Chapter 33 : Denial
"Oh my. Good thing you were fine! Bakit kasi nag text ka while you're driving?" I know I'm nagging but I can't help it. Sana safe siya ngayon diba? Sana nandun kami kina Ghene, nagsasaya at hindi ganitong nagaalala.
"I just wanted to text you and check up on you. Luckily sa puno ako tumama and hindi kami nagkabanggaan nung kasalubong ko."
"Kahit na. Keitthe I want you safe." Inayos ko yung yelo at tinapat yun sa pasa niya pero hinawakan niya yung kamay ko.
"You want me safe but I want to prioritize you. Kahit mabangga pa ako o madisgrasya I'll feel swell lalo na kapag nalaman kong okay ka lang." Diniinan ko yung pag press ko ng ice sa pasa niya.
Good thing pasa and konting gasgas lang meron siya and that didn't actually ruin his appearance. Mukha siyang bad boy na kakatapos lang makipag bubugan.
"Ouch!"
"Puro ka kalokohan!" Tumawa lang siya.
"Sam hindi ka pa ba naniniwala? Basta pag sayo hindi ako magloloko. I kid about other things but when it comes to you I'm serious. Damn serious." Sige Samantha, kiligin ka lang.
"E-ewan ko sayo." Nakakailang siya grabe.
"Tss.. you know what, you're being unfair."
"Huh?" I didn't get what he said. How am I being unfair?
"Wala. Sabi ko, gusto kong pumunta ng fun fair bukas." I cringed. As if I'm deaf not to hear what he sad earlier.
"Fine but tonight you need rest. Okay?" Sinakyan ko nalang yung sinabi niya. I don't want to argue kaya hinayaan ko lang.
"Okay. I'll rest basta katabi kita. Pero parang gusto ko ngang mag painit eh. Wanna play fire with me Sam?" P-play fire? Sunog?!
"Nako Keitthe delikado tayo niyan. Baka masunog yung bahay! Tsaka madamay pa natin yung ibang bahay." I punched him weakly and he winced but laughed at the same time.
"Bakit ka tumatawa?!" I pout because of his chortle. Nakakainis naman.
￣ 3￣
"Let me give you a hint. It includes body heat and when it is combined it can make fire. Kung gusto mo okay lang sakin. I'm willing to risk everything for you." I punch him weakly again. Bakit kasi ang hina ko? Dapat kasing lakas nalang ako ni Ghene para tumigil na si Keitthe sa kalokohan niya eh. Yung tipong tingin ko palang ma i-intimidate na siya.
Nanununtok na nga ako wala pa ring nangyari. Tinawanan pa ako. Keitthe is a hopeless case. There's no doubt about it.
After that ay umalis na kami sa hospital. Sinundo kami ni Em baka kasi pag si Keitthe ang pinag-drive ko ay kaming lahat na ang mapahamak and seriously, baka hindi pa niya kaya. I don't want to add fuel to the fire and it's Keitthe that we're talking about.
"Buti walang nasira sa mukha mo par. Wala naman kasing masisira eh." Tumawa-tawa pa si Em.
"Tss.. I'm way handsomer than you Em. Kung walang kasira-sira sakin, mas lalo naman sayo." Em gave a cute smug expression.
"I cannot fathom your egotism pre. Engrish yon ha! Engrish! Nakakahawa ka." Feeling ko mas madidigrasya pa kami sa driving ni Em eh. Daldal kasi ng daldal and he easily loses focus.
Pero kahit na baliw si Em I really appreciate him as a friend and I like the way he is.
"I think na hindi naman talaga naapektuhan yung mukha ni Keitthe. Gwapo pa rin siya and nagmukha lang siyang kakatapos makipagsuntukan. Parang bad boy." Natahimik silang dalawa until I realize whay I just said.
