The Fault In Our Stars

6

"On the other hand, I'm glad because were together,having a bonding, laughing. I even promise to her that I will take her back home. But..",My voice start to broke. I feel like I'm gonna explode my tears and sobs.

"Hey",nag aalalang tawag ni Cale sakin. I smile painfully as I remember how we laughed together, even if it's just the two of us. Without dad.

"Pero pagbalik ko dito, wala na sya. Dad fetch her and they go back to house like nothing happened",I can't help myself but to let my tears passed down from my eyes through my cheeks.

"Pupunta ka naman sa Sabado sa bahay nyo, diba? Makikita mo roon si Tita. Don't worry, siguro naman si Grayson na bahala sa Mommy mo. After all, he's your brother",she calmly explained.

I shooked my head. I can't believe that I'm the daughter of them, but dad chose Grayson over me. He definitely have a good life and happy family with his mother and my dad. He's really an asshole after all. A f*****g cheater!

"I want to sleep. Thanks for your time, Cale. I want to rest. Maaga pa pasok natin bukas. Bye, have a goodnight",I didn't wait for her response and immediately end the vc.

I let myself rest when I felt soft mattress from the foam of my bed. I closed my eyes for awhile. I forgot to eat but when I remember the box of donuts and cup of starbucks, I open my eyes and went to ref to get it and went back to my room and eat it there. Donuts are my favorites comfort food, one of my comfort foods.

I ate it and drink the frappe. It's a caramel frappe. I love sweets and by eating these, I feel like I'm being comfort. Mabilis lumipas ang oras at hindi ko namalayan na naubos ko na iyon.

I laughed like I did an embarrassing thing. Hindi naman ako nag aalala na tataba ako dahil hindi naman ako tumataba at wala sa lahi namin iyon. My waist line is 22 and my weight is 34.

After I ate, I cleaned it up and threw it to trash bin. I want my condo to be well clean and no stains. The color of my condo is from my favorite Cdrama which is ZGDX. It's red, white and black. It's all my favorite color and my favorite Cdrama is have that color, so I decide for it. It's also my ideal room. Hindi namna lahat ng babae mahilig sa pink. I hate pink for pete's sake. I prefer the dark color like white, red and black. Although, white is a plain one.

Nakatulog na agad ako ng mahiga na ako sa kama ko. Napagod ako hindi lang physically, kundi emotionally. Hanggang sa pagtulog, dala ko parin ang lungkot at sakit na nararamdamdan.

I'm still doubting why Zachary wants to court me. It's still suspicious. Alam ko kung paano nya nagagawang seryoso at sinserong nakakatingin sakin na para bang normal iyon, na iyon talaga ang nararamdaman nya para sakin. Maybe if I'm numb, I can recognize it but I'm not. I can feel anything bad and if someone wants to play with me and my feelings like I'm a games on phone and if they win, they'll be in the next level and play it again until they satisfied.

No one's gonna fool me because before they did that, I'll make sure they'll pay for what they did.

Zachary Matthew Fabian POV

"Really? Napapayag mo agad? Ang galing mo talaga bro!",papuri nila sakin. Nandito kami ngayon sa bar at umiinom.

Kanina pa kami nandito magmula ng ianunsyo ko sa kanila na napapayag ko na si Tatiana na ligawan ko sya. Akala ko mahihirapan ako. Akala ko lang pala.

"Box of donuts at frappe ng Starbucks lang pala katapat ni Tatiana e", tumatawang saad ni Blake. Kahit ako ay masaya din dahil hindi ako pinahirapan ni Tatiana. Mabilis pala iyon mapaikot.

"I thought she's a play girl, but why did she let Zachary to play with her?", nagtatakang opinyon ni Blaxton. Binatukan naman sya ni Blake, na katabi nya lang.

"Hindi nya alam yon gago",ani ni Blake. Napapailing nalanv ako sa kanilang dalawa dahil sa inaakto nila. Para silang mga aso. Tahol ng tahol.

"I can't believe that she agree about it. I just wait for her outside their department and gave her box of donuts and also starbucks frappe and she said yes",hindi parin makapaniwalang saad ko. Pabiro nila akong sinapak sa braso at uminom ng whiskey.

"That's your genes bro. Gwapo mo kasi kaya siguro naattract sayo",tatawa tawang opinyon naman ni Blaxton.

"Huwag kang pakampante bro kasi play girl si Tatiana. You didn't know the traps behind her acception for you to court her. Maybe she feels something about this plan. You should take care and be careful. Mahirap makabangga ang isang Tatiana Caden Yvonne Pangilinan",Blake seriously reminded me. I gulped hard and drink my whiskey. I don't think she's aware of what me and my friends bet about her, but it's not impossible for her to not to know about it.

"Huwag nalang kaya natin ituloy itong dare na to? Baka may masama pang mangyari e",pagdadalawang isip ni Blaxton. Sinamaan naman sya ng tingin ni Blake. Napapailing nalang akong sunod sunod na nagsalin sa baso ko at ininom yon. I want to relax myself.

"Gago ka talaga Blaxton. Kung kailan nasimulan na, tsaka ka magdadalawang isip! Com to think of it, dahil sa dare natin, magiging close sila Zachary at Tatiana. Malalaman din natin kung ano ba talagang dahilan ni Tatiana kung bakit sya play girl. Just relax, bro",apila naman ni Blake kay Blaxton. Nakatingin lang ako sa kanila at pinagmamasdan sila.

