CHAPTER NINETEEN

AYEL'S POV

They both miss each other. They both crave each other's voices. It's freaking obvious that they wanna talk to each other, then why the hell are they not speaking‽

I don't wanna be the third wheel, but I definitely dislike this boring and awkward atmosphere!

"Both of you, stay here. I'll go inside the shop, alone. Just stay here and talk, d*mn it. I can't stand your awkward silence! If you wanna talk, then talk. My goodness!" Then I closed my car's door.

"Where are you going?" my cousin asked me.

"Gotta pick something up from the shop. Are you coming with me?"

He sat properly on the sofa and played with his phone. "Nah, tinatamad ako."

"If you say so. Good thing, I'll pick up Tine."

Jairo's movements were faster than the bullet. "On second thought, I'll go with you. I'm bored here." I was standing in shock but wanted to laugh, then cuz glared at me. "Ang bagal mo. Dalian mo na!"

And I still can't stop laughing.

KRISTINE'S POV

So... ano nga? Ayel naman eh!

Simula nang sumama ako sa kanila, ni 'di ako makatingin kay Jairo. 'Di rin naman niya ako kinakausap eh. But at least, I know na okay siya physically.

Pero teka... sino ba dapat yung unang magsasalita? Ako ba o siya?

A-Ano bang itatanong ko? Ayos ka lang ba? Kamusta ka? Ba't antagal mong 'di nagparamdam? Na-miss mo man lang ba akowait wait what‽

"So... umm... ba't 'di ka pumasok ngayon?"

Napaharap ako kay Jairo. "H-Ha?"

"I got a message from Bryle this morning, saying that you didn't wanna come to school." Tumingin siya sa akin. "Why, Kristine?"

"Ah.. eh... ano... 'di maayos yung pakiramdam ko..."

Bigla niyang hinawakan ang noo ko. "Are you still sick? Natrauma ka ba sa ginawa sayo nung mga g*gong yun? Don't worry that will never happen again, Kristine. I promise I'll keep you safe. I promise that I'll be by your side. I promise that I will never let you down again. I promise—"

"Kristine!" I heard someone shout.

I blinked numerous times and ended up staring at Jairo who was sitting pretty in his seat. His hands are on his lap not on my forehead or my chin. "Wha-what?"

"Anong what? Kanina pa kita tinatanong. Bakit 'di ka pumasok ngayon? Tapos bigla ka na lang tumulala." Bakas kay Jairo ang pag-aalala. "Ano? Masama ba pakiramdam mo? Gusto mo bang ipa-ospital na kita?"

I shook my head. "S-Sorry, may naisip lang ako bigla kanina." Tumingin ako sa kanya. "Ayos lang ako, 'di lang talaga maganda yung pakiramdam ko. Eh ikaw ba? Ayos ka lang?" Imagination lang ba yung kanina?

"A-Ako?" Parang 'di pa siya makapaniwalang tinanong ko siya.

"Ayy hindi, Jairo. Sarili ko yung tinatanong ko. Ayos ka lang ba self?"

Bigla naman siyang ngumiti at napailing. "Mukhang ayos ka na nga." All of a sudden, his face saddened. "I'm sorry."

Bigla naman akong naguluhan. "Ba't ka nagso-sorry?"
