Never Let Me Go

Chapter 40

Zid's POV

I don't know what to do. Sumasakit ang ulo ko sa kakaisip sa babaeng 'yon. Not that I'm freaking excited, but I'm absolutely horrified!

Bakit pa siya umuwi dito? Sinong uuwian niya dito? Ako? Of course! Nagtext nga siya na iwelcome back ko siya. For what? To prove to me that she gained a lot because she left me behind?! What the heck?! As if I'll let her pull me back to her life again. I will never ever come back to her. Not now that I have Flare. I'm just freaking threatened for what reason that I don't even know. What the hell Zid?

She texted me again. Tumingin ako roon.

From 09*******

I'm still waiting.. Justine, please let's meet. I want to talk to you, mine.

"Ahh!" Napalingon ako sa sumigaw.

I saw my sister in her shocked face. I gave her a glare because of that like what is she thinking? Is she shock for what?

"Oh my gosh! What the hell Zeejay baby?! What are you wearing?! You look like a mountain boy like what the hell?! Paano naging akma ang checkered na polo sa stripes na what the hell is that?! A jagger? Saan ka nakabili niyan?!" Ate stated in horror.

Napatingin tuloy ako sa suot ko. Nakagat ko ang labi ko nang dahil doon. Yeah right, what the hell is happening to you, Zid?

Napaupo ako at napahilamos sa mukha. "Just a gift." Sambit ko.

"From whom?! I concluded that she doesn't have any taste when it comes to fashion styles. Go change your clothes jerk! Is that how you dressed for your first date with Flare?! What a shame!" Singhal niya at mabilis na nanghalungkat ng damit.

Sana nga ate. Sana nga first date na lang namin ni Flare ito. Paniguradong masayang masaya pa ako pero hindi eh. Finn is back and I don't know what is she up to. Bakit siya makikipagkita sa akin? To explain her side? For what? To gain my trust again?

And how do you sure Zid that she came back here to explain her side to you?

"It's not a date with Flare ate.." Halos pabulong ko ng sabi habang iniisip ang mga bagay na pwedeng mangyari.

Should I accept her invite? Should I talk to her? Should I keep casual or act nothing?

I already don't love her, I'm freaking sure of it. But I'm freaking apoplectic to her for what she did to me. I was left behind with no words. Who wouldn't get mad of that?

I'm freaking furious! Mad that I want her to suffer!

"so that's explains the grotesque pairing of clothes. Saan ka ba pupunta at pinapapangit mo ang sarili mo?" Tanong niya sa akin at hindi ako kaagad nakasagot.

I deeply inhaled before I answered her with so much frustration. "I'm meeting Finn. She's back."

Even I stated it in a very simple way, I can see the dismay face on her. She was shocked. Of course, who wouldn't shock? After all of these years, she came back like nothing happened. Like she didn't do anything to me. She made me worse. I became a playboy because of her. Binago niya ang tingin ko sa mga babae.

Not until Flare came to my life. She did make me back to my old path, to my old life. To the old Zid na parang hindi nasaktan. Natuto akong magmahal ulit. Akala ko hindi na dahil sa kagagawan ni Finn but Flare, she enlightened me.

"What the!? Tapos ganiyan ang suot mo?! Aba! Hindi ako papayag diyan! Go change your clothes and make yourself handsome! Dapat malaman niya kung anong pinakawalan niya! Nakakainis ang babaeng 'yon! Teka, sino bang nagyaya?!" Sabay tapon ng gray V-neck shirt at black pants.
