“No, it will only make her want to see me. If I had said how I feel about her, she would miss me even more. All this time, I’ve been breaking her heart by keeping her wait yet I can’t still appear before her eyes. I never want to see her cry anymore, even if it means, I no longer exists in her heart, How immature of me, right?” –Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa

CHAPTER 48: SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION
DEUS JIN’S POV
“Aisha, Aisha, Aishaaaaa~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!”for the NTH time na tawag ko sa atensyon ni Aisha ngunit nananatiling nakatulala lang ito sa kung saan. Hindi nga kaya totoo yung pinuputok ng butsi ni Zayn at nahawa na sa habit ko ng pagiging tulala si Aisha???
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!WAG GANUN UY TT^TT!!!! Yae niyo nang ako na lang, wag na ang Aishamylovesnahindiakoloves KO!!!! Oo na, di ako na ang nakakain ng ampalaya -__-. Teka nga, s***s!!!!Nababading na ko sa POV ko -__-.
Bahagyang natawa na lang si Zayn na nakaakbay kay Kiera, “Hindi kasi ganyan ang pagpapabalik kay Hell sa earth. KieraBaby, can you please show a demo to our naïve friend here???”
“Sure ^____^!!!” saka ito dumukwang kay Hell saka bumulong….“Hell, may tagos ka.”
O____O
“WATDAPAKINGTAPE!!!WALA AKONG DALANG TINAPAY!!!!” biglang sigaw nito na napatayo pa bigla.
“SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!” bulyaw ni Ms Forever---matandang dalagang masungit kasi----Librarian at lahat ng estudyanteng nandito sa loob.
Nakalimutan ko bang sabihing nasa library kami??? Ayan, nasabi ko na ^_^.
“Eh…hehe, pa---pasen---pasensya na po…. ^___^V” nahihiyang sabi ni Aisha sabay upo. Nagpipigil naman kaming lahat ng tawa. Matalim na tinitigan lang kami nito. “AISH!!!!Nakakainis kayo >.<!!!!” sabi nito sabay pout.
Bahagyang kinurot ko na lang ang pisngi nito, “Haha XDD!!Pasensya na Aisha pero tulala ka na naman kasi. Ano bang problema?? Mula noong lumabas tayo ng ospital, lagi ka nang tulala. May nangyari ba??Sumasakit pa rin ba yung ulo???Ba’t ba kasi hindi mo na lang kasi sabihin sa amin yung tungkol sa napag-usapan niyo ni Khazter??”
Umiling ito at ngumiti, “Kuyang Tulaley talaga oh!!!Concerned much??? Thanks sa concern pero ayos na ko!!!Saka wala naman masyadong mahalagang sinabi si Khazter. Kaya lang naman kami natagalan mag-usap nun kasi tsinismis ko pa siya tungkol sa kambal nila ni Shinby.”
[A/N: PA-PLUG!!!! Yung story po nila Khazter and Shinby is featured sa The Missing Element series: Because I Am A Girl and The Man who can’t be Moved. Check out on my worls if ever you’re interested ^__^]
Bumuntong-hininga na lang ako. Nararamdaman kong nagsisinungaling si Aisha at pilit na may itinatago pero hindi ko na siya pipiliting sabihin ang tungkol doon. Dahil alam ko at nasisiguro kong may dahilan siya ng pagtatago ng bagay na yun.
“Guys, tignan niyo itong librong nahanap ko ^__^!!!” biglang sabi ni Erika nang makabalik sila ni Keita sa lamesa namin.
“Kanina pa siyang excited sabihin yan -___-.”
“Hmpf!!!Ewan ko sayo papu, kayo kasing mga lalaki, walang ka-sweet-an sa katawan!!! Hell, kaw na nga lang, tignan mo ito oh!!!” saka ipinakita kay Aisha yung hawak nitong libro.
“Legend of The Red String of Fate???” kunot noong tanong nito, “Ngayon ko lang nakita yang libro na yan dito huh???”
“Talaga??? Ang luma na nga rin niyan eh tas ang alikabok pa. Pinagalitan pa nga ako ni Papu kasi kinuha ko pa daw. Baka madumihan pa ko.”
“Naks, bumabanat si sushi boy!!!!!” pang-aasar kay Keita nila Rascal, Sage at Evan.
“Naks, nangangamoy ampalaya dito!!!!” ganting pang-aasar nito. Pinagbabatukan na lang ito nung tatlo na siyang ikinatawa namin.
Nang balingan ko si Aisha, nakita kong hawak na nito yung libro at tila interesadong-interesadong ineeksamina ito. Napangiti na lang ako habang nakatingin dito. Ilang sandali lang ay tumikhim si Takuya.
“*EHEM,EHEM!!!* Maistorbo ko lang sandali yang pagtitig mo kay Hell, Pareng Deus. Hinay-hinay baka matunaw yan!!Haha XDD!! Pero pahingi munang atensyon niyong lahat.”
“Tss -__-. Problema mo, Takuya???” inis na baling ko dito
“Napansin ko kasing parang interesado kayong lahat dyan sa kwento ng hawak na libro ni Hell. Eh sa hindi niyo na naitatanong, at dahil bukod sa gwapo, matalino pa ang lingkod niyo, alam ko ang tungkol diyan.”
Gulat na tinignan naman namin itong lahat at mukha nga namang hindi kami niloloko ng ungas. Nang balingan ko si Aisha ay tila nangniningning pa ang mga mata nito. Napangiti na lang ako, “Geh, banatan mo.”
