Selena's Sentiment

_______________________

"You cancelled the workshop for me..." sabi ko kay Blagden. Nandito kami ngayon sa study room.

Napatigil siya sa pagbabasa at tumingin saakin. Magkatabi kami ngayon sa upuan, lagi namang kaming magkatabi.

I was traumatized for what happened last week, yes. One week na since mangyari 'yon. Nadaplisan si Savannah ng bala sa balikat, causing her na mabitawan yung baril. Blagden immediately pulled me closer to him. Sakto na rin dumating yung mga police at inaresto sila.

"And I can't believe you cancelled all classes in Stevensons because of me..." I sighed heavily at sumandal sa upuan. "You're not even going to your work. Lagi kang nasa tabi ko---"

Napatigil ako nang hawakan niya yung kamay kong nakalagay sa ibabaw ng mesa. I looked at him, punong puno ng sadness and guilt yung mata niya.

I sighed at pinagpalit yung posisyon ng kamay namin. I held his hand and caressed it softly.

Honestly, I really don't know what is the score between us but, I feel something for him. Hindi lang enough para magkaroon ng mas higit pang namamagitan saamin.

A lone tear dropped from his eyes. My Dragon, he's a soft man. Now I know why he cares about other people too much, he can't bare to see anyone important to him get hurt.

He closed his eyes and looked down. "K-Kung h-hindi ako nahanap ni R-Ryle, m-mahuhuli ako ng dating." nanginginig yung boses niya.

I squeezed his hand. "Blagden, it was not your fault and I am not blaming you..."

Nalaman din nila mom and dad yung nangyari and inaasikaso na nila yung legal charges na ikakaso kina Savannah and Trevor, pati na rin sa mga kasama nila. Our parents sent bodyguards na nakabantay ngayon dito sa bahay.

"I'm sorry..." napatingin ulit ako sakaniya nang magsalita siya. Hindi na siya nakayuko ngayon but nakatingin lang siya sa white board sa harap namin.

"I'm just making sure you won't get hurt again..." he started. Tumingin siya saakin, his eyes are red. One week na nag stay kami dito sa bahay galing sa workshop and every day and night. Sinisigurado niya munang nakatulog ako bago siya matulog.

And pag umaga, lalabas siyang mugto yung mata. He's blaming himself for what happened to me.

Hinawakan ko yung panga niya, I felt him stilled. Pinaharap ko siya saakin. I smiled and his face remained sad. "I'm thankful..." kumunot yung noo niya.

"Kung hindi ka dumating, Trevor could've r-raped me..." I tried not to tremble. "Please, do not blame yourself." I said and squeezed his hand again.

He sighed before nodding. I smiled and waited for him. And finally, a genuine smile showed on his lips. That, I miss that.

We stared at each other for a while before I came back from my senses. Ako na rin ang bumitaw sa kamay naming magkahawak and cleared my throat. Umayos ako ng upo.

He let out a chuckle, he's coming back. I'm relieved. Pinagpatuloy lang namin yung pagrereview.

"Okay, that's all for today." he said and closed the book.
