Chapter Sixteen | The Contract
Chess' Pov:
Woah. That dream was so intense. I can't believe it kasi It feels so real. Jusko. Feeling ko talaga na ginawa namin yun. Hindi ako makapaniwalang magkakaroon ako ng panaginip na pareho 'nun. Si Rude kasi. Hayys. He alss told me na nakatulog daw ako kaya hindi daw siay nakatapos sa kung ano mang ritual na yun ang gusto niyang gawin ko through phone.
"Erase – Erase!" I yelled all of a sudden. I started slapping my cheeks just so I could stop thinking about it again. Naku.
Bigla naman napatingin ang mga tao sa paligid ko. Nasa library pala ako ngayon. "Uh, Sorry." I hid myself with my book. Namumula ako, habang pinagpatuloy ang pagbabasa ng libro ko.
I decided to go to school today even though nagpe-prepare na ang school for the coming graduation – Our graduation. Because I wanted to read a new book, usually kasi nauuna ang school sa mga bagong libro especially sa mga novels. So I decided na tumambay dito muna. Dinivert ko na ang sarili ko sa pagbabasa nang may kumalabit sa akin. "Hey Chess." Tumingin ako sa taong kumalabit sa akin. Si Onxiel pala, may dalang dalawang mabibigat na libro.
I wanted to stay away from Onxiel. Kasi I keep regretting about the kiss that happened days ago. I distanced my self away from him atsaka nagcontinue na magbasa.
Pero lumapit mismo ito sa akin at naupo sa tabi ko, I realized we were actually quite far from the public, sa kasulok-sulukan pala kaming dalawa ng library. "Chess, are you okay?" Tanong nito bigla sa akin. He noticed I was distancing my self away from him.
"Ah – eh, Oo naman." I didn't dare look at him at saka nagcontinue nalang na magbasa. But he held my face and turned to look at him. "B-bitawan mo –".
"Tell me, was it about that kiss?" He was serious, our faces are both inches apart already.I can feel his breath. "Look..." binitawan na niya ako at napasapo ng kaniyang noo. "I'm sorry."
Tahimik akong tumayo at pumunta sa last section ng mga libro, walang mga tao. I wanted to distract him pero nahuli niya ako. Nakatayo siya sa harap ko, hinarang niya ako gamit ng mga kamay niya sa bookshelf. He looked at me straight in the eye. Magsasalita pa sana ako pero he cut me off.
"Please don't make this hard for me." His voice was... sad. "I –" he looked shyly at me, "I like you." It surprised me. Ba't siya magkakagusto sa katulad ka? Andaming tao na naiirita sa akin dahil daw pabebe ako.
There was just a minute of silence.
"I really do. I know mali yun, pero –"
This time its my turn to cut him off, "Alam mo naman na kami ni Rude diba?" Sagot ko sa kaniya, napataas ang boses ko. Galit ako, kasi bakit ba siya susulpot ng ganito? In fact I don't even know him that well.
"Y-you don't know Rude. We've been friends for five years already."
"What do you mean?" The tension between the two of us started rising up.
"I need to tell you this," he trailed off, "Its about Rude."
"Oh?"
"I just don't like seeing you like this, I guess you also deserve to know the truth." He answered seriously, still looking away.
"Pero ano?" Bigla sumalubong ang mga kilay ko. Naiirita na ako.
"The reason why Rude is in the States is because.." he paused. "He's meeting his Mom, he probably met her already." Mama niya? Akala ko wala na yung mama ni Rude?
