-recap-

Kim hugged Gerald tightly after what he said.

Gerald: (O_O) oh bakit mo ako niyayakap?

Kim: Na miss kasi kita ng sobra! Please let me hug you for a little while longer.

Gerald just hugged Kim back as his answer and said.

Gerald: I missed you too.

-end of recap- 

When Mang Cardo came back, he saw Kim sleeping beside Gerald’s bed while holding his hand and Gerald was just staring at Kim.

Mang Cardo: Mukhang ok na kayo, tama ba?

Gerald: yes Mang Cardo. Thank you po. (^_^)

Mang Cardo: Wala lang yun. Masaya lang ako na magiging ok ka na ulit.

Gerald: Sorry po kung pinag-alala ko kayo nitong mga nakaraang araw.

Mang Cardo: wag mo na lang uulitin dahil isusumbong na talaga kita sa mommy mo.

Gerald: Sabi niyo eh! (^_^)

Mang Cardo placed a bag at the bottom of Gerald’s bed.

Gerald: ano po yan?

Mang Cardo: ah, ito… Mga damit mo pati na din ni Kim. Alam ko naman kasing hindi susunod yan pag sinabi kong pumunta siya sa hotel para dun matulog. Mas matigas pa ang ulo niyan kesa sayo. (^_^)

Gerald: oo nga po eh. Salamat po sa pagdadala ng mga damit. Tinawagan niyo na po ba ang parents ni Kim?

Mang Cardo: Tinawagan ko na sila. Ok lang naman daw sa kanila dahil kampante silang safe si Kim dahil kasama tayo. Kinakamusta ka din nila. Lagot ka daw kay Ma’am Celine pag nagkita kayo.

Gerald: (O_O) bakit daw po?

Mang Cardo: Masyado mo daw kasing pinag-alala si Kim at pati na din sila. (^_^)

Gerald laughed and Kim was woken up.

Gerald: oppsss. Sorry Kimmy. Sige matulog ka na ulit.

Kim: No, ok lang. Mamaya na lang ulit ako tutulog. Mukhang nagkakasaiyahan ditto eh. Sino ba kausap mo?

She turned around and saw Mang Cardo.

Kim: (O_O) oh Mang Cardo kayo po pala.

Mang Cardo: Hello Kim. Ayaw mo bang sa hotel na lang matulog?

Kim: ay, wag na po. Dito na lang po ako para maalagaan ko si Ge. (^_^)

Mang Cardo: Sabi ko na nga ba at hindi ka papaya. Buti na lang ipinagdala na kita ng damit.

Kim: (O_O) wow. Salamat po Mang Cardo. (^_^)

Mang Cardo: Walang ano man. Sige iwan ko muna kayo. Ano gusto niyong kainin?

Kim: Chowfan po saka SIOMAI! (^_____^)

Mang Cardo: ikaw Gerald?

Gerald: ganon na din po. Mang Cardo damihan niyo po yung Siomai. Sigurado po kasi akong hindi makukuntento ang isang yan sa 3 siomai at baka agawan pa ako. (-_-)

Kim: So are you saying na matakaw ako?

Gerald: bakit hindi ba? Lalo na sa siomai! Nakaka 20 ka ngang siomai sa isang araw eh! Buti nga hindi ka hina-highblood.

Kim: Eh sa favourite ko yun! Wala kang magagawa! (sticks her tongue out)

Mang Cardo just laughed at the two bickering and silently left them.

The day after, Gerald was released from the hospital they stopped by the hotel for a while to take a bath and eat then afterwards they went home.

When they were dropping Kim off, her parents were outside waiting for them. As they saw the car approaching Celine immediately headed straight to the car and opened the door.

Celine: Kim, anak! Good thing you are safe. Si Gerald?

Kim moved a bit to show Gerald.

Gerald: (^_^) Hi Tita!

Celine grabbed Gerald’s ear and twisted it.

Gerald: ARAY TITA! Masakit! (T_T)

Celine let go of his ear.

Kim: Ma para saan yun?

Celine: Parusa. Masyado ka kasi niyang pinag-alala anak.

Kim: ma! Ok lang naman eh. Tigilan mo na si Ge. Kawawa nga tingnan niyo may cast sa paa.

Celine looked at Gerald’s foot.

Celine: Naku naku Gerald! Tingnan mo ang nangyari sayo! Mag-iingat ka kasi! Ok ka na ba?

Gerald: Sorry po talaga tita. Wag po kayong mag-alala hindi na po ito mauulit.

Frank suddenly talked.

Frank: aba dapat lang. Paano ko ipagkakatiwala ang prinsesa ko sayo kung hindi mo kayang ingatan ang sarili mo.

