That Sudden Tibok Ng Puso [Book 1]

❤Chapter 45❤ What's Funny ?

Art's POV

I just can't stop on thinking on what happened last night. I am happy that I did it again na walang kahit sino na sumasagabal. For Kath and mine's sake, I must tell Clark to back off.

Dialling Clark...

Simula nung nagging sila ni Kath, ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng lakas na loob na tawagan siya, eventhough nasa labas lang siya ng hotel na tinitirhan namin dito sa resort. It is not that I am duwag, I just don't want to talk to him.

"Oh." He answered.

"Let's meet at the bar." i said.

"And why ?" he asked.

"I have something to tell you." i said. Then I'd ended up the phone call. Bumangon ako mula sa higaan tapos nagbihis. Pagkadating ko sa bar, nandun na siya nakaupo sa bartenders area.

"Hey." I called him. When he saw me, lumapit ako and sat beside him.

"So ano na ? Are you giving up on Kathnese ?" he said.

"Why should I ?" i said.

"Tss." He just did that.

"Give me one bottle of beer." I ordered to the bartender then he gave me a bottle of beer. Lumagok ako and faced him. "I know what's your trip to Kathnese." I said. I saw his face being shocked. "Tama ako no ? na pinagtrippan mo lang si Kath." i asked.

"Cut the crap up. It is none of your business." he said. He's guilty.

"You know what ? I don't want to see Kath together with a stupid idiot guy like you." i said. "Pero bakit pa ako mag-aalala ? eh wala na pala kayo." dagdag ko

"So what ? You want her to be yours ?" he said. At sa puntong ito, nakikita ko sa mukha niya yung galit.

"Yes. I want her to be mine. Only Mine." i said. Then I'd stared at him. At nagtitigan lang kaming dalawa. Yung titig na gustong pumatay ng tao.

"Then, let Kath decide on to whom to the both of us would she choose." he said and I think it's a good idea.

"Deal." I said.

Kath's POV

I was packing my things dahil uuwi na kami later. I just keep on thinking the things that happened last night. The things that me and Art talked about still stucks in my mind.

"Kath. Matagal ka pa ba diyan ?" tawag sa akin ni Karla.

"Malapit na ako Karl. Baba na ako." sabi ko tapos lumabas na ng kwarto. Pagkababa ko, nakita ko silang lahat. Handang handa nang umuwi.

"So, ano na ?" tanong ni Kris. "Tatayo nalang tayo dito ?" dagdag niya.

"Sabi ko nga eh, tara na." aya ni Felix sabay hawak niya sa kamay ni Karla. Ang sweet lang talaga nila eh.

Pagkalabas namin ng hotel, nakita ko agad si Arthur. I'm going to miss this guy. Kung 'di dahil sa kanya, 'di ko makikita si Art kagabi. At kung 'di din dahil sa kanya, 'di mangyayari yung nangyari kagabi. Thanks to him.

"Hey. You're going home ?" he said habang lumalapit sa amin.

"Yeah." I said and smiled at him.

"Have a Safe Trip." he said.

"Thank You." I said then we all turned back at him. Nagsimula na kaming maglakad pabalik sa Kotse pero parang nakakaramdam ako ng ngalay. Ang bigat din kasi ng dala kong bag eh.

"Let me take care of this." Clark said then he get my bag. Binigay ko nalang din, kinuha na niya eh, aayaw pa ba ako ? Tapos nagpatuloy lang kami sa paglalakad.

"Naiinitan ka na ata Fre ah." sabi ni Art sabay lapit sa akin at pinayongan niya ako.

"Yeah. You're right. Ang init nga." i just said then we continued to walk.

"Fre. Do you still remember the dance contest Felix and I joined ?" tanong niya. Bigla naman nag pop-in sa utak ko. Patuloy pa rin kami sa paglalakad.

"Oo nga Fre no." I said. Actually, nakalimutan ko talaga yung tungkol dun eh.

"When can we start practicing ?" he asked. Tanong ko lang, kasali ba ako sa sasayaw ?

"Am I included ?" I asked.

"'Di Fre eh. Pero you've promised to the both of us that you're going to watch us in our practice." he said. Did I even make a promise like that ? I can't remember.

"Hey. Felix." tawag ko kay Felix na lumingon din naman agad. Pero he's still walking while holding Karla's hand. "Did I make that promise ?" i asked.

"Oo Kath." he said. "Pero bakit sa dinami daming sakit na pwedeng angkinin, Alzheimers pa yung kinuha mo Kath. Kawawa ka naman." he added. I know that he's joking.

"Did I ? 'Di ko maalala ah." i said.

"Makakalimutin ka na niyan Fre." sabi ni Art.

"Ah basta. Nakalimutan ko talaga." i said.

"So ano ? Are we still going to continue joining ?" he asked to me. Pero di naman ako ang sasayaw ah.

"Malay ko ba. Kayo ang sasayaw, hindi ako." sabi ko ng may pakunot noo face. Haha.

"Okay." sabi niya tapos naging malungkot yung mukha niya. "We're not joining the contest." dagdag niya. Tumingin si Felix sa amin.

"Who said so ?" sabat ni Felix. Sinamaan naman siya ng tingin ni Art dahilan upang binalik niya atensiyon niya sa paglalakad.  "Sabi ko nga eh, 'di na tayo sasali." dagdag niya. Napatawa naman ako ng mahina dahil sa inasta ni Felix.

"What's funny ?" galit na tanong ni Clark. Kanina pa pala siya nakasunod sa amin at bitbit niya pa din ang bag ko. Nabibigatan na ata siya sa Bag ko pero bahala siya, kinuha niya sa akin eh. Tinikom ko naman ang bibig ko para 'di na siya magalit. Haha.
