His Gangster Queen

Chapter Three : B!tchfriend

♛ HIS GANGSTER QUEEN : Three ♚

SOMEONE

I hope you'll meet 'her' soon....

CHASE

"Happy Birthday." Iyan lang ang tanging lumabas sa bibig ko habang nakatingin ngayon sa harap ng puntod niya.

"I miss you."

Silence...

Isang mahabang katahimikan ang namayani. Tunog ng malakas na hangin at mga dahong naghahampasan lang ang tanging naririnig ko. Bigla naman akong naalerto nang makarinig ako ng yapak at makaramdam ng presensya mula sa likod ko. Inihanda ko ang sarili at humarap sa likod, gano'n nalang napakunot ang noo ko nang makita ko siya.

"Alex?" Napangiti naman siya sa reaksyon ko.

"W-what...?" Isang ngiti lang ang iginanti niya bago tuluyang makalapit sa akin. Sinundan ko lang siya ng tingin hanggang sa mailapag niya ang dala-dalang bulaklak.

"Happy Birthday, B!tch." nagulat naman ako sa sinabi niya. How did she know that it's her day?

"It's been a while, Chase." she said then looked at me. Ako naman gulat parin.

"Ha -how?" Napairap naman siya sa sinabi ko.

"Grabe ka naman. Parang wala tayong pinag-samahan." Then she chuckled "I'm here to visit her, of course. Siya lang yata ang nag-iisang babaeng nakatalo sa'kin at nakapagpatayo ng balahibo ko." Bigla siyang umirap "She even made me cry infront of many stupidents for goodness sake." Sabi pa nito at tumawa na para bang may naalala.

Yes, I remember that day.

The day na akala niya ay papanain talaga siya ni Queen, that's why she cried. When they had the deal? Hindi ko maiwasang mapangiti ng maalala ang araw na 'yon.

"You know what?" Napatingin ako sa kanya nang mag-salita siya. "I didn't expect this. Hindi ko akalain na.... she'll be gone." bigla siyang natahimik, pati narin ako, Biglang nawala ang mga ngiti ko sa labi "Because for me, isa siyang masamang damo. This b!tch." she said and chuckles. Gusto ko sana siyang batukan sa pag-tawag niya kay Scarlett ng b!tch pero sa bagay, it's true.

"I was really shocked when I heard the news. I thought It was just a rumor 'cause people are just insecure for spreading a false news, you know. But I really don't know what will I react after finding out that it was true." she said.

"I know that I am also a b!tch, a bully and everyone says that I really don't care 'bout others but hey, she's the one who made myself to be real. She made me realize that hindi lang nadadaan sa pagiging Queen Bee ang dahilan para galangin, tingalain at irespeto ka nila but it was you for being the real you, not made in china although I'm half chinese." That made me speechless. "That's why I really admire her. She's my girl crush you know." napatingin ako bigla ng wala sa oras sa kanya na ikinatawa niya.

"What's with the looks, Chase? Hindi ibig sabihin ng girl crush e lesbian na ako. Sus asa! Sa ganda kong 'to?! No way I'll be a lesbian. Having a crush on her means hinahangan ko siya! Itong taong 'to kung ano-ano iniisip!" sabay irap. Can't help it. Kala ko talaga.... nevermind.

Ilang oras pa kaming nag-tagal doon. Nag-kukwentuhan about past. It's been two years ng huli ko siyang nakita at nakausap and it was our graduation day. Naikwento niya sa akin na naging mag-kaibigan pala talaga sila ni Queen. And,

She's her bitch friend, she said and laugh.
