Everything Has Changed

Chapter 2

"Our training will start next month, Mom. Yes..."

I'm talking to my Mom on the phone, she called me to check on me if I am okay. Raze is helping me to move my things inside my condominium.

"Babe, can you put this box inside my room? Thanks... " Sabi ko kay Raze.

[ If your training will start next month, it means may time pa tayo mag bonding? What can you say? ]

"That's great actually, but I'm going to fix my things here in my condo muna, Mom. I'll just call you when I'm done, okay? Bye!" I hung up the phone and put it on the table.

"Hay... New memories will be made," I said while looking around my condo.

"Remi..."

"Hmm?"

"Ha? Sino kausap mo?" Raze asked, confused.

"Wala, akala ko tinawag mo ako HAHAHA," binalewala ko na lang yung narinig ko kanina.

"Remi... Baka multo ang tumawag sa'yo..." Panakot pa ni Raze at nag kunwaring nilibot ang tingin sa condo ko. "What if..."

"Stop it! You're not funny!" Tinapon ko sa kanya ang unan.

"Joke lang! Ito naman hindi mabiro!"

I ignored him and just continue to fix my things. Kinuha ko yung box at pinasok sa loob ng room ko. I sat down on my bed, pinalitan ko na ang bed sheet kaya malinis na ulit. I don't know why my heart suddenly felt heavy, it's like I can't breathe. I closed my eyes and tried to steady my breathing, maybe na-miss ko lang ang condo ko and of course my bedroom.

"Babe? Tara na, kain na tayo," Raze knocked on the door and peeked.

Lumabas na ako para kumain. After that, tinanggal namin ang mga hindi na kailangan, tutal konti na lang naman ang natira sa labas. Umabot kami ng 5pm kaya I decided na dito na lang muna si Raze mag dinner, we just ordered food and watched some movies. After that, nag paalam na si Raze na uuwi na siya.

"Bibisitahin lang kita dito, okay? Huwag kang pasaway, baka may multo dito," nanakot na naman siya.

"Umalis ka na nga!" Tinulak ko na siya palabas. Natatawa niyang binuksan ang pinto.

"Parang hindi mo ako boyfriend, ah? Grabe ka naman!" He pretended to hurt and even put his hand on his chest.

"Hindi bagay, umuwi ka na! Ingat, babe!" I said and kissed him on his cheeks.

"Sa lips ba walang good night kiss?" He asked it as half joked. I didn't know how to response. "Joke lang, I'll see you tomorrow, babe."

He then left. I closed the door and sighed. Ever since he became my boyfriend, I didn't let him kiss me. In the lips. We've never done that because I refused to. When he asked me and tried to kiss me, I just said that I am not really ready to be kissed in my lips but to be honest, I really don't know. It's like my lips- my kisses are reserved. And he respects that, he never complained and that's why I really like him.

I took a shower and while drying my hair, I opened my Instagram to see if there are new notifications. Kio has an Ig story so I tap his profile and was confused when I saw who's with him. Zein and that weirdo girl. It was uploaded just 2 hours ago. Naka-peace sign si Kio and I noticed that Zein's hand was around that weirdo girl's shoulder, weirdo wasn't smiling but she's looking at the camera.
