Chapter 51

Sky's POV

I'm on my way to the parking area to get my car, alone-yes, I just got my car and driver's license as well. I'm alone since Veia is with her friends at hinayaan ko lang siya na makipagbonding sa kanila. Ayoko na mag-away na naman kami dahil hindi ko siya pinapayagang makipagkabigan sa mga babaeng 'yon.

It's not like I am hating those girls, it's just I don't want her to get influenced by those persons. They're known as the campus bitches and who's a man would let her girlfriend befriend with them? Tsk! Pero, kasi sabi niya they're good at I don't have the right to judge them. So, in the end, I lose over her.

Napatigil ako sa paglalakad. Ever since she became part of their friendship, she suddenly changed! Ilang araw pa lang naman niyang nakakasama ang mga babaeng 'yon, pero ang laki talaga ng pinagbago niya. Not physically, pero may nagbago talaga sa kaniya. She became too demanding at minsan kinumumpara niya ako sa mga babaeng 'yon. Like, what the hell?!

Tsk!!

"Sky!" I turned around too soon when I heard her voice. She's smiling when she's heading through me, "can I come with you?" she asked.

"Sa bahay?" I asked her back and she nodded. Of course, it lightens up my mood. Mabuti naman at naisipan niyang bumawi, no.

I'm at home already with Veia. We're in the living room, sitting at the couch while she rested her head on my shoulder. "Hmm, Sky, let's have a movie date," she uttered.

"Okay, but two movies only."

"Ano? 10 AM pa naman ang pasok natin, 'di ba? We'll watch as many as we can until dawn, Sky."

See? She's now so demanding.

"Vee, I have a quiz for tomorrow kailangan ko pang mag-aral."

"Ba't 'di na lang bukas?" umupo siya nang maayos habang nakakunot pa rin ang noo, "ngayon na nga lang kita makakasama tapos may limit pa," she complained.

"Vee, intindihin mo na lang. Tomorrow, we can have a movie date, after class."

"I have a scheduled date with my friends tomorrow."

"Ano?!" my voice started to raise, "ano ba 'to, Vee? Sa kanila ka sa umaga tapos sa'kin ka sa gabi? What the heck?!"

"Sky, I just got some friends! Of course, I need to bond with them!"

Sh*t! Ito na naman kami nagsasagutan na naman. Tsk!

"Alam ko naman 'yon, Veia, pero 'yong halos buong araw mo na silang kasama kaysa sa'kin, 'yon 'yong 'di ko maintindihan!"

"Sky, naman! Sabihin mo na lang kasi na ayaw mo 'kong magkaroon ng kaibigan!"

"SH*T, VEIA!" she was startled when I shouted. I tried myself to calm down. I bit my lower lip, then I took a deep breath, "let's end this. Baka kung saan pa 'to mapunta," I uttered.

"You're right," she said, still so angry, tsk! "Uuwi na ako," she gets her bag and was about to leave, but I stopped her, "uuwi na ako, Sky, kaya bitiwan mo 'ko," she seems giving me a command.

"A-aren't we gonna have a movie date?" I asked.

"Hindi na! Uuwi na ako at huwag mo 'kong imemessage o tatawagan dahil matutulog ako agad. Hindi maganda 'yong araw ko."

She started walking, but I called her again, "Veia, I'm gonna sent you home," I said.

"No need. I can handle myself," then she finally leaves!

DAMN! SHE'S GIVING ME A HEADACHE! I NO LONGER CAN UNDERSTAND HER!

I decided to went to my room and date my bed. Hindi rin maganda 'yong araw ko. Damn it!

Hillary's POV

I'm at the library with myself! The two are so kind, they volunteer to help our professor in getting the new boxes of books to be given to the students that's why I'm here alone. Tsk!

I suddenly saw Sky, looking for a vacant seat, and when our eyes met I gestured him to sit with me. I'd prepared a vacant seat for the two, but since ang tagal nila, then I let Sky used it.

"Why are you alone?" we both asked in a chorus.

I smiled and said, "nagpapakabait 'yong dalawa, eh."

"What do you mean?" he asked, slightly confused.

