Chapter 19

Carina

I don't think he saw me. I texted him but he didn't reply. Maybe he has his reasons Majestia. Just wait for him to tell you about it.

Pumasok ako sa kuwarto dahil medyo nahihilo ako. Nagpalit ako ng damit. I ran to the bathroom then vommited at the bowl. What's happening to me? Nagsimula ng sumakit ang ulo ko sa hindi ko malamang dahilan.. and I also keep on vommiting.

Nang medyo kumalma na ang pagsusuka ko ay hinugasan ko ang aking bibig.

Pinilit kong kunin ang gamot ko at ininom iyon. Sunod-sunod ang pagtulo ng aking luha. Madalas na nakakaramdam ako ng ganitong mga bagay. Unti-unti namang nawala ang kirot na aking nararamdaman.

Wala pa ring reply si Elias kaya naman ay nakatulog nalang ako sa paghihintay.

When I woke up I did my daily routine and went out of my room. Nagtataka ako dahil parang may tao sa kusina.

I went on the kitchen and saw Elias. Nang makita niya ako ay lumapit siya sa akin.

He kissed me. "Goodmorning baby." I plastered a smile for him not to notice anything.

"Goodmorning," I greeted him too.

"I'm sorry my phone died that's why I didn't reply on your message immediately. Then when I replied I tried to call you but you're not answering my calls so I went here." He explained. Hinhintay kong may sabihin pa siya pero wala.

Ngumiti nalang ako. "Mabilis din kasi akong nakatulog kagabi dahil napagod sa school. Marami kaming ginawang activities." I said casually.

We ate together then he dropped me off at school.

Sana walang magbabago Elias. I'm willing to fight for you El.

"Hindi niya nabanggit sa'yo? Baka naman wala na 'yon sa kanya, hindi na big deal ganoon?" Nisha said.

"Sana nga Nish. Ang ayaw ko lang ay kailangan pa niyang magsinungaling sa akin." Tiningan ko siya.

"Baka nga naghihintay lang 'yon ng tamang tyempo para sabihin sa'yo?" I plastered my smile.

"May tiwala naman ako kay Elias." I just shrugged the idea and focus on reviewing because we're have an quiz later.

Natapos na ang quiz namin at nauna naman na si Nisha sa akin.

My phone vibrated. I saw Elias' name.

From: Elias

I'm here in front of the school, baby.

To: Elias

Malapit na ako diyan.

Naglakad na ako palabas at nakita si Elias na nakayuko sa kaniyang cellphone. Pagkatapos ay inangat niya ang tingin saka ngumiti sa akin.

He went near me then he kissed my cheek. Pumunta na kami sa kotse at pinagbuksan niya naman ako ng pinto.

We ate at the restaurant and went home after.

Agad ko namang inilatag ang mga gagawin kong projects. Umupo si Elias sa aking tabi. "I'll help you." He said.

We started doing my projects. We're scanning some books to get more information. Pagkatapos ay pinagsama-sama ko na ang mga ideas na nakuha ko at sarili kong eksplanasyon.

I woked up in my bed. Napabangon naman ako nang maalala ang mga projects. Natulugan ko ang paggawa noon at baka dinala ako ni Elias dito sa kama ko.

I immediately went to the living room. Nakita kong malinis na ito kaya maman lumapit ako dito. I saw a sticky notes na nakadikit sa mga libro na nakaayos.

'Goodmorning baby..I already finished your projects. You slept while we're doing your projects so I carried you to bed. You must be very tired. One more thing.. I already prepared your breakfast. Eat well, baby. I love you<3

-YourElias'

Napangiti ako sa aking nabasa. Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko sa kwarto at tinext si Elias.

To: Elias.

Goodmorning El. Salamat sa ginawa mo kagabi at sa paghahanda ng breakfast ko. I love you, too:)

Instead of replying, Elias called me.

"Hello," pambungad ko.

[Hi baby.. hows your sleep?] He asked with his husky voice.

"Okay lang naman. Salamat nga pala kagabi at sorry dahil nakatulog ako." I answered.

[Tsk. It's fine no need to say sorry.]

Medyo matagal din kaming nakapag-usap bago ko pinatay ang tawag.

I went to the kitchen and ate the breakfast that Elias prepared.

Naligo ako at nagpalit ng damit. I was wearing a white shirt paired with a high waisted jeans.

I went to the school to submit my requirements.. then umuwi naman agad ako dahil wala naman kaming klase ngayong araw.

I saw a woman at the door of Nana's house. She's wearing a bodycon dress that hugs her figure perfectly.

"Excuse me," she turned to me and I was shocked when I saw the same woman who's with Elias the other day.

"Oh hi there, dear." She greeted. "So you're Sage's current girlfriend, huh?" Parang hindi ko nagustuhan ang tono na kaniyang pananalita. She has this angelic aura but seems opposite inside. She's even calling him with his second name.

"O-oo," I answered. She's eyeing me from head to toe.

"I pity Sage. Bumaba ata ang standards niya." Napakunot ang noo ko sa kaniyang sinabi. "By the way, I'm Carina.. Sage's first love." She smiled and offered her hand. Kailangan ba talagang banggitin 'yon.

"Majestia. I'm Elias' girlfriend." Diniinan ko ang huling sinabi ko. Kinuha ko ang kamay niya at agad din namang tinanggal ang pagkakahawak. "May gusto ka bang inumin? Pasok muna tayo?" Inalok ko siya.

"Nah. I'm okay here. Hindi naman ako magtatagal." I nodded at her.

"Anong pinunta mo dito?" I asked.

"Oh yes! I'm here to tell you that I prepared for a surprised birthday party for Sage and I want you to cooperate with me." She's smiling the whole time she's explaining her plans. I felt my heart sting. She's doing what was supposed to be my job.

"Bakit ka naman nagpaplano para sa birthday ni Elias?" I asked her at natigilan siya saglit.

"I just want to do it just like what I've done before. I know Sage will like it." She explained, simply.

"But you're not his girlfriend anymore." Sumbat ko sa kaniya.

"I'll confont you now, okay. Elias and I are college sweethearts.. we just broke up because I went abroad for my dreams.. and I promise to myself that once I'll be back here, I'll take back what's mine, Majestia." She smirked evily. "You know what kung ako sa'yo break up with him habang maaga pa.. you're just going to cry in the end.. because Sage didn't move on from me, from us. Whenever he's not with you.. nasa akin siya." Then she crossed his both arms on her abdomen. "I remembered where I saw you and now I know. The other day, Sage and I went to a date to catch up.. and I saw you there. I wonder if he told you we're together that time? I bet he lied. Tsk."

I remained silent and didn't talked back at her.

"Oo nga pala. About his suprise party, you're just going to take him to their mansyon at 8 pm. Make sure you'll be there exactly 8 pm. That's all. Goodbye, Majestia." She even waved her hand on me.

Nang makapasok ako sa kwarto ay agad akong nanghina at napa-upo sa sahig. My heart is hurting so much. Nagsimulang magpatakan ang aking mga luha.. remembering what Carina told me earlier. I'll still fight for us Elias.. kahit ilan pang Carina ang darating.
