Bulleted Love

Chapter 24

Xander's Pov

Kasalukuyan ako ngayong nagmamaneho patungong hospital dahil sa isang taong deserve mabugbog ng mga mag-pipinsan. Di ko naman sinasabing ang mag-pipinsang Smith yun, pero parang ganun narin.

After a long drive ay nasa parking lot na ako ng hospital, before I can even get out in my car ay kinuha ko muna ang gift ko para sa pasyenteng dadalawin ko since he's been a good old friend of mine. A bouquet of flowers and fruits might work, perhaps. Pumasok na ako sa hospital ng may ngisi sa labi.

" Good morning miss, ahm. Is there a patient confined here?" Tanong ko sa isang nurse

" Sir, hospital ho ito kaya normal lang na may naka-confined na pasyente" the Fuck?!

" Oh, sorry for that miss. What I was supposed to mean is that, is there a Collins that's being confined here miss? Nathan Collins to be exact." I sarcastically stated.

"Yan naman pala sir e, di nyo naman sinabi agad. Meron po, nasa room 204" she said saka ako tinalikuran. Walang manners amp!

Kaya gaya ng sabi ng nurse ay naghanap ako sa room 204. Pagdating ko doon ay kumpleto silang lima dahil nandoon ang boyfriend ni Andrea ngunit wala yung fiancee nya, tch. Para naman akong celebrity dahil nasa akin ang atensyon nila, kaya gaya ng celebrity ay binati ko sila with a wide fucking smile. Nagtaka naman sila pero wala talaga akong pake.

" Good morning my old friend" nakangiti ko paring saad. " Nagdala pala ako ng ahm? Pasalubong? I think that's what it should be called" tila nag-iisip kong saad saka nilagay sa bedside table nya.

" Where's Briar Xander? " Tanong ni Nate sa akin

" Ha? Wala akong kilalang Briar Xander" maang-maangan kong saad.

" Xands please" sabat ni Zin

" Wala ng sabi akong kilalang Briar Xander e" sabi ko saka umupo sa single couch.

" Okay, do you know kung asan si Briar? " Tanong ulit ni Nate.

" Ayy si B pala ang tinutukoy nyo. Hindi e, the last I saw her was the other day nung nag-usap ata kayo tungkol sa official break-up nyo" kibit balikat kong sagot.

" Seryoso ako Xander. I really need to know where my Briar is" desperate

" My Briar Nate?" I sarcastically asked. "Akala ko ba may fiancee kana. Don't be such a fool Nathan. Seryoso din akong sumagot sa'yo. The day you officially break-up is also the day I last saw her. " Mukhang naniwala naman sila, pero totoo namang wala talaga akong alam. Kahit ang mga Smith ay di pa mahanap si Briar.

" May alam ka ba about her this past few days nung nandito pa sya?" He asked. Mukhang alam ko na ang patutunguhan ng usapang ito.

" Marami akong alam Nate, like how you break her heart. Yun ba?" Nakangisi kong saad. And he really look very desperate.

"Ok, let me just say it directly. Do you have any idea on why did she greet me a happy Father's Day that day?" Pang-uusisa nya. I know it, hahahah

" Because that day was Father's Day" I said stating the obvious fact.

" I know, but why did she greet me" naguguluhan nya na talagang saad

" Nah, I know your smart Nate. I know you've got something in mind. You just need to think it thoroughly kung may rason ba na mangyari man yang nasa isip mo." Saad ko saka tumayo. " Sabi nga nila Nate, things happened for a reason. And maybe things also been made when there is a possibility of being created not just by a single person because it can also be done by pair." Lumapit na ako sa kanya this time at saka taimtim syang tinitigan. " alam mo na mismo ang sagot sa katanongan mo Nate kung alam mo rin mismong may ginawa ka o kayo?" Nakangisi kong saad. Bumaling naman ako sa mga kaibigan namin.
