NOT A HAPPY ENDING ANYMORE

23- Feelings/Him

I was about to leave because its been an hour since Drea left me here not answering my phone calls when I saw a familiar old man looking at me intently.

He was scary. His looks as if they would kill me. Same eyes I saw four years ago...

And that's when I thought Im just imagining things as if I see them. Crap! This is not the right time for this. Tss. I walked past by the old man... it cant be him. His too weak...too old...

I just buy a gift for Annie and go home. Maybe Im exhausted. Yeah just exhausted.

*bzzt bzzzt*

        Hope you doing well. Keep safe :*

I smile

I missed that arrogant guy!

"El"

Muntik na kong malaglag sa kama sa gulat. Lintek na John!

"Kanina ka pa ba?" I asked

"Ahmm sort of" he said.

"Hahaha. What do you need?" I asked.

He became serious.

"I think Drea has something to do with your case. I think she knows something. Diba okay na kayo? Why dont you ask her?" He suggest.

I sighed.

"Drea has nothing to do with that thing. She's my friend, bestfriend and John please stop putting the blame on her!" I said a bit irritated.

He look confused. Tsaka umiling.

"Matigas talaga ang ulo mo. Hindi pwera okay na kayo wala na siyang pwedeng gawin sayo. What if Drea is a traitor? Yan kasi ang hirap sayo Ellie you trust a person easily. Dont lose your second life on being fool. You better stop that or else you'll be doomed El" he said.

Bigla namang uminit ang ulo ko sa sinabi niya. Ganon ba ko katanga ha? I have my own life! The f*ck is wrong with accepting your bestfriend? Again?

I slap him.

"DONT YOU EVER CALL ME FOOL JOHN. IM NOT THAT SMART AS YOU BUT I KNOW HOW TO HANDLE MY G*DD*MN LIFE! JUST GO WITH THE FLOW AND STOP PESTERING GO!" I shouted.

Im not fool kung may tanga man dito si Drea yon. Hindi ako.

Hindi ako tanga para hindi malamang may balak siyang masama pero sana kahit minsan maranasan ko ulit kung gano kasaya yung pagkakaibigan namin dati.

"Seph!" I said.

"Ano na naman Ellie buntis ka ba ha?" Tanong niya sakin. Paniguradong naaasar na siya sakin. Kanina ko pa kasi siya inuutusang bumili ng kahit ano dito sa mall.

"Ugh fine. Ayaw mo? Tara uwi na tayo" I said.

Tsaka tumayo at aakmang umalis ng bigla niyang hawakan ang kamay ko tsaka niya ko hinarap sa kanya.

"Ano ba kasing gusto mo?" He asked.

Palihim akong napangiti. Sabi niya kasi nung nakaraan gusto raw niyang makabawi dahil hindi siya gaanong nakakapunta sa bahay kaya ipinasyal niya ko dito.

"Ayon oh!" I said happily.

Para naman siyang tanga na nagulat at napanganga.

"Seryoso? You want that bulak?" He asked
