WA 41 – Insensitive

Everything went back to normal. Halos abala na kaming lahat sa pag-aaral at mas inuuna ang mga dapat gawin. Whenever I see Uryll, umiiwas ako. Hindi na rin niya siguro 'yon napapansin dahil abala siya sa ibang bagay—kay Daphne. Yes, she's here. The Council gave them—Uryll and Daphne—a time to bond. She'll be here for a few weeks.

Walang imik akong pumasok ng library at hinanap kung saan nakaupo si Briz. When I saw him, he smiled at me. I returned back the favor. "Kanina ka pa?" tanong ko at naupo sa tabi niya.

Tumango siya. He handed me a book, "I saw this at the history section. Eto 'yon diba?" I nodded as I flipped the pages.

"Thank you. Noong isang araw ko pa 'to hinahanap." I said.

I was looking for a book entitled 'The Mistaken Judgement'. Miss Moore told me to look for it.

"You stay here, may hahanapin din akong libro. I'll be at the literature section." Tumayo siya at humarap sa akin, "Hindi ako magtatagal, babalik din agad." Sabi niya pa at tumango lang ako bago siya pinanuod na umalis.

Ibinalik ko ang tingin sa may kalumaan ng libro. May kaunting sira na rin ang ilang pahina nito pero pwede parin namang mabasa. I'm all alone in the corner.

Nasa ika-tatlong pahina palang ako nang bumalik si Briz. He came back with a bunch of books in his hands. "Ano ang mga 'yan?" I asked. Sa dami ng dala niya, hindi ko alam kung mababasa niya ba lahat ng 'yan ngayon araw. Ngumiwi ako bilang sagot. "You're too studious." I commented.

He grinnedand messed my hair. "I'm not."

Sinapak ko ang kamay niyang nasa ulo ko pa rin. Gustong-gusto ko siyang asarin kung hindi lang talaga napadaan sa gawi namin ang librarian na masungit. Whenever that Librarian is around, she hates it when someone is talking. Literal na pinapangatawanan ang 'Silence' sa library na 'to.

Pareho kaming nagbabasa ni Briz. My attention is in the book that I am reading, while he is in his. Naramdaman ko ang paghaplos niya sa kamay kong nakapatong malapit sa mga tambak niyang libro. Napalingon ako sa kanya at kitang-kita ko ang paglawak ng ngiti niya. Lumingon siya sa akin, I mouthed 'sneaky' at him.

'I'm hungry. Ikaw ba? Labas na tayo?'

'Alright. Sa Hall na tayo,' I replied.

Sabay kaming tumayo at ibinalik ang mga librong kinuha namin. Nadaanan pa namin sina Rio at Xynthea sa history section na abala sa paghahalukay ng mga libro doon. Hindi nila kami napansin kaya dumaan na kami palabas ng library. Para akong nabuhayan nang nakalabas na kami. Malamig ang dalang hangin ng paligid dahil papalapit na ang winter season. Hindi ko mapigilang mapayakap sa sarili ko dahil maginaw.

"Are you okay?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Briz saakin.

Tumango ako, "Oo naman. Ginaw lang 'to."

I used my Imaclum to warm me up. Briz can handle the wind because it's his power. We have this very civil setup. I am thankful that we have this. Hindi ako naiilang sa mga bagay na nagagawa namin dahil pareho kaming may malawak na pag-iisip. He insisted me to act as if he hasn't done anything. I approved. Bahala na kung ano man, ganyan ang napag-usapan namin.

If something comes up, both of us will face it. Walang iwanan!

I am very thankful that I have Briz with me all the way to guide me in this situation. He's a big help!

Papunta kaming hall kung saan kami pwedeng magpakababoy dalawa. Nagugutom na rin ako dahil malapit na mag tanghalian. May mga napag-usapan kami habang papunta kami doon bago kami mapahinto. We saw Uryll and Daphne walking in our direction.

Para akong binuhusan ng napakalamig na tubig dahil sa dalawang taong iniiwasan ko matapos ng lahat ng nangyari. We haven't had the chance to talk after all the mess. By and by, mas pinipili kong lumayo kapag alam kong magkikita kami. I don't want to get hurt.

Some martyr says that it's better to face the pain than avoid it... But in my part, it's better to avoid it than hurt myself even more. Nakakagago kasi! Hindi ako bakal para hindi makaramdam. I have the senses and a heart that can feel everything.

If I have the chance, then I will do what's right. In fact, not all sacrifices are worth it. I have Briz with me, so why would I settle for less? Am I right?

Alam kong ramdam ni Briz ang tensyon na nararamdaman ko ngayon. I felt his hand in mine at iginiya ako malapit sa isang daanan na pwede kaming lumiko. Pero bago 'yon mangyari, "Briz! Nathalia!" sigaw ni Uryll at umalingawngaw sa buong dinadaanan namin. Impossibleng hindi namin 'yon marinig dahil sa lakas ng boses niya.

"Hey man! What's up?" Biglaang bato ni Briz nang napahinto kami sa pagliko.