Napantingin sa akin ang lahat but I just shrugged off, “Oh, problema niyo??Eh sa mukha namang gusto niyong malaman lahat, di pakinggan natin -___-. Medyo nabobore na din ako dito sa lib.”
“Tsk!!!Sabihin mo, nagpapagwapo ka lang kay Hime-chan!!!!Mukha nento!!!Nyahahahaha XDDD!!!” pang-aasar ni Chronos na tinawanan lang ng lahat. I just scoffed.
Nagulat ako ng balingan ako ni Aisha at ngitian, “Thank you Kuyang Tulaley ^__^”
“Ahhh---ahhhh, o---okay lang <////<…” sabay iwas dito ng tingin. Ilang sandali pa ay nagsimula na ngang magkwento si Takuya.
“Tungkol kasi yan sa isang batang lalaki. May nakilalang isang manghuhula yung batang lalaki. Eh sa may taglay na kalandian yung bata---“
“Tulad mo.” ---- Bullet
“T#$%^@ naman eh, tutuloy ko pa ba o hindi???” bulyaw ni Takuya kay Bullet. Ayos kasing sumingit -___- Yan, sama tuloy ng tingin sa kanya ng lahat. Buti nga -___-.
“De joke lang ‘tol, geh tuloy mo na ^____^V”
“Tss -___- yun nga, tinanong niya kung sino daw yung mapapangasawa niya. Sabi noong manghuhula yung batang babae daw sa kabilang kalye. Kaya naman gumawa yung batang lalaki ng paraan para mapansin siya nung batang babae. Eh sadyang pilyo yung batang lalaki kaya ang ginawa niya, binato niya ng bato yung batang babae. Ang kaso, sa ulo nung batang babae tumama kaya ayun, tumakbo palayo. Na-guilty yung batang lalaki kaya hindi na niya sinundan pa yung batang babae.
…Makalipas ang ilang taon, napasok sa isang arranged marriage yung lalaki kahit labag sa loob niya. Nung gabi ng kasal nila noon niya pa lang makikita yung mukha nung babaing mapapangasawa niya sa likod ng veil nito dahil na din sa tradiyon. Pagkataas niya nung veil, nagulat yung lalaki na tila pamilyar sa kanya yung mukha nung batang babae. Tas’ may nakita siyang tila tela sa noo nung babae. Noong tinanong niya yung mapapapangasawa niya tungkol dito, noong bata pa daw kasi siya, may bumato sa kanya ng bato at tumama sa ulo niya. Eh sa may peklat daw kaya tinago na lang niya. Noon na-realize nung lalaki na yung batang babaing sinabi nung manghuhula na mapapangasawa niya at yung asawa na niya ay iisa.”
“Awwwwwwwwww!!!! Eh teka Takuya, paano nasingit doon yung Red String of Fate???” pang-uusisa ni Miracle. Oo nga naman, nasaang parte ng kwento nito yung Red string na sinasabi?!?!?!
“Ahhh, yun ba. Kasi-------------------------“
“Kahit na magkalayo kayo ng taong itinadhana sa iyo, hangga’t hindi ikaw mismo pumuputol, ay pagtatagpuin pa din kayo sa isa’t isa dahil sa pisi ng tadhanang nagdurugtong sa inyo.”
Natigilan kaming lahat ng si Aisha ang biglang sumagot sa tanong ni Miracle habang seryosong nakatitig sa hinliliit nito. Mukhang naramdaman naman nitong nakabaling kaming lahat sa kanya kaya tumawa ito.
“Hehe XD!!!! May nagkwento na kasi sa akin dati tungkol dyan ^__^. Eto oh, tingnan niyo yung hinliliit niyo. Di ba may tatlong hati yan??? Doon sa pinakatuktok may line di ba??? Pansinin niyong may nakahiwalay na line doon sa parang naka-braid na line. Ang sabi dyan daw nakatali yung red string tas yung kabilang dulo nasa hinliliit nung taong itinadhana para sa inyo ^___^”
Agad naman kaming napatingin sa hinliliit namin. Oo nga, meron nga!!! Pero teka, paano naman nalaman ni Aisha ang tungkol dito????
“Hime-chan, SUGOOOOIIIIII!!!!Pero paano mo nalaman yung tungkol dito???” ---- Keita
Ngumiti lang ito ng makahulugan, “Wala naman Senpai, na-research ko lang ^___^!!!Featured kasi yung legend sa first movie ng Detective Conan eh, hehe ^__^V!!” natawa na lang kami. Ang adik niya talaga sa anime na yun!!!!
Nagpatuloy na lang kami sa pagkwekwentuhan at yung iba sa pagtulong sa Dark Phytons ng mga paperworks nilang na-miss dahil sa Nationals ng Football League. Nag-sound trip na lang ako habang pinagmamasdan si Aishang seryosong nagbabasa ng libro. Bah, mas magandang tignan siya kaysa magbasa noh ^__^ *wink* nang mapansin kong bigla itong matigilan. Nang sundan ko ang tingin nito ay halos napamura ako sa kinauupuan ko.
Paanong hindi??? Eh ang buong gang lang naman ng Black Knights kasama sina Eli, Angela, Serene, EJ at Angela ang pumasok bitbit ang BABAING yun na naka-angkla ang braso kay Heaven. Nag-aalalang binalingan ko si Aisha
“Gusto mo bang umalis na tayo???” sabi ko dito sabay hawak ng kamay nito at akamang tatayo na nang pigilan ako nito.
