*Be Ready My Butler*

[39] Plan

"Look at your hand. It's bleeding"  pinaupo ko sya sa upuan at kinuha ko ang panyo ko at pinulupot ko iyon sa kamay nya. "Ano bang problema mo at nagpapakalasing ka?" tanong ko sa kanya

"What are you doing here?" napatigil ako.

Bakit nga ba? Ahh. Oo nga pala. I'm here to do my plan but I exactly don't know my plan. Seriously?

"Napadaan lang ako dito dahil may pinuntahan ako dito"

He sighed. He seemed so depressed.

And that's good.

"Do you have a problem?" malumanay kong tanong. He looked at me.

"Is that really a question?" he asked, I nod.

"Don't pretend that nothing happened between us" he said

I fake a laugh. "Of course I won't forget that. How can I forget that if it hurts me a million times?" then the pain appeared again "Wait. Is that your problem?"

He just looked at me. "Or your problem is, your mission is failed? Then try it again" 

"Mizel..."

"Stop calling my name jerk." Tatayo na sana ako pero hinila nya ako paupo at niyakap.

Napatigil naman ako. His hug is a pain.

"I'm sorry Mizel. I'm sorry that I hurt you so much. Please....please forgive me." Then another tear fell in my eyes.

"Do you really love me?" I asked him

"Yes. I love you so much"

I smiled. 

Kumawala ako sa yakap nya.

"Then ready yourself. You'll feel the pain I felt." I stand and walked through the door. But before I closed the door I gave my last words to him.

"Be ready my butler, be ready to be killed" then I gently closed the door.

"Good morning Mizel!" bati sa akin ni Cha pagkapasok na pagkapasok ko ng classroom namin.

"Good morning" bati ko naman sa kanya.

Dumaretso ako sa upuan ko at nag-review ng mga notes. 2 weeks na pala ako dito sa PBU. Kala ko mahihirapan akong maka-adopt dito but thanks to my classmates, I really felt that I suited here.

"JM" tawag ko sa katabi ko.  Hindi nya ako pinansin, nakasaksak kasi yung earphone nya sa tenga nya.

"Mukha kang tanga dyan" prankang sabi ko sa kanya, saka naman sya lumingon.

Last week kasi napansin kong naka-earphone nga sya pero wala namang cellphone or kahit anong gadget na nasa bulsa nya.

Nginitian ko sya. "Pwede favor?" Hindi pa kami ganon ka-close pero ito ako humihingi agad ng favor. At sa tingin ko naman di kami magiging close kung hindi ko pa sya kakausapin. He's so quite.

"What?" sawakas nagsalita ang pipe.

"Date tayo?" 

"The hell?"

"Or punta nalang ako sa inyo?"

"Look, we're not close so stop talking to me"

"I'm trying to be close to you, so please appreciate it."

He sighed "Go away"

Ganto ba taalga to? =_______=

Napansin ko namang nakatingin sa akin yung mga classmates ko.

Ano meron?

By the way. You're right. Niyayaya ko ang escort ng IV-B sa isang date. That's my plan.

Masama na kung masama but yes, I want to use JM to my plan.

"Wow! Nakausap mo si JM" bungad sa akin ni Odrey. Nakaen ako ngayon sa canteen nang lumapit sa akin yung officers ng classroom namin.

"Ummm....isa ba yong himala?" tanong ko

"Yes, isa yong himala! Alam mo bang kaming officers lang ang kinakausap non. Maybe katulad namin, komportable sya sa iyo"

"Ha? Komportable agad? E sinungitan lang naman nya ako kanina."

Tumawa si Darren "Bat mo ba sya kinausap? Ayan tuloy nasungitan ka."

"Actually matagal ko na syang kinakausap. Hindi lang talaga sya sumasagot. So nagulat rin ako kanina nung kinausap nya ako"

"Don't worry Mizel, magiging friends rin kayo non"~ Jacob

"Sana nga"

Because I need him.
