Never Stopped Loving You ✓

chapter 13

I couldn't even believe it myself. Kahit sino naman hinding hindi makakapaniwala na si Kiesha, the Student Council Vice President out of all people ang makakagawa ng isang malaking kasalanan, hindi lamang kay Arianne ngunit sa school din.

Forget about the fucking Student Council Meeting, kailangan ko talagang kausapin ang babaeng iyon lalo't pang bu-bully ang kanyang ginagawa. And the fact that she's a Student Council member herself is absolutely embarrassing.

It felt like sinagot na nga ng Panginoon ang aking kahilingan ng makita ko si Kiesha, a satisfied smile on her face. And from that alam ko na talaga na may sinaktan siya. Lalo't alam ko pa noong unang pag-ka alam niya na may gusto ako kay Arianne, siya na 'yung kanyang tinatarget.

“Kiesha.” I called her name as she looked at me, as if wala kaming pinag-usapan noon.

“Can we talk, please?”

I inquired as she nodded, seemingly desperate and not scared. Hindi niya siguro alam na aware na ko sa katotohanan at ang ginawa niya kay Arianne.

“Ano ang ating pag-uusapan, Ced?”

Her inquiry left me angered.

“Bakit mo ginawa 'yon?” tanong ko, my tone serious, harsh, and cold. And it seemed to freak her out like a kitten.

“A-Ang alin?”

“Stop trying to act like you're the victim here. Alam mo ang ginawa mo kay Arianne.”

I saw on how her eyes widened, at parang naging lambutin siya. Hindi na siya nakaimik, and with her silence I already knew from a fact that she was the one guilty for what she did to Arianne.

“Seriously, Kiesha? Student Council Vice President ka tapos gagawin mo pa 'yon?!”

I yelled, I never thought na magkakaroon ng side na ganito si kiesha. This wasn't the kiesha that I've always cared for noong bata kami. Akala ko talaga siya ay inosenteng babae na may malinis na puri, ngunit dahil sa selos ay tuluyan na siyang nadumihan.

“You do realize na maaring masaktan si Arianne, right? Hindi nga siya nakaattend kanina sa klase tapos malalaman ko na lamang na ikaw pala ang naglock kay Arianne sa storage room!?”

I vented my frustrations out. Ang hirap hirap naman kasi niyang pakiusapan! Kahit pagsabihan niya man ako ng masama, ayos laang 'yon sa'akin basta 'wag lamang niya sana idamay si Arianne. Pero hindi e.

“Tapos binuhusan mo pa siya ng tubig! What on earth is wrong with you, Kieshana?!”

I continued to throw words at her as she remained quiet, as much as I don't even want to yell at her, she was  already crossing the line.

“Haven't I made myself clear before already? Kailangan ko ba talagang ulit ulitin ang aking mga sinasabi para lamang ikaw ay matauhan?!”

“How could you do this, Kiesha?

Tanong ko, as I was breathing heavily, but I wasn't even finished yet.

“Bakit ang hirap mong umunawa? Bakit? Ha? Ginawa mo ba 'yon dahil naiinggit ka kay Arianne because I'm courting her?!”

“Oo!” sigaw niya sa'akin.

“Ginawa ko 'yon dahil hindi ko matanggap that you decided to choose that girl over me!”

My eyebrows were furrowed. Here we go again, ang away na naman namin. Paulit ulit na lamang e. We can't even have a proper conversation ng hindi nag-aaway at nagsasagutan.

“Seriously, Ced! Ang sakit talaga para sa'akin!”

“Ang hirap!”

“Kaya putangina! Sana nalamang nilunod ko na siya! Putangina talaga! Nakakasura na!”
