My Mystery Girl

Go Get Him

[a/n: This chapter is dedicated to Kareeshma and Eiden's biggest fan @AlbertAllanSuba :)) Thanks for all the nice comments, I appreciate them and got me more inspired. ]

EIDEN'S POV

It has been a week since magkaayos sina Dave at Alex. I thought things with ZSADE will fall back in place after their reconciliation. Guess I was wrong. Ngayon naman si Stan ang nagwawala.

He comes to school late, most of the times he cuts classes. He only comes to our practices every other day, pinasasakit pa nya ang ulo ng mga trainers namin by his lack of focus.

Whenever we ask him what the problem is, he just turns his back at us.

Kagaya kanina nagwalk out na naman, kaya hayun kami nung ibang mga bugoy ang napagbuntunan ni Manager Hwang ng inis nya.

Instead 7pm matapos ang rehearsal namin, nagextend pa kami ng 1 hour.

I checked immediately my phone before changing my sweat shirt.

28 missed calls from my girlfriend.

Shoot! Nag-aalala na siguro 'to.

We're used to calling each other from time to time pero dahil high blood si Manager, bawal gumamit ng phones.

Thanks to Stanley.

Now I should make it up with my everything.

REESH'S POV

It's Sunday today and ZSADE's rehearsal day.

I know I shouldn't disturb him during his rehearsals but I have to remind him about our dinner with my mommy and daddy.

Dumating din kasi si Ate Klary, my elder sister, from US.

Did I told you I have the coolest sister in the world?

Well, she's a popular pianist and singer. Kakatapos lang ng US tour nya so she went home to take break.

[a/n: Ate Klary on the external link.]

I've been calling him a lot of times, but he's still not picking up.

 "Come on babe, pick up."

"Sissy, is there something wrong?" Ate Klary asked.

"N..,no, I mean, nothing. Nothing's wrong."

"Hmmm.." she stood in front of me and crossed her arms. "Don't tell me he's not coming. I heard pretty lot of good things about him from Mom and Dad, I don't have plans of getting disappointed, okay?"

"Yes ate."

I heave a sigh.  I suddenly felt the pressure.

Whenever ate's around, I feel this way. Every single opinion of her matters to our parents. She's a perfectionist, so she should not be disappointed with Eiden, or else our parents will feel the same way.

I tried to call him again.

After 3 rings he picked up.

"Finally..."

"Sorry babe, I'll be late."

"What?! Come on Eid, we've been delaying this for an hour now tapos malelate ka pa din. Unbelievable."

"Nag-extend kasi kami eh. I'm really sorry. Just give me 20 minutes more, i'll be there. i promise."

"I told you, never say promises you can't make. Bye." and then I hang up the phone.

"Where are you going?" Ate Klary.

"I'll just go freshen up."

Dali dali akong umakyat sa hagdan at pumunta sa kwarto ko.

Naupo muna ako sa kama ko, naiinis kasi ako.

Of all times, bakit ngayon pa sya malelate. Ate Klary will get furious. She hates late comers. She hates waiting.

I understand he has other things to prioritize but can't I be the no.1 on his list even once.

I get a bit surprised when somebody spoke from the intercom on my room.

"Sissy.. What time do you plan to go down? The dinner is served." Ate Klary.

"Go ahead and eat, I'm not that hungry at all."

I bet in less than 10 seconds aakyat dito sa kwarto si ate at sesermunan ako dahil I didn't chose a responsible boyfriend.

Hindi na ako nagtagal sa paghihintay, basta na lang pumasok sa kwarto  si ate with her hand on her waist.

"Hanggang kailan mo ba kami paghihintayin ha, tumayo ka na nga dyan."

"You can eat dinner without me, he's not coming anyway."

"Who's not coming?"

"Sssiii..  E..eeiid." nangangatal ko pang sagot.

"Eid? As in Eiden Lee, your boyfriend?"

"Y..yeah."

She heaved a heavy sigh. Eto na, magsisimula na manermon si ate.

"He's not coming? Eh sino yung nakatayo at naghihintay sa labas?" kunot noong tanong nya sakin.

She hit a button from my room's remote control, the windows open up, and I almost didn't believe what I saw.

"I like him." Ate Klary with a teasing smile.

Who wouldn't like him with this surprise?

He was standing in front of our house holding, I think, hundred pink heart shaped balloons and then there's these rose petals on the hood of his car which says 'I'M SORRY'.

"What is he sorry for?" Ate Klary asked to me.

"He said he's coming late."

"Well he arrived here exactly the time you went upstairs."

Nagkatinginan kami ni ate.

"Ang arte mo sissy, go get him now, gutom na ako."

"Thanks ate."

Dali dali akong bumaba ng hagdanan, lumabas ng bahay at niyakap si Eid.

"Thank you babe. I love you."

"Anything for you babe. I love you more."
