Notes from the Moon (Solar Series #1)

Present...

"Bakit di mo sinabi sa akin na siya pala nakasabay mo sa eroplano?" I groaned in frustration while carrying Anais' luggage and putting it on the back compartment of my car. She was just staring at me na parang ako pa ang may kasalanan. 

"Pag ako di mo tinulungan dito, uuwi kang nakayapak sa kalsada", I said warning her. 

"Eto na nga oh, I'll help you na. You're so pikon!", she said in a childish-like voice. She helped me put the rest of her stuff in my car. 

"Para kang ewan talaga. When you left, isa lang maleta mo tapos ngayon may excess baggage ka pa. Ano ba yang mga binibili mo? Buti sana kung pagkain." 

She roughly closed the trunk of my car making a loud sound. She even faked a sweat on her forehead pretending to wipe it. Kala mo naman napagod sa pagbuhat. 

"Dammit, Anais! Dahan-dahan lang please", mangiyak-ngiyak kong sabi habang hinahaplos ang bagong bili kong Range Rover. Walang hiya talaga tong si Anais eh. Bininyagan na agad. She made a peace sign and smiled sheepishly at me before entering the shotgun seat. Napa-tss nalang ako sa kaniya. 

I surveyed my car for any scratches and checked the tires before going inside the driver's seat. Ganito talaga pag bago ang sasakyan. Alagang-alaga. 

I fastened my seatbelt and turned on the engine of the car. Nagsimula na akong mag drive papunta sa bahay ni Anais. 

"Hey, you didn't answer my question yet", I said bugging her. I gave her a glance. Here eyes were closed.

"What question was that again?", she asked weakly. 

"Yung about sa kaniya..." I trailed off not being able to say his name. 

"Kanino?", Anais asked while smirking. 

"Nananadya ka ba?", asar kong tanong sa kaniya. She sat up straight and crossed her arms. 

"Girl, you need to take a chill pill. First of all, I was about to tell you a while ago na siya ang nakasabay ko sa airplane but then you ended the call. Nakasalubong ko siya on my way to the restroom. He just nodded and walked past me. Also, it's been almost two years since you broke up with him. How could he not find someone else? You nagged at him not knowing what he was going through. That must've been so hard for him", Anais said giving me a taste of my own medicine. 

Nahiya tuloy ako sa sarili ko. I felt embarrassed with how I acted earlier. Ako pa talaga ang may ganang magalit na makita siyang masaya sa piling ng iba when in fact it was I who broke up with him. The nerve of me. I'm still so selfish. Ang laki siguro ng galit niya sa akin pati na rin si Tita Sol. Kamusta na kaya siya?

I got back to my senses when I heard a honk from the car behind us and Anais shouting my name. Naka green light na pala.
