NEVER LOVE AGAIN CHAPTER 6

Namamawis ang dalawang kamay ko at ang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko. Hindi ako mapakali. Palakad lakad ako sa loob ng kwarto ko. I keep on pinching my fingers and biting my nails.

Today is Saturday, so it means today I'll tell them the truth and I'm so nervous just thinking on how this will go.

I looked at my window and there, I saw him leaning on the railings of the veranda. He's looking at me, I gulped.

I don't know why I didn't look away and I don't know why he calm me. He freaking calm me by just looking at him! I don't know how but it did happened.

He looked fresh wearing his white thin long sleeves. Para siyang nasa beach dahil sa sout niya. His hair was disheveled but it didn't lessen his looks, it made him more handsome.

"You okay?" He asked. I gently nod my head.

"Yeah..." Nataranta ang boung sistema ko nang tanungin niya ako.

He smiled at me, and everything suddenly stops moving. My eyes only focused on him and everything went blurred. He's the only one I see.

"Cold feet?" He asked again.

"I guess?" I nervously answered him.

"Relax and close your eyes for a moment." I did what he said.

I thought that I'll be relaxed, but my heart didn't. My heart is beating wildly. The moment I opened my eyes, he was still there. He might be faintly smiling at me, but that made me smile.

The wind blew my hair, it scattered all over my face so I laughed.

"Akala ko ba kinakabahan ka?" Tanong niya.

I laughed, then I tucked my hair behind my ear before I answer him. "Wala. Thank you nga pala ha? It calmed me..." you calmed me.

"It's nothing."

I looked at my back when someone knocked on my door. Mula roon sa pinto ay napatingin ulit ako kay Cayden na nakatayo pa rin doon sa kinatatayuan niya kanina.

"Good luck," sabi niya sa akin.

"Thank you..."

Ngumiti ako sa kaniya bago ako naglakad papunta sa pintuan at binuksan ang pinto.

"Nandito na ang mga kaibigan mo hija," Saad ni Manang, ngumiti ako sa kaniya at tumango.

"Salamat manang."

Pagkababa ko ng hagdanan ay rinig na rinig ko ang mga boses nila Aerith at Ella mula sa sala. I heard my family's voice too, for sure nagkasundo na naman silang lahat.

I saw Aerith sitting in our couch, she's wearing a peach dress match with her black sandals. Nakaayos din ang buhok niya at naka light make-up pa talaga.

Nakompirma ko ang hinala ko nang makita ko si Kuya Raven na nakaupo sa kaharap na couch na kinauupuan ni Kuya Raven. Katabi naman ni Kuya Raven si Kuya Rhys na kaharap naman ni Ella na nakasout ng crop top at black highwaist pants.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit naiiyak ako habang pinagmamasdan silang lahat na magkasama sa iisang lugar.

Sila yung iiwan mo, Ren. Ito yung maiiwan mo.

I sniffed that made all of them looked at me.

"Reeen!" Aerith ran towards me as she screamed my name. Natawa naman akong yumakap pabalik. "I missed you," she cutely said.
