Treacherous Heart

Chapter 19

Sayaw

Nagising na lamang akong nasa silid na ni Kali, his familiar scent lingers on the bed, kaya napasarap any tulog ko. I wonder where he slept last night dahil sa silid na tinutuluyan ko'y naroon si Aria, you can't expect me to sleep with Aria after what happened. Baka mapatay ko siya.

Nagdadalawang isip akong lalabas na ba o mananatili na muna sa silid, but after smelling the cooked bacon and egg ay nakaramdam naman agad ang sikmura ko ng pagkagutom.

“Gising ka na pala, tara kain!" It was Kali, walking towards me. Napangiti naman ako sa kulot nitong buhok.

Broccoli. I mumbled, na mukhang nakuha niya naman agad ang sinabi ko at tumawa na lamang saka ako hinila palapit sakanya.

“Aray!" I shouted saka pinalo ang kanang braso nito para bitiwan ang dalawang pisngi ko.

“Good morning!" Ngising bati nito kahit late na, dapat kanina pa yan.

“Bwesit ka!" Sagot ko rito na hinihimas ang dalawang pisngi saka siya nagawang lagpasan. Karina was already sitting right beside Aria.

“Magmumog ka na muna kaya? Amoy panis na laway ka pa lakas ng loob manigaw nyenye!"

Can',t he read the atmosphere here? Sarap batukan lakas ng tama! Hindi ko na ito pinansin pa saka naupo na para kumain.

It was near lunch so I started to pack up Kali's lunch dahil ihahatid ko ito. Gumagawa lamang ako ng paraan just to be away from my sister.

“Karina, ihahatid ko na muna baon ng kuya mo. Babalik din ako agad"

“Sigi ate, ingat ka"

Tanging tango lang ang nagawa kong sagot dahil sa tingin na pinupukaw ng bruha na katabi lamang ni Karina. Nagmadali na akong lumabas mahirap na walang maabutang tricycle lalo pa't oras ng tanghalian.

“Aice..."

Ayoko na sanang lingunin pa ngunit nagawa nitong hablutin ang kamay ko papaharap sakanya. Ano bang problema niya?

“What?" I coldly ask her, ngunit nakayuko lamang ito. What the hell?!

“I wanted to say sorry for what happened last night, I am very sorry for everything that I did. Ginawa ko lamang iyon dahil kay mommy, just to feel her love and affection towards me."

“You already did what you needed to do for the sake of your mom, pero hindi maaalis ng sorry mo ang ginawa ninyo saakin. Don't expect na ganon lang kita kadaling mapatawad, just because you're my sister"

Akma na akong aalis ngunit pinigilan naman niya ako, I need to go dahil pakiramdam ko mawawasak na ako ng tuluyan, she just betrayed me! For pete's sake!

“Patawarin mo sana ako Aice, after what you have done to me nagpapasalamat ako roon, sa kaonting panahon na naging magkaibigan tayo. Maraming salamat sa lahat, nawa'y balang araw magawa mo akong patawarin, mahal kita Aice"

I was left dumbfounded, para akong nawalan ng lakas na humakbang, wala na rin si Aria sa harap ko. I tried my very best to stat focus.

Kali
:San ka na? I'm hungry na :<

After reading his text ay nagmadali na lamang ako sa paglalakad dahil wala akong makitang masasakyan.

“Aice?!"

Nagulat ako sa lalaking humarang saakin, the time I place my stare at him ay naalala ko na kung sino siya, Addie. He was holding a drink, my favorite kind of drink, chuckie.

“Where you heading? Hatid na kita"

“Sure!" Hindi na ako tumanggi pa dahil gutom ang na si Kali nakakaawa naman.

After a few minutes ride na nakarating din ako ng ligtas. I texted Kali na nasa labas na ako.

“Maraming salamat Addie"

“You're welcome, sinong pupuntahan mo dito?"

“Si Kali, hahatiran ko ng lunch"

“Oh? Is that so, andyan na na siya"

Kumaway naman ako kay Kali nakakalabas lang, he looks so piss off, dahil ba sa gutom? Hindi ko naman sinadyang mahuli, may paepal lang kasi.

“Kanina pa kita hinihintay, sana nagtext ka man lang" he was cold, I didn't do anything.

“Ah si Addie, nadaanan niya akong naghahanap ng masasakyan. Here's your lunch" Inabot ko na ito sakanya para makaalis na ako, I was not in the right mood at thi time.

Hinila na ako nito papasok ng building, sa pagmamdali ay nagawa kong isigaw nalang kay Addie ang pagpapasalamat at kumaway lang itong tumatawa.

“Kumain ka na? Bat ka ba kasi natagalan?"

“Kinausap pa ako ng kapatid ko"

“Ohhh...kapatid. You okay?"

Hindi ko na nagawang sagutin pa ang katanungan nito, but he offered me drink, chuckie . Natatawa akong kinuha ito saka nagpasalamat. Nasa may garden kami ngayon at kumakain kahit ilang beses ko ng sinabing ubusin niya lang, ayaw akong pauwiin na walang laman ang tyan.

I was busy sipping my drink nanh tumikhim ito kaya tinaasan ko na lang ng kilay. Kinuha nito ang cellphone saka may pinatugtog na kanta, I bit lower lip realizing the song, our song.

Akala ko may lyrics ngunit wala, it was a pure instrumental music of with a smile.

“May I have a dance?" Natatawa ako sakanya dahil nakabend pa ito at nakayuko na para bang nasa totoong event kami. Nilapag ko ang inumin saka tumayo, tulad niya'y nagawa ko rin mag-bow habang ang isang paa'y nasa likuran, at mga kamay nakahawak saaking pants na akala mo'y gown.

“Sure!" Saka ko marahang nilapag ang kanang kamay sa nakaabang nito palad.

He put his hand on my  waist saka ko naman nilapag ang kamay sa mga braso. I can't stop myself from grinning, this one of the best days after what happened to my life. His one of the best thing I had, just like a fine view that heave bestowed, and I couldn't ask for more.

We were swaying in a very slow motion, we were enjoying every bit of the time until the music drop. Tumigil rin kaming dalawa, we're starting to each other as if memorizing every inch of our face, just like we're  afraid that we might forget it later.

“I don't know what might happen to tomorrow, for I don't hold the time. Hindi natin alam kung saan tayo patungong dalawa, we might lose our way back, pero ipapangako ko sayong I'll find a way just to get back to you, Aice. "

Tulala lamang ako sa sinabi nito, scared I might heard it wrong or I might wake up from this beautiful dream.

“I love you for who you are, the way you are. I love every inch of you. I can not promise you that I can be perfect partner but I can promise you, I will devote my love for you and only you"

Walang namutawing salita muka saakin, I was staring at him, my universe.

“Why you crying? " Ikinulong ako nito sa bisig niya habang binubulong mga katagang, “Mahal kita"

I could hear a whistle and applause, saka ko lang napagtanto na pinagtitinginan kami ng mga katrabaho nito at ang amo nito.

“Congrats!"

“I didn't intend to do it like this, bigla ko nalang naisipan. Pasensya na Aice ha, wala lang akong sapat na pera para paghandaan to" Umiling ako sinabi nito, hindi naman mahalaga yun.

“Will you be my girlfriend?" Sa ilalim ng matandang puno, sa paligid na mga makukulay na mga bulaklak at sa harap ng madla, I said yes to man whom I cherish the most.

Muli ako nitong isinayaw but this time he was the one who is humming for us to have music.

“I want to keep you here in my arms and hold with my warmest embrace"

Then he kisses my forehead.
