The Heart Of A Fighter

Chapter 10. Leave

Lumipas ang mahigit isang linggo ay walang nabanggit sila mommy at daddy tungkol sa pinagusapan nila gaya ng inaasahan ko.

So, they remained silent, huh? They decided to keep it after all. Well, wala ng saysay ang pagtatago nila saakin ng katotohanan dahil alam ko na rin naman. Yeah, I knew but, I just keep it to myself. I want to hear from them saying those words in front of me. I just want them to be honest with me. But, sadly, still chose to hide it from me.

Sa loob ng isang linggo, maraming nagbago. At alam ko iyon sa sarili ko. Am I even Ceilo? Definitely, no! hindi ko na rin maintindihan ang aking sarili. I decided to distance myself from everybody, especially to them---Mom and Dad, even kuya Cal and Jo. I'm mess. I don't know even how to fix myself at the moment.

Nasasaktan ako. Nagagalit ako na unti-unting naging poot. Alam kong wala akong karapatang magalit sakanila dahil kung di dahil sakanila wala ako ngayon. Wala akong karapatang isumbat yon sakanila. Pero wala parin silang karapatang itago ang katotohan saakin. The moment that I woke up from coma 4 years ago, they supposed to tell me the truth but, they didn't. They deceive me......they should tell me from the very beginning. I have the right to know. I also have the right...

At dahil nasanay na akong wala si Jo kasama ko, dito na sa rooftop lagi ako pumupunta para makapag-isip isip.

I stepped towards the railings and face the whole campus. I close my eyes as I feel the fresh air touches my face. I heaved a deep sigh. So relaxing here....

Itinaas ko ang aking mga braso na parang sa titanic habang dinadama ang masarap na hangin. I stilled like that until I heard some footsteps behind me. Ibinaba ko ang aking mga braso at inayos ang suot kong coat. Lunes kasi ngayon kaya naka-uniform kami.

"...hindi ka naman siguro tatalon diyan diba?" Monotonong sambit ng isang lalaki. At alam ko na kung sino yun. Hindi ko siya sinagot. Hindi rin ako gumalaw. Naiirita na talaga ako sa lalaking to. Hindi ko alam kung sinusundan ba niya ako o stalker ko ba siya dahil kahit saan ako magpunta naroon siya. And I hate his presence!

"What a pleasant view, right?" He said as he stand beside me. I sighed. "Yeah...it is." I agreed. A couple of minutes in silence before I realised something. I fronted him."Wait...are you following or stalking me!?" I exclaimed. He met my gaze. Emotionless. "Nope. I'm not following you." He said. "So, you're st-----" he cut me off. "-----I'm not stalking you, either." Napakunot-noo nalang ako.

"Then, how are you going to explain to me why are you always there wherever I go!?" I shouted at him with my tightened jaw. Tumaas lang ang isang kilay nito at bored na isinuksok ang mga palad sa bulsa ng suot nitong slacks. Napataas din ako ng kilay nang hindi ito sumagot. "Why you didn't answer me? Sabi na nga ba ini-stalk ako neto eh!"

"I'm not. Just wanna see you." Simpleng sagot nito. Saglit akong natigilan sa sinabi niya. "Ganun na din yun!" Sagot ko saka siya inirapan. He chuckled. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. "...what are you laughing at?" I crossed my arms. Sumeryoso siya. "Nothing....you look cute whenever you get irritated or annoyed." "Kaya pala lagi mo akong iniinis kasi enjoy na enjoy ka ganon?" I said in sarcasm. He shrugged. "Sort of." He answered. I just glared at him then, I turned and face the whole campus again ---- enjoying the view. Medyo makulimlim at mahangin ngayon dahil may paparating raw na bagyo.
