Quote for this chapter : How can it be that two of the greatest friends in the world can go from being each other's everything to absolutely nothing?
Overview : A friend will turn out to be a foe :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“That Kendra Bitch!” Meg hissed threw the pillow to the tv screen and gritted her teeth as she crossed her arms on top of her chest
“Kapal ng mukha mag punas punas pa! siya ang girlfriend, Te?” She took a deep breathe and sat beside me once again
It was a live televise shot of the race going on in Rome, I couldn’t help but wonder how on earth did Kendra appeared right beside Iñigo.. I know she’s working with Giorgio Armani but, why is she THERE?!
There in the racetrack?
Beside Iñigo? While damping a tissue on his sweat-drench face?
“I can’t believe it!!!” I grunted and looked up to the ceiling in the range of frustration. I tightly closed my eyes and rested my head
Why is my life so fVcked up?
“But Girl, Ang hirap ng nagpapanggap ka ah? kasi, definitely.. hindi mo yan masusumbat sa kaniya” Meg blurted out
"Kasi nga di'ba may amnesia ka kuno?" She added before quoting it with her fingers and rolling her eyes
“That makes it so much more complicated” I sighed and decided to grab my crutch and proceeded to start my way back to my room.
My phone lit as it vibrated on top of my wooden nightstand beside my bed. I immediately grabbed on it and right away, saw Iñigo's name flashed right before my eyes.
“But,Nina.. Hintayin mo muna paliwanag niya sa’yo. You’ll never know” That thing Meg told me echoed inside my head over and over again before I finally landed on my bed and ignored his call
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Nina? Hiwalay na ba kayo?”
“I thought the whole time, you were engage?”
“Ano ba nangyayari sa inyo?”
“Showbiz naman masyado tong sagot mo”
“Kailan pa?!”
Those are just few of the millions questions I’ve heard on today at the office. It's like everything that happens to me spreads thourougly on other people's mind.
They probably saw that thing on tv but I couldn’t even have a straight answer to any of those questions
I don’t even know my self. Wala din akong masagot kung hindi puro sa isip lang. Sinarili ko lahat
“Nina, Hiwalay na ba kayo?” ---- Hiwalay na nga ba talaga?
“I thought the whole time you were engage” ---- Akala ko din nga eh..
“Ano ba nangyayari sa inyo?” --- Hindi ko din alam
“Showbiz naman masyado tong sagot mo” ---- Sana nga sa showbiz na lang tong lahat. Sana palabas lang lahat
“Kailan pa?!” --- I don’t know … but the fact that we’re drifting apart.. slowly, maybe it has been awhile
Nagkasabay sabay lahat, I don’t even know where to start. Hindi pa nga tapos yung isa may panibago na naman
I can’t even walk straight enough. My head was ducked as if dodging those stares and curious eyes I get from the near vicinity, I still could hear mumurs as I passed by their tables. It's giving me creeps
It has been always like that ever since they’ve seen the whole ‘punas ng pawis ni Iñigo by Kendra” thing
“I don’t see her wearing the ring anymore”
“Maybe it’s true afterall, masyadong gwapo si Iñigo to settle for less”
I snapped my head up to the direction where I’ve been hearing the gossip, I found two women who immediately disperse themselves after they saw me glaring at them
UGH! Mga Kristine Chismosa talaga!
I harshly took my crutch and started walking away, but the moment I attempted to grab on it, I suddenly felt like losing my balance.
Good thing, I was caught up on the right time and supported my weight just right by two strong arms that Im not really used to holding me like that.
“Easy there, Nina” I heard coming from a man. I looked up and saw.. Luigi who has the amusement visible in his smirk
He helped me up and added
“Just ignore them, they’re not worth the time. I heard may amnesia ka daw so hindi mo siguro maalala na ganyan na sila kahit noon bago ka pa”
He winked at me and then assisted me all the way to my table
“Thanks.. Lui—”
I stopped my self half way when I realized I suppose to be acting like I don’t know anyone. I almost slipped up and it made my heart sped up when I realize he noticed the last words were cut off
“Well.. I’m quite popular here so, I wouldn’t be quite surprise if you already heard my name.”
He winked again and added
“ It’s Luigi.. but back then you used to call me Lui or on rare case baby boy” His brows wiggled playfully in a manner that would initially tells you ‘I know I’m cute’ type
“Hey .. There you are!”
We both turn around and notice Jesse approaching us. A smile broke her lips as she gave her ‘rumored’ boyfriend, Luigi, a sweet big hug
Then from the corner of her eyes, I know she was watching me with that really unfazed gazes. I don’t know but it somehow gave me a creep. Jesse isn’t usually like that, atleast that’s what I thought .. not until now
“Luigi, mauna ka na .. Mukhang they needed you up stairs and coffee break is over four minutes ago, you wouldn’t like if ‘The Great’ Oliver Matias finds you here.. you know him” She rolled her eyes and the chuckled
Still her side glances were still glued at me, and for some reason .. I’m not liking it
“Stay away from him” She whimpered on my side as I watch Luigi’s back retreating. I couldn’t comprehend what’s going on inside Jesse’s head.
I frown and asked in disbelief, wishing I just heard it wrong
“Pardon?”
“I don’t wanna be ‘the bitch’ here, Nina but Stay away from Luigi” Her face was serious and not even a hint of light joke was on her tone
“But—you’re not actually thinking…”
“Just do what I say para walang gulo, Nina. I know It may sound a threat, but I swear, I can’t help it whenever he’s looking at you----”
She gazes in the my eyes and sighed--- “It hurts here” She pointed out her left chest and bit her lower lip
“Let me just remind you, he used to like you a lot before.. and whenever we’re out for a date he wouldn’t miss out mentioning your name even for a sec.. like how you like rocky road ice creams, dislike cats .. and whatever he finds cute about you”
I was frozen on my spot, and unable to say anything but feel the guilt and blaming my self for such tangled webs they were on
“I---I’m sorry”
“You know, Nina.. you’re really nice and pretty but, if you’re really sorry.. You would really stay away from him from now on. I’m sorry”
And just like that, she left me there in the middle of the hallway

(A/N: I know I know.. Hate niyo rin dapat si Jesse. Pero you know, pag nagmmhal, protective lang tlga .. But heck, what do you think? )