Umiling ito, “Hindi na Kuyang Tulaley. Hindi na kailangan. Alam ko namang sooner or later, kailangan ko din silang harapin. Isa pa, handa na ko. Handang-handa na ko. Basta ba, h’wag mo kong iiwan huh???”
“Sure.” I smirked, “Let’s get this game on.”
AARON’S POV
I was almost frozen the moment my eyes met hers. I tried not to let her see all the emotions in my eyes. If she only knew how badly I wanted to be with her and hug her tight. How badly I wanted to envelop her in my arms and never let go and how badly I wanted to punch Deus Jin’s face just to keep her away from him. But I just……….CAN’T.
Siguro ngayon, kinamumuhian na niya ako. Siguro ngayon, halos isuka na niya ni makita ang pagmumukha ng isang tulad ko. G#$% nga kasi ako, sira ulo at duwag. Hindi ko itinatanggi ang mga bagay na yun. Sa oras na bumalik ako, matatanggap pa kaya niya ako??? Malamang, hindi na siguro. Kung ako man ang tatayo sa katayuan niya ngayon, hinding-hindi ko matatanggap ni ang sarili ko.
Pero anong magagawa ko?!?!FCK!!!Everything is fcking pissing me off!!!! Paano ko pagbibigyan ang sarili ko kung may mga pangako akong kailangang tuparin at mga bagay na kailangang ayusin?!?! DAMN THIS S***S!!!! FCK IT!!!! Until now, my conversation with Tito Neon still replays in my head everytime I close my eyes.
[FLASHBACK]
~Conversation between Aaron and Neon- Chapter 43~
Sandaling pinakiusapan ni Tito Neon si Jubii na iwan muna kaming dalawa saglit. Pumayag naman ito. Kasalukuyan kaming nandito sa labas at nagtutulungang ibaba yung mga gamit ni Jubii. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa din ako makapaniwalang hindi namatay si Jubii at nandito na siya. Masaya ako sa bagay na yun, oo, inaamin ko. I have long been devastated because of what I and everyone assumed her loss. Pero hindi ko na din mababago pa ang desisyon ko.
I have chosen----fck that s***!!MY HEART has chosen-----to love a girl named HELAISHA NISSI LAGDAMEO, the girl who made me live and believe again, and I’m fcking sticking with it. I just need to have a serious talk with her to clear all things up. Isa pa, nang dahil sa pakulo na yan ni Calvin kaya hindi ko pa nasasabi dito na SIYA at SIYA lang ang mahal ko. And I’m fcking more ecstatic about it than Jubii’s return.
Natigil ang pag-iisip ko nang magsalita si Tito Neon, “Zygfryd, masaya ako sa mga nakita kong pagbabago sayo.”
“Tito…”
“You don’t have to look guilty for it. You deserve it, man!!! Nakita ko kung gaano mo minahal ang anak ko at kung gaano kahirap para sayo ang tanggapin ang pagkawala niya. I am one of the persons who witnessed how much you’ve suffered because of my daughter. And I am also one of the persons who were glad that you’ve finally found the reason to live and love again.”
Napangiti na lang ako. Si Tito Neon na ang itinuring kong pangalawang ama. Kahit na nagkaron ng gusot sa kanila ni dad nang dahil sa pagkakahiwalay ng mga landas ng buong Black Vipers, Tito Neon has remained being like a father to me. And he was laso one of those persons who has helped me to live my life again after Jubii’s loss.
Tinapik nito ang balikat ko, “And I can clearly see that you have made a good,err…GREAT choice on that one. Nakikita kong mabait at isang napakabuting tao ni Hell. T@#$%^, akalain mong naloko mo yung isang yun???”
“Tss -____-“
He let out a hearty laugh, “HAHAHA XDDD!!! Hindi ka pa din mabiro!!!! But seriously, I’m glad you’ve found her.” Nagtaka ako ng bigla itong sumeryoso, “But Zygfryd, I have a favor to ask of you.”
“What is it, Tito???”
“Alam kong magiging mahirap para sa pagitan niyo ni Hell ang hihingin ko but I have to do this for my daughter. Hijo, maari bang manatili ka sa piling ng anak ko???”
O___O WHAT THE FCK?!?!??!
“Alam kong naguguluhan ka. You were the only one Jubii remembered clearly. Ikaw lang ang tanging taong pinagkakatiwalaan niya. Noong matagpuan namin siya ay ikaw agad ang hinanap niya. Mula noong naalala niya ang tungkol sa nakaraan ay IKAW ang naging bukambibig niya. Hanggang ngayon ay mahal ka pa din niya, Zygfryd. At hindi magiging madali para sa kanya ang tanggapin na amy iba nang nagmamay-ari sa puso mo.”
Naiintindihan ko ang sinasabi ni Tito but FCK THAT S***S!!!! Paano ko magagawa ang sinasabi nito?!?! DAMMIT!!! It’s being fcking unfair to Hell, to myself and most of all, to Jubii. FOR PETE’S SAKE!!!How can I pretend that I still have feelings for her when I fcking don’t have anymore?!?!
Pinilit kong maging kalmado at sinagot ito, “Pero tito, hindi po ba mas lalong masasaktan lang si Jubii kung patuloy akong magpapanggap???”
