Chapter 26

WEST'S POV*

"Hoy! Birthday na birthday nung isa nag mumukmok ka diyan na parang bata," inis na tugon ni Kaede habang hinahaltak paa ko para bumangon ako sa kama.

I suddenly lost all the energy I had when the day started.

"West Sullivan!"

"Ano na?"

Pangungulit ni Kaede na di ko naman sinagot.

I kept my face buried on my pillow and remained motionless, and stayed quiet.

"Masama pakiramdam ko."

"Ang random mo naman, naka apak ka ba ng nuno sa punso sa labas?"

"Siguro."

Even wala naman ako naapakan, it's the same thing. Minalas ako.

After a while, she just heaved a sigh.

Ilang saglit pa narinig ko bumukas at sara pinto ko, indicating Kaede already had left.

Umayos naman ako ng higa and stared at my ceiling out of the blue.

Halo halo kasi nararamdaman ko, I don't know alin uunahin ko.

I was busy overthinking life nang mag ring naman cellphone ko. Naiinis pa ako kaya di ko pinansin, but it kept on ringing kaya sinagot ko na.

Lalo lang ako nabwisit nang makita ko caller id.

It was Art.

"The fuck you need?"

"Ang aga ang sungit mo."

"Kung wala kang sasabihin, ibaba ko na-"

"About sa deal"

Agad naman sumeryoso mukha ko.

"What."

"I need you tonight to show up sa bahay, my parents are expecting you there." Art

Napahilamos naman ako sa mukha at bahagyang napasabunot sa buhok.

"I already gave you a headsup na di ako available specifically sa araw na ito, Art"

"Love, please?"

"Cut the bullshit, alam nating dalawa na ayaw kong tinatawag mo ako niyan"

"Hahahaha, kalma, biro lang. Just show up, please"

I remained quiet, ayaw ko magsalita, plus, wala ako maisip.

I'm still numb from earlier.

Pero wala naman ako masisi kasi kasalanan ko naman talaga.

Even gustuhin ko man gawin, mas pinili kong huwag magsalita.

Mahabang katahimikan ang namayani saming dalawa.

Sinusulyap sulyapan ko pa screen ng cellphone ko to make sure na hindi nag drop yung tawag.

After a while, I could hear him laughing then let out a sigh.

"West, kahit ako ayaw ko rin. My own relationship, my happiness is at the stake here too. Wala tayo magagawa kasi eto kagustuhan ng pamilya natin." he explained.

He's got a point. And it irritates me kasi tama naman sya.

Kung tutuusin, wala sa plano namin ang lahat ng ito.

As a matter of fact, hindi ko kilala si Art until the day maging kami.

Sounds complicated cause it is.

"I can't come. Birthday ni Cyrie."

"Are you really going to turn down my parents?"

"So what? Hindi naman talaga tayo, why do I have to impress them, hindi ka ba napapagod mag sinungaling sakanila?"
