Avery Rain Santillan

I brought Niccolo here at the lanai. Ginagamot ko ang mga sugat niya dahil grabe ang pambubugbog na ginawa ni daddy sa kanya. Napapansin ko nang lately, I've been handling Amber's guys shits. Noong una si Kyron na in love kay Amber tapos ngayon naman etong si Niccolo na in love din kay Amber. Seriously? What am I here? A cleaner of their mess and shits?

"Thanks Avery." Pasasalamat ni Niccolo habang ginagamot ko ang sugat niya. "And nagmana ka sa daddy mo. His punches are hard."

Diniinan ko ang bulak sa sugat niya. "My mom's punches are harder. Nakakatulog si daddy sa isang sapak lang ni mommy. But you're welcome."

Napangiwi siya sa sinabi ko. Hindi ko pa rin talaga alam ang buong kwento kung bakit nanggigigil si daddy dito kay Niccolo. For all I know, welcome naman si Niccolo dito sa amin ever since. Hindi ko alam kung anong ginawa niya para kamuhian siya nila mommy at daddy ng biglaan.

"What happened Niccolo? Bakit galit na galit si daddy?"

Napayuko si Niccolo sa tanong ko. He looked so guilty. "I fucked up Avery. Gusto kong makausap si Amber cause I know I have to explain everything to her but your parents won't allow me to do so."

"Sana kasi hinintay mo na lang na magtaping kayo ulit ng I Do, Idol para makausap mo siya."

"Hindi na ako makakapaghintay Avery! Not when there are so many what ifs that are running on my mind!"

"Then you should stop overthinking then! Mahirap bang gawin yun?" I shouted at him. Nakakainis na kasi yang inaasal niya. "Stop thinking unless you already crossed the line. Hindi nakakatulong yang pag-ooverthink mo eh. Mas nakakalala pa nga yan!"

"Sana kasingdali ng pagbitaw ng salita yang sinasabi mo. Kung ganun lang din naman, eh di sana tapos na ang lahat ng problema ko ngayon."

Mas pinili kong manahimik na lang dahil nagkakainitan na kaming dalawa. Arguing with this punk won't help him with anything. Mas lalo lang gugulo ang isip niya.

"Amber changed after our Singapore trip Avery. Nagbago si Amber. Yung pakikitungo at pakikipag-usap niya sa akin. It seemed that we left the old Amber in Singapore."

Hindi ko masisisi si Amber. She might be thinking that she's did something wrong. It can be devastating on her part. I experienced the same guilt when that night happened.

Yung pakiramdam na hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko pagkatapos noon. Yung natatakot akong tumingin sa mga mata nila mommy at daddy dahil baka malaman nilang nakagawa ako ng isang pagkakamali. I don't want to disappoint my parents. They're my most cherished persons here in this world.

"I'll talk to Amber. Baka sakaling makinig siya sa akin but I won't assure you of anything. Maybe Amber was really offended of what happened between the two of you."

Pagkatapos kong gamutin si Niccolo, pinauwi ko na siya. I went straight to Amber's room and I was surprised to see that she wasn't there. Maayos ang buong kwarto niya. A sign that she wasn't here for a long time.

Saan naman kaya siya nagpunta?

I tried calling her phone but it was off. Maybe she wanted to think about things alone. Sana lang she approached me cause she can always share her problems and cry on me.
