My Sweet Pianist

Chapter 25: Breakfast issues

Author's note:

"We used to be best buddies and now we're not. I wished you would tell me why.."

*Clue.

"Seriously, what did I said while I was asleep?" Kulit na tanong sa akin ni Chris.

"Wala nga. It's nothing important anyway. Lasing ka kaya siguro nagsalita ka ng kung anu-ano habang tulog ka." I said in my cold tone.

"I'm not drunk last night."

"I think you're now having a hangover. Amoy alak ka simula ulo hanggang paa."

We're now here at the sofa while giving him a hot coffee to reduce his dizziness. And how did he woke up?

Well, here's the recap.

Outside my house, (mga 4:15 am ata)

"Chris, let's get you inside."   

"Ka--- Karisse..."  

"Chris... Enough." Sabi ko.

"Sorry...." He lifelessly replied. 

"Sorry?"

Hinawakan ko ang kamay nya.....

"I... I love her."

As if on cue, parang lumabas ng sabay-sabay ang mga luha ko... Pinigilan kong umiyak... Inilapit ko pa ang sarili ko sa kanya, sa may bandang tenga nya....

At bumulong...

"Sa-sana ako nalang yun..."

The end.

Back to present.

He woke up after I whispered kaya hindi na ako masyado nahirapan na dalhin siya papasok ng bahay ko.

Umusod siya palapit sakin at sumandal siya sa balikat ko...

Huh???

"Anong ginagawa mo Christian???"

"You called me Christian. Why?"

"Nothing. Bagay din pala sayo pag tinatawag kita na Christian..."

"You really reminded me of her."

"Of whom? Of Karisse?"

"No... My sister."

Sister? Si Ate Yue?

"I'll explain later... But for now, I want to savor this moment with you..."

Tumingala siya't hinalikan ako sa pisngi... Then he looked at me, admitting his sin..

"I'm sorry for being such a stupid boyfriend yesterday... Those words weren't meant for you... It was for that cheap douche who punched me while I was listening to you at the phone..."

"I'm sorry..."

"Hush na, Twinkie Ko... We're okay na." He said caressing my hair. "Why did you call me all of a sudden? And you didn't mentioned to me that you already have a new phone."

Honesty is the best policy.... He has the right to know. But I get the feeling that it's yet the right time to tell him everything on what Keon has told me. White lies for now. Ayoko na ulit sila mag-away ni Keon... Not now... and maybe not never...
