Unloving Lukas

Simula

I looked at her this time and sighed.
God, how can I tell her that I don't want a talk?

"Fine. I'll get going."

Umalis na siya na hindi naman mukhang affected sa ginawa ko. Ang weird din ng babaeng ito.
Atleast I wont need to hurt her with my words. I stayed outside for few minutes and think more of Tres.

What are you doing to me?
Why are you doing this to me?
How do you do this to me?
Question that will stay a question if I'll keep holding back. But I can't go on and hit on her. I wont scare her like that.

I am always composed, I never let my guard down especially when she's around.
She always fives me the vibe of "You have to guard your own heart from me." each time she looks at me.
I always find it hard to understand.

This is driving me crazy.
Maybe, I'll still take my time for now and hope that she won't get a boyfriend? Poor me.

"I'm going, beep me when you're home."

Uuwi na siya? Ang aga pa yata?
Nag mamadali akong pumasok sa loob para hanapin siya.

"Uuwi ka na? Sumabay kana sa akin." I told her.

Nakasalubong ko siya malapit sa exit door.

"No thanks, already called a cab. Ingat kayo pag uwi."

I am rejected right there and then. She walked away, without waiting for my response.
She sure is an independent woman.
I'll let her go this time.

"Plate No. MPC 0615. Mirage Gray."

A message from the guard.
I know she'll sent us a message once she's home. I just need to wait for twenty to thirty minutes.

"Lasing na ba si Aki? Bakit parang gusto na pumatay niyan sa tingin?" Pang bubuska ni DK.
I saw Lori talking someone from the Engineering Department. The guy is a family friend.

Kapag di tumigil tong isang to siya ang mapapatay talaga ni Aki.

"Umuwi na si Tres, Miko?"
Tanong ni Aena.

"Yeah."
Tipid namang tugon ng kumag na si Miko.

"Ano pang ginagawa niyo Lukas dito? Wala na naman pala yung binabantayan niyo?"

Tahimik kami pareho ni Miko.
Hindi ko alam kung ano ang rason niya kung bakit nandito pa siya. Pero ako nag hihintay lang na mag message si Tres na nasa bahay na sya so I can go home. At hindi ko 'yun sasabihin sa kanila.

"Ang dami mo namang tanong Aena."

"Shut up Migo!"

When my phone beeped I immediately checked it.

"Home. Be safe."

"I'll go." saad ni Miko at tuluyan ng umalis.

Mukhang pareho pa pala kami ng hinihintay kaya kami nandito pa.
Mas malapit nga naman ito kay Tres if ever may mangyari kaysa umuwi kami sa mga condo namin at doon mag hintay ng message.

Gusto mo din ba si Tres, Miko?
Ano bang meron sa inyong dalawa?
Ayoko namang mag-away pa tayo dahil kay Tres, baka lalong sumakit ulo 'non sa atin.

"Wala na bang mas ikukunot 'yang noo mo Lukas?"

Palatak ni DK.

"Shut up."
I fired back.

"Mukhang pareho kayo ni Miko ng taong gusto. Paano na kaya 'yan?" Tatawa-tawang saad ni DK

"Ang tanong sino kaya ang pipiliin ni Tres kung magkataong totoo ang sinasabi ng kumag na to?" Naiiling na sabat ni Aki.
