Hallex POV:
"Omg! Let's go home na I'm going to announce kay Xav the info. It's nakaka-excite to tell. You know how he love it kapag he hears na siya yung winner. Yiiieee", kinikilig na saad ni Temi habang naglalakad kami papuntang Parking Lot. "Wait let's go buy some betamax it's his favorite. Let's celebrate narin and drink some liquor. You know what's best on drinking naman diba? You choose nalang what drinks ba yung kaya ng aming tolerance", she was about to open the door of her car when she stop again. "And also!! Invite everyone!! This is a big deal and I am proud I am his bestie. Call them now"
"Who to call? The cops?", I asked and she suddenly gave me that disgust look. I laughed sa kadahilanang she's always like this kapag galit na sa mga sinasagot ko.
"What?! You know we don't have other friends..."
Natigilan siya at napaisip bigla dahilan para matawa ako ganun rin siya. "Oh my God wala pala tayong friends HAHAHAA let's buy nalang for us...", she said and started to drive na ginawa ko rin sa sarili kong kotse.
....
"Ate is this Edible?_"
"Temi!!", pigil ko sa kaniya which she gave me a confuse look. "Ano ba nakakahiya, of course it's edible isaw yan", galit kong paliwanag but she only pouted in confussion.
"You know how sensitive Xav sa mga foods. Baka niyan it's a worm pala and they have babies pano yun lalabas sa belly ni Xav. Of course I'm worried lang naman..."
Napasapo ako sa ulo ko't napapikit ng mariin. Ohh God not with this girl again. "Sorry po Ate it's her first time buying but she already eated this kind of foods...", nahihiya kong paliwanag sa tinderang masama na yung tingin kay Temi. Binili nalang namin yung Betamax na gustong gusto bilhin ni Temi at barbeque kasi alam kong susuko rin siya sa pagkain ng Betamax.
"Hey wanna join us? Xavier won the competition. There's so many Businessman that is inetrested to invest at his company. Halos it's full na nga yung Museum and half of it wants to buy his artwork. Of course we refuse mahal pa yun sa buhay ni Hallex eh"
Napataas ako ng kilay when she said that while we are in the elevator pataas ng dorm namin. She smiled at tumango, "Oo we are here na nga papuntang dorm niya..."
Few seconds past her smiles fade and the aura of her eyes change. "Where are you?"
Bigla akong kinabahan when her voice starts to be deep. Whenever her shrillish voice starts to change into deep voice you can really tell how serious she is. Namtay ang tawag at mukha siyang nagmamadali. "Ano meron?"
"Si Xav. They really broke up. Ayaw na daw talaga makipag-balikan ni Lance sa kaniya"
Because of that when the elevator starts to open ay nagmamadali na kaming maglakad papuntang dorm niya. When we opened it we saw him sleeping while hugging a pillow sa sofa. Tahimik namin itong nilapitan and we saw how tears still pouring onto his face. Mahinang pinunas iyun ni Temi. I saw Dexel sa terrace and he is also looking intently at Xavier. Nilapitan ko siya at nakiupo narin sa upuan sa Terrace. "You are there.. anong nangyare?"
I kinda feel something is off with Dexel's aura tonight while staring at Xavier. He was holding a liquor and drinking it nonstop without cutting his gaze at Xav. "Sobra yung iyak niya..."
I heard Xavier's sobs kaya nagalala ako at iniwan si Dexel roon. Temi already hugging him at naiiyak narin. Nakapikit parin si Xav pero alam naming gising parin siya. "Iiyak mo lang nandito na kami... nandito kami karamay mo.."
Napailing si Xav at ibinukas ang mata para makatitig kay Temi. "Naiiyak ko na lahat. Napapaluha nalang ako pero mabigat parin sakin...", bigla akong nanlumo as I heard his begging voice again. I heard this tone when Dexel cheated on him at ngayon nangyayare nanaman. "Gusto ko pa ilabas pero may pumipigil eh..."
