Every Ending (COMPLETED)

Kabanata 24

Tinitigan ko siya ng ilang saglit. He look like an investigator, waiting for me to split my secrets. I gritted my teeth again. Ibig sabihin, may dahil lahat ng mga tanong niya. May dahilan dahil hinuhuli niya ako. At kung ano man ang isagot ko sa kanya, palaging may kasunod.

"Tama na ang tanong. Bitiwan mo na ako."

"Ayoko."

Masama ko siyang tinignan. "You wanted to know what's the reason? The reason why I hate you so much?"

"Yes." He whispered.

"You seriously know what's the answer, Gen. I hate you because of what you're doing right now." Itinikom ko ang labi ko, hindi dahil sa naubusan ako ng sasabihin kundi dahil marami akong gustong sabihin, pero natatakot akong masabi ko 'yon lahat. Lahat ng nararamdaman ko.

My eyes started to form tears again. That's why I keep it open, so it will not shed again anymore.

"Ano ba ang ginawa ko sa 'yo?"

Umiwas ako ng tingin at bumuga ng malalim na hininga. He's not gonna stop, until I say what he wanted to hear from me.

"What am I doing now that makes you hate me so much?"

"You already know that. Asshole." Binulong ko ang huling salita. But then, he still heard it dahil sobrang malapit kami sa isa't-isa.

He chuckled. But I didn't hear any humor with it. "I don't. That's why I wanted to hear it from you." Aniya.

Hindi ko na napigilan. At wala na rin akong pakielam kung may tumulo mang luha sa akin dahil sa nararamdaman ko ngayon.

I face him. Hindi siya natinag, he still looks serious after he saw me, with my tears coming out from my eyes. Nakakainis siya dahil wala man lang akong kahit anong nakikita sa mga mata niya kundi determinasyon. Determination to know what he wanted to know. I hate him for that because he's not thinking what I'm feeling now because of that.

Gusto niyang malaman yung bagay
na gusto niyang marinig sa akin. At dahil gustong-gusto niya, wala na siyang pakielam sa nararamdaman ko.

I told you so, he didn't mean what he said. Sadyang gusto lang niya akong paglaruan o ano.

The thing is I already knew... that's why hinding-hindi niya ako mapaglalaruan.

I like- No... I have feelings for him. Kaya nga ako nasasaktan ngayon, eh. Dahil kung wala akong nararamdaman sa kanya, baka tinatawanan ko lang siya ngayon dahil sa mga sinasabi niya.

But, no. May nararamdaman ako sa kanya at 'yon ang masakit. I have feelings for him, but I'll not get fooled by this.

"I really hate you so much," I whispered.

"Bakit nga?" He whispered back.

I felt his finger rubbed my arm, I got goosebumps but then that doesn't stop me to glare at him.

"You said you're in love with me but I know you're lying."

"I'm not lying." Matigas niyang sagot. "I'm really in love with you." He sounded softly at that part.

"You're lying." I narrowed my eyes.

"Hindi. ako. nagsisinungaling." I am looking at his eyes that's why I saw that he glanced at my lips.

This asshole.

Ilang segundong tumahimik ang paligid. Kumalma na rin ako ng bahagya at ang puso ko na gustong na atang lumabas sa dibdib ko kanina.

"So you cried because you think I'm lying, huh?" He sounded amused for some reason.

I paused for a moment.