He heaved a deep sigh. Ngayon ko lang nakitang ganito ito kaproblemado, “Alam ko Zygfryd but I can’t think of a better way. Hindi ko alam kung paano matatanggap ni Jubii na hindi na siya ang laman ng puso mo. Na hindi na siya ang mahal mo. She’ll break, I swear. She’ll definitely lose it and I’m fcking afraid for that to happen. Ilang taon, ilang taon kaming nangulila ni Zoey at ni Calvin sa kanya at hindi ko alam kung makakaya pa namin makita siyang masaktan. Just stay with her, stay with her until we fin’lly find the fcking guts to tell her that you already belong to someone else. Manatili ka sa tabi niya hanggang sa maging komportable na siya sa bagong buhay niya at pagkatiwalaan na niya kami. Stay with her until we can finally rest assure that no matter what happens, she’ll stay on our side. Please, Zygfryd. I am begging you.”
And I don’t know what is it but I just found myself nodding and agreeing to Tito Neon’s request.

NOW PLAYING: SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION BY THE SCRIPT
[A/N: Please play the vid beside --- >]
~~~You've read the books,
You've watched the shows,
What's the best way no one knows, yeah,
Meditate, get hypnotized.
Anything to take from your mind.~~~
And that was the start of my fcking pissing complicated life. I stayed on Jubii’s side, pretended that I’m still in love with her, pretended that I’m still the Aaron that I used to be and avoided the girl I truly love. Bumalik ako sa malamig na pakikitungo ko dito. Pinilit ko siyang hindi pansinin at ituon ang buong atensyon ko kay Jubii. Maybe, I’ll learn to fall in love with her again. Hindi ko pa naman ganoon kamahal si Hell at siguro naman, matututunan kong muling mahalin si Jubii. To make this fcking heart beat again for her.
Yeah right, Aaron Zygfryd Magno, who the hell are you lying to?!?!?
~~~But it won't go, ohhhh ohhh
You're doing all these things out of desperation,
Ohhh ohhh,
You're going through six degrees of separation.~~~
Pero t#$%^&@ nga, sinong g%^&$* ko?!?!? Hanggang kailan ko lolokohin ang sarili ko na kaya ko pang turuan ulit ang puso ko na mahalin si Jubii?!?! FCK IT!!! Kahit ilang segundo, minuto, oras, araw o buwan kong nakakasama si Hell ay dinaig nito ang ilang taon kong pagmamahal para kay Jubii. Nakakag#$%^ lang kung paano nangyari, pero ganun eh.
I’ve been called the “Ill-tempered Gangster”, “The Master Manipulator” and even “Ice Prince” but how the heck can’t I even manipulate my own emotions when it comes to her?!?! Tinitiis kong hindi sunggaban ng suntok si Deus Jin sa tuwing nakikita ko siyang kasama nito. Tinitiis kong hindi ito hilahin palayo at dalhin sa lugar na kaming dalawa lang sa tuwing nakikita itong tumatawa at ngumingiti kasama nito. FCK HIM!!!! I was supposed to be the one at her side, I was supposed to be the one to save her, to be her HERO but fck…
How did things gotten this so complicated?!?!
~~~You hit the drink, you take a toke
Watch the past go up in smoke, yeah
Fake a smile, yeah, lie and say that,
You're better now than ever, and your life's okay
When it's not. No.~~~
Paano nga ba umabot sa ganito ang lahat??? Everything was going fine. Sana hindi na lang kami umuwi sa Emerald nang araw na yun. Kung alam kong ganito ang mangyayari, sana inilayo ko na lang siya sa isang lugar na kaming dalawa lang. Tumakas na lang sana kami sa lahat ng ito. Tss, yeah right, Aaron and when did you ever learned to run from all the s***s in your life huh?!?!
I haven’t but I wanted to.
I fcking wanted to if that is the only way I can freely be with her. I fcking wanted to if that’s the only way I can tell everyone that I love her. But with all the hang-overs of my life, I know, I just can’t.
~~~You're doing all these things out of desperation,
Ohhh ohhh,
You're going through six degrees of separation.~~~
I have died. Yeah, I have literally died the moment her feet steeped out of Emerald. FCK IT!!!!DAMMIT!!! Matitiis ko..Oo, matititiis kong hindi siya pansinin, matitiis kong iwasan siya, hayaan siyang makitang masaya sa piling ng iba but to let her literally, GET OUT OF MY LIFE AND OF MY SYSTEM?!?!?!DAMMIT!!!! THE FCK I CARE ABOUT TITO NEON?!?! I NEED TO GET HER BACK!!!!
Kaya pinilit ko siyang pigilin ng gabing iyon. If she thinks I believe the crap Jubii is talking about, she’s hugely mistaken. I don’t believe a thing about that crap. I love her and I’ll only believe the words that would be coming out from her mouth. I was just pissed seeing her go home with Deus Jin when I was the one supposed to stand beside her.
Pinilit kong pigilin siya. Wala na kong pakielam kung anong gustong isipin ni Jubii, wala na akong pakielam kung magalit man sa akin sina Tito Neon at Tita Zoey, fck, I don’t even care about my ego anymore. I just need to take her back. But maybe, finally she got fed up….maybe, finally, she got tired waiting for an a**h**** like me.
And the words she has said that night repeats to kill me again and again…
“Gusto kong maghintay para sayo Master Heaven, hindi mo alam kung gaano ko kagustong hintayin ka pero ngayon, para saan pa ang paghihintay ko kung hindi ka naman pala darating pa????”
~~~First, you think the worst is a broken heart
What's gonna kill you is the second part
And the third, Is when your world splits down the middle
And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
And the sixth, is when you admit you may have fucked up a little
(Oh no there ain't no help, it's every man for himself)
(No no there ain't no help, it's every man for himself)~~~
Nang marinig ko iyon ay biglang tumigil ang buong mundo ko. FCK, it’s happening again. Everything is happening again. I let my tears flow as I watch her go away. FCK, THIS IS ALL YOUR DAMN FAULT AARON!!!!THIS IS ALL YOUR DAMN FAULT!!!!!
