The Story of Us

chapter fifty

Chapter 50

Asa harap ako ngayon ng mga lalaki. At lahat sila nag iintay sa importanteng bagay na sasabihin ko. Importante ba yun?

"Ella? Ano ba yung sasabihin mo?" tanong ni Xander na halatang naiinip na.

Huminga ako ng malalim.

May paki alam ba tong mga to? Para naman kasi sa nakikita ko, wala. Pano ba naman kasi, may nag dridribble ng bola, may naglalaro sa cellphone, may nanunuod sa mga nagprapractise, may nagtatawanan at may parang walang paki alam sa mundo.

Gaganahan ba akong sabihan ang mga ito sa ganito nilang attitude? Nakakasama naman ng loob ang mga to eh?

"Ella. We're waiting.." sabi bi Alex na tumigil pa sa pakikipag tawanan kay Drake sabihin lang yun.

Waiting mo muka mo.

"Wala akong sasabihin." pagalit kong sabi. My goodness, lalong pinasasama ng mga to ang loob ko eh? Mabuti pa'y wag na lang nilang malaman. Find it out themselves.

"Ella?!" sita agad sakin ni Czacza.

She walked towards me, snatched my left arm then glared at me. "May sasabihin siya. Importante, kaya umayos kayo! Laro kayo ng laro dyan eh?!" sigaw niya while turning her gaze on them.

Great Czacza, ayoko na ngang sabihin eh?

Iniharap ako ni Czacza sa kanila. "Say it, or I tell Matthew you're falling in love with him." she wisphered at the back of my ear.

That shoot me. How on earth did she know about that? Napatingin ako agad sa kanya. She just looked at me seriously so I just gave her the-you-need-to-tell-me-where-the-heck-you-get-that-info-look.

Binalik ko na yung tingin ko sa kanila. I need to tell them or else I'll face another heart break this day. That will surely remain forever in my heart. Nakatingin na naman sila lahat sakin well of course, Matthew's just pretending he's looking but he really isn't.

The hell with him.

Why don't he just look at me the way he used to before? I damn miss that thing! And the hell with him for being so damn hot, gorgeous, stunning and for having that oh so perfect body features that I can't resist but look at it. And the hell with him again for doing nothing but succeeded in making me fall for him and continue doing it even right at this very moment. Ugh.

"Aalis na ako. Babalik na ako sa America bukas." diretsahan kong sabi.

For a moment they all look normal, but few seconds past they're all in shocked faces. Seriously, is it that long to process that message?

And I was surprised to see Matthew is not an exemption to that.

Then there goes the crying sounds again. Pero hindi umiiyak sina Gab ha? Sina Czacza, umiiyak na ulit. Malulungkot lang yung mga muka ng mga lalaki. And I can say that they're really sad about it. Well I can't say if Matthew is sad about it or what but he doesn't looked sad.

Lumapit sakin si Drake.

"Gusto ko sanang sigawan ka sabay walk out. Kaya lang, kung gagawin ko yun baka hindi na tayo magka ayos kasi... Hindi na kita makikita." he said, sadness evident in his eyes.

"Gusto ko sanang sabihin sayo na ang corny ng joke mo, kaya lang baka sigawan mo ako at sigawan lang din kita kasi nga corny nga yang joke mong yan. Pero naisip ko din na, pano nga kung seryoso ka? Nasigawan pa kita bago mo kami iwanan. Lugi ako pag nagkataon. Mas gugustuhin ko pang lambingin ka na lang kesa sigawan." nakangiti pero maririnig mo na may lungkot sa tono ng boses ni Xander.

Hindi ko napigilan na mapangiti sa sinabi ng lalaking to. What? You can't blame me. It's too touchy. And it came from this guys' mouth. It's an honor you know? Few girls recieved that, I mean only selected girls can reacieve that lines. Hihi.
