*Jiro's POV*
Hindi naman ganyan kanina si Lance, pero nung isinama sya ni Shuzette papunta kung saan naging ganyan sya pagbalik. I know Lance well kasi ilang taon na kaming magkakasama, halos sabay na nga kaming lumaki nyan eh, kaya I know what he feels, siguro may nangyaring hindi maganda sa kanya kanina, malalaman ko rin soon.
~4 pm~
Naisipan kong lumabas ng G~Room dahil uwian na ng mga students. Hay, pano ko ba sasabihin yun? Hindi ko alam kung paano mag-thank you ng normal lang eh. Okay, ganito nalang...
Habang naglalakad ako sa hallway saka ko naman nakita si Nicca na may bitbit na mga books, papunta siguro sya ng Library. Napahinto ako at napahinto din naman sya kasi nakaharang ako sa daan nya.
"Oh? Ba't ka nandito?" Nicca asked.
"A-uhm ano." nauutal ako.
"Pssh, wala akong panahong makipagkwetuhan sayo Jiro, dyan ka na nga." She passed me and walk, hindi pa sya nakakalayo ng tawagin ko sya.
"POORNGET!" napalingon naman sya.
"Ano na naman bang Problema mong Abnormal ka? Busy ako! Wala akong panahon sa pangtitrip mo."
"MAG-DATE TAYO!" Wait? Ano yung sinabi ko?
"Kita mong Busy ako taz yayayain mo akong makipag-------Wait? Ano?"
"G-go out with me." I said, ngayon lang ako nahiya at the same time kinabahan ng ganito aah.
"Eeh? Don't fool me Abnormal."
"I'm not fooling you, seryoso ako." Then lumapit sya sa akin then she put her hand on my forehead.
"May Sakit ka ba? O nagkadamage yang ulo mo sa aksidente mo nung nasa Baguio tayo, gusto mo gamot nang mawala naman yang sanib mo?" I removed her hand and hold it. Lumapit ako sa mukha nya na halos 2 inches na kinagulat naman nya.
"I'm not fooling you around, go on a date with me. Tomorrow, after class mo. Hihintayin kita sa harap ng room nyo." I said saka ako tumalikod sa kanya at naglakad palayo. Hindi ko alam kung ano yung naging reaction nya eh kasi agad ko syang tinalikuran.
Paliko na ako dito sa hallway ng makita ko si Shuzette na nakaharang sa daan ko.
"Jiro.." She said.
"Oh, ba't ka nandito?"
"Gusto mo ba si Ica?"
"What?"
"Do you like Nicca?"
"Why are you asking me?"
"Just answer me!" She said then may namumuong tear na sa gilid ng mata nya.
"Wala namang masamang magustuhan ko si Nicca."
"Why are you doing this to me?"
"Doing this to you? Bakit?"
"I Love you Jiro! Hindi mo alam yun! Kasi ni minsan hindi mo ako tinignan, kahit kelan hindi mo naappreciate yung nararamdaman ko, ba't ka ganyan!" nagulat ako ng sabihin sa akin ni Shuzette ito.
"Shuzette..." I said then she just cried in front of me, she just hug me but told her that.
"Shuzette, sorry pero parang kapatid lang talaga ang turing ko sayo, nothing more, sorry."
"But Jiro..."
"Sorry." kumalas ako sa pagkakayakap nya sa akin at iniwan ko sya sa hallway.
*Lance POV*
Papunta sana ako ng G~Room para ilagay muna doon yung gitara ko ng makita ko si Shuzette and Jiro na nag-uusap, I just hide myself sa isang corner dito sa hallway nang marinig ko ang mga sinabi ni Shuzette.
"I Love you Jiro! Hindi mo alam yun! Kasi ni minsan hindi mo ako tinignan, kahit kelan hindi mo naappreciate yung nararamdaman ko, ba't ka ganyan!" Shuzette said.
"Shuzette..." Jiro said.
