Chapter 34
Kumunot agad ang noo ko sa sinabi niya, "Excuse me? You're gonna say that like it's not a big deal, huh?"
"I'm sorry, I was just wonder—"
"Stop, it's not gonna happen, Lucas. It's been seven years already, stop acting like you haven't moved on." I rolled my eyes.
"Well, that's because I never did." he straightforwardly answered.
My lips parted with my brows furrowed, our eyes locked together.
'That's because I never did.'
What he said, kept on running around my head— how could he not?
I don't know how I should feel. Parang kararating ko lang dito kanina tapos ngayon kausap ko na agad siya. At ito pang pinag-uusapan namin ay tungkol sa relasyon namin dati.
It's so overwhelming, parang masyadong mabilis 'toh. How could he just bring it up without even sugar coating it.
I rolled my eyes then I sighed, "Let's stop talking about this. It doesn't make any sense. If there would be rumors then I'll be silent. It's not like it's a big deal."
"What about—"
I cut him off, "Stop, please. We should stop. We're only here because we're neighbors, right? I won't be permanently living here, Nathan. I only went here to finish my residency, nothing more." I briefly explained.
Jade is right. I'm only here for my residency. Nothing more.
He let out a sigh, looking gloomy and disappointed. "I'm sorry,"
"It's alright, let's eat?" I asked.
"Yeah," he answered, not even throwing a glance at me. He looks... defeated.
He was silent the whole time. After we ate, we just headed to the bank, because I told him that I needed to talk to someone about my card and after I finally got to withdraw money so I could start buying food for myself and some things that I'll be needing.
Yung hospital naman nagbabayad ng fees ko sa condo ko kaya 'di ko na problema 'yon. Baka bukas na lang rin ako mamili ng mga pagkain dahil pagod pa rin ang katawan ko.
"Are we gonna head back now?" tanong ko nang makabalik kami ng sasakyan pagkatapos kong mag withdraw.
He looked so down, and serious when we left the cafe earlier... and I think I have the answer.
"Do you still have to go somewhere? Grocery?" he asked.
"I'll probably do that tomorrow." I told him. "You?" I asked.
