Chapter 18

REIVEN'S POV**

Di ko namalayan nakatulog na rin ako while binabantayan si Via.

Nang magising ako, it's already 1 in the afternoon.

I just found myself sleeping in an air mattress here sa bedside.

Agad ako bumalikwas nang mapansin na wala si Via sa kama.

But saktong pagbangon ko, she came out of the shower. She's still in her robe at halatang nagulat pa na gising na ako.

"Hala! Sorry, did I wake you up? Sorry nag co-concert ako sa cr eh" she explained.

I gave her a smile at humiga ulit feeling somehow relieved.

"Hang over?"

"Kinda. But I still remember everything," Tugon ko as I shot her with a look.

Her face automatically turned red.

"Uhm, bihis lang ako, you can go eat na, nagluto na ako," she replied as she hurrily runs into her walk in closet.

I can't help but laugh a little while shaking my head.

Agad ko naman kinapa bulsa ko and terror ran through me when I saw notifs from West.

"Shit" I whispered nang maalala na I had plans with her this morning.

I was about to get up and umuwi agad but then I remembered.

I don't have to.

I swiped the notifs open para basahin.

She's angry but at the same time hindi?

Weird.

But okay na rin yun. Di na ako nag reply and just turned my phone off bago bumangon para ayusin pinaghigaan ko at lumabas na sa kwarto ni Via and waited for her.

Sa balcony muna ako tumambay since the view is great, aside the fact na magiging barbeque na ako sa init pero okay lang.

"Hey, di ka pa kumakain?" Via said after finally getting out of her room after changing.

"I was waiting for you," I casually replied.

We just had lunch and at some point, I had to go home rin since may emergency sa family nila Via and she needs to leave.

I didn't have the time to ask her about last night.

Sinawalang bahala ko nalang thinking she's probably just drunk kaya ganun.

"Sure na di na kita ihatid?" I asked her as I fidget with my car keys.

"Appreciate the offer but wag na, di ko alam ano sasabihin ko sa family ko when a black lambo pulls up sa bahay namin," she said while giggling.

Natawa nalang din ako.

She's funny and cute, pero kagabi, she looked so sincere even lasing.

Still, I'm in doubt if she even meant everything she said.

I waved my final goodbye as I watch her walk away. Hatid ko nalang sana kaso mas bet nya mag LRT, Bus, Jeep.

I let out a weighty sigh before pulling out my phone again and checking my messages.

Nagtataka talaga ako dahil even though I left West on seen, she didn't even get mad.

Even over her messages earlier, she was mad at first kasi di ako umuwi but after nun, she was totally cool and just told me to take care pag uwi ko pag naisipan ko na.

It's not like I don't like na she's doing this, it actually helps with my moving past through my emotions and feelings for her, although it does kind of bother me, not receiving angry messages from her makes it feel like something in my day is missing.

I shrugged it off and decided na umuwi na since wala na rin naman ako gagawin.

Not gonna lie I was kind of expecting na sasalubong sakin sa bahay is galit na West.

She wasn't even there. And the biggest surprise is she actually took out her car.

Ang bihira mag drive nun, something important might be up.

Remember when I said na wala na akong relatives? I lied, I still have my grandparents sa father side.

The thing is, di kami close. Im actually scared to come near them.

Di naman sa nangangain sila nang buhay, it's just I've never been close with my father's side relatives. Mas close ako sa mga relatives ko sa mother side.

Although, isa lang naging close ko sa pinsan ko.

Ellise, my cousin na anak ng nagiisang kuya ni mama, tito Enrico.

I let our another weighty sigh before entering our empty home at dumiretso na sa kwarto.

Padapa pa akong humiga at saglit na pumikit. I was about to doze off to sleep nang bigla naman tumunog ang doorbell, I was still hesitant sa bumaba kaya pinabayaan ko nalang.

Pero since ayaw talaga umalis, bumaba nalang ako. And gosh, how lucky I am. It's Art, West's boyfriend.

"Oh, hey, West is not here so-"

"Ah, no! Ikaw talaga sadya ko rito," he immediately cut me off and smiled.

He's actually so polite and kind pero umiinit talaga ulo ko sakanya.

I had no choice but to let him in. Kasi pag eto tinarayan ko, mag susumbong lang to kay West, ending ako rin aawayin.

Magpakaplastik para walang gulo.

I invited him and in and asked him to sit down first habang inaasikaso ko papakainin ko sakanya.

Nang makatapos ay nilapag ko nalang ang pagkain which he thanked me bago ako umupo sa tapat nya waiting for him to say something.

There's no way ako mag open ng conversation sakanya.

"I hope I'm not bothering you for something, I just came here for something," tugon nya.

Tumango lang ako, signalling him to proceed.

"So, West and I are kinda in a bad situation these days, ano, madalas kami mag away."

"What does it have to do with me?"

"Im here to ask for help,"

"Not to be rude here, but I don't hold charities for relationships-"

"No! no not that, I mean ask you a few things about West para masuyo ko sya. You're a great friend of her right? Can you at least help me out how to make it up to my girlfriend?" he asked politely.

It felt like a spear piercing through me.

Nakakapikon kasi, I've always been just a friend pero yung feelings ko di talaga nakikisama.

I've done everything I could for the past years and di talaga nawawala feelings ko para kay West even though she's already taken.

Ang naging way out ko nalang para kahit papano ay mabawasan ko pag iisip sakany, I write letters for her, which I never give rin naman.

Dun ko nilalabas lahat ng gusto ko sabihin, I pray di nya makita lalo't nasa kwarto ko lang din.

"What kind of help do you need and bakit ako?"

"Ikaw bestfriend nya, kung may nakakakilala sakanya nang mabuti, ikaw na yun," he said.

Again he was right, that should make sense already. West is my friend and dapat dati palang alam ko na talagang hanggang kaibigan lang ako.

I've had enough signs, and I know, ito na ang nararapat gawin.

I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, I'll help you."

Napangiti naman si Art.

"I thought you were masungit, glad you're willing to help" tugon nya tsaka tumawa.

No choice, I had to accept you, sayo masaya si West. This is the last thing I had to do to finally start disregarding my feelings for her.
