Truth That Hurts

TTH 13-Who Is He

(Malia POV)

"Sorry, I know it's your rest day today and it's getting late,and eh I'm here. "Sabi ng nakayukong si Keith pagkabukas ko ng pinto.

He is so cute back then when were kids, but now I can't see his face clearly because of his long bangs.

I was drunk when I left him at Limelight to go with Klaude and I feel sorry for I did that.

Para makaiwas na rin ng gulo kaya ginawa ko yun, kilala ko kasi ang ugali ni Klaude.

"I'm sorry too Keith,for what happened at the Lime, it's our reunion but I left you there. "

"It's fine Mel, I understand. "He said lifting his head and our eyes meet, daaaaamn, breathhhhh.

This is the firstime I see his face ten years back then.

When he lift his bang, heaven he is so coooooool.Ang ganda ng cute na patay na nunal sa kanang ilalim ng mata niya.

"Is there something wrong? "He asked, siguro nahalata niyang naiilang ako.

"Errr ammm no, nothing don't mind me, come on in. "Binuksan ko na ng tuluyan ang pinto at pinapasok siya.

"Don't feel uncomfortable with me I'm still Rodwen Keith Jalandoni ten years ago, maybe taller and broader but still this is me. "He said smilling.

So hard to feel comfortable with a grown up Keith, he is so damn cute with his dark straight hair and perfect jaw line.

"Ah, yeah, sorry.Sit down, drinks? Snacks? What do you want? "

"It's fine Mel, I'm here to tell you about what I found out during the investigation of yout Dad's murder. "

Ah akala ko pumunta siya para yayain akong lumabas, hindi pala.

"Ah I see, so anong nalaman mo? "

"Gaano mo na katagal kilala si Klaude? "

Klaude? Anung kinalaman ni Klaude dito?

"Short while maybe, months, 3 or 4 months. "

"I see, I don't know if you are playing innocent or just stupid. "

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya.

"What are you trying to say? "

"Well, I don't want to ruin the things between you ang Klaude, so know him yourself. "

"What does it mean,? naguguluhan ako. "

"If you have time, visit the Hacienda Jalandoni na ngayon ay Hacienda Lacosta na, marami kang mahahanap na kasagutan doon. "He said at tumayo na.

"Do you know something? "

"Yeah, but it's better if you'll know it yourself. "

Hinatak ko ang necktie niya.

"Tell me! "I shout.

"No Mel,gusto ko ikaw mismo ang makaalam kasi,

"No Keith, tell me now, I want to know about it, you know how important for me to know about it, it's for my parents, you know that! "I said half cry.

"But Mel ayaw kong pangunahan siya, I know alam niya na and he is waiting the right time to tell you about what happened to your Dad. "

"Who the fucken "he" you are talking about! "

"Better you go to Hacienda Lacosta. "

"Why are you doing this? Why are you hiding something from... For.. Me.. It's... So.. Important. I

. Neeed to know.. "I said crying.

"I don't have the right to tell you because I don't know the whole story but he did know, so let him tell you for him to explain himself. "

"WHO THE hell is "he"? "

"Please don't force it, don't force me Mel. Nakiusap siya saakin. It's hard for me, naiipit ako sa inyong dalawa, you care each other. "

Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya. Kilala ko ba ang pumatay sa parents ko, is he my friend?

"Who? Tell me Keith, now please. "

"At anu ang gagawin mo sakanila kong nalaman mo na? "

"I'll, I'll talk to them, err eh honestly I don't know what to do. "

"Listen, I don't know what to say too. "

"Then tell me where is he, who the hell is he! Damn it! "

"Mel sorry but, I promised him."

"You, you, damn, you promised me too. "Hikbing sabi ko at hinigpitan ang hawak sa necktie niya.

"You promised me. "

"You promised me. "

"You promised me. "I whisper between my cries.

Nagulat ako ng hinila ng dahan dahan ni Keith ang buhok ko kaya na pa tingala ako, he pull me closer at dahan dahang nilapit ang mukha niya at nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang hinalikan niya ako.

"I'm really sorry. "He whisper and hug me tight.

"So that's how you console me? Kiss me and hug me thats it? "

"Well ahmp, I'm sorry but I can't tell you about it and sorry because I came here with out any present. "

Napangiti ako sa sinabi niya, bakit ang hirap magalit kay Keith, na alam ko namang naglilihim siya saakin.

"It's Ok, I guess its still well amp, it was enough you came here and gave me hope na mahahanap ko na ang pumatay sa mga magulang ko. "

"Oh I see, glad you understood. "Sabi niya hagod ang buhok ko.

Were so sweet backthen, we go to school holding hands and we used to bake cakes and make brownies and cookies.

"Yeah ofcourse, thankyou for the help. " Maybe soon enough makikilala ko na ang mga pumatay sa magulang ko. Tama si Keith, alam kong manumbalik ang sakit pero kailangan ko paring bumalik sa Hacienda Jalandoni kung saan ako pinanganak.

"You know I'm willing to help because you are so dear to me. "He said seriously.

"Really? "

"Acting innocent? You know that since 5 Malia. "He said into my eyes.

"Hmp salamat at bumalik kana. "

"Ofcourse, and I'm glad to be with you again. "

"Oh me too. "I said at kumalas na sa yakap niya.

Pakiusapan ko sana siyang samahan ako sa Hacienda pero nakakahiya alam kong may duty siya.

"Can I sleep here tonight?!

Si Klaude palang ang kaunaunahang lalaking nakatulog dito sa bahay ko.

"Well sure, help your self on the sofa. "

"Thankyou Mel. For that ako ang magluluto for our dinner for sure di kapa nakapagdinner. "He said.

"Yeah, cge maghalungkat ka na lang sa ref ng maluluto. "

"Okey. "He said at naglakad na pakusina.

Tumunog ang doorbell kaya tumakbo na ako palabas.

Nagulat ako ng pagbukas ko.

"Klaude, what are you doing here? "

Si Klaude, siguro galing sa conference dahil naka formal suit pa ito.

"I sleep here tonight? I need to tell you something. "

"Well amp can you tell me now, what is it? "

Para kasing ang pangit kung si Keith at Klaude makikitulog sa bahay ko ngayong gabi.

"I need to explain my self so that I stay here long. "He said at pumasok na, damn.

"Mel who is it? "Sabi ni Keith na kakalabas lang.

Nagulat silang dalawa nung makita ang isa't isa.

Tiningnan ako ni Klaude at
