You Are My Gangster Bestfriend

Chapter 34: Friends... (Part 2)

Dustin's POV

Dinala namin tong babae sa may open field ng university, kung saan walang makakarinig ng usapan namin.

As expected, the girl became clingy as f*ck after the scene back at their college building. Nakapulupot sa braso ko yung mga kamay niya. Nang tumigil kami sa paglalakad at naupo na sa damuhan sila Jerry at Adam who's so busy looking at their phones, unti-unti ko ng tinanggal yung mga kamay niya sa braso ko at humarap ako sa kanya.

She looked puzzled with what I did.

"Look... About what I said back there—" nag-iisip palang ako ng mga tamang salita pero pinutol na niya ako. Naintindihan na niya siguro.

"I know. You only said those things out of charity. Naaawa ka lang sakin dahil sa treatment na binibigay nila, I get it. You don't f*ck a girl twice" malungkot na sabi niya. Umupo siya medyo malayo kila Jerry, umupo naman ako sa tabi niya.

"I was angry that time, I didn't mean to hurt you" mahinahon na sabi ko.

"Yeah right. I deserved it anyway. Ruining a realationship like yours" sabi niya habang nakatitig sa field. This is the first time I talked to her pero ang bigat bigat ng pakiramdam ko.

"About that, may hihingin sana akong favor sayo eh" sabi ko, napatingin siya sakin, her eyes were so sad.

"Anything to make up for what I did" tinry niyang ngumiti kahit halata naman na nasasaktan siya.

"Before I tell you my real favor, can I ask for another one first?" naiilang na tanong ko. I'm used to talking to girls but with this kind of atmosphere, it's really awkward for me 'cause it's new. I never cared for my ex's feelings.

Tumango siya.

Huminga ako ng malalim bago magpatuloy. "Can we be friends?" tanong ko. Iba kasi yung feeling eh, it feels like it's the least I can do to ease the pain I caused to her. Considering she's being bullied because of me.

"Syempre naman. That's better than being a complete stranger to you, right?" nakangiting sabi niya. For a second, it felt like she smiled a real one.

"Thanks"

"So, ano nga pala yung real favor mo?"

I sighed to gathered strength. "I'm planning to apologize to Thalia and make up with her at our college week... I need you to sing with me at the opening ceremony" mabilis na paliwanag ko, she just looked at me for few seconds na para bang iniisip kung dapat ba siyang pumayag.

"Dustin, I need to tell you something" bigla naman akong kinabahan sa sinabi niya. Yung itchura niya kasi parang kinakabahan na natatakot na ewan.

"A-ano yun?" nauutal na tanong ko.

"I just think that it's best for you to know this before you get back with Thalia" mas kinabahan ako. Ano ba kasi yun?! Pabitin masyado tong babaeng toh oh!

Huminga siya ng malalim bago magsalita.

Natulala nalang ako sa kanya dahil sa narinig ko. Para bang tumigil yung paligid pati paghinga ko tumigil sa sinabi niya.

WHAT. THE. HELL?!!

Jerry's POV

Napatayo nalang ako sa damuhan nang mareceive ko yung text ni Lance. Kasama raw ni Nick kumain yung hayup na Miranda at si Jessie!! What the?!? Inagaw na nga niya si Jessie pati ba naman kakambal ko aagawin niya?!

"Tol, emergency! I gotta go!" sabi ko. Napatingin naman si Adam sakin at nagpanic.

"Ano?!? Anong nangyari?! Tatawagin ko si Dust—"
