Chapter 29
The Intramurals lasted for a week. Naging abala man sa pagiging facilitator ay nag-enjoy naman ako sa panonood sa iba't ibang events kapag tapos na ang mga laro sa table tennis. Madalas kaming magkasama ni Rylle sa panonood tuwing natatapos ang laro.
He ended up being the champion for table tennis and I couldn't be more proud of him. Si Aurora naman ay second place over all. Not bad for a first timer like her.
We decided to celebrate in a bar near our village. It's a restobar so it's more chill and relaxing than any bars around. Isa pa, we're all of legal age kaya wala namang problema. Balik sa normal classes na kasi sa susunod na linggo kaya naisipan naming gumala habang weekend.
Masaya kaming nagkuwentuhan ni Aurora habang si Rylle naman ay nasa tabi ko at pinaglalaruan ang mga daliri ko. It's his favorite gesture. Naaaliw nalang din akong pagmasdan siya sa ginagawa niya.
"No hard drinks for you," he whispered against my hair.

Path to her Cold Heart (Manere Series #2) Chapter 30
Tahimik akong sumunod kay Cassandra papunta sa field. We sat on one of the benches. I've got a bad feeling about what she's going to say and I could've just ignored her.Pero ayaw ko rin namang mambastos ng tao kahit gaano kasahol ang mga pinagsasabi niya sa akin sa bar.Here eyes were full of resentment when she looked at me that time. Bagay na hindi ko maintindihan dahil sa pagkakaalam ko wala naman akong naging atraso sa kanya.I know she has a thing for Rylle, halata naman iyon sa ikinikilos niya. At siya rin iyong tipo ng babae na gagawin ang lahat makuha lang ang gusto.I looked at her, carefully guarded with my prejudices of her. Whatever she's going to say, I don't have to believe it. Lalo na at may pakiramdam akong tungkol iyon sa amin ni Rylle."Say whatever you want to say, I don't have much time for this," malamig kong basag sa katahimikan.Her eyes are full of sympathy and pity. Hindi ko mawari kung peke ba ang ipi

I don't know what I should feel as I look at them close to each other. Galit ba ako? Not quite. Nasasaktan? Nagugulat? Of course I should be. I should feel all of those when I see the man I love being touched by other woman.But I just stood there, stunned and unable to move. Gaya ng naramdaman ko nang marinig ko siyang magtapat sa best friend ko.Pero nasaktan man ako noon, nagawa ko pa ring tumalikod at tumakbo palayo. I did not become numb unlike today. Habang tumatagal akong nakatitig unti-unti ko ring narerealize ang mga bagay.Maybe what Cassandra said that day was true. No matter how much I try to deny it to myself, that little part of me knew that it's true.Totoo din naman kasing saka lang niya ako hinabol pagkatapos siyang tanggihan ni Aurora. Hindi ba nga nang ako ang nag-confess sa kanya, wala siyang sinabi? Ano ba'ng ginawa niya noon? Oo nga pala, hinalikan niya ako. Dahil ba naaawa siya sa akin? O dahil nagtatake advantage siya

My eyelids felt heavy and I was lightheaded. Hindi ko tuluyang maimulat ang mga mata ko sa bigat ng mga iyon. Para pa iyong namamaga. I tried to move my hand and it was heavy too, and very painful. I can hear noises around me but I was too out of focus to listen and understand everything. I can also hear sobs from someone.Nasaan ba ako?I tried to lift even just a finger but failed painfully. Nang tuluyan ko namang maimulat ang mga mata ay puti lang ang nakikita. Bahagyang nagkagulo ang mga tao sa paligid at may iilan ang lumapit sa kinahihigaan ko."Ei, anak. Are you finally awake? Oh thank God!" Hagulgol ni Mama."I'll go call the doctor," boses ni Papa.I heard the door opened and closed afterwards. Ilang sandali pa ay muling bumukas ang pinto at dumami ang mga tao sa loob. I could barely move my body and I tried so hard to adjust my vision properly. Nang tuluyang maimulat ang mga mata, una kong nakita si Mama na umiiyak.S

