Holding Back My Feelings (Rastro)

Chapter VII (Updated)

2:15am

"Arrrrggghhh!!" Idiniin ni Rhian sa mukha nya ang isang unan. Hindi sya makatulog kahit kanina pa sya nakahiga sa kama nya

Nagpalipat lipat na rin ito ng posisyon pero hindi pa rin sya dalawin ng antok.

Out of frustration she sat up on her bed and reached for her phone lying on her bedside table. She dialed Glaiza's number after 30 seconds of ringing Glaiza picked up her phone

"Hello Rhi?" Glaiza asked with a husky voice

"Hi Cha! Did I wake you up? I'm sorry."

"Yoyon it's 2:17 in the morning why? May problema ba?"

"Uhm. Can you sing for me? I know.. I know it's late but I just can't sleep"

"Uhm. Can you sing for me? I know I know it's late but I just can't sleep"

Napangiti si Glaiza sa narinig.

"Malapit na ba sa lullaby yung boses ko? Yung type na kapag narinig mo e makakatulog ka?" Natatawa nyang tanong kay Rhian habang inaabot ang gitara sa tabi ng kama nya

"No. No. You know naman na when you sing dun lang dumadating yung peace of mind ko diba?" Rhian giggled on the other line

"Weirdo ka talaga kahit kelan Howell." Sagot ni Glaiza ibinaba nya ang phone at tinap ang speaker. She placed her guitar on her lap and strummed

"Glai you dont have to use guitar. I just want to hear you sing."

Glaiza heard her chuckle on the other line

"Nambola ka pa Howell if I know gustong gusto mo naman na may gitara ako habang kumakanta." Natatawang sabi ni Glaiza

"Okay okay I'll shut my mouth up." Sagot ni Rhian at tumahimik sa kabilang linya

Glaiza started to strum a familiar song at her guitar

"Sa hindi inaasahang.. Pagtatagpo ng mga mundo , may minsan lang na nagdugtong damang dama na ang ugong nito, hindi pa ba sapat ang sakit at lahat na hinding hindi ko ipararanas sayo, ibinubunyag ka ng iyong mata, sumisigaw ng pagsinta..."

"Sa hindi inaasahang.. Pagtatagpo ng mga mundo , may minsan lang na nagdugtong damang dama na ang ugong nito.."

Glaiza started singing. Every line that she sings bumabalik sa isip ko yung mga araw na magkasama kami. The second time we met again sa cr ng club. That night we were locked in the VIP room. That time she gave me a ride because I have no car. When she asked me why Jason and I broke up. Her very corny yet havey joke for me. How she cares for me. How she makes me feel I am loved. Why? Bakit nagkakaganito ko over you Glai?

"hindi pa ba sapat ang sakit at lahat na hinding hindi ko ipararanas sayo, ibinubunyag ka ng iyong mata, sumisigaw ng pagsinta..."

That moment I eavesdrop over her Chynna and Kat. And I heard what she answered. Bakit ganun yung naramdaman ko? It feels like someone stabbed my heart.

"Bat di pa patulan? Ang pagsuyong nagkulang? Tayong umaasang hilaga't kanluran ikaw ang hantungan at bilang kanlungan mo ako ang sasagip sayo..."

Will you catch me if I fall? I know I shouldn't be like this because we were just FRIENDS tama ka. Close friend. But then I can't help it.

"Bat di pa sabihin ang hindi mo maamin? Ipauubaya na lang ba to sa hangin? Huwag mong ikatakot ang bulong ng damdamin mo, naririto ako nakikinig sayo.."

I think I'm falling inlove with you Glaiza but I'm afraid to sing it out. Baka masaktan na naman ako in the end.

"Rhi? Still there?"

Napatigil si Rhian sa mga iniisip nya ng magsalita muli si Glaiza.

"Uhhm yeah I'm still here."

"You better go to sleep Rhi. Hindi ka dapat nagpupuyat."

There she goes again. The Caring Glaiza De Castro.

"Uh yeah. Uhm goodnight Glai. I~Ilo~ Uhm I'll see you next time."

"Goodnight and goodmorning Rhi. Okay. See you next taping. Lov~"

Rhian ended the call. She can't take it hindi nya kayang marinig mula kay Glaiza ang salitang yun. Baka hindi nya mapigilan ang sarili.

~
The next day busy si Rhian at Glaiza sa taping. Nasa magkaibang location sila.

"Hi. Miss Rhi pinapabigay ni Miss Glaiza." Sabi ng PA ni Glaiza na pumunta pa sa location ni Rhian para lang ibigay ang dalawang tim-tam , dalawang pepero , isang tupperware na may vegetable salad at isang coffee from starbucks.

"Thank you. Kasama mo sya?" Humohopiang tanong ni Rhian

"Ay hindi po. Nagte-taping po sya ngayon. And ito pa." Sabi nito at inabot ang isang maliit na envelope kay Rhian "Basahin mo daw before eating. Uhm. Sige Miss Rhian aalis na ako baka may kailangan pa si Miss Glaiza sa set e." Paalam nito at umalis na.

Hindi pa naman start ng taping nya so nasa tent lang sya ngayon habang binubuksan ang envelope na binigay ni Glaiza

"Alam kong hindi ka na naman kumakain dyan sa set that's why I asked my PA to bring those foods for you. You should EAT! You're already slim Rhi you dont have to get slimmer and slimmer sige ka baka maging skeleton ka joke! Baka magkasakit ka nyan. Well I know those foods aren't nutritious except dun sa salad but then I know that'll make you smile. Loveyou Howell :)

Ps: Non fat yung coffee dont worry. :)

~Galura ❤" (Letter is on the media )

"Ehem"

Narinig nya ang pag-ubo ng hairstylist na si Marc.

"What?" Nangingiting tanong ni Rhian habang itinatago sa bag ang sulat ni Glaiza

"Wala. Did I say something?" Depensa ni Marc at tumatawa tawang kinuha ang blower "Umupo ka na dito. Malapit na daw start nyo"
Tumayo naman si Rhian at kinuha ang tupperware na may vegetable salad , isang pepero at ang kape na binigay ni Glaiza sakanya. When she was about to drink the coffee she saw what was the name written on the cup

"Lablab pala ha" Pang aasar ni Marc habang inaayos ang buhok ni Rhian

Napangiti na lang si Rhian at inabot ang phone tsaka tinext si Glaiza.

"Already got what Niks brought here. Thank You Galura. You're the sweetest! Loveyou! :*"

Hindi ba masyadong obvious yan? O assuming mo na naman Rhi na bibigyan nya ng meaning? She composed another message

"Hi Galura! Thanks for the foods! How I wish ikaw nagdala."

Oh sige Rhian SOBRA SOBRANG OBVIOUS YAN. Composed another message AGAIN

"Hi Glai! Thank you for the foods! :)"

....message sent

"Delete pa more." Tumatawang sabi ni Marc na nakikibasa pala ng tina-type nyang message

She gave him a death glare which made him give Rhian a cute smile.