"Tinulungan nila si Professor Harry na kunin 'yong new arrived books," sagot ko naman.

He nodded and gets a book. Sky somehow looks so dreary, so it really bothers me.

"Sky, ikaw, why are you alone?" I asked him back.

He sighed, "nag-away kami ni Veia," he looked down, "I really am in a melancholy mood," he uttered.

"It flashed on your face, Sky," I said. I pat his arm, "cheer up! You're gonna be fine any time soon," I added.

"I hope so," he then sighed again, "she changed, Hillary. It seems like I no longer know her, but it doesn't mean that I don't love her anymore...it's just, I'm so worried and I can't understand her," he said with knitted brows.

"Well, Sky, change is inevitable, therefore, people change. You just need to talk with her, be honest, tell her what you really want to say, and I'm certain, magiging okay kayo agad," I said, then I look at my books immediately when he looked at me. I don't want him to see what my eyes are showing, it will just make him feel confused.

"Yeah. I've been thinking about that."

"Gawin mo na ngayon. Mag-usap na kayo habang 'di pa lumalala ang iwasan niyo."

"Alright," he stood up, "thank you, Hillary," he said, sincerely.

"God Bless," I replied and he just nodded, then he finally left.

I sighed. I really am a supportive friend. I salute myself for being so good at hiding.

Sky's POV

I looked for Veia right away, and lucky am I that someone knew where is she. I went to the locker area and was about to call her when I heard Sun's name, so I hide at the corner. I don't know why I need to hide, it's just I wanted to hear more about their conversation.

"Kailan mo ba aaminin?" Shaina asked, her new friend.

"Huwag muna ngayon. May tampuhan pa nga kami tapos bigla-bigla na lang akong aamin," Veia replied.

Sh*t! Ano ba 'yong aaminin niya?

"Hanggang kailan mo ba itatago? I feel so sad for Sky, ha, sobrang bait no'n tapos ginagan'to mo lang."

My brows knitted. I suddenly can't think clearly.

"Duh, malay ko bang bigla ko nalang 'tong naramdaman."

"Bigla nga ba o dati pa? Sadyang ayaw mo lang aminin, Veia. Mabait naman kasi si Sky, gustong-gusto ko nga siya, eh. Nasa kanya na kaya ang lahat! Super boyfriend material! Hind siya mahirap magustuhan, Veia, pero gano'n din naman 'yong kakambal niya kaya nga nabigla ako nang sabihin mong magsisix months na kayo, so it means one-year mahigit pa lang na patay si Sun tapos pinalitan mo na agad. Wow lang talaga."

"Naguluhan lang talaga ako."

When Veia said that my heart started beating so weird.

"Pero, kung ako sa'yo sasabihin ko na kay Sky, he doesn't deserve this sh*t, Veia."

"Natatakot ako...baka 'di niya ako mapatawad."

"God, Girl! Sinong tao ang mapapatawad ka agad sa katarantaduhang ginagawa mo?"

Ano ba kasi 'yon?! Sh*t!!

"Kaya nga hindi ko maamin, eh!"

"Kailan mo nga gagawin?!"

"Hindi ko na gagawin."

"Ano?!"

"Matututunan ko rin siyang mahalin..."

Mas lalong bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. My eyes are also started soaring. Damn this! Sana 'di na lang ako nakinig.

"...darating din 'yong araw na hindi ko na makikita si Sun sa kanya...iyong siya na lang talaga 'yong makikita ko. Tsk, kung bakit ba kasi halos saang anggulo magkamukha sila, eh, tapos nasa kaniya pa 'yong puso ni Sun, edi siya talaga 'yong nakikita ko."

"At, siya pa rin 'yong mahal mo."

"Oo."

I dropped the rose I am holding.

"Hala, may tao!" Shaina uttered, I guess she'd seen the flower.

Then, I started walking away, feeling so damn miserable! How could she do this to me?! What kind of mistake I've done to her?!

"SKY!" Veia called me, but I just raised my hand and waved at her, crying to death!

I just keep on walking until I bumped at someone. Good thing sa kaniya ako bumangga. Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko, so I'd decided to hug her.

God, why am I suffering when all I did is to love her?! Why she needs to do this sh*t?!