We have no choice but to face them.

I turned my gaze to the both of them and found Uryll staring at our entwined hands. Kaagad niya 'yong iniwas nang tumikhim si Briz para agawin ang atensyon niya.

"What's up?" Ulit sa bati niya kanina. Mas hinigpitan ni Briz ang hawak sa kamay ko. Nagpaubaya ako dahil alam kong kailangan ko rin 'yon.

"Nothing. We just saw you walking. You're both heading to where?" He coldly asked.

Nag-iwas ako ng tingin at dumapo lang 'yon sa taong kasama niya—Si Daphne. Ngumiti siya sa akin nang magtama ang tingin naming dalawa. I don't want to be rude so I returned back the favor.

"Hi, how are you?" She greeted me as if we're close.

"I'm okay. Ikaw?" Casual kong sagot.

"Uhmm..." Simula niya. I arched my brow while waiting for her words. "Thank you, Nathalia." She suddenly uttered. Ngumiti ulit siya. Oh! Now she's talking about the incident. "Thank you for pushing us. I can't remember what exactly happened that night but that's what Zachy said to me. You saved the both of us from the dragon. Maraming salamat talaga." As what I have heard, she's sincere to every words she said.

I felt the pang of guilt after that. Marami akong inisip na hindi maganda sa kanya. But after she said that, I can feel that she's pure and true. She even gave me her genuine smile.

"Y-you're welcome." I said pococurante.

Naagaw ang atensyon namin ni Daph dahil nagkakasagutan na si Uryll at Briz. Hindi ko maintindihan kung ano ang pinag-uusapan nilang dalawa pero ramdam ko ang namumuong tensyon sa pagitan nila. Briz's hand loosen from the grip. As if on cue, nahigit ko ang kamay ko pabalik.

"What are you talking about Hutchinson?" Matigas na tanong ni Briz kay Uryll. Pinasadahan ako ng tingin ni Uryll saka tumitig kay Briz.

Sumagot siya, "Nothing." Tumaas bahagya ang kilay niya. "Why are you so sensitive dude?" He coldly asked once again.

"Wow. What a word, dude. Should I congratulate the fuck of you for being so insensitive? Come on!" Briz shouted.

Kita ko kung papaano namutla si Daphne dahil sa pagkakasigaw ni Briz. Kahit ako. Alam ko kung saan humuhugot ng inis si Briz.

I am the reason why.

"Get your shit together, Clinton! You're overreacting!" Uryll shouted back.

Kumapit sa braso ni Uryll si Daphne at marahan siyang hinaplos nito. I can taste the bitterness in my tongue. What a sight! I cussed to myself. This is so complicated. May ibinulong si Daphne kay Uryll dahilan para kumalma siya. Naramdaman ko na naman ang mainit na palad ni Briz. Hindi sa kamay ko ngunit sa balikat ko. He dropped an arm around me. Napatingin ako sa kanya na kanina pa pala nakatingin sa akin.

"Briz," I said before he slowly caressed my arm.

Alam niyang isang maling salita lang, pwede akong umiyak. He knew me well enough to figure things. "You're cold. Let's go..." He said with a very careful tone.

Muli akong tumingin sa direksyon nina Daphne. Uryll's been sending thousands of glares at me. The fuck?! I don't have any idea why. He should be happy! He should be because finally, he's with the girl he adore.

What's with the look Hutchinson? You looked so pissed, man.

I shrug the thought off. Tumango ako kay Briz. "Mauna na kami," Ako na ang nagpaalam para sa aming dalawa dahil alam kong magkakagulo lang ulit kapag ibinuka pa ni Briz ang bibig niya. He's also pissed. Naiinis siya sa inaasal ni Uryll.

Nagtungo kami sa hall at kumain. Pagkatapos nun, nagpunta kaming Relm Timberland para puntahan si Xalanth. I missed her. Nagdala kami ng goodies para sa kanya. She happily ate them all. Namasyal din kami ni Briz para magliwaliw. Wala naman kaming pasok ngayong araw dahil may mahalagang ginagawa ang lahat ng teachers namin. I bet the Council gave them a notice to request for their presence.

Palabas na kami ng Relm nang mamataan namin ang kumpulan ng mga Sophomores sa isang banda. Kita namin ang pagkaway ni Stan mula sa kinatatayuan niya. May malaking ngisi siya habang patuloy na kumakaway sa amin. Hindi na namin kailangan pang sumigaw dahil ginamit na niya ang telepathy niya.

'Punta kayo dito. Katuwaan lang.' Sabi niya. Napatingin ako kay Briz na napapikit. Siguro nabigla siya sa biglaang pagsasalita ni Stan. 'Hoy! Dito na sabi!' Muling sabi ni Stan.

Bumaba ang tingin ni Briz sa akin at hinanap ang mga mata ko. "What?" tanong ko.

Umiling siya, "Tara na doon sa kanya. Makigulo na lang tayo." Sabi niya at hinawakan ang kamay ko para igala sa direksyon nina Stan.

Well, that's okay though.