Ibinuhos ko ang lahat ng galit at frustrations ko ng gabing yun sa pagsuntok ng punching bag. I don’t care even my fist is bleeding as long as I can forget all this fcking events!!! Natigil na lang ako nang pakalmahin ako ni Calvin. I can even remember what we have talked about that night.
[FLASHBACK]
~Conversation between Calvin and Aaron- Chapter 47~
“Dude, tama na.” sabi nito sabay tapik sa balikat ko. Tinignan ko lang ito saka ako tuluyang nanghihinang napaupo. I continued cussing myself as I felt him sat beside me.
“Tingin mo ba magiging masaya si Hell pag nalaman niyang nagkakaganyan ka??”
“FCK!!!!DI SANA HINDI NA LANG UMALIS!!!SANA HINDI NA LANG NIYA TAYO INIWAN!!!” hindi ko napigilang hindi isigaw.
Napangiti ito. He calmly handed me a beer in can as he opened his’ and drank straightly before answering, “You really loved her huh??? Wag ka nang magkaila. Alam ko ang tungkol sa pinag-usapan niyo ni dad. I overheard the two of you talking.”
“Tsimoso ka din pala, tsk!!” and I opened my beer as I gulped it down.
“G#$%!!! Ingay niyo eh. Kung maguusap kasi kayo ng mga bagay na ganun, siguraduhin niyong mahina ang mga boses niyo. Tss -___-. Pero g#$% ka din pala, dude eh, ba’t ka ba pumayag sa plano ng magaling kong tatay huh?? Tss -__-, takot mo naman dun. Tropa mo naman ako. Akong bahala sayo. Taob naman yun kay mom.”
I just smiled, “Paano ko naman gagawin yun, dude??? You know Hell. You know that she’ll choose to hurt herself than to hurt others. Alam kong tatanungin niya ako tungkol dito at hindi ko magagawang magsinungaling tungkol doon. She’ll ask me to continue it even we both know it’ll hurt her. And it’ll hurt me even more, seeing her hurt and knowing I can’t do anything about it.”
“Kaya mas pinili mo na lang na isipin niyang sinaktan mo siya??? G#$% ka nga talaga…”
“Oo na, Inaamin ko g@#$ ako, sira ulo, a fcking jerk, b#$%^@%, a**h*&^, t#$%^@&*+,duwag------pero mas pipiliin ko nang masabihan nang ganyan kaysa ang saktan ang taong pinakmamahal ko. Ayoko nang makitang masaktan siya, ayoko nang makitang umiiyak siya kahit na ang kapalit noon ay tuluyan na din akong makalimutan ng puso niya…..Siguro nga, sadyang tanga lang talaga ako.”
Napailing na lang ito, “Oo, tanga ka talaga..pero sa lahat ng tanga, sayo lang ako humahanga.”
[END OF FLASHBACK]
~~~You tell your friends, yeah, strangers too,
Anyone who'll throw an arm around you, yeah
Tarot cards
Gems and stones,
Believing all that shit is gonna heal your soul.
Well it's not, no, wohhhh~~~
That’s the fcking reason why I endured not seeing her even hearing her voice for a week. That is the reason why I have endured staying with Jubii even though I’m secretly longing to stand beside her. That is the reason why I have endured each night thinking that there might be a possibility that she’ll fall for Deus Jin. And everytime I fcking think of that, I wanted to just tell Jubii everything.
Kaya noong nagkayayaan sina Calvin na sundan siya, pinilit kong hindi sumama. Pinilit kong ipakitang wala akong pakielam kahit gustung-gusto ko nang bugbugin si Deus Jin para lang sabihin kung nasaan siya. I wanted to respect her decision. I know she did it to focus all our attention to Jubii. Thinking of it, I can’t help but smile. I have really loved and still loving the RIGHT girl and I have no regrets about it.
Pero hindi ko din pala kaya…Hindi ko din kayang iwasan siya o hindi siya makita. I wanted to see her again, hear her voice and feel her in my arms. That night, I badly wanted to dream of her and yet all I see everytime I close my eyes is her face full of tears. I couldn’t sleep that night and I doubt it if I could sleep that’s why I have decided to visit the café where she used to sing.
Pero t#$%^@, pinaglalaruan ba kami?!?! Kasi kung oo, t#$%^&@!!!!TAMA NA!!! That night, I saw her, I saw her playing the grand piano as tears are flowing freely on her eyes. The moment my eyes are locked on hers, I wanted to run and envelop her in my arms and just escape this fcking world. But something in her eyes I can’t read stops me from doing it.
Just like now. May kung anong emosyon akong nababasa sa mga mata nito na hindi ko maintindihan. Tila tinatawag ako ni Jubii pero hindi ko ito pinapansin kaya nagulat na lang ako nang magsalita ito, “OH!!!Look guys!!!There pala yung ex-MAID niyo eh!!! Why don’t we say hell to them???” biglang baling nito sa barkada.
Tatanggi sana ako pero namalayan ko na lang na nakalapit na sa table nila yung iba pa kaya napilitan na lang kaming sumunod dito. Nang tuluyan kaming makalapit ay nakita ko na lang na nag-aalalang nilapitan at niyakap ito nila Serene, Eli, Nephelle and Erika. She just smiled at them. Calvin, XJ and Jiro even hugged her and yet all she did is to return back their greetings. I can’t explain what but there something has changed in her.