"Ei," Aurora called me softly.I turned my body towards her. Nagagalaw ko na ng maayos ang katawan ko maliban sa mga kamay ko. They would hurt like hell everytime I try to move them."Kumain ka na muna. Hindi ka pa nagbre-breakfast.""Where is Nanay Gracia?" Tanong ko, binalewala ang sinabi niya.I would grow anxious whenever Nanay Gracia's out of my sight. She sighed and put the away the plate full of food. Nakaupo ako sa kama at tulalang pinagmasdan ang mga punong-kahoy sa labas sa pamamagitan ng maliit na bintana."She went out to get a wheelchair. Gusto ka niyang ipasyal sa labas," ngiti niya.I resumed looking at the view outside. Maganda nga ang panahon sa labas at mukhang masarap mamasyal.It's been a month since I got confined. Sa mga panahong iyon, hindi ko man lang magawang lumabas at hayaan ang sariling masinagan ng araw. I roamed my eyes around the dull and colorless room. I smiled bitterly.My hands a

Everything that happened felt like a distant dream. As I look back at those I can't help but feel the pain again. Ang akala kong buhay na kinalimutan ko na, muling nagbalik sa ala-ala ko. How I endured the pain of the first heartbreak, how I got through and surpassed death, and how I gave up my dream. Out of all what happened, ang huli ang pinakamasakit.Muli kong sinubukang gumuhit ng sketches pagkatapos ng aksidente. Pero tuwing ginagawa ko iyon, naninigas ang kamay ko at wala akong maiguhit. At muling magbabalik sa ala-ala ko ang bangungot ng aksidente. Kaya naman hindi ko na ulit sinubukan, sa takot na sundan na naman ng bangungot at sakit.My first few months abroad were not easy. Unti-unti lang naging madali nang madalas kong makasama si Denver. At tuluyan lang akong nakabangon nang sumunod si Aurora para roon din mag-aral. Her decision was abrupt.Alam ko kung gaano kahalaga sa kanya ang Baler at ang makasama ang pamilya. Kaya naman nakapagt

I froze from where I was while staring directly at him. Hindi ko na nga halos marinig ang mararahang saway ni Aling Selya sa asawa tungkol sa kung ano. Parang nag slow motion ang lahat at ni isa sa aming dalawa ay hindi gumagalaw.His eyes went down to my body. Natigil iyon sa braso ko kung saan mayroon pang benda. Tumagilid ako, hindi komportable sa mga titig niya. Hindi pa tuluyang mag sink in sa akin kung paanong siya ang nandito imbes na ang maid na ipinadala ni Papa."Miss Eirene, siya ang ipinadala ng Senyor para maging personal body guard niyo," si Mang Tony habang nakangiti akong tiningnan. "Ano ngang pangalan mo uli, hijo?" Baling niya kay Rylle.Personal bodyguard? I thought Papa is sending one of the maids? Paanong siya ang narito? Alam ba ni Papa ito? Paano'ng..."Rylle."His baritone sends shivers to my insides. Hindi ako nakapagsalita bilang protesta. Marami akong gustong itanong sa kanya. But not here. Not when Ma

I felt nervous with what he said. His words were marked with finality. Na kailanman hindi ako makakatakas mula sa kanya. It seems like he's cursing me. That wherever I go to escape, my end destination will always be him."You don't understand," iling ko."Then make me understand. It's so hard to guess what you're thinking everytime, Ei. Tell me what you really feel, baby. I will try to understand... except us being apart."My eyes watered as I watch him in pain. Parang tinutusok ang puso ko sa nakikita sa mga mata niya."I don't want you involved in my problems anymore. Dahil hindi natin alam kung ano'ng pwedeng mangyari sa susunod. You could be their next target kasi palagi tayong magkasama. Paano kung gawin nila iyon, huh? I won't be able to take it if other people get hurt because of me. Naiintindihan mo ba?"I said as I stood up, trying to prove a point. He went near me at hinawakan ang braso ko."So you're worried about me

Tahimik kaming dalawa nang nag-agahan. I could feel his glances at me habang ako naman ay hindi maiangat ang tingin sa kanya.I suddenly feel awkward after our conversation. And I am also bothered as to how I soften when it comes to him.For the past years I vowed to myself that I won't let him fool me again. Na kahit pa magkita kami ulit, hindi ko na hahayaan ang sarili kong mapalapit sa kanya.For me he's the biggest trap, the most dangerous cliff I have to avoid, and the lovely flame that would burn me intensely.I presented to wash the dishes after we ate. Hindi ko alam kung saan siya nagpunta pagkatapos. Ngunit narinig ko ang pagbukas at pagsarado ng main door kaya baka lumabas at nagpahangin.His stay here still bothers me. Paano ang kompanyang pinatatakbo niya gayong nandito siya?I planned on strolling on the shore later. Kapag hindi na masyadong mainit ang sikat ng araw. Wala rin naman akong ibang pwedeng gawin dito sa
