Chapter 9

REIVEN'S POV**

Time went by so fast, I didn't even realize na mag 12 na ng hating gabi.

My phone was on silent mode the whole time I was with Via. After their thing sa studio, hinatid ko na sya sa condo nya since wala naman daw sya gagawin and need nya nalang mag ready para makagala na kami.

I didn't even notice West's message.

"Wala ba maghahanap sayo?" the girl asked as we walked around under the lamppost, having the moon shine above us.

"Don't worry about me. Ikaw? Wala ka bang pasok tomorrow?"

"Nope. It's getting late. You should probably go," Via said as we stopped in front of her building.

I just smiled and nodded.

I should probably head back na rin. Kanina pa ako tinatadtad ni West ng messages, which is kanina ko pa rin dinededma.

I hate this feeling. Hindi naman kami but why does it kind of feel like I'm cheating?

Whatever.

"I'm going," I said before waving my goodbye to Via.

Before I left, she called me, making me stop on my tracks. I was about to turn my head to look at her when she hugged me from behind.

"Thank you for today."

"Anytime."

"Can you come back tomorrow? It's kind of lonely here," she said in a low voice.

I let out a soft chuckle.

"For you? Of course. But for now, head back up," I replied.

Maya maya ay kumawala na sya sa pagkakayakap before finally waving her goodbye and running back inside the building.

Finally, nang masigurado ko na nakapasok na sa loob si Via, I made my way back to my car na.

Saglit pa akong sumandal at pumikit para magpahinga bago ko i-start ang kotse.

I've decided to finally see West's messages. Di naman na ako nagtatampo, nawala na kanina while Via was around.

99+ Unread messages agad bumungad and a few missed calls. Di ko na binasa isa isa,  sa unang message palang kinabahan na ako kaya umuwi na ako.

When I got home, may kotseng naka park sa harap ng bahay naman.

Her boyfriend is here, napakagaling talaga.

After parking my car inside the garage, I took a few deep breaths before finally coming inside.

Pagpasok ko bumungad na magkatabi si West and Her boyfriend and a lady is sitting across them.

Probably tita ni West, kinakausap sila.

Tahimik akong pumasok at dumiretso sa kusina para sana uminom ng tubig when her aunt called me.

I finally recognised sino yun.

"Iha! Reiven, oh my, is that you?"

"Tita Agnes! It's nice to see you again," I greeted with a smile before walking towards her before giving her a big hug and made beso with her.

She's Tita Agnes, she's been taking care of West even when we're still young. Close rin kami ni tita lalo't lagi kami magkasama ni West.

"Kumain ka na ba nak?" She asked, to which I replied with a smile and a lighy head shake.

"I'm good po, aakyat na rin naman po ako. Baka makaistorbo pa ako," I said.

"Ah! Hindi naman nak, counselling lang sa dalawang ito. Pag dating ko kasi kanina at ako'y bibisita nga sana, nag aaway."

Nabaling naman tingin ko kay West. She does seem kind of off. Nag away pala sila.

Natutuwa leeg ko na ewan.

"Ah, im going to my room na po tita," I said with a smile.

Nakaka suffocate pag nasa isang kwarto lang kasama ng boyfriend nya.

"Sige iha," Tita Agnes said.

When she said that, umakyat na ako sa kwarto.

I can still hear them talking sa baba, normally I'd eavesdrop pero pinabayaan ko since pagod din ako.

After taking a bath, checking some emails sa laptop and others, I finally got to lay down on my bed.

Di pa umaalis si tita Agenes and boyfriend ni West since I can still hear them talk.

Busy ako mag imagine ng scenarios while laying on my bed peacefully. Bukas schedule ko sa studio, pero di ko makikita si Via bukas kasi may pasok sya.

Sucks to be a college student, thankfully tapos na ako dyan.

I heard a little knock on the door but bago pa ako makapag tanong kung sino yun, it flung open, spitting out West.

She's crying and looks really upset.

"I never agreed to any of this, how is this my fucking fault?!" bulyaw ni West before slamming the door.

"M-maling kwarto-"

"I fucking hate them, Rei." West said before her tears finally started rolling down her cheeks. Napasalampak nalang sya sa sahig.

Napatakbo naman ako sakanya to check if she was okay.

"Anyare? Are you okay?"

She looked up to me with a teary eye before pulling me into a tight hug.

I was shook for a moment, but later on, I hugged her back and gave her back soft and gentle strokes.

Honestly, I don't know ano issue nya with her boyfriend. They get along well naman kasi ever since maging sila, hindi pa sya nagreklamo about sakanila.

Yes, may times na she'd get drunk and say na she hates her boyfriend, pero di nya sinasabi bakit, di nya sinasabi ano pinagawayan nila.

Kasi kinabukasan, okay na ulit.

After a while, West finally calmed down.

I could hear Art calling and knocking on West's room.

Di ko alam kung matatawa ako. Hinahanap nya girlfriend nya, but the whole time, andito sa kwarto ko, kayakap ako.

Surely di na magtatangka na kumatok yun dito. Di naman sya aware sa ganap sa relationship namin ni West.

All he knows is we're bestfriends.

He doesn't know we do unholy things that friends don't do.

"Are you good now?"

"Can I sleep with you?"

"H-huh?"

"I mean sa kama... matulog," she said while wiping her tears away.

I let out an awkward laugh habang napapakamot sa batok before nodding.

I despise my dirty mind sometimes. But kahit ano gawin ko, di ko rin maiwasan magkaron ng playful thoughts around West, dagdag mo pa fact na we actually 'did it' already.

Moments later, I just found myself laying in bed beside my bestfriend.

To be honest di ko na rin maintindihan sarili ko. Wants to forget her but at some point, sakanya parin bagsak.

I was busy talking to myself when my phone lit up dahil sa message. It was from Via.

I was kind of doubtful to pick it up.

I threw West a glance.

Why am I being conscious? West is just my friend.

I can entertain Via. Hindi naman kami ni West.

I let out a sigh then grabbed my phone. We're just friends, there's no reason for me to feel like betraying her.

I made up my mind, I'm going to take my chance with Via. Ayaw ko na mag mukhang tanga sa ginagawa ko, closing my feelings and myself dahil umaasa ako na may something samin ni West.

This time, I'm going with something that would be best for me.

Mahirap umasa kung hanggang kaibigan lang talaga.