I was even taken aback when she turned to me and smiled, “Hello Master Heaven??Musta na din??” then she turned to Jubii, “Musta na din Jubii Helena???”
We were all surprised on the confidence she has shown greeting Jubii even more to the intensity on how she has said her name. Jubii----being her USUAL self---- just scoffed at her, “And why are you even asking huh, MAID?!?!”
Ngumiti lang ito, “Nangangamusta lang ^__^.” Saka ito umupo at nagpatuloy sa pagbabasa.
Naninibago man kaming lahat ay naupo na din kami sa lamesa ng mga ito. I noticed Serene, Eli, Nephelle and Erika trying to have a conversation with her but she just keeps on avoiding them, telling them that she and Deus Jin have some paperworks to finish. I looked at Jiro, Calvin and XJ and confirmed that they have also noticed IT. But what pisses me off the most is the fact seeing her hands intertwined with Deus Jin. She also seems to love his company.
Frustrations and resentment is starting to build up on me. FCK,FCK,FCK,FCK!!!!!! I formed my hands into a fist as I close my eyes to calm myself. Calm down Aaron, fcking calm yourself down….
~~~You're only doing things out of desperation,
Ohhh no,
You're goin' through six degrees of separation.~~~
No one can’t deny the tension that is building up on our table and it seems like everyone has the feel of it the reason why everyone was almost relieved the moment Yrves spoke, “Uhmmm, guys, anong oras na din oh??? Mukhang pare-pareho lang naman tayong naipit sa biglaang meeting ng mga professors, why don’t we all eat our lunch???”
“Good idea!!! Better yet, since nandito na naman tayong lahat, why don’t we all eat our lunch….together???” biglang sabi ni Jubii. I badly wanted to shut her up because of what she has said. Can’t she even feel the tension???? Geez, I still can’t believe Jubii has grown up to be as such.
“O----ok—okay lang ba sayo Hell???” nagtataka at tila umaasang tanong ni Nephelle. I was abput to say something when Deus Jin suddenly interrupted.
“Of course. The more, the merrier, I must say. And besides, Aisha and I have something to tell all of you.”
“T—talaga?!?!Teka Hell, wala ka naman nasasabi sa amin tung------“
EJ was interrupted when Miracle suddenly said, “Because it’s a big surprise ^0^!!! We are even excited to hear it straight from them!!!”
“Calm down babylove, we don’t want to spoil the surprise, right?? *wink*” ---- Chronos
“Okay BabyLove!!!’Lam mo namang susunod ako sayo eh ^___^”
“Well then, what are we waiting?!?!Yatta, let’s go!!!” pag-aaya ni Keita sabay tayo at inakbayan si Erika.
I don’t know why but I’m getting a certain kind of feeling that I won’t even like a bit of what they are going to say. Pakiramdam ko kailangan kong ilayo dito si Hell bago pa nila magawang sabihin ang kailangan nilang sabihin pero paano???
We are finally at the cafeteria and was almost finished eating our lunch when suddenly Deus Jin stood up intertwining his fcking hands with Hell causing her to stand up. He then started speaking
“Guys, alam kong kanina pa kayo atat na atat kung anong sasabihin namin ni Aisha. You don’t know how much I’ve been dying to tell all of you this. Gusto din naman naming isali kayo sa kayo sa sayang nararamdaman namin. You were all our friends and you all deserve to know the good news with us.”
“T#$%^@ mo DEUS!!!!DAMI MONG SATSAT!!!!SABIHIN MO NA KASI TOL!!!NAKAKABITIN KA EH!!!” atat na sabi ni Rascal na ikinatawa ng lahat.
What the fck is this feeling?!?! I don’t know why or what but for the first time in my entire existence, I’m…I’m afraid. I’m feeling damn afraid. A feeling that if I just let them continue, I’ll…I’ll be losing something that I’ll never be able to get back.
I looked at Jubii. Is losing that thing really worth it??? FCK!!! Kahit hindi ko na isipin pa, alam kong hindi. Hinding-hindi kailanman. Pero paano?!?! FCK!!! I’m one of the leaders of one of the most notorious gangsters in town, dubbed as “The Master Manipulator”, “Ill-tempered Gangster” and even “Ice Prince”, a fcking prodigy and yet now, I feel fcking helpless. What’s the worth of it all if I’ll be losing the reason for it???
I was taken aback when suddenly Calvin tapped my shoulder and whispered, “Dude, we’ll handle Jubii. Do what you’ve got to do. Just be sure to return Hell to us.”
Lumapit din sa akin si XJ, “Dude, you know that you are my best bud. And even though it fcking hurts on my part to give her to you, I would if that means seeing the two of you finally have your happy ending. Do what you’ve got to do and make sure to return her to us.”
Sumunod namang lumapit sa akin si Jiro, “T@#$%^! Mo dude, ano pang tinutunganga mo dyan?!?! G#$% ka ang swerte mo, ikaw ang pinili niya. Pinauubaya ko na siya sayo. Siguraduhin mo lang na maibabalik mo siya sa’min kung hindi magkalimutan na din tayo.”
When I looked at Serene, Eli, Nephelle and Erika and looked at me as if telling me they’ll handle everything. I smiled. FCK!!! What the heck am I waiting for?!?!?
