More Than Just A Kick

Chapter 32

"Kung gusto mo nang mapagsasabihan, makikinig ako at pangako hindi ko ipagsasabi sa iba." Nakangiti niyang saad.

At umiiyak na kinuwento ko sa kanya ang totoong nangyari and true to his word ay nakinig nga siyang mabuti sa akin.

"In order for you to survive you should experience the hardships of life and in order for you to succeed in love, you should feel the pain of a heart which has been kick." Sinabi niya iyon nang may sinserong tono at nakinig naman ako sa kanya ng mabuti.

"If you could only read between the lines. You will know the meaning of every actions that a guy will do for you and the meaning of every word that a guy will tell you." Someone said that to me, and that someone really knows how I feel right now.

"You know you are loved more than just a kick." He said then tap my shoulder. "So stop crying now, don't waste your precious tears." I wipe my tears using my handkerchief, lagi na kong nagdadala nito kasi simulan ng nangyari 'yon bigla na lang natulo ang luha ko and I can't stop it.

"I can't stop crying."

"Hush," pag-aalu niya sa akin habang tinatapik ang balikat ko but he doesn't hug me naman at baka magalit pa samin si Stephanie. I sigh, buti pa sila same ang feelings sa isa't isa.

Patuloy kong pinupunasan ang rumaragasa kong mga luha.

"Okay. If you can't really stop crying, then just cry. Marami pa naman akong tissueng dala at may panyo pa ulit ni Stephen." He chuckles and I chuckle too while crying at mukha na akong baliw nito.

"Let's go home," tinig iyon nang pinsan kong si Rouge at sa tabi niya ay si Marsan. Just seeing him makes my tears fall instantly. "By the way, Marsan and I will going stay at your house. Uncle's order."

I just nod kasi wala naman na rin akong magagawa pa. But it will be hard for me to move on from him kung nasa isang bubong na kami.

"I'll just need to stay every weekdays and I'll go home every weekend." Paliwanag niya. I don't even want to say his name anymore.

"I'm rooting for you, Française." Bulong sa akin ni Jonel.

"Jonel!" Banta ng pinsan ko.

"I'm just giving her a piece of advice." He utters with a wide grin.

We finally arrive at our home with them and their luggages. My dad greet them enthusiastically in French. Sa guestroom sila tutuloy at magkasama sila sa iisang room. My Dad trust them so much and he kind of adore HIM. I sigh, if only he knew that he hurt me unintentionally. But he lead me on! Isa siyang paasa. Oo, paasa nga siya at ako naman ang tangang umasa.

Inismiran ko silang dalawa at pumasok na sa kwarto ko at ni-lock iyon.

After an hour of shower at nakapagbihis na ako. I hear knocks and his baritone voice.

"Iyah," after quite a few times of him knocking.

I open the door briefly.

"What do you want?" I ask quickly.

"I have so many questions. Can you let me in?" He says that innocently but why do I think he's seductive. And he looks smouldering hot in his red sweater.

"You can ask me here." I say firmly hawak pa rin ang pinto ng mahigpit.

"Look at your window, there's a cockroach." Tumingin nga ako at sa isang iglap lang ay nakapasok na siya at ni-lock pa ang pinto.

I glare at him.

"We must talk there." Tinuro niya ang corner ng room ko. Dinadaga na agad ako kahit wala pa naman siyang ginagawa.
