-psyche pov-
"psyche!" napalingon agad ako sa likod ko dahil sa tumawag sa akin, lumawak ang ngiti ko pero agad din itong naglaho dahil si sunghoon ang nakita ko.
"sunghoon.." kinuha ko ang sapatos ko sa bunganinan at tumakbo palapit sa kanya.
"nakita nyo ba si jake?" tumango sya ka agad.
"kailangan mong sumama sa akin" nagtataka akong tiningnan sya. "huh? why?"
"nasa hospital si jake" bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. "what? what happened?"
"mamaya ko na sasabihin sayo! tara na" hinatak ako ni sunghoon at agad akong sumakay sa sasakyan nya.
dahil malayo ang dagat sa hospital, hindi ako mapakali sa kinauupuan ko. "sunghoon, wala ka na ba ibibilis sa pagda drive?" huminga ako ng malalim para ikalma ang sarili ko.
inabot kami ng isang oras hanggang sa makarating kami sa hospital. i immediately run, not minding other businesses.
"sunghoon? saan ba?" nagsimula na akong maiyak dahil hindi ko makita si jake. "sumunod ka sa akin" tumango ako at sumunod sa kanya.
"sunoo ano ba!" natigil ako sa paglalakad dahil nakita ko si jake na kasama ni sunoo. nangunot ang noo ko at ilang beses akong napalingon kay sunghoon at kay sunoo at jake na natigil sa posisyon nila.
"i.. thought.." i started to feel confused. "psyche!" napalingon ako sa likod at nakita ko si heeseung, jay at jungwon kasama si ni-ki na hawak si layla. may dala pang bulaklak si jay.
"shit..." rinig kong bulong ni sunghoon sa tabi ko.
"jake!" lumapit si jay kay jake at umakbay. "kami na bahala kay layla, alis na kami" sumenyas si jay sa ibang itlog at nagsimula na silang maglakad palayo,
"ay eto nga pala ang bulaklak!" tumakbo pabalik si jay at inabot kay jake yung bouquet na kanina pa nya hawak.
ilang paa ata ang layo namin ni jake sa isa't isa hanggang sya na ang nagdesisyon na lumapit sa akin.
i started to feel weak that i just cry with both of my palm on my face.
"hey.." he gave me a hug that make me sob more.
"what happened? wala naman masamang nangyari sayo diba?" he let go of the hug.
"what? wala, may sinabi na naman ba sayo ang mga itlog? did they make a script again? dinala ko lang dito sa vet si layla kasi nagkasipon sya" he tried to explain. ngayon lang ako nagkachance ilibot ang tingin sa paligid ko.
nasa clinic nga kami ng mga animals. i am so dumb.
"why did you want to see me? huh? you miss me?" he smiled and gave me a hug again.
"did you really mean to forget me, jake? huh? why did you really avoid me? you know i didn't really mean that..." i started to sob again, and he did just brushed my hair
"i just want you to realize that your ways are wrong, and i am glad you really did now" he placed his chin on the top of my head.
"and i think you moved out together with tita now" i nodded.
"i am glad, i am sorry for meddling with your personal problems psyche, but i can't see you in pain anymore... it makes me hurt ten times" his words makes me sad more.
universe, hulog na hulog na ako sa lalaking ito. kung hindi kami para sa isa't isa, pwede bang gawaan mo na lang ng paraan?
"no.. thank you, jake" he let go of the hug and smiled at me.
"anything for you psyche"
he wiped my tears away before he held my hand and intertwined it. he pay for layla's expenses before we go out the clinic.
he keep holding my hand with the flowers with the his other hand.
"saan ang bago mong bahay? ihahatid kita" he looked down on me. "malapit sa park," he smiled and we walked together side by side.
when we reached the park, we sat down on the swing to grab some fresh air at para makapagpahinga din kami.
"jake..." he looked at me. "i am sorry for all the things i did that hurt you" he just gave me an assuring smile. i sighed and calm myself.
"and jake..." he waited for my words.
"if hindi mo man tanggapin 'tong mga sasabihin ko, naiintindihan ko, maghihintay ako hanggang sa maging handa ka, kaya ko maghintay para sayo. i promised, but jake please i want you to know i never mean whatever i said to you before because i still like-"
"i like you psyche" i felt my world stop and he is the only one i can see right now.
i blinked a lot of times, "you- what?" he stood up from sitting up on the swing and stood infront of me. napahawak ako ng maigtig sa handle ng swing para mapigilan ang sarili sa pagkahulog.
"i like you psyche, i am sorry for keep you waiting" para akong nanigas sa kinauupuan ko.
i keep looking up on him, but all i can see is the night sky as his background and his gentle face
"but i really like- no, i really love you. i really do" he slightly bend, nagpantay ang mga mata namin at agad syang napangisi.
"soulmates or not, psyche. you will always be the right person in the right time for me. i love you so much" he gently placed his lips on my forehead making me closed my eyes, until i heard he whispered
"you will always be the risk, i'll never regret fighting for"