~~~First, you think the worst is a broken heart
What's gonna kill you is the second part
And the third, Is when your world splits down the middle
And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
And the sixth, is when you admit you may have fucked up a little~~~
“The thing is, Aisha and me...tsk!!!SINAGOT NA NIYA------------------------“
*BOOGSH!!!!*
O____O
Nagulat ang lahat when I suddenly gave Deus Jin a hard fist straight on his face. I’ve held Hell’s hand and pulled her closer to me. Nakita kong napasalampak ito sa sahig at nagpupunas ng dugo sa may gilid ng labi nito. Nakuha na din namin ang atensyon ng lahat ng mga ta0o dito sa loob ng cafeteria.
Dinaluhan naman agad ito ng iba pero nagpumiglas ito at galit akong binulyawan, “WHAT THE FCK IS WRONG WITH YOU HEAVEN?!?!? NAMUMURO KA NA SA’KING G#$%^ KA!!!!”
Nagpupumiglas din si Hell sa hawak ko but fck, no, I won’t let her go, NOT NOW, NOT EVER. I even noticed tears are flowing in her eyes, “MASTER HEAVEN ANO BA?!?!?ANO BANG PROBLEMA MO!!!!!BAKIT SINAKTAN MO NA LANG BIGLA SI KUYANG TULALEY!!!”
Bumaling ako sa kinauupuan ni Jubii and smiled when I saw Serene, Eli, Nephelle and Erika trying to stop her from coming to me. Nanlalaki ang mga mata nitong tinignan ako, “TUTUBIKO!!!ANO BANG PROBLEMA MO?!?!?WHAT THE FCK IS HAPPENING HERE?!?!?AND YOU B*****S!!!!!LET GO OF ME!!!!” she said hysterically.
I heaved a deep sigh before finally locking eyes with her, “Sorry Jubii. You don’t know how fcking devastated I am when I thought you’ve died. I’ve been living my life everyday just to die and finally be with you. Pero nagbago ang lahat. You see this girl beside me??? She taught me how to live again, how to believe again and how to love again. Because she breathed, I existed. Because she lived, I live. You don’t know how fcking happy I am to know that you survived but sorry, I can’t fool myself any longer. Hindi lang kasi ikaw ang g*&^%$@# ko, pati na din ang sarili ko at lalong-lalo na ang babaing pinakamamahal ko. She’s everything to me and I’ll be forever damned if I let her go.”
Sunod na binalingan ko si Deus Jin, “Pasensya na pare, alam kong mahal na mahal mo siya at mas magagawa mong mapasaya siya pero pasensya na, makasarili ako. Bakit ko siya hahayaang maging masaya sa piling mo kung kaya ko namang gawin yun sa sarili ko?!?! And like what I’ve always said,SHE’S MINE, ALL MINE. ALWAYS DID, ALWAYS WILL. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.” saka ko ito tinalikuran at hinatak si Hell palayo.
~~~No, there's no starting over,
Without finding closure, you'd take them back,
No hesitation,
That's when you know you've reached the sixth degree of separation
Oh, no there's no starting over,
Without finding closure, you'd take them back,
No hesitation,
That's when you know you've reached the sixth degree of separation~~~
I smiled as I felt her hand intertwined with mine. It’s like filling the gaps in between our hands. It’s like a puzzle that has always been fit together. SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION?? Yeah, I fcking suffered all of it and reached it. But now, taking her back, without any freaking hesitation or any damned regrets, I guess it’s all worth it.
I looked at her and saw tears falling freely from her eyes as she ask me, “Mas—master Heaven, wala akong maintindihan. Ano bang nangyayari????Saka saan ba tayo pupunta?!?!?”
Napangiti na lang ako at mas lalong hinigpitan ang hawak ko sa kamay nito habang tumatakbo kami. I smiled as I realized that we were always running whenever we’re together. Running away, but now running to face everything together. No more hesitating, no more regretting. As long as she’s with me, I’ll fcking face everything.
I continue to smile and held her hand tightly as we ran, “To face love and reaching our happily ever after together.”
THIRD PERSON’S POV
[A/N: Continue playing the song --- >]
~~~ First, you think the worst is a broken heart
What's gonna kill you is the second part
And the third, Is when your world splits down the middle
And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
And the sixth, is when you admit you may have fucked up a little~~~
Napangiti na lang si Deus Jin habang tinatanaw mula sa malayo ang pagtakbo ni Hell at Aaron palabas ng cafeteria nang magkahawak ang kamay. Masakit man para dito ngunit napangiti na lang ang binata nang muling makita ang kakaibang kinang sa mga mata ng dalagang minamahal habang kasama nito ang siyang minamahal nito.
Yeah, seeing the one you love love someone else fcking hurts but seeing the one you love tear up for him fcking hurts a lot more.
Napangiti na lang ito habang nagpupunas ng dugo sa gilid ng labi nito at inaalalayang tumayo ng mga tropa nito. Nang makatayo ito ay tatlong batok agad ang natanggap nito agad mula sa mga kaibigan.
“T@#$%^@ MO DEUS JIN!!!!! ANG MARTYR MONG G#$% KA!!!! SARAP MONG PAGAWAN NG REBULTO SA EDSA!!!” bulyaw sa kanya ni Zayn
“PAGAWAN?!?!SIYA NA KAMO PUMALIT KAY RIZAL SA LUNETA!!!T#$%^@< BAYANI DUDE!!!!” segunda naman ni Bullet.
“ANO?!?!?SAKIT NOH DUDE?!?!?NASAYO NA KASI PINAKAWALAN MO PA!!!!! DI KO RIN TALAGA MAINTINDIHAN ANG TAKBO NG ISIP MONG G$%^ KA!!!!” dagdag pa ni Takuya.