Hindi ko na matiis ito kaya umalis nalang ako dito sa hallway at nagpunta sa rooftop, kaya ayokong mainlove dahil ganito ang nangyayari eh, masyadong masakit, siguro okay na din na hindi ko sinabi yung nararamdaman ko, itatago ko nalang talaga siguro ito.
Then I heard na nagbukas yung pinto dito sa rooftop and nakita ko si Shuzette na tumatakbo dito sa rooftop, naku po baka kung ano yung gawin nitong babaeng toh mabuti pang sundan ko sya.
"Teka! Shuzette!" I said habang hinahabol sya. Then I saw her na nakaupo lang sa gilid habang nakatingin sa tanawin while crying.
Dahan-dahan akong lumapit at nag-abot ng panyo sa kanya then napalingon sya sa akin.
"Lance..." She said saka ako umupo sa tabi nya.
"Why are you crying?" I said.
"I can't believe it, hanggang kapatid lang ang tingin sa akin ni Jiro, bakit ganun Lance? Ganun ba ako kahirap mahalin?"
"Shuzette." Nakikinig lang ako sa kanya.
"Gusto kong magalit kay Ica pero no, she's my friend, mas nagustuhan pa sya kesa sa akin ni Jiro." I'm just listening to her as she cried her feelings out.
"Bakit ganun Lance? Ang hirap ng ganito."
"Mahirap talaga kapag ang isang taong mahal mo ay may mahal ng iba, kaya as long as mahal mo ang taong may mahal ng iba patuloy kang masasaktan gustuhin mo man o hindi."
"Lance.." she said saka na naman sya nag-iiiyak. I bring out my guitar and start to strum it, yung song na tinuro sa akin ni Jun the Serenade Prince.
*Baby I just don't get it
Do you enjoy being hurt?
I know you smelled the perfume, the make-up on his shirt
You don't believe his stories
You know that they're all lies
Bad as you are, you stick around and I just don't know why
*If I was ya man (baby you)
Never worry bout (what I do)
I'd be coming home (back to you)
Every night, doin' you right
You're the type of woman (deserves good thangs)
Fistful of diamonds (hand full of rings)
Baby you're a star (I just want to show you, you are)
I saw her face, she's looking at me while I'm singing...
*You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
Baby you should let me love you, love you, love you
[A/N: Let me Love you by Austin Mahone]
Konting part lang yung kinanta ko, pero it expressed what I want to say to her, ewan ko ba sa kanya kung bakit sya ganyan eh, kahit nasasaktan na sya na hindi sya pansin ni Jiro eh patuloy pa rin syang habol ng habol sa kanya.
"I know it's not the right time for this pero ngayon ako nakaipon ng lakas ng loob na sabihin sayo ito..." I said as I wipe the tears in her eyes.
"Shuzette, I am so inloved with you." Nanginginig ako pero matagumpay ko namang nasabi sa kanya yung mga gusto kong sabihin.
"Lance, sing to me again.." She said as she smiled saka ko sya kinantahan ulit ng kinanta ko sa kanya.
*You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
Baby you should let me love you, love you, love you
"Let me Love you Shuzette." then dumating yung girl na tinukoy ni Shuzette na si Kisshie.
"Don't worry about me Lady Shuzette, I'm just a big fan of yours here at Richford, bagay talaga kayo ni Prince Lance, matagal ko na pong napapansin na si Prince Lance is taking care of you the most hindi mo lang napapansin. Since I transfered."
"Kisshie..." I said.
"Give him the chance Lady Shuzette, open your heart." Kisshie smiled and walk away. Then Shuzette look at me and say...
"I was surprised that all of these are happening now, I apologize for not noticing your feelings, Lance. I was so broken now, pero I'll take the risk of giving you a chance. But I won't promise na madali o mabilis kong masusuklian yung pagmamahal na meron ka sa akin, it will take time. I hope you can also give me time to heal." She said napangiti naman ako.
"It's okay, I can wait 'till the time comes na pwede mo na ako mahalin pabalik, if not then wala naman din problema, atleast I already told you what I have for you. Kaya, take your time." I said as I smiled back to her.
"Thank you..." she said.
