Chapter 55: For a day, today

***

Great.

Evening with him is the most beautiful present this twenty-fifth.

"You don't know me Katherine. But I want to be the first one to say how badly I want to tell you what's there behind my life."

He called me by my first name. This must be serious?

"You can tell me. Para naman hindi na rin ako curious. Tell me."

"It's not easy as it sounds. It's very... very something." parang nalito sya sa last word na sinabi nya.

"Wala namang madaling bagay eh. What is love?" tanong ko bigla.

"What?" siya naman itong curious.

"Just answer."

"I-I don't know. There's so much--"

"Well do you know about it?"

"Yes."

"That's it. Alam mo ang isang usual na bagay. Napakadaling intindihin to the point na mahirap naman itong bigyan ng meaning. See how it goes?"

"Okay. So what now?"

"Tell me who or even what you are. You said that it's hard, very hard. So I was kind of hoping that it would result to its opposed reaction. As easy one."

"It's not everything that gets to land in your theory, Kathy."

"Try me." I shot him a very curious and serious look.

He sighed. He finally sighed meaning he was defeated. But then again I was wrong. He patted my head and asked me to go back downstairs. I did forfeit.

Natapos ang evening na masaya naman. But I was a bit down dahil sa rooftop incident. Masaya na sana eh, kaso lang may dumagdag. And I don't even know what that is.

Hinatid ko sila sa labas at around quarter to twelve na. They have their rides kaya hindi ako nagalala. There's something wrong. I walk towards Kenneth. Pero hindi ko na siya pinansin pagkababa namin.

HE COULD TELL ME!

I was furious mentally. About two things. First, dahil bakit ba hindi nya masabi-sabi sa akin? Pakiramdam ko may mali eh! And second, bakit ba ako ganito magalit? Eh pwedi ko namang balewalain nalang. Ay ewan!

"Kath una na kami ha? Let's text nalang or chat." paalam naman ni Lindsay at Yna.

"Kami rin. Thanks for the night." Andrea. Tas sumakay na siya sa ride ni Kenneth. Buti nalang pala hindi dala ni Kenneth yung sasakyan nya, kundi baka magsagupaan na naman sila ni Jap kasi Porsche Carrera rin kasi kanya.

So now I'm left with these two.

"Sige na Jap. Hatid mo na si Andrea." then I hugged him. Napatingin naman ako kay Kenneth. He's in pained reaction.

When I broke the hug, ngiting ngiti naman si Jap. Siguro may mali lang sa mukha ko. I'm not seriously okay. Psh. Sumakay na si Jap and umalis na sila. Sina Lindsay ay nakasakay na rin pero hindi pa umaalis. Probably waiting for Kenneth.

Tumingin ako sa kanya. And mouthed, "Bye." tsaka ako tumalikod na. He grab a hold of my wrist kaya napabalik lang din ako.

"What now?!" naiirita kong tanong.

"I'm sorry." tsaka nya ako niyakap. But I didn't hug back. "Kathy, three words."

Siya naman ang kumalas at pumasok na bigla sa kotse ni Lindsay. Bago ako pumasok, inantay ko munang mawala sa paningin ko yung ride nila. Nang wala na, I'm still stunned.
