The Closet Girlfriend (Chapter 21)

`CHAPTER 21

JULIA: Ches tama na yang pag-iyak mo…
CHESKA: Ang sakit-sakit ng ginawa ni Sam, nakita mo naman yun diba? He slapped me dahil sa Devon na yun.
JULIA: Sinisiraan mo naman kasi yung kapatid nya kaya hindi na yun nakapagpigil.
CHESKA: I felt like they’re not siblings! Yung bracelet Julia…yung bracelet…
JULIA: Hay naku ilang beses mo na sinabi yung tungkol sa bracelet sa akin… Binigay nya yun kay Devon dahil magkapatid sila.
CHESKA: Ni ipahiram nga di pumapayag si Sam, ibigay pa kaya?!
JULIA: You’re hopeless Ches pati bracelet pinagdidiskitahan mo na!
CHESKA: Gaganti ako sa Devon na yun…
JULIA: Well ikaw ang bahala. Ang masasabi ko lang, Goodluck!
CHESKA: Julia???
JULIA: Pasok na ako sa klase ko…

(Si Yen naman ay hindi makapagconcentrate sa kanyang klase pagkatapos ng nangyari. She’s now doubting about Sam and Devon’s real status pagkatapos ng nangyari kanina. Nasa canteen na sya pero lumilipad pa rin ang isip nya, hindi nya tuloy namalayan na nasa tabi na pala nya si Phytos)
PHYTOS: Ang lalim yata ng iniisip mo….
YEN: Ha? Phytos ikaw pala yan
PHYTOS: What troubles you? Care to share?
YEN: No. nothing! Iniisip ko lang ang class ko.
PHYTOS: Yen? Magbestfriend kayo ni Devz,I want you to be honest with me. May aasahan ba ako sa kanya?
(Yen looked at Phytos seriously. Ano nga ba ang isasagot nya dito? Hindi nya talaga alam kung ano ang nasa isip ni Devon. She never shares her anything about lovelife)
YEN: Honestly, I don’t know. We haven’t talked about love life.
PHYTOS: Pero wala ba syang nabanggit sa iyo kahit isang beses lang?
YEN: With all honesty wala talaga…(nakita nyang nalaglag ang balikat ni Phytos)
PHYTOS: Do I have to give up?
YEN: Gusto mo talaga si Devz noh?
PHYTOS: Yes…
YEN: Don’t worry! I’ll tell her to talk to you.
PHYTOS: Nasaan pala sya? Hindi sya pumasok sa class namin ngayon.
YEN: Ha??? Nasa bahay may sinat kasi ehh…(She needs to tell a lie para di masyadong masaktan si Phytos, kailangan pa talaga nyang iconfirm kung totoo ang hinala nya tungkol kina Sam at Devon)
PHYTOS: Ganoon ba? Sige dadalawin ko nalang sya pagkatapos ng class.
YEN’S POV: Lagot na!
YEN: Hah? Huwag na…
PHYTOS: I insist.
YEN: Si..ge.. ikaw ang bahala. (naisip nalang ni Yen na bahala na si Batman)

(Sina Sam at Devon naman ay nasa bahay ni Alex, tinuturuan ng una ang huli na mag-guitar)
DEVON: Mahirap sya nung una pero ang dali naman pala kapag nagtiyaga.
SAM: Sige keep following the chords… I’ll try to sing. Then sabayan mo ako hap?
(Nagpatuloy si Devon sa ginagawa at sinimulan naman ni Sam na kumanta)
SAM:
I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
SAM and DEVON
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
SAM
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out
SAM and DEVON
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
SAM
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
SAM and DEVON
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

(Pagkatapos kumanta ay agad siyang niyakap at binuhat ni Sam)
DEVON: Put me down!
SAM: I just wanna carry you.
DEVON: Gago! (They stared at each other. His eyes darkened)
SAM: Don’t even think it!
DEVON: Think what? (she smiled)
SAM: Devz? (He looked at her seriously )
DEVON: What?
SAM: Let’s tell the truth…
DEVON: Sam, I’m scared baka magalit sila. Alam mo naman malaki ang tiwala nila sa atin. Ayaw kong magalit sila sa ating dalawa lalung-lalo na sayo.
SAM: Hindi ko na kasi alam kung paano kokontrolin ang sarili ko. I’m too transparent Devz.
DEVON: Alam mo gustung-gusto ko nun pa man na sabihin ang totoo pero mas natatakot ako sa posibleng mangyari.
SAM: But Devz I feel so hurt everytime I deny you on Tv.
DEVON: We can go through all of this Sam.
(He moved her closer to him and hugged her tight. When they went back HOME, nobody was around. They decided to play chess)
DEVON: Ayaw ko na! talo na naman ako! (He painted her face with lipstick. It’s the 8th time na natalo siya ni Sam)
SAM: Look! (He handed her the mirror)
DEVON: Why give me mirror? Gusto mong makita ko na mukha na akong alien?
SAM: Just look at your face in the mirror. I painted something special.
(She was curious kung ano ang kinahinatnan ng mukha nya sa walong beses na pagkatalo kaya tumingin sya sa salamin. But she was surprised what she had seen in the mirror. Sam painted “I LOVE YOU” on her face, she blushed and smiled)
DEVON: Boang!
(He softly whispers the words on her ears. Kinuha nito ang cellphone at kinunan sya ng picture with that paint on her face. Bigla naman dumating sina Phytos at Yen, agad tumakbo si Devon papunta sa kanyang kwarto para burahin ang isinulat ni Sam sa kanyang mukha bago pa mabasa ng mga ito.)
