His Touch (Book 1)

Chapter 43

Chapter 43

"What? Why did you do that, Haffai?" Johnson said and I heard his little curses.

We're on a video call right now and good thing he's not busy, I have someone to talk with.

"Isn't it good, walang madadamay?"

Umiling siya sa akin. "That old man just warned you, wala ka pa rin namang nakikitang signs diba? I'm sorry, wala rin akong masabi kasi nafu-frustrate din ako sa sitwasyon mo." Sagot niya.

As far as I know, I also tell Johnson everything about me and Leie except for my feelings, kanina ko lang inamin sa kaniya lahat-lahat kaya pati siya ay gulat.

"Payong kaibigan lang, hindi maganda yung nagawa mo. Yes you did it for his sake and not just for you but you think he'll be fine without you? No."

"What?"

"Listen carefully, at first you approached and hugged him then after everything you told him to stop and you don't care about his feelings towards you? That's so unfair, you gave him mixed signals, baka 'yon pa yung maging dahilan para sisihin niya yung sarili niya." He said.

I was hurt by those words, para akong na real talk. He's right, I was so unfair.

"See you can't react nor defend yourself to me because that's the truth and you're realizing it now. Wala ka ng magagawa diyan, panindigan mo na lang. Lalaki din ako, alam ko pakiramdam niya ngayon." He said.

"I'm so stupid..."

"You're not, slight lang."

He laugh a little but he stopped when he saw me crying.

"Hey stop crying and listen to me, face me properly." He said and I wiped my tears before I fix my posture.

"Wala ka ng magagawa sa nangyari Haffai, ituon mo na lang muna ang focus mo sa mission mo kasi ito na e, last na 'yan e tapos matatapos na. Pag-tapos ng lahat, tsaka mo ayusin yung sa inyo ni Xiemen." He said.

"We have the same situation but you're stronger than me Haffai and you need to be the strongest one once you face your mission, wala ako diyan para tulungan ka pero nandito ako kapag kailangan mo ng kaibigan na makakausap."

"Johnson, thank you..." I said to him and he just nod to me.

"I have something to do now, take care okay? Always check the time. Eat and sleep on time, wag mo rin pabayaan sarili mo." Pagpapaalala niya sa akin.

"Johnson, why are you still there for me knowing that I did something wrong."

"Because you're my friend and I support you. Ikaw na lang din ang nacocontact ko, hindi ko kakayanin kung mawawala ka pa. Just call me anytime okay? I can't go there to you sis because I am here in England but I can answer youd queries and all." He said.

He's really funny.

After our call, humiga ako sandali pata magpahinga. Lahat ng sinabi niya sa akin ay tama at tumatak 'yon sa utak ko. I'm not selfish, para sa aming dalawa din yung ginawa ko pero alam kong nasaktan din si Leie doon.

Alam kong makakarating rin ito sa mga kapatid ko, hindi ko pwedeng sabihin sa kanila ang sitwasyon ko kaya hanggat maaari itatago ko na lang muna at magrarason na lang ako.

Next morning I received tons of messages from my siblings. Lahat 'yon ay sinasabi nilang kausapin ko sila pero ang message ni Ate ang pinaka-napansin ko.

Leie handed a resignation letter.

After replying to Ate's message she immediately call me, the first thing she did is yell my name.

"Anong nangyari sa inyo ha? Ako ang inaawan ni Ashen ngayon, akala niya inaway ko si Xiemen. Sobrang dami niyang sinabi sa akin e wala rin naman akong alam. Bakit siya nagpasa ng resignation letter?" Sunod-sunod na sabi ni Ate sa akin.

He can't leave our company, what will be his source of income? How can he make a living for him and for his sister? Damn.

"I don't know..." Iyon na lang ang naisagot ko sa kaniya.

"What? Tell me everything, anong nangyari?" She asked.

"I really don't know." Sabi ko sabay patay ng tawag.

Ayoko na sanang tignan ang phone ko pero nakita ko sa notification ang pangalan ni Leie.

He's asking for last meet. Damn I hate this.

Ito na ba talaga ang huli? Will we never see each other again soon?

Right. Ako nga pala ang tumapos, ako rin ang magdudusa.

I'm scared to face him, hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin at kung anong iaakto ko mamaya.

I hope everything will be alright.