Tinawanan na lamang ito nila Miracle, Erika at Kiera. Samantalang nang-aasar na pinagtatatapik ng Dark Phytons at nila Yrves at Chord ang likod nito.
“Ingat ka ‘tol, exotic ka na. Baka mamaya bigla ka na lang kunin ng PAWS sa sobrang pagka-exotic mo. Nyahahahahahahaha XDDDD!!!” pang-aasar ni Chronos na mas lalong inilakas ng tawanan ng lahat.
“MGA G@#$!!!!Tigilan niyo nga ako!!!S***S!!!!Sakit talagang manuntok ng g@#$%^ yun!!!!” sabay punas sa gilid ng labi nito. Tila nagtataka naman sina Calvin, XJ, Jiro, Serene, Eli, Angela, EJ at maging si Jubii sa pinag-uusapan ng mga ito.
Hindi na napigilang magtanong pa ni Calvin, “Teka lang, mga tol huh?!??! Hindi kasi namin kayo maintindihan. Baka gusto niyong linawin sa amin?!?!?”
Si Chord na ang sumagot para dito, “Isang salita lang naman ang bagay para ipaliwanag ang lahat, MARTYR. Nyahahaha XDDD!!! Ang totoo kasi niyan, wala naman talagang relasyon sina Deus Jin at Nissi. Kinontsaba lang kaming lahat ni Deus Jin para sa lahat ng nangyari kanina.”
O___O
“WHAT THE FCK?!?!?!” --- Calvin, XJ, Jiro, Serene, Eli, Angela, EJ, Jubii
~~~No, no, there ain't no help
It's every man for himself
You're goin' through six degrees of separation
No, no, there ain't no help
It's every man for himself
You're goin' through six degrees of separation~~~
Ipinagpatuloy ni Yrves ang pagpapaliwananag, “Kinontsaba lang kaming lahat nitong si Deus Jin na kunyaring maniwalang may relasyon na talaga sila ni Nissi. Para lang gisingin si Aaron.”
“ANONG SINASABI NIYO?!?!WHAT THE FCK ARE YOU POINTING TO?!?!?” naghi-hysterical nang bulyaw ni Jubii.
“Don’t you get it o sadyang mahina lang talaga ang kukote mo?!?! Pasensya na Kuya Calvin pero namumuro na kasi yang kapatid mo!!!! Hindi mo ba gets?!?! Ginawa yun ni Deus para lang ma-provoke si Aaron at ito na ang tuluyang gumawa ng paraang para magkaayos sila at magkaaminan ni Hell. Kasi po, in the first place, IKAW lang naman ang kontrabida sa love story nila!!!” mataray na sabi dito ni Miracle.
“Pwedeng-pwede nang agawin ni Deus si Hell lalo na ngayon pero hindi niya ginawa. Hindi niya ginawa kasi alam niyang si Aaron lang ang laman ng puso nito. Kaya nga kahit masakit sa parte niya, pinakawalan niya si Hell at siya na ang gumawa ng paraan para sumaya ito.” Pagpapatuloy ni Kiera
“Pe---pero, ba---ba’t mo ginawa yun ‘tol?!?! Pa—paano kung talagang mahal ni Aaron si Jubii?!??!” tanong ni Jiro na patuloy na naguguluhan.Ito din ang naiisip na tanong ni XJ na nasa parehong sitwasyon.
Umiling si Deus Jin at itinuon ang atensyon sa pintong nilabasan nila Aaron at Hell, “Sigurado akong mahal ni Heaven si Aisha. The way he looks ate her, it’s the same way I look at Aisha, and maybe, even more. And why have I done that??? Simple, it’s because love Aisha. And I have read, love is taking a step backward maybe even more for the happiness of the one you love.”At nakangiting tinahak nito ang pinto palabas.
Sinundan naman ito ng iba pa na patuloy itong inasar. Hiniling naman ni Jubii na iwan siyang mag-isa kaya sumunod na lamang sa mga ito sina Calvin, XJ, Jiro, Serene, Eli, Angela, at EJ. Lumuluhang napaupo na lamang si Jubii at niyakap ang mga tuhod niya. Ngunit laking gulat niya ng may nag-abot sa kanya ng panyo. Nang tumango siya ay nagulat siya nang makitang mula ito kay Yrves.
“BA’T NANDITO KA PA?!?!? IWAN NIYO NA LANG AKONG LAHAT!!!!” bulyaw niya. Ngunit hindi natinag si Yrves at bahagyang umupo kalebel nito saka siyang nagpunas ng luha nito.
“Know what???Letting go of someone, and also giving up on someone, I learned that this too was love. Been there, done that.” Saka nito iniwan sa kanya ang panyo, tumayo at umalis.
Patuloy na lumuluhang ginamit ni Jubii ang panyo. Saka mula sa bulsa nito ay inilabas ang isang kupas na litrato saka mapait na ngumiti.
“Natalo na naman ako….Natalo na naman ako……” at hinayaang tumulo ang mga luha sa litrato.
~~~No, no, there ain't no help
It's every man for himself~~~

TEASERS FOR THE NEXT CHAP:
“Pero bakit AKO?!?!?Master, hindi ako si Jubii Helena!!!!”
“Sa tingin mo ba may pakielam pa ako kung ikaw si Jubii o fck, whatever your name is???” natigilan ako nang ipatong nito ang kamay ko sa may bandang dibdib nito, “See how this thing beats for you?!?! You made it live again. I love you Hell, and no matter what happens, you’ll always be my Heaven on this Hell-a kind of world.”
