Starting over again [Under Major Editting]

Chapter 2: Selos o galit?

Ella.

A new day is a new start but last night, it was just me and my entire room that witnessed the flood stream of my tears. I was just sitting on the floor, hugging my knees and started to sob silently. I don't know how long I've been crying. All I know was, I cried my heart out, all the pain, the sadness and the fact that he is not mine anymore. And I made a promise to myself that last night will be the last time that I will cry over Ken.

Two years was not easy to forget, to throw it all away as if it was just nothing. Yes, our relationship longed for two years. And yet, just a blink of an eye, he's said that he don't love me anymore, just like that.

I sighed deeply before getting out of my apartment. I know that Jay is waiting for me outside. And here I am, can't hide my swollen eyes.

"Good Morning Ella. Jay, at your service." I see twinkle in his eyes. He gently opens the door of his car for me.

"Foundation day lang naman ng school ngayon, bakit kailangan mo pang dalhin itong alaga mo?" I was talking about his car.

"Para sikat, first time kong papasok ng school na kasama ang aking binibini," naramdaman kong namula ang aking mukha.

Dagdag pogi points kasi para sa akin ang mga lalaking malalalim ang salitang binibigkas. Parang ang gwapo lang ng isang lalaki kapag nag-salita sila nang matatalinghagang salita. And I also find it really cute.

"Ang cute mo kapag nag-blush, para kang kamatis," nahampas ko siya sa braso nang wala sa oras dahil sa sinabi niya na ikinahiya ko lalo.

"'Wag ka nga. Pinapansin mo pa, e," sabi ko habang nakayuko. Ramdam ko na rin ang pag-init ng tainga ko.

"Your ears also turns red, ang cute." Naramdaman ko na lang na hinawakan na niya ang tainga ko.

"Jay, may kiliti ako riyan," sabi ko na natatawa dahil sa kiliting naramdaman ko mula sa pagkakahawak niya sa tainga ko. Narinig ko naman ang pagtawa niya.

"Seriously?" tanong niya in a manly voice tone.

"Hahaha. Ikaw pa lang ang lalaking humawak sa tainga ko. Even Ken, didn't do that," I shouldn't be mentioning his name.

"Sorry, hindi ko na dapat binabanggit pa ang pangalan niya." Hinging paumanhin ko kay Jay.

"Okay lang sa 'kin iyon, mahal na binibini. So let's have a deal...tuwing bibigkasin mo ang pangalan niya, bibigyan mo 'ko ng isang halik." I see a grinned on his face and continued talking... "Isang halik sa labi."

"Seryoso ka?" Gulat na tanong ko sa kanya and then he just gave me a nod. So it means, he's serious about it.

"Huwag mo nga akong pinagloloko Mr. Willford. Imposibleng hindi ko mabanggit ang pangalan ni Ken kasi---" I didn't continue a word because I just felt his lips into mine. Mabilis lang na halik pero naramdaman ko ang lambot ng labi niya.

"I told you. Don't you dare say his name again. And the next time I hear you mention it, I will kiss you hard as I can," I was caught off guard of what he did so I was just blankly staring at him and suddenly I felt a poke on my nose. Which leads me back to reality.

I placed my right hand in front of my chest and believe me. I felt the 'dabadaba doo' in my chest. And the next thing I knew the anaconda inside my tummy is starting to freak out.

I know, I shouldn't feel this way. Siguro masiyado lang akong nabibigla sa mga bagay-bagay, sa mga pangyayari. And I am pretty sure that Jay Willford will help me get over Ken.

"Sir Jay, nandito na po tayo," the driver break the silence.

Jay immediately run off the car and go straight to my side door and he opened it. He held my hand and I hear whispers everywhere, gossip is the right term for it. They are just like hungry bees.

What's the big deal seeing with Jay Willford with me? Oh, I forgot to mention that Jay, well... he's carrying a big name well you see, his family has the big share holdings in our school and also owns one of the charity programs.

And Ken, he's the second to the richest student inside our campus. Maybe students around us wondering why Jay is with me and Ken is not around.

Well, 'di ko masisisi ang mga estudyante sa paligid, pareho ba namang gwapo ang lalaking parte ng buhay ko. Jay is a 6' footer. At ako? Nanliliit ako! My goodness, hiyang-hiya 'yung height ko dahil hanggang balikat lang ata niya ako at si Ken? He is not that tall as Jay, maybe he's about 5'8.

And speaking of Ken, he is standing not so far from us. He is standing beside Lira. And here I am again, feeling that same pain on my chest again just like last night. And I just close my fist to compose myself to control what I'm feeling.

No, not again Ella. Not this time. Not in front of the guy whom you loved so much and hurt you at the end.

I was surprised when I felt warm in my hands, and when I looked whom was it... it was Jay's. He's the one holding my hands and he smiled at me and started to walked away from the crowd but suddenly stopped.

No Jay...please, no. Don't talk to him.

"Best friend!" He tap Ken's shoulders.

"Sinundo ko si Ella. Nga pala nililigawan ko na siya," Jay said and I froze to his statement for a second and I was waiting for Ken's reactions as well.

"Ow, okay... good luck bro," sabi niya kay Jay na para bang wala lang ito para sa kanya. "Oh, before I forget, she's Lira," pakilala niya sa babae habang nakangiting nakatingin dito na dati-rati ay sa akin niya lamang iyon ginagawa at ipinapakita. "My fiancee."

Sa huling mga katagang sinabi niya, parang tumigil sa pag-ikot ang mundo. Ibig sabihin ba nito... matagal na niyang balak na makipaghiwalay sa 'kin para maging officially free na siya. Para maging malaya na silang magkakasama? At watdapak! We just broke up yesterday. At ito na agad ang bumungad sa 'kin?!?

Naramdaman ko namang humigpit ang hawak ni Jay sa kamay ko. Alam kong nararamdaman niyang nasasaktan na ako. Humawak ako sa balikat niya at inilapit ang labi ko sa tainga niya.

"Jay please ilayo mo na ako rito. Please," I whispered and I heard him chuckled.

"How sweet binibini. I love you too." and he pinch my cheeks.

"Bro, excuse me lang, a. Nagugutom na raw kasi ang aking mahal na prinsesa. Mahirap nang magutom 'to, nangangain, e," I heard him chuckled again. Silly Jay.

Bago pa man kami makalayo nang tuluyan ni Jay.... nakita ko ang mahigpit na pagsara ng mga kamao ni Ken. Nagseselos ba siya? Siguro naman hindi? Siguro naiinis siya dahil napatunayan niya lang na may namamagitan nga sa amin ng best friend niya na wala naman talaga. Pero bakit siya pa ang may ganang magalit? Ako ang dapat magalit dahil wala pang isang araw at malalaman ko na may Fiancee na siya!?! I can't believe him! Nakakainis!
