CHAPTER 51

SUNSET

Iris' POV

"Iris!" I heard someone shouted.

Bumalik ako sa katinuan at tiningnan si Caylee. Then I nervously laughed. "Sorry, ano?"

"Why are you spacing out? Ang sabi ko, may shade ka na bang napili?"

"Shade for what?" Pinagtawanan nila ako ni Tiffany dahil sa kalutangan ko.

And I don't blame them. I wasn't really paying attention to what they're doing. The last thing that I'd want is a girls sleepover but knowing Caylee, she won't stop until I agree to join them. Kaya nagpunta na lang din ako dito sa bahay nila at sinubukan kalimutan ang mga problema ko.

Pero kahit anong gawin ko, bumabalik pa rin talaga ang isipan ko kila Dashiell at Damian.

Ilang araw na akong tulero. I keep on trying to know who I love more between the two of them. Pero wala pa rin akong sagot hanggang ngayon.

They both hold a special place in my heart.

Damian continued to pursue me. Wala na talaga siyang kinatatakutan. He goes to my house just to see me. He's determined to show me he loves me. Mabuti na lang hindi sila nagpapangabot ni Dashiell kasi ayoko namang magkagulo sa bahay.

My sister is starting to ask questions. Nagtataka siya kung bakit pinupuntahan ako ni Damian kung wala naman sa bahay si Dashiell. I mostly make up stories pero tingin ko nakakahalata na siya. Iba na kasi ang mga tingin niya, or maybe I'm just being paranoid.

Dashiell, on the other hand, had continued doing the same. He picks me up every morning, we spend time together during lunch, I'll wait for him in the afternoon and then he'll drive me home before he goes to his soccer game or daily practice.

But I can see that he's changing as days passed by. Sabi nga niya, nauubos na siya. He stopped being sweet to me. He stopped asking me out on dates. Hinahawakan niya pa rin naman ang kamay ko pero parang lumalayo na ang loob niya sa akin. He doesn't talk about his day anymore. Hindi na rin niya ako tinatanong kung anong ginawa ko buong araw.

It was like he's with me but his heart is slowly walking away. And that scares me a lot.

Natatakot akong mahuli ako at hindi ko na mahabol pa ang puso niya.

"Oh my gosh, they're so sweet!" Tiffany commented. They're watching a Netflix show. Kinikilig silang apat nila Caylee, Naomi at Ava habang ako nagse-cellphone lang. Wala kasi ako sa mood manuod ngayon lalo na at romance pa ang napili nilang genre.

I was just randomly browsing the net when someone messaged me. Hindi ko kilala kung sino ang babaeng iyon pero mukhang fan namin siya ni Dash dahil picture naming dalawa ang profile pic niya.

I opened her message out of boredom.

Hi Ate. Nakita ko po si Kuya Dash kasama ang ex niya kanina. Hiwalay na po ba kayo? Sa'yo ko lang po ise-send ito dahil baka mamaya maging issue. Sabihan mo ako ate kung niloloko ka ni Kuya Dash. Hindi niya magugustuhan gagawin ng buong fandom sa kanya! We love you Ate! Sana mali ako ng iniisip.

And then there were pictures attached. Nanigas ako sa kinauupuan ko nang isa isa kong tingnan ang mga iyon. Dash and Charmaine are together, laughing and dancing with their friends at some party. Hindi ko alam kung nasaan mismo sila ngunit mukhang private party iyon at may mga alak pa silang hawak. Hindi naman sila masyadong malapit sa isa't-isa pero palagi pa rin silang magkatabi.
