The Missing Piece Of Me

Chapter 38

9 A.M

I rolled over my bed a few times and did some stretching bago bumangon sa kama.

"Sh*t", bulalas ko habang kinakapa ang phone.

I checked under the bed at nandon nga, nahulog ko pala kagabi sa sobrang likot kong matulog.
Dali-dali kong chineck ang messaging pagkahawak ko nito.

One message from MyLoves 💙

One message from Michie.

I opened Michie's message first.

From: Michie
Good morning 😴😜

A wide smile unintentionally formed by my lips was evident kaya naman napansin ako ni Ponggay.

"Ang aga-aga gising na si Ate Jema?", tanong niya na.

"A-ah, h-hindi a-ah", taranta kong sagot.

I quickly opened Jema's message and breathed a deep sigh.

"Uy!", singhal ni Ponggay.

"Message niya last night", sagot ko even if I'm not sure kung yon ang gusto niyang malaman.

"Tulog pa talaga yan. Anong oras palang sa kanila neto eh. You told her na?", tanong niya.

"Not yet. Bwelo lang", I briefly stated.

"Basta tell her today", she warned.

"Oo na, oo na", I told her habang nagrereply kay Michie.

After training, nagpaalam na ako sa kanila para umalis. I said I wanted to go to my condo para maglinis. Totoo naman talaga yon, partially.

"Wongskie!", a girl I was expecting called out sa parking lot.

I turned to look at her but she gestured me na mauna na dahil baka may makakitang fans sa kaniya na kasama ako. She's quite a celebrity na rin kasi eh. Nauna lang ako sa kaniya sa condo and then checked on my phone dahil nag beep.

From: MyLoves 💙
Hi, Loves. Kumusta ang training niyo? Kumain ka na? Ingat ka jan. I love u!

To: MyLoves 💙
Okay lang nag bfast na ako. Ikaw rin. Ingat ka lagi.

Biglang may kumatok sa pinto kaya yun na lang ang nai-send ko kay Jema.

"Michie", tawag ko.

Pumasok na rin sya at sinara ang pinto. She took off her cap and sunglasses.

"Cozy. Nice", she complimented my room.

"Thanks", I said while focusing on her facial features.

She turned to look at me and something magical just happened.

We did a lot of catching up sa condominium at sobrang ganda niyang kausap. Naging comfy kami sa isa't-isa.

After the finals in w/c we landed 3rd, naging mailap ako sa team bcoz I wanted to be alone.
Days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months, Mich and I became really close. Naging gym and food buddies rin kami kaya nagkaron ng issue na mag on kaming dalawa.

Training-Dorm-School-Gala w/ Mich

That's my routine for the whole 2 months.

Dorm

"Let's talk", Ponggay  ordered at kinaladkad ako sa kwarto.

"Teka! 1 week tayong di nagkita eh", pagpupumiglas ko sa mahigpit niyang pagkakahawak.

"The fuck, Deanna Wong!", sigaw niya.

"Ano ba?!!", sigaw ko rin.

"Gago ka ba?! Are u aware that you're cheating? Paano ka nagiging masaya kung alam mong may nasasaktan ka na?! Magto-2 months mo ng niloloko si Ate Jema", her face heated up.

I remained frozen.

"Pinabayaan lang kita kasi akala ko mare-realize mo rin ang pagkakamali mo and you'll eventually confess to her pero guess what?! You're going out w/ someone else! You bitch!", she added kaya naman nasampal ko siya.

"Ano bang karapatan mong sabihan ako ng dapat at hindi ko dapat gawin?! Ano ba kita? Best friend lang kita so don't act like a family!", galit kong sagot sa kaniya.

"Deanna! Stop!", pagsingit ni Ate Maddie.

"Ano bang nangyayari sayo?! Pati si Ponggay sasaktan mo pa? If u want to flirt w/ that Michelle Cobb then go! Just make sure you won't come crying becoz you regret it", she warned.

I walked out of the room at sumakay na sa kotse. I headed for the condo to clear my mind and stayed there for a few days.

One damn day,
I checked my Instagram habang nakahiga. Naisipan ko lang naman dahil bored ako.

"I fought hard not realizing that I was fighting alone. It's time to actually let go. I love you, good bye 😊💔"

I'm hurt. Deeply.
Hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin dahil sa mga nabasa ko.
Why?! Why, self? Bakit mo sinaktan ang babaeng walang ginawa kung hindi mahalin ka? Bakit ka nagloko? Bakit mo ginago ang mga kaibigan mo?! Now you got no one and it calls for a drink. ention a user
