Heartbreak Hotline [ON GOING]

Chapter XVIII - Black is the new pink

"H-Huh? K-Kaboses lang yun. Wala lang yun." I said. Gosh, sana maiba na yung topic. Sana wag n'yang maisip bigla yung Heartbreak Hotline.

"Maybe.. Wala. Tama ka. Kaboses lang yun. Ang weird lang kasi.. Yung kaboses mo kasi.. Basta. Kalimutan na natin yun." Aniya. Tingin ko ay naisip na n'ya yung Heartbreak Hotline.

"It's funny. Everytime I'm feeling sad, lagi kang andyan." I said and looked at him while smiling. He's a really nice guy.

"Baka ginawa ako para i-comfort ka." He said and laughed. Tumawa na lang din ako kahit sa totoo lang ay hindi naman ako natatawa.

"Caleb.." Tawag ko sakanya kaya tumingin s'ya. "Thank you. For showing concern and care. You're a really nice guy. Shame on Regina for breaking your heart." Napansin ko na medyo sumama ang mukha n'ya nang banggitin ko si Regina. "S-Sorry."

"No. It's okay. Let's face the reality. She broke my heart. Pero.. Tapos na ako dun. Wala na akong gusto kay Regina. Sinayang n'ya lang lahat ng ginawa ko sakanya." He said, masama parin ang mukha.

"I admire you, Caleb. Nung time na kayo pa ni Regina.. You fought for her. I really admire guys who fight for their girl. Ganun talaga ang lalaki kapag seryoso." Napayuko ako pagkasabi ko n'yan.

"Hey, Brynn, listen to me," He said at hinawakan ako sa magkabilang balikat para iharap sakanya, "Axl fought for you too. Maybe not strong enough but he did. Seryoso s'ya sayo, Brianna. Sobra. Kaya nga kahit naging sila ni Gretchen, ikaw parin ang nasa isip n'ya. Hanggang ngayon hindi ka parin n'ya makalimutan."

Nginitian ko lang s'ya dahil sa sinabi n'ya. "You're always the guy who comforts me." I said and laughed. He laughed too.

"Told you I was born to make you feel happy." He said and smiled. Goshh!! Ang bilis-bilis ng tibok ng puso ko!!! Kyaaaaahhhhhh!!!

"Hey, Caleb.. Just one question. Did.. Did I really change a lot? M-Masyado na ba akong masama?" Tanong ko sakanya. I just want to hear it from him. Baka kasi pag s'ya ang nagsabi na sobra na ako, baka dun ko maisipan magbago. I'll change for him.

"You're still the sweetest girl for me. Para sa'kin, ikaw parin si Brianna, yung babaeng pumigil sa'kin nung balak kong tumalon sa rooftop. Para sa'kin, mabait ka parin." Aniya. Nginitian ko s'ya dahil sa sinabi n'ya. That's..... That's so sweet of him.

"K-Kung gano'n.. Bakit andaming naninibago sa'kin? Sila Mary, pati na rin sila lola."

"Ewan. Nagbago ka pero para sa'kin mabait ka parin. Kasi yun ang lagi mong pinapakita sa'kin. Ewan ko lang sa kung anong nakikita nila sa'yo but I've always seen the good side of you. That's why I know that you're not a monster like Regina. Pero tingin ko ay dapat ka ng umiwas sakanila. Natatakot ako na.... Na magaya ka sakanila. You're too kind, Brynn. 'Wag mo hayaang mahawaan ka ng ugali nila." That's what he said. He.. He always saw the good side of me... Why is he doing this to me? Why is he making me feel this way?

"Y-You're too kind, too. Yung effort mo palang na ginawa kay Regina nung first month n'yo grabe na eh. Imagine? Nagbayad ka ng malaki sa BreadNBrew para sa---"