Habang nagtatalo sila sa roon, naisipan kong lumipat sa couch para mas comfortable. Kaya sumunod naman sakin papunta sa couch hanggang sa nakaupo na kami. Maya maya, habang nakaupo ako, katabi ng mga kaibigan ko may nagsilapitan na mga taga UP at base sa uniform nila, mga law student.

"Hi boys",bati nung isang matangkad na babae na brown ang buhok at brown ang mga mata.

Tatlo silang mga babae at halatang mayayaman dahil sa kanilang ayos. Naupo sila sa tabi namin habang umiinom ng alak. Hinayaan lang naman sila. Seryoso akong umiinom ng alak habang ang babaeng katabi ko ay lumilingkis na sakin. Umupo sya sa kandungan ko at pinulupot ang isang kamay sa batok ko habang ang isa ay may hawak na baso na may lamang alak.

She looked at me with desire in her eyes. High tolerance ako pagdating sa alak pero parang nalalasing ako sa mga tingin nya. The next thing I know, hinapit ko sya palapit sakin at binigyan ng halik. I smirked between our kisses and I can feel she's turn on but before we did something wrong, marahan ko syang binalik sa kinauupuan nya.

Tiningnan ko ang mga kaibigan ko at nakita kong tumba na sila. Muli kong binalingan ang babaeng katabi ko at napansin kong nakasuot sya ng Id. Napansin kong sa UP sya nag aaral dahil pang UP ang Id nya. Tiningnan ko sya muli sa kanyang mga mata bago ibalik sa Id na suot nya. Nang maintindihan ang ibig kong sabihin, sya na mismo ang naglapit ng Id nya sakin. Tiningnan ko iyon at binasa.

Alistair Nate Tyson

Law Student

Her name sounds music to my ears. It feels like you'll never be indanger if you're with her. I like her name.

Binalingan ko muli ang babae at nakangiti na ito sa akin. Nginitian ko din sya ng matamis. Mala anghel ang mukha nya. Hindi nakakasawang titigan. Para bang kapag tumingin ka sa kanya, you'll get lost.

"I'll take you home",pormal na turan ko sa kanya. Ngumiti naman ito bago ilahad ang kamay sakin. Hinawakan ko ang kamay nya at iginiya sya palabas ng bar.

Nang makalabas na kami, binitawan ko na ng marahan ang kamay nya at humarap sa kanya. She meet my gaze and smile sweetly. Para bang hindi sya lasing. Napansin nya ata iyon kaya nagsalita sya.

"I don't easily get drunk. I have a high tolerance at alcohol so you don't have to worry about me",marahang pagpapaalam nya sakin.

"I insist, ihahatid na kita",I suggest her. She playfully rolled her eyes and looked at other direction.

She looked at her wrist watch before looking at me. "Okay, I don't have a choice. Malapit lang naman dito tinutuluyan ko"

I smiled at her for her to know that it's fine. We walked towards my car and I open the door for her. I also guide her head not to hurt when she's about to come inside my car.

Pumihit ako sa driver's seat at pumasok na sa loob. I drive my car gently and smoothly to prevent from accident because we're drunk. I want to take her to her destination safely.

Tinype nya sa waze ang daan kung saan ko sya ibababa. Medyo may kalayuan iyon at medyo malapit sa UP. Kaya siguro nandito sya nanunuluyan. Tahimik lang akong nakikinig sa mga kwento nya habang abala ako sa pagmamaneho. Madalas ay nakikitawa ako dahil sa mga jokes nya. Magaan syang kasama at para bang matagal na kaming magkakilala. Same vibes din kami dahil madalas mas gusto ko uminom kapag stress o kaya naman ay dahil gusto ko lang.

"Salamat sa paghatid. Ano nga ulit ang pangalan mo?",natatawang tanong nya. Nakitawa naman ako dahil ang cute nya.

"Zachary. I'm Zachary Matthew Fabian and you are Alistair Nate Tyson", nakangiting pagpapakilala ko.

"I'll always keep your name in my mind, Zachary. Thanks for the ride. Take care",she sweetly replied and lean towards me so she could kiss my cheeks. After that, she unloked the seatbelt and open the door so she can leave.

Nakangiti ko syang tinanaw hanggang sa masigurado kong nakapasok na sya sa building ng condo, medyo may kahabaan ang byahe ko pabalik ng condo ko pero I don't mind.

Nagdrive na ako paalis at nanatiling inaalala ang pagsasama namin ng kakakilala ko lang na babae. Masarap kasama at hindi ka maboboring dahil sya ang bubuhay sa usapan nyo. My dream woman. I hope we'll going to meet again soon.

Nakangiti akong nakarating ng matiwasay sa condo unit ko. Nagpadeliver nalang ako dahil medyo lasing din ako kaya wala akong gana magluto. Matapos kumain, uminom ako ng maraming tubig, tapos dumiretso na ako agad sa kwarto ko at naligo. Kailangan ko mahimasmasan dahil ayokong gumising kinabukasan na masakit ang ulo.

See you in my dreams, Alistair.
