He’s gone (Tagalog)

T H I R T E E N ( mad )

Sky

“But did your ex loved you? I bet she didn’t,” I smirked and he slammed the table.

May nabasag na baso.

“Tell your siblings to get ready, I’ll take you guys home,” he said with authority.

“You’re so dumb Sky! Why did you do that?” I whispered to myself.

Nagmamadali siyang pumunta sa elevator.

“Uy, sorry na,” I looked at him and saw how mad his face went.

That’s so funny. Pero hindi ako tatawa baka mapatay ako. Ang funny ng face niya namumula.

“I was just kidding you know,” I tried to laugh just to lessen his anger but it didn’t work, it made him angrier.

“You think that was a joke for you?” he raised his voice.

His voice scared me, like a thunder roaring loudly.

This is so f****d up. Pulang-pula na siya parang nag-uusok na ang mga tenga ni Jetro. Si Jetro rin kasi, he takes everything as a serious matter.

Nakarating na kami sa music room at napansin agad nila ang mukha ni Jetro.

“Sky what did you do?” Amber asked.

Should I say that I made him mad? Wag nalang siguro baka ano pang sasabihin nila sa akin. Pinuntahan ko sina kuya at sinabihan ko silang mag-ready na dahil uuwi na kami.

“Agad-agad? Did you guys fought?” I’m shaking. Grabe nakakatakot ang pagsigaw ni Jetro kanina. I can’t even answer Amber’s question.

Tumakbo ako palabas dahil natatakot na ako kay Jetro. Every movement he makes, it tells me that he’s going to kill me.

“Sky wait!” sumunod sina kuya at Amber saken.

Pumasok agad ako sa kotse at nakita ko si Jetro sa balcony nila. He stared at me devilishly, parang may pinaplano siya saken.

“Kuya let’s get out of this place as soon as possible,” pinaandar agad ni kuya Sol ang kotse nang bigla nalang siyang huminto.

“Parang may tao,” ani kuya Sol.

Chineck ko kung may tao ba talaga na nakaharang pero may nakita akong itim na pusa.

Itim na pusa....

Nagising ako dahil sa maingay na boses ni Amber.

Was that a dream? Sana nga panaginip lang yun, but it feels real. Mamaya na nga ako mag-isip ng iba pang bagay, malalate na lami.

Hindi na ako kumain dahil wala akong gana at dumiretso na sa school.

Nakita ko si Jetro na mag-isa sa bench ng school park namin kaya pinuntahan ko siya at sumunod saken si Amber.

“Hi! Good morning!” I greeted but he walked away.

So I wasn’t dreaming?

“Amber tell me, did Aj and I fought last night?”

“Yes, his face was so red nga eh,” napatakip ako ng bibig. Hindi nga yun panaginip. “Ano ba kasi ang nangyari?”

“Ok so ganito yun, we were making a cookies and y’all were supposed to decide if mine is better or his pero nabored ako sa kalagitnaan ng paggawa namin so I told him, why not ask each other a question while making a cookie and then he agreed. I asked him about his ex and made jokes about it kaya ayun,” sana nga tumahimik nalang ako.

“You should do something to him. He looked very mad last night,” tama si Amber, kailangan ko mag-isip ng paraan para mawala na ang galit niya saken.

Nag-ring na yung bell kaya pumasok na kami sa classroom namin. Buti nalang hindi ko katabi si Jetro.

Where is he?

Lumapit si Kate samin.

“Hi Sky! That weirdo guy asked me to change seats with him buti naman.”

Kate is my friend but I want Jetro to sit infront of me, not her.

I just smiled.

“And also, hi Amber!” nagulat si Amber dahil alam ni Kate ang pangalan niya.

“You know my name?”

“Yeah, you’re the smart kid from the other section and also Sky’s sister right?” Amber nodded.

Binalik ni Kate ang tingin niya saken.

“Why are you staring at that weirdo guy?” hindi ko siya pinansin.

Buong umaga ako nakatitig sa kaniya at nag-iisip kung ano ang gagawin ko. Hindi ako nakinig sa klase but don’t worry, Amber is smart naman, she can teach me the lessons at home.

Lunch time na at pinuntahan kami nina kuya to eat together. I didn’t lose my eye off Jetro. I wanna see what will he do. May binili saglit sina kuya kaya naisipan kong lapitan si Jetro.

“Amber, diyan ka lang,”

Walk slowly and think. Should I apologize? Baka mas mainis pa. No really, I have to apologize, hindi tama ang ginawa ko. Pero nag-sorry na ako pero mas nainis lang siya. Maybe wala siya sa mood kahapon kaya ganun siya.

Ahh my head hurts.

“Hi,” I sit beside him. “Look, I really am sorry for what I did yesterday. I didn’t mean to ask you that. I thought you would just stay calm and not be mad if I say something sarcastic pero bigla kang nagalit. Sanay kasi ako na kapag nagsasarkastiko ako, hindi sila nagagalit.” I added.

He continued eating at kinuha niya ang headphones niya.

I have a great idea! I know he can’t hear me now, it’s time to say bad words!

“Alam mo, napakaarte mo naman. I was just being sarcastic duh. If you think I’m being sincere, then you’re wrong. Lalaki ka pero ganyan ka? Ew! Change your personality. Not because you’re super rich, you expect me to understand that weird personality of yours? Hell no!” I said those words while smiling para di halata na pinagsasabihan ko siya ng nga masasamang salita.

I take his headphones off.

“Please listen to me, I was just being sarcastic, okay? I’m sorry. Now can you please stop avoiding me?” hindi niya parin ako pinapansin.

“Are you alone? You can sit with us,” may taong tumapik sa likod ko.

Tall, beautiful , perfect body, looks super rich like Jetro and looks like an international model.

“He’s not alone, I’m with him.”
