The Desperate Fangirls

Chapter 11

Zia's POV

I knew it.Those four are up to something.

Ito pala plinaplano nila all along.Acting nice towards us,just to make us feel like hell again.

Well Im done.Im done by their games.Im done hoping.

I was still deep in thought nang biglang pumasok ang tatlo at umupo sa kama.

Matagal din walang umimik samin,matapos ang ilang minuto ay suminghot bigla si Jane.

"Wah!!Bat ganun?Kala ko mabait na sakin si Gio!"iyak niya

"Kala ko may change of heart nadin si Keean sakin.."dagdag ni Shaune at suminga sa tissue.

Tumingin ako kay Dane,her face was blank and void just like me.But I know deep inside,nasaktan siya.Who wouldn't?I mean who would expect that your idols,the ones you adore,the ones who you came all the way to Korea,will be assholes and treat you like shit?

"So..ano nang gagawin natin ngayon?"tanong ni Jane habang pinupunasan ang kanyang namumulang mga mata.

Tumingin ako kay Dane.Bumuntong hininga siya.

"I guess alam na natin kung ano na ang dapat nating gawin."

"Are you sure about this?"tanong samin ni Mr.Ching sa kanyang office.

"Yes sir.We are.Sorry for causing trouble.And we thank you for having us."mahinahon na sambit ni Dane.

"Very well then.Hope you ladies the best."sagot ni Mr.Ching at dinismiss na kami.

Pag labas namin ng office ay sabay sabay kami bumuntong hininga.

"Sure ba talaga tayo dito,Dane?"ani ni Jane

"Wala nang ibang choice."sagot ni Dane

Bumuntong hininga uli kami.

"Hindi manlang ba tayo mag-gogoodbye?"sabi ni Shaune

"What's the use?As if they would care."sagot ko

Natahimik muna kami saglit.Matapos ang ilang segundo,nagsalita si Jane

"M-magpapahangin lang ako,"aniya at umalis

"A-ako may nakalimutan lang,s-saglit ah,"ani ni Shaune at umalis din

Napatingin ako kay Dane.

"So gusto parin nila sila makita,huh?"sambit ko sakanya

"Can you blame them?Hello,idols nila sila.They want to see them,one last time."sagot niya.Tumawa kami.

"Ikaw?Ayaw mo siya makita?"tanong ko sakanya

"It's better this way.Lalo lang ako mabrobroken-hearted.Pero magpapahangin ako,"aniya at umalis nadin.

Well then,where should I go?

I don't really know.Kung saan nalang siguro ako dalhin ng paa ko,I guess.

I began touring the building,yung canteen,yung mga hallway na nilalakaran namin,yung dressing room nila,yung practice room and finally,

Yung studio.

Nagresign na kami't lahat lahat,di parin kita napapasok,di ko parin alam ano nasa loob mo.

Parang siya.

Haynako Zia.Wag ka na nga magdrama diyan.Suko na,okay?Accept it.

Sumandal ako sa pintuan at nilabas ang phone ko.Nagsimula ako magpatugtog.

"Wish I could be the one
The one who could give you love
The kind of love you really need"

Ano ba namang kanta to.Nanadya ba to?

" Oh, I could say that I'll be all you need,
But that would be a lie
I know I'd only hurt you
I know I'd only make you cry
I'm not the one you're needing
I love you, goodbye"

Nadala ata ako sa kanta,napakanta tuloy ako.Hays,makaalis na nga.

Pero bago pa ko tuluyan makalayo ay may bigla humarang sa daan ko,slamming his long hand into the wall,blocking my body.

Umangat ako ng tingin at nakakita ng mga pares na mata na maitim at napakalalim,habang magkasalubong ang kanyang dalawang kilay.

Nang makita niyang nakatitig lang ako sakanya at walang balak umimik ay nagsalita na siya"Where are you going?"

"Away."sagot ko

"Why?"

"Are you really asking me that?"

"Yes."

"You're hopeless.Step aside."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Leave me alone!"ani ko at tinulak siya.

That guy really is unbelievable.So much for wanting to see him again one last time!

"I won't leave you alone."sagot niya.Napatigil ako at humarap sakanya.

"What do you want from me?!"I said.

"For you to stay."

Dane's POV

Nasa balcony ako ng building,nagpapahangin.

Hay,ang sarap talaga sa feeling ng air dito sa taas!Sarap siguro kung araw araw pa ko makakatambay dito.

Too bad I have to leave too soon.Hay,I'll miss this place surely.

Well,time to go.Time to forget,move on,and start over.Though I doubt it.

Papasok na ko ng elevator nang biglang may humawak sa wrist ko.

I turned and saw the guy,the guy with the beanhat.

"What are you doing here?"I asked,still surprised

"I--was looking for you."sagot niya

"Why?"tanong ko pabalik

"Because I...I..."hindi niya maituloy ang kanyang sinasabi

"Well.I'm sorry.But if that's not important,I'll have to go."ani ko at nagsimula nang umalis nang bigla nanaman niyang higitin ang kamay ko.

"I need an assistant."aniya

"Well,I'm sure there are plenty of ladies out there willing to be your assistant.Goodbye."ani ko at naglakad na nang pigilan niya nanaman ako.

"I--I need you."
