No Love, Just Hate

Nagising ako ng may tumamang sinag ng araw sakin. Hindi ko alam pero nahihirapan talaga kong bumangon. Dumapa ako ng maramdaman kong nananakit na naman yung tyan ko. Argh. Pregnants problem.

Wait... the last time I remember sa couch ako natulog ah. Ba't ako nandito sa kama? Bumangon ako at inikot yung paningin ko.

No sign of him. Napatingin ako sa lamp na nasa side table. There's a note there. Kinuha ko yun at binasa. Don't forget to drink milk also your vitamins. Don't skip meals. Will be busy today. -Winter Busy with whom? 'Kay.

I crumpled it saka ko itinapon yun. Aish. I'm having mood swings. Patayo na sana ko ng biglang magring yung phone ko. Pagtingin ko unknown nnumber yung caller. Sino kaya to? "Hello?"

"Hi Summer!" A girl? May new number ba si Ash. Ay wait she never call me Summer, Helen ang tawag nya sakin eh.

"Sino po sila?"

"This is Samantha. Winter's girlfriend." ewan ko ba pero nasaktan ako sa way ng pagpapakilala nya. Winter's girlfriend. Damn.

"Hey still there?"

"A-ah yes, Ma'am." ofc, I have to call her Ma'am since she know me as his secretary.

"Can you come with me at the mall? Please? And if you're thinking that Winter might get mad at you, you don't need to worry. Pinaalam na kita and he said okay. So can you come?" So. Pumayag syang samahan ko girlfriend nya. He's really a sadist. Naiinis ako sa kanya.

"Ahm..."

"Pleaaaaase Summer? Sayo lang kasi ako magiging comfortable eh and sayo lang magaan loob ko. Please?" Somehow, I felt guilty. She said na magaan loob nya sakin pero ako? Sobrang bigat ng nararamdaman ko sa kanya. Hay.

"Nakakahiya naman po, Ma'am."

"Aish. Stop calling me Ma'am! Just Sam. I'm treating you as one of my friends anyway! Haha" friends? Can I really befriend with her?

I heave a sigh saka ako sumagot. "Sure Ma-- I mean Sam. Anong oras po ba tayo magkikita and saan?"