I don't know but Dexel suddenly walk towards the door. "San ka pupunta?", Xav just asked. "Diba sabi mo magiisip ka ng paraan para magkabalikan kami?", at bigla siya napaupo sa sofa dahilan para mabigla kami.
"Wag mong biglain sarili mo magkapanic-attack ka nanaman...",alalang saad ni Temi kay Xav.
"Huy sabi mo magiisip ka diba?", Xav suddenly said that's why me and Temi were confuse. What was he talking about? Napatingin si Dexel sa kaniya. And by just his eyes, I know. I already know what he was thinking. He is pitying Xavier right now.
Dexel's POV:
That begging tone of yours, Xavier. Di kita matiis. No choice but I just nodded. "Maghahanap ako ng paraan. Pero hindi kita pinangakuan...",seryoso kong saad at kaagad na siyang tinalikuran para umalis. Nagmamadali akong makasakay ng Taxi papunta sa bahay ni Lance. Kailang beses pa akong napakatok sa gate niya hanggang sa napapasok na nga ako nito. Mukha pa siyang pagod na galing sa tulog at papungaw-pungaw na naglalakad papasok sa bahay.
Sinundan ko siya hanggang sa kwarto nito na bumalik lang naman sa paghiga. "Pre ano yun?! Bakit di kana makikipag-balikan kay Xavier?!"
Nasa kama lang siyang napabuntong-hininga at ipinatong sa ulo ang braso nito. "It's the best way for us", kalmado niyang sagot reason to make me in disbelief while staring at his situation right now. He is freakin calm.
"Tangina pre umiiyak siya ngayon. Alam mo ba kung gaano siya nasasaktan?", galit kong saad but he chooses to turn his back at me habang nasa phone. "Ikakasal na kayo yet you chose to break up with him tingin mo nakakatuwa?!"
"Then imagine that was his reaction after you cheated on him, Dex!!", bigla niyang sigaw sabay tapon pa ng phone niya sa pader.
Napakunot-noo ko't sarkastikong napatawa, "What?!"
He also copied my reaction towards him and smirked right away. "Well atleast we broke up dahil napagod lang ako, hindi yung madadatnan akong may kasamang babae sa iisang kama. Dont you dare tell me how's his situation now dahil nung mga oras na niloko mo siya ako yung karamay niya, Dex.", natigilan ako as he attack my wrongdoings towards Xavier. "Seeing how hurt he is nung niloko mo siya it pains me!! He suffered a lot because of you. Kaya wag mo kong sumbat-sumbatan diyan because we are now even"
"Pareho na tayong gago",wala kong ganang saad which made him agree and nods.
"Yes pareho na tayong gago but atleast I didn't make him feel stupid_"
"But you made him feel a surfeit...", inis kong sabi habang naka-kwelyo na sa kaniya. Mahigpit ang hawak ko rito at medyo sinasakal na siya gamit ang sariling kwelyuhan ng damit niya. His gaze at me slowly change and silently observing my face.
"What's with you? You feel bad? Nasasaktan ka sa sitwasyon niya?", he asked dahilan para matigilan ako. Malakas niyang tinanggal ang pgkakahawak ko sa kwelyuhan niya at tinulak ako palayo. Tumayo siya at tinulak ako ulit. "Then go!! Landiin mo kung gusto mo because I dont care Dexel.", siya naman ngayon ang nakahawak sa kwelyo ko ngayon. He grins at me, "I dont fucking care anymore", he said dahilan para umiba ang tingin ko sa kaniya.
"Gagawin ko talaga Lance_"
"Alam mong hindi siya nakikipag-balikan sa mga Ex niya", he cutted me off. Mahina kong ihinawi ang mga braso niya sakin para mailayo na namin ang bawat isa sa amin.
"Then think again. Papakawalan mo na ba? Wag kang iiyak if I manage to win him back.", napatawa ako habang nakatitig sa kaniya. "Babawiin ko na siya Lance. I'll make him mine again", and leave his place right away.
