Chương 21: Chapter 20
It's 7 PM already, but I'm still here at the school's oval, lying in the ground, enjoying the night sky. The sky is filled with stars tonight, I'm loving it so much.
Ayoko munang umuwi. Mom and Dad have been so busy in their work, Sun is at Veia's house, he's gonna ask for her parent's permission to legally court Veia.
Hay! My Twin is so damn fortunate...so damn blessed to have her...and I am so damn envious to hell!
"So, how long are you planning to stay here?" someone suddenly said-or should I say, Hillary suddenly said it.
Bumangon ako at naupo sa damuhan, "why are you here?" I asked.
"I've been staring at you from there," she pointed the bench, not so far from me, but I didn't notice her, honestly, "isang oras na kitang nakikitang nakahiga at nakatingin lang sa kalawakan, and I'm getting bored, ang tagal mong umiyak. I wanted to see how Sky Abellera cries over a girl," she continued.
"Did you mean what you've said?" I asked with knitted brows.
"Of course, I mean every single word I've said," she replied, grinning.
"I'm not going to cry," humiga ako ulit, then I sighed, "saka na siguro when they get married? But, oh, ang layo pa no'n, that's 10 years from now, marami pang magbabago."
She laughed, and swear, nagtaka ako agad, "I didn't know you got such a kind of thinking, Sky," she uttered. Tss, what's wrong with it? I'm just being honest. "Pero, by just hearing your words mukhang umaasa ka pa rin."
"Ikaw ba hindi?" nice question, self.
"Of course, yes."
"Hindi halata. Lalo na kaninang lunch."
Tumawa na naman siya, "I'm just too good in hiding, but don't worry all that I've said earlier were true lalo na 'yong you're a valuable gem," she said.
I smiled, then I said, "thank you."
Silence already swallowed us. Kung anu-ano na lang din 'yong iniisip ko at bigla na lang bumalik sa kung anong nangyari kanina.
"You're very interesting, Hillary."
It took us a minute before we finally give a reaction, "anong pinagsasabi mo, Sun?" and that's Veia who asked him with the arched up brow.
"She's indeed interesting," he replied. "Don't give any malicious thinking, everyone, I'm just telling you the truth and I'm happy that she's now our friend," she added.
"In my past school, everyone who knows me so much thought the same, so don't get mistaken with what Sun said," Hillary uttered.
"So, ayon naman pala," said Sun.
"Akala ko ano na, Sun, I'm about to get jealous," though Veia said it somehow like a joke I know it was half meant.
Sun hugged her! Yes, he did! For Pete's sake, he doesn't care that everyone started blabbering sh*ts again! And, rest in peace for the two hearts that died again.
"You knew that it's only you, Veia," Sun said.
And, I know both of us took a deep breath. Ang hirap magpigil, pero kinakailangan. Hay.
"Kanina...what did you feel after Sun said you're interesting?" I suddenly asked. We've never talked right after the lunch break was done kaya 'di ko agad natanong.
She smiled, a genuine one, "kinilig, of course," she said. "Sino bang hindi, Sky? The person you like told you that you're interesting, just one word, but it gives me so much happiness...kaya lang, that word won't ever change his feelings for Veia."
"Tss. You hide your pain all along earlier, ha," I said.
"Syempre, if I showed it, then it will just ruin everything."
"Are you now giving up?"
She looked at me, pero agad niya rin 'yong inalis, "I'd gave up, but it doesn't mean I'll stop liking your Twin," she sighed, "kahit kinalimutan niya na talaga ako, well it's okay we can start a new beginning...as friends."
"That's fine, Hillary, we can conquer this," I uttered, sincerely. "But, there's really something with my Twin, right? You really can't stop liking him."
"Yeah. Sun is the first man I like ang hirap kalimutan niyan."
"Well, I feel you."
We both chuckled. Our life is full of dramas, hanggang kailan ba 'to? I'm getting sick of this. Pero, ang hirap naman kasi talaga mag move on, it really takes a lot of time and processes as well. Hay.
Silence has swallowed us again, but I broke it when I remembered something, "Hillary, could you still remember that last message you told me when I was in the hospital?" I asked, slightly confused.
"That I don't want to talk with you anymore and let's go back from being stranger? Of course, yes."
"Hindi mo napanindigan, ha."
She giggled and said, "paano ko mapanindigan, eh lapit ka nang lapit sa'kin."
"Gusto kitang maging kaibigan, eh."
"Kaya nga. That's why I no longer think about it. Besides, sa naririnig ko dati, you really are a good person and it's true."
I always have this blessed feeling whenever someone told me that I am a good individual. I am just so proud of how my parents raised me.
"Anyway, did you just stay at the bench just to wait for me to cry?" I asked, all of a sudden.
"No," she replied. "I talked with an annoying person at 4 PM and it lasted at around 6 PM, he talks so much," she added as she rolled her eyes inwardly.
With confusion, I asked, "who?"
"That guy named Lucas."
What?! Lucas Martin? WTH?
"Anong pinag-usapan niyo?" I asked, seriously.
"Random stuff," she replied. "But, I can sense that he wants something from me."
Sh*t, Lucas, that damn Lucas! He's not a good person. He may be good-looking, that's no doubt, but that guy is an evil who broke countless hearts! A lot of girls noticed this, but they don't give a damn, they don't care that Lucas just loves to flirt with them and broke their heart, not just their heart, but also that 'something' they must really protect! Lucas is just 20, but sh*t, name all those 'position' he knew it!
And, I'm so damn afraid that he talked with Hillary. Just sh*t! I hope my instinct is wrong-that Lucas likes her, then he'll flirt with her, and just take her for granted like he usually does!
If he's planning sh*t again and Hillary's his next target, well I'll never let him win. I'll protect this girl at all cost, I swear.
