"Are we in a race or something?! akala ko ba chill drive lang?"
I came down in my white horse panting ganon din ang dalawa.. We have a quick bonding with our own horses and decided to ride on to it. Pero ang usapan ay chill ride lang pero dahil sa iniisip ko hindi ko na namalayang sobrang bilis na pala ng pagpapatakbo ko at sinabayan naman ako ng dalawa.
"Akala ko din.." Maikling tugon ni Verena
"I'm faster than my kuya and from all of you! but now I can't even catch up with you Zari!" pagod na pagod na sabi ni Chandria
I just ignored them and continue walking papalapit sa kulungan ng mga kabayo. Our parents own this place basically we own this place and it is located sa subdivision na tinitirhan namin kaya mas malapit saakin
"Is there a problem?" Chandria stops me from walking sa pag hawak sa mga braso ko. Maldita at brat si Chandria but she makes sure that we have space from his heart kaya masasabi kong sincere siya whenever she checks on me.
Sinilip ko sa likuran niya si Verena na hindi umiimik at hinihintay akong mag salita. She is always like that she makes sure na nanjan siya sa tabi ko and never niya ako pinipilit na sabihin ang problema ko specially when I'm not comfortable in sharing it.
"Do you guys want to skate?" I ask them faking my smile
They both just nod and follow me from behind. I didn't hear a word from then but I just feel their presence. They're both very careful in every words that they said probably nangangapa kung ano nga ba ang mood ko. And that's the best thing from them nirerespeto nila if may mga bagay na ayaw mong sabihin sakanila.
Hindi pa kami nakakalapit sa ice skating area ay tanaw ko na ang isang babae na nag sisimulang mag warm up sa gilid. I then realized that it was Xianee she joined us! maybe because Chandria texted her.
I only texted Verena to joined me horse back riding and I didn't expect na iinvite din niya si Chandria.. not that ayaw kong kasama si Chandria but alam ko lang na pag kasama siya malaki ang possibility ba kasama din niya ang kambal niya at pag nangyare yon baka sumunod na din ng mga boys... especially Raz...
They also invited Xianee to join us sa horse back ride pero sabi nito ay busy daw siya... Pero look ate her warming up for ice skating. Malamang tinamad lang siya at ayaw niyang humawak ng kabayo dahil hindi pa kaya naliligo yung kabayo niya!
"What took you guys so long! Kanina pa ako ditong nag wa-warm up"
"You know what Xianee, kung sumama ka lang mangabayo kanina edi sana you wouldn't make hintay to us!" Chandria rolled her eyes
"Did you tell any one that we are here?" I looked at them one by one making sure that we are all alone together. At walang hahabol na mga... bubwit...
"I didn't tell my kuya"
"Me also, didn't tell Rad"
We all looked at Verena.. making it sure na wala din siyang pinagsabihan. Tho wala naman talaga sino pa ba nakakausap niya ng sobrang e kaming dalawa ang close sa isa't-isa.
She just zip her mouth and continue putting his skating gear. Hindi na ako nag lagay dahil sa aming tatlo forte ko ang pag i-ice skating. Mahilig kaming lahat pero kagaya ni Chandria na gamay ang pangangabayo ako naman mas gamay ko ang pag i-ice skating.
"Let's go!"
We all start ice skating nag paikot ikot lang kami sa loob ng rink. They are all doing their thing and I'm also doing my thing. Ginawa ko din ang mga stunts na ginagawa ko noong nag cocompete pa ako sa skating. Wala akong ibang ginawa kundi gawin ang mga stunt na masasabi kong delikado lalo na kung hindi ka sanay at ang mag pa ikot ikot dahil sa tumatakbo sa isip ko.
Hindi ko namalayan na habang lumalalim ang pag iisip ko ay pabilis ng pabilis na ang andar ko hanggang sa mawalan na ako ng balanse sa katawan ko at natumba sa loob ng rink. Dumulas ang paa ko at tumama ang katawan at ulo ko sa bakal na nag sisilbing harang.
"Omy gosh, Zari!" Rinig kong sigaw ni Chandria
"What the f**k!" dali daling pumunta sa pwesto ko si Verena
"Wait.. Let me check on her!" Xianee bend her knees kasi malamig ang yelo sa tuhod niya.
Xianee checks on my elbow dahil baka daw may possible injury ang elbow at ang hita ko sa lakas ng impact ng pagkakatama. Xianee takes up a medicine course saaming lahat siya ang nakakaalam ng mga first aid or mas malalim pa sa first aid.
"Just wounds and cuts sa lower lip mo nothing serious. Pero kailangan natin malinisan agad ang sugat mo to make sure..." She said seriously "Chandria go get my first aid kit bag ko sa car"
Chandria immediately follow Xianee's instruction
"Can you move both of your hands" Itinaas ko ang dalawang kamay ko to proved na kaya ko. Masakit lang dahil sa pag tama at pag kaskas sa yelo.
"How bout your feet?" I also move my feet
When they make sure that I only got wounds, cuts, and some bruises na hindi pa masyadong visible ay inalalayan na ako ng dalawa papunta sa gilid ng rink at pinaupo ako sa bench. Tinanggal na din namin ang skating shoes. Hindi din naman katagalan ay dumating na si Chandria dala dala ang inutos ni Xianee.
They all putting some ointment sa mga sugat ko when all of a sudden my tears fell down.
"Oh my gosh! did i hurt you?" Chandria panicked while looking for a tissue to wipe my tears
"Zari..." Verena patted my back "You know that you can tell us everything right?"
"What is it, Zariyah?" When i heard all of them being concerned to me hindi na ako matigil kakaiyak.
"I-i.. Confessed.." It is almost a whisper because i couldn't say it out loud "I confessed my feelings with him..." I couldn't sustain my feelings and my tears couldn't stop from falling. I felt like my heart is tearing apart.
The flashback of what happen just came in my mind when I say I like him.
I like you!" Sigaw ko
"What?" He asked confused
"I said I like you, Raziel Arriston Bertarelli"
"You're out of your mind!" He tries to walk away but I stopped him
"I-is that a-all..." tumungo ako ng bahagya to hide the tears from my eyes.
"What do you expect me to say? That I like you too?"
"And do you think na naniniwala ako sa mga sinasabi mo?" he said full of disgust in his face. "Can you even prove it?"
"Yes... ofcourse I can" hindi ko na napigilang harapin siya... I wipe my tears using my palm my vision become blurry
"What a player!" He smirked and turn his back at me.
After that hurtful words he turn his back at me.