Gerald: Sir, sorry po. You shouldn’t worry about your daughter. I would never let anything harm her. She is more precious than my life. (winks at Kim)

Kim slapped Gerald’s arm.

Kim: Tumigil ka Anderson! Precious precious ka diyan! Umuwi ka na nga para makapag pahinga ka! Uwi!

Gerald: ito naman hindi na malambing! Sige na nga aalis na ako! Pinalalayas mo na ako eh. (_ _)

Kim pinched Gerald’s cheeks.

Kim: Ang cute cute mo talaga pag nag tatampo! Sige na, bye ingat ka. Pahinga ka ok? (^_^)

Gerald: ok, bye Kimmy. Bye tita. Bye tito.

Gerald waved his hands and closed the door.

The next day, Gerald went by Kim’s house to pick her up.

Gerald: Tita si Kimmy po?

Celine: Ay, umalis na eh.

Gerald: Sino pong kasama?

Celine: ah, ehh… Si… ano kasi…

Gerald: Si Enchong po ba?

Celine: O-oo eh.

Gerald: ganun po ba. Sige po tita. Alis na din ako baka ma late pa po ako eh.

Gerald went to school alone. When he entered their room everyone was shocked.

Girl1: Si Gerald oh. Bumalik na.

Boy1: oo nga. Tingnan niyo may cast sa paa.

Girl2: Oh my! Anong nangyari kay Gerald?

Girl3: Baka kaya nawala, naaksidente siguro.

Gerald just limply walked to his chair and ignored his classmates who are currently gossiping about him. Then everyone fell silent when a pair went in the room.

Girl2: Bakit sila ang magkasama? Sila ba?

Girl1: Oo nga, diba taga iibang section yan? Hinahatid siguro.

Girl3: Paano si Gerald?

As he heard his name, Gerald got curious about who the girls are talking about. He slowly raised his head and his eyes met Kim’s. Enchong was holding Kim’s books and taking her to her chair.

Girl3: hindi bas i Gerald ang manliligaw ni Kim?

Girl1: oo nga pala. Kawawa naman si Gerald.

Girl2: Dalwang taon pa naman yan nanligaw tapos iba pala ang sasagotin ni Kim. Grabe ang sama lang.

Girl1: Oo nga! Masyadong paasa!

When Gerald heard what the girls were saying about Kim, he looked at Kim’s side and saw that she was getting embarrassed, he couldn’t take it so he was about to stand up and yell at the 3 girls but he beaten by someone.

Erich: Tumigil kayo! Wala kayong karapatang sabihan ng ganyan si Kim at mas lalong wala kayong karapatang pakialamanan sila ni Gerald! Kaya kung ayaw niyo ng gulo tumahimik na lang kayo! Got it?!

The 3 girls just nodded and quietly sat on their respective chairs.

After the scene, Gerald looked back at Kim andhe was relieved that she looks fine now after Erich defended her from the three girls. He was about to go and comfort her but Erich showed up.

Erich: Gerald, buti naman nakabalik ka na. Ok ka lang ba? Anong nangyari sa paa mo?

Gerald: Ahhh, Erich ikaw pala. Oo ok lang ako. Naaksidente lang ako ng konti pero wala ito. Nga pala, thanks for standing up for Kim like that from those girls.

Erich: Wala yun. Totoo naman sinabi ko eh. Wala naman talaga silang karapatang sabihan ng ganon si Kim lalo na ang pag pyestahan ang nangyari sa inyo. Ok ka lang ba talaga?

Gerald: Oo, ok lang talaga ako. Wag mong alalahanin ito. Konting bali lang ito mawawala din. (^_^)

Erich: That’s not what I mean. I wanted to ask if you’re ok after seeing Kim with Enchong?

Gerald: Ah,of course I am. Why wouldn’t I be ok?

Erich: Well, it is not a secret that you love Kim.

Gerald: (_ _ ) I am fine with it.

Erich: Is that true?

Gerald: Kim and I already talked about it and I can’t do anything about. If that’s what makes her happy then I am happy as well. Alam mo namang I always put Kimmy’s happiness above anything else.

Erich: Ok, if that’s what you say. Pero what would you do after this? Lalayo ka na ba kay Kim? Sa barkada?

Gerald: Nope. I won’t. I promised her that I won’t do that. Kaya whether you like it or not I would stick with you guys. (^___^)

Erich: Of course we like it! Barkada ka na din naming no! (^_^)

Gerald and Erich continued talking ang laughing with each other not aware of the eyes fixated on them and a heart that is slowly breaking into pieces.
