Chapter 9

No need

The party is going well.. but Elias is still ignoring me. Nagulat nalang ako nang bumalik sila Dash sa pwesto namin.. ay pumunta naman siya sa pool nang hindi nagpapaalam. Not that he's oblige.

A girl wearing a two piece bikini approached Elias. Hinawakan pa niya ito sa beywang at sabay silang nagpunta sa pool. He didn't ignore her eh? Well, that kind of woman is his type anyway. Their back's facing us. I felt my heart sting. I rolled my eyes and just ignored them. Damn you, Elias.

"Hey Jes, can we talk?" Natuon ang atensyon ko kay Dash. Tumango ako at tumayo na din.

Umalis kami doon at pumunta sa mas tahimik na lugar. Umupo kami sa isang kahoy na bench na nasa gitna ng kanilang garden.

"Majestia," pagtawag niya sa aking atensyon.

Nagtataka ko siyang tiningnan.. nang matahimik siya bigla.

"What is it Dash? Is it a farewell speech?" pagtatanong ko.

Natawa kami pareho sa huling sinabi ko.

"Maybe.. but I know we'll be seeing each other again someday and I hope you'll find your own happiness if ever that it will happen."

"I hope so."

Natuon ang tingin naming dalawa sa langit at nakita ko ang mga nagniningning na bituin at ang buwan.

I remembered the times that I'm alone watching the sky. Everytime I'm waiting for my parents to come home.. the moon and the stars always witnessed my tears.

"Jes," I turned my gaze on him and I felt his thumb slowly caressing my cheeck.

Hindi ko namalayang may tumulo na palang luha sa mga pisngi ko.

"I know you have something you're carrying in your heart Jes.. But please let it out. Don't let it ruin you Majestia. You are stronger than that. You have friends and you have us, me..."

Mas napaiyak ako sa sinabi ni Dash. I don't know if my parents will still accept me.

"Hey, shushh. Kapag umiyak ka pa nang umiyak dyan baka hindi na ako tumuloy bukas. Baka hindi na ako umalis dito." He chuckled.

Napasimangot naman ako sa kaniya.

"Don't say that."

"Joke lang 'yon Jes.. Kaya huwag ka nang umiyak baka totohanin ko pa."

"Ikaw kasi eh... Pero Dash salamat, kahit maikling panahon lang tayo nagkakilala.. You made me feel I'm special."

"Don't forget about me okay? Promise me Jes.. Don't forget that there was once a Dashzer Oslo Montellano in your life."

Ngumiti ako sa kaniya. He hugged me tight for the last time.

"Be safe everytime Jes.. I'll be not here to protect you."

After a while, we decided to go back.

Hindi ko na nakita pa si Elias sa may pool. Wala din ang babae kanina.

Why am I even looking for them?

"Where's Elias?" Pagtatanong ni Dash.

"Nakita kong pumasok sila sa loob nung kasama niyang babae." Sagot ni Xavier.

"Iba talaga si Elias matinik pagdating sa chicks. Baka ikinama na." Tsaka sila tumawa ni Migo.

Nangunot ang noo ko sa sinasabi nila.  Is he really doing it with her. Nakaramdam ako ng kirot sa puso ko habang iniisip ang ginagawa nila.
