One Night Stand

Chapter 14: Wedding bells

Kanina pa kami andito sa restaurant pero hanggang ngayon wala pa ring nagsasalita sa amin dalawa. Pagkatapos niyang sabihin na may kailangan siyang sabihin sa akin, bumalik ulit kami sa dati.

Tahimik at walang usap man lang.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit pa niya ako inaya dito kung wala rin naman pala kaming pag-uusapan. Kung gusto lang naman niya ako makasama, pwede naman niyang sabihin.

"Jasper, ano yung sasabihin mo?"

"Pwede bang kumain muna tayo?"

Hindi ko na lang pinansin yung pagalit na boses niya. Hindi ko alam bakit ganyan siya. Simula noong nanggaling ako sa hospital, naging ganito na siya sa akin. Ano bang nagawa kong masama sa kanya?

"Jasper... ano bang problema mo? Bakit ganyan ka?"

"Wala akong problema. It's just that... hindi ko lang alam paano ko sasabihin sayo ito."

"Ano ba yun??? You could tell me. I know we're not that close, pero you always tell me anything. i'll not judge you kung yan ang iniisip mo."

"You don't understand."

"Ano ba kasi yun?"

Tumahimik lang si Jasper. Hindi naman na ako nagtanong sa kanya. I will give him time and space to think and to spill what he wants to say. Ayoko isipin niya na minamadali ko siya.

"Sheena..."

"What?"

Nagkamot lang siya ng ulo niya at halatang halata sa kanya na hindi niya alam kung saan siya magsisimulang magsalita.

"I'm not hurrying you. You can speak whenever--"

"I'm getting married."

SILENCE...

SILENCE...

SILENCE...

SILENCE...

"Please... tell me something...anything..."

I really don't know what to say. Anong gusto niyang sabihin ko?

"Please..."

"Wh---when is your we----wedding?"

"16th next week."

"Con...congratulations. I...I'm so happy for both of you."

Why is it so hard to say those things to him? I'm really happy for them. I really do. But why is it so hard? I'm having a hard time to take a breath, to think things through...

"Sheena.. please tell me you're alright. Please..."

"I'm fine, Jasper. Bakit naman magiging hindi?"

"I... I d..don't know."

"I'm just tired Jasper. I need to go home."

"Hatid na kita."

I accepted his offer just to let him see that I am fine. In fact, I really wanted to cry. I just wanted to see Kate and hug her so tight. I wanted to see my mom and dad and cry.

After 30 minutes, nakarating na rin kami sa condo. Bago ko buksan yung pinto ng car niya, hinawakan niya muna yung braso ko.

"Sheena... I'm so sorry."

"Sorry for what? For getting married? For marrying Cass? You shouldn't. You both deserve each other. You love each other, right?"

Natahimik na lang siya. Hindi na lang siya nagsalita at dahan-dahan binitawan niya yung braso ko.

"I'm happy for you Jasper. I really do."

Lumabas na ako ng kotse niya at dire-diretso na rin ako pumasok ng condo. Hindi pa ako nakakapasok ng room, binuksan na kaagad ni Kate yung pinto.

"How's your day missy.... girl.. what happened?"

"...He's getting married."
