Anything For You, Beks [Heartbreak Series #1]

Chapter 35: Joyride

CHRYSANTHEMUM

"Nakakakilig namaaaan!" Halos magwala si Jhyanna nang ikwento ko sa kanila ang nangyari noong pasko. Maging ako ay hindi rin makapaniwala na nagawa agad na makasundo ni Gallego ang Dad ko.

That night, matapos akong pagtawanan ng sarili kong ama sa harap ni Marmyx ay nagkuwentuhan na sila ng kung anu-ano na hindi ko maintindihan. Maging si Mommy ay nabanggit sa aking gusto niya rin si Marmyx.

Hindi ko rin maiwasang maipagkumpara ang nangyari noon sa amin ni Jyll sa ginawa ni Marmyx. I don't want to, it's just that it automatically came into my mind.

I admire how brave Marmyx is to confess and ask permission to my Dad just like that. Nakakatuwa, I never saw them that comfortable with a guy friend of mine. Kapag kasi may nagpupunta noon sa amin, kahit sina Venom, ay iba ang tingin ni Dad sa kanila. I remembered him telling me that if a man really likes me, he would be brave.

What if Jyll did the same? What if he went to my house, asked permission and did whatever it may have taken? I've been blaming myself for not fighting but does he also fought for it, too? Paano kung sabay kaming lumaban? Maybe we could've won over it.

"Hoy, Bitch, tulaley? Nahuhulog ka na ba kay Papa Marmyx?" Auri interrupted my thoughts. "Lalayag na ba ang Krimstix love team?" She added.

We were at a coffee shop. Today is December 31 at napagpasiyahan naming mag-bonding sa huling araw ng taon. Kanina ay nagpunta kami sa isang amusement park at napagod kami sa rides kaya nag-stop by kami sa isang coffee shop.

"Duda ako," Xerox said, umiiling-iling pa. "Palagay ko ay pinagkukumpara niya sa utak niya ang ginawa ni Myx na hindi nagawa ng ex niya," she added. Ouch. Xerox always hurts me with her words because she always gets it right.

"Nahahawaan ka na ng mind reading ability keme ni Jhya," biro ko.

"Oh, 'di ba? Tama ako," mayabang nitong sabi na ikinatawa naman ng dalawa.

"What do you think about Myx?" Jhya asked. Sa kanilang tatlo, ito talaga ang pinaka-push sa aming dalawa ni Marmyx. 'Yon nga lang, hindi pa rin talaga ako nakaka-move on kay Jyll.

"He's sweet, funny and caring," I answered without looking at them. I acted sipping on my frappe so that they won't notice that I'm avoiding their stares.

"Anong nape-feel mo para sa kaniya?" Auri asked again, she seem not satisfied with my answer.

"We are... friends," I answered. Totoo naman. Kaibigan lang talaga ang tingin ko kay Gallego. Aware naman siya doon, ilang beses ko nang sinabi sa kaniya. Pero tulad ng una niyang mga sagot, liligawan niya pa rin daw ako sa ayaw at sa gusto ko.

"Sana all friends," Jhya wisphered which made the two chuckle.

"Ewan sa inyo! Pinagtutulungan niyo na naman ako," I pouted. Tinawanan lang naman ako ng mga gaga.

After some time ay napagpasiyahan na naming umuwi since kanina pa kami magkakasama. Isa pa, we need to arrive home before the year ends.

It was near 8 o'clock in the evening when I arrived home. Wala sina Mommy hanggang bukas. Oh yeah, they informed us about it. Mayroon silang importanteng New Year Convention sa New York. Mag-video call na lang daw kami mamaya, babawi daw sila next time.

I entered the house and was shocked to see Kenniah talking with Jyll. Oh, yes, Jyll. I immediately went to their side. I looked at my sister with a look asking why Jyll was here. She just shrugged her shoulders.

"Kuya, ayan na pala si Ate. Iwan ko muna kayong dalawa," Kenniah said before standing on the couch. She even tapped my shoulder before going upstairs.

"Bakit ka nandito?" I asked him, sitting on the couch in front of where he is seated.
