Samonte Series 3; Her Not Gay P.A

Chapter 37

The Truth

Nakayuko ang ulo ni Xeldre habang pinaglalaruan ang kanyang sariling mga daliri. She is next to John Paul while Clark is in front of them who's watching the two of them intently. She couldn't lift her gaze because she is afraid that her eyes would meet Clark's. Akala niya ay kaya na niya itong kausapin patungkol sa tagpo nila ni Jp na nadatnan nito kanina pero hindi pala, hindi pa niya kaya.

But actually, she was very grateful to Clark because even though he caught her cheating, he didn't make a fuss. They just took Johniela to her room before they faced each other in the living room of the house where they are right now. Tanging ang malamlam na sinag lang ng buwan ang nagsisilbing ilaw nila, mas mabuti narin iyon dahil sa totoo lang ay wala siyang mukha na maihaharap kay Clark.

Nanlalamig ang kanyang mga kamay, ramdam niya rin ang pamumutla ng kanyang mukha at mas lalong naririnig niya nang malakas ang tibok ng kanyang puso. She had never tried to cheat in a relationship at mas lalong sa tanang buhay niya ay ngayon lamang siya napunta sa ganitong sitwasyon kaya hindi niya alam kung paano kakausapin si Clark. He didn't know where to start.

Not until John Paul held out her hand.

"Dude, please hear us out."   panimula ni John Paul na ikinahagip niya ng hininga.

Fuck, kinakabahan siya sa mga mangyayari.

"Go on, I will listen."   tugon ni Clark na wala man lang kahit na anong emosyon na makikita sa mukha nito.

"First of all, I want to apologize if we come to this point. I don't really intend to ruin other people's relationships."

"But dude, I want you to know that Xeldre and I love each other. He loves me and I love him."   matigas na turan pa ni Jp.

"And no matter what happens I will never give up the woman I love, I will never give up my love for her. Hinding-hindi na."   dagdag pa nito tsaka marahang pinisil ang kamay niya na hawak ng kamay nito.

Her heart suddenly pounded as she listened to Jp's words as if it were music to her ears. Bigla na lamang siyang nakaramdam ng kung anong kiliti sa kaibuturan niya, animo'y lubos na nagagalak ang puso niya dahil sa mga binibitawang salita ng huli lalo pa't nakikita niya ang sinsiredad sa mga mata ni John Paul. Shit, he is so fucking sweet that makes her be thrilled.

"Straighten up what you mean."   ani Clark.

"I don't have anything else to mean, I just want you to know that I'm ready to do everything for Xeldre. If I have to accept all the blows from you and from her family, then I will. If you want to beat me, slander me in public it's okay with me."   tugon ng lalaking katabi niya.

"Just please let us be happy, Clark Devinson."

"Is that all you can say, John Paul Saltino?"

"Dude, I love him so much so I'm begging you to let go of Xeldre and let us be happy with each other."

"What if I don't want to?"   animo'y naghahamong tanong ni Clark na ikinasikip ng dibdib niya.

She could feel the tension between them.

"Then I can do nothing but destroy the relationship between the two of you."   desididong tugon ni Jp.

"Don't you see that our relationship is already broken? It's because of you, Saltino."

"Clark, a-ako ang may kasalanan. Please don't blame Jp, I'm to blame for this. Handa kong akuin lahat ng kasalanan ko, handa akong lumuhod sa harapan mo mapatawad mo lang ako."   lumuluhang sabad niya.

Sa wakas ay nagawa niya ring makapagsalita na naging dahilan para sa kanya mabaling ang tingin ng dalawa. Mas mabuti narin na sa kanya nabaling ang atensyon ng mga ito, to avoid tension between John Paul and Clark. Isa pa, she really should be the one to fix this problem because they wouldn't be in this situation if it wasn't for her. Kailangang siya mismo ang umayos sa problemang ito.
