Chapter 57

Fuck!

"P-Pablo's in his room. T-The left one. Just knock before you e-enter." I said while still not looking at him.

I hear him stood up.

"Maraming salamat Stell." wika nito at agad na nagtungo sa kwarto na itinuro ko.

Another loud thump.

I held my chest.

Tighter.

Tangina. Anong nangyayari sa'kin?!

***

To calm myself I started cooking in the kitchen. Eventhough it's too early for a lunch, I still did.

I need to avert my mind. Cause i'm going insane if i'm not.

May sakit siguro ako. Sa puso. Hindi normal ang tibok eh.

Potangina.

"Oh fuck!" I cursed because I put too much salt on the pork.

Kalma self, okay? Kalma.

I breathe in and out desperately.

I need to calm myself before I burned the whole unit down cause my body is not working properly.

Matapos kong maremedyohan ang maalat na nilaga, hinayaan ko nalang itong kumulo.

I slumped myself on the chair.

Marahan kong sinuklay ang aking buhok gamit ang aking kamay.

I want to clutch my hair so bad but I didn't do it. It will not do me any good. It may frustrates me even more.

Hays.

What is this?

What is this uneasy feeling?

I haven't felt something like this before.

It's scary...

But amusing at the same time.

Hays.

He's Ken's friend. But I didn't know that he's close to Pablo to the point that he visits him here alone.

Josh came here too but with Ken. And i'm sure if he came here with all by himself, that means he didn't do it for Pablo but for me. 

I rolled my eyes.

How come they get so close without me knowing?

Should it be fine if I leave Pablo and him alone?

Nothing will happen, would it?

I shooked my head.

I'm just being paranoid.

Yeah that's it.

I'm paranoid.

My thoughts were abrupted by the knock on the door.

Agad akong nagtungo sa pinto at pinagbuksan kung sino man ang kumatok.

"Hi Stell." it's Ken.

"Ken ikaw pala. Pasok." I replied.

Tumalima naman ito at sumunod sakin.

"Stell, si Pau?" tanong nito.

Humarap ako sa kanya at sumagot.

"Nasa kwarto niy--" I cut off what i'm going to say when I smell something.

Tangina! Yung niluluto ko!!!

"Pota!" I cursed and instantly ran off to the kitchen.

I turned off the stove and checked the stew.

Shit na malagkit talaga!!

Ubos na yung sabaw, walangya!

Ano ba naman Stell?! This is so unlike you!, I scolded myself.

I can still fixed this.

Nasa kalagitnaan ako panenermon sa sarili ng may marinig akong kalabog.

What was that?

Dali dali akong tumakbo.

Sa kwarto ni Pablo.

Naka bukas ang pinto.

Agad kong nakita si Ken na tila'y naestatwa sa kinatatayuan.

I saw the basket of fruits that he's holding a moment ago. It was broken and all are scattered on the floor.

"Ken, anong nangyari?!" I asked.

He didn't answer nor flinch even a little bit.

He just stood there. Staring at somewhere.

Dahil mukhang wala naman siyang balak sumagot, pinilit kong makapasok sa loob dahil nakaharang sya sa pinto.

What I saw made me froze as well.

"Maverick...P-Pablo...?" I mutter with too much confusion.

They're hugging...?

No.

Pablo's hugging Maverick.
