is only a week for this big guy" natatawa ding sagot ni ate

Habang nag uusap sila, nilibot ko ang mata ko sa bahay nya at may nakita akong pamilyar sakin. Isang pink na bag. Louis Vuitton na bag na nasa upuan sa veranda. Kahit medyo malayo, alam kong bag yun. Pamilyar sakin eh. Parang nakita ko na to dati.

Hmmm... San ko b----don't tell me???

"Alis na kami, L. Iuuwi ko pa to si Tabi"

"Hindi lang ba kayo kakain muna dito, V?"

"Hindi na. Dun nalang kami sa bahay. Tsaka babalik din ako sa ospital. Ikaw?"

"Bukas na. I want to cool down myself for now"

"Okay. Bye L! Tabi say bye to your daddy" tumahol naman si Tabi habang nakatingin kay Jefferson. Lumapit naman sya amin at hinagkan si Tabi

"See you, Tabi"

Lumabas na kami ng bahay nya.

Ng makalabas kami, nilibot ko ang mata ko sa kapaligiran at nakita ko ang sasakyan nya na malapit sa sasakyan ni Jefferson na naka park malapit sa garage.
