Chapter 43

Chapter 43

"Just text me the time so I can pick you up."

I was holding my phone while I'm in front of the familiar place where we usually spent time during our lunch break.

Muli kong tinignan yung huling message ni Mark sa'kin bago ako pumasok sa loob ng coffee shop.

Ilang beses ko nang sinabi sa kanya na hindi niya na ko kailangang sunduin dahil halos nasa tapat lang naman 'yon ng campus. But he insisted so I don't had a choice kung hindi pagbigyan siya. He said he wants to see me so I let him. Naniniguro rin siguro na pupunta talaga ako.

He invited me to watch his basketball training.

Ilang araw na niya 'kong kinukulit na pumunta para daw may source of energy siya while having his training. Pumayag na 'ko since mapilit talaga siya. Wala rin naman akong gagawin na school related projects kaya wala na rin kong nagawa kung hindi pumunta.

I really wanted to watched his training but I don't want him to be distracted while I'm around. He instantly lost his focus that's why I don't want to come.

Dadaanan niya daw ako galing sa bahay nila pagkatapos kong gawin yung dapat kong gawin dito.

I went inside the coffee shop and find an available chair to seat. Pumunta na rin ako sa counter matapos kong ilapag yung bag ko para um-order ng milk tea and slice of cakes.

Matapos kong um-order ay bumalik ako sa upuan ko at naghintay ng ilan pang minuto. Kinuha ko yung cell phone sa loob ng bag ko para tignan yung messages doon.

Huminga ako ng malalim habang pinagmamasdan 'yon. Wala man lang reply simula kanina. They just seened it. I know they were aware of my messages because of the green dot that means they are online. Nagbakasali parin akong pumunta dito sa shop kung saan sinabi ko sa kanila kung anong oras at saan kami magkikita.

I really wanted to fixed our misunderstanding.

Ayoko namang may samaan parin kaming tatlo nila Chelsea ng loob. Ang gusto ko sana magkaayos kami bago mag christmas break. Para wala akong dinadala sa loob ko habang hindi kami nagkikita at nagkakausap.

I really missed them.

Simula kasi ng nagstay ako sa bahay ng halos ilang araw, hindi ako nakapagpaalam sa kanila na hindi ako makakauwi sa apartment

Gusto ko rin sanang sabihin sa kanila yung tungkol sa'min ni Mark. I know they will have different reaction and so much questions but they really need to know about it.

Halos kalahating oras akong naghintay pero hindi ko parin sila nakita kaya nagpagdesisyunan ko nang umalis. Mukhang hindi na sila pupunta.

I get my things and I was about to go when someone speak.

"Ehem."

Napabalik ako sa upuan ko ng makita sila Aileen at Chelsea. They wearing their school uniform, with their messy hair. Halos habulin nila yung hininga nila habang tahimik na umupo sa vacant chair na nasa harapan ko.

Pinagmasdan ko sila. Nakangiti sa'kin si Aileen habang si Chelsea naman ay umiwas ng tingin ng nagtama yung mga mata namin. She looked so strong on her red dark lipstick. Mukhang galit parin siya sa'kin dahil hindi man lang niya magawang ngumiti at tumingin ng diretso sa mga mata ko.

"Sorry we're late. May tinapos lang kaming school tasks," panimula ni Aileen. Nakita ko naman na tinarayan siya ni Chelsea.

"Kumain muna kayo," sabi ko habang inuusog yung platong may lamang cake at yung milk tea na halos matunaw na yung yelo sa sobrang tagal nilang dumating.
