Ms. Popular meets Mr. Bad Boy [ COMPLETE ]

Chapter 28

2 days had passed after it all happened. I didn't talk to Jay. I just talk to him if i need anything. Basta, it hurts me.

I'm here at the bar near the mall alone. I had a few drinks and I feel dizzy right now.

"Kuya, isa pa" I said to the bartender. I was about to drink the alcohol when I he's heard a man talk beside me.

"You drank a lot of alcohol. You should stop that"

Familiar ako sa deep voice niya. I think I heard it somewhere. Tumingin ako sa kaniya at he looks soooo familiar talaga.

"I think i know you" I said while pointing at his nose.

"Kate..." he said while caressing my face.

"Feeling ko talaga na kilala kita eh. I--Ikaw si Thorence diba?" Sabi ko at uminom uli.

"I'm not Thorence. And who is Thorence?" sabi niya.

Tumayo ako at umiikot ang paningin ko kaya natumba ako.

"Kate..." sabi ng lalake. "Be careful" itinayo naman niya ako.

"W-whoever you are... I'll g-give you a--" bigla kong nasukahan ang babaeng nasa gilid.

"WHAT THE!! EWW! KADIRI NAMAN 'TONG BABAENG 'TO!! SAKIN KA PA TALAGA SUMUKA EH NO?!" sabi ng babae.

"Miss, I'm very sorry. Kate, let's go home" hinawakan naman niya ang kamay ko at naglakad na kami.

"AREN'T YOU GONNA PAY FOR THE DRESS THAT I JUST BOUGHT?!" rinig kong sigaw ng babae. Tumalikod naman ako at nilabas ang purse ko at kinuha ang credit card.

"How much does it cost?" I said.

"9K!! ARGHH!!" I looked at her and she's wearing a White Ruched Bust Cutout Tie Backless Slit Hem Cami Dress, paired with a pink heels that was about 3 inches tall.

Familiar yung damit...

I took my phone out and searched for the dress that she's wearing right now.

"9K? 575 pesos lang yan sa SHEIN. Anong 9k? Anong gagawin mo sa 8,425?" sunod sunod kong tanong sa babae.

"Uh... I-It's 9k! In-order ko 'yan. Sabi dun 9k daw.

"Did you actually believe that?" i scoffed. "Well, nahh. Just by judging you? You don't think first before you buy dresses." Natahimik naman siya.

Natahimik ka yata haha

"Let's go" Sabi ng lalakeng kanina pa ako sinasabihan na umuwi na.

Inalalayan niya ako papasok ng car at nilagyan ako ng seatbelt. I saw him went around and sat on the driver's seat.

"Doon ka parin ba nakatira?" tanong niya. "Kate..." he tapped my shoulder "Kate... I'll ask ate Cassie to make sure"

"Sino ka ba?" i asked. "Kung ikaw si Thorence... gusto ko lang itanong sayo" i said "Why?" then my tears started to fall down. "After all what happened... after all we've been through. Why, Rence? Why did you left me? I did everything, just for you"

"I'm not Thorence, Kate." rinig kong sabi niya.

"Then who are you?" I asked again. I felt dizzy again so I fell asleep.

Tiningnan ko phone ko at nakita kong 1pm na. Umupo naman ako at naramdaman kong may hangover pa ako. I looked around at nakita ko ang mga gamit ko. Nasa bahay na pala ako.

Nasa bahay na ako?!

Dali-dali akong tumayo at pumunta sa kusina. Kumuha ako ng isang basong tubig at ininom iyon. Lumabas ako at nakita kong naka park na ang kotse ko. Pumasok uli ako at pumunta sa kwarto ko. Everything is complete, but how did I get here?

Nag tingin tingin ako sa kwarto ko kung may letter ba na andito. Nang wala akong makita ay humiga na uli ako. Liligpitin ko na sana ang kama ko ng tumunog ang cellphone ko.

May nakita akong message from an Unknown number.

From: +0905*******

Uminom ka na ba ng tubig?

To: +0905*******

Who are you?

Niligpit ko muna ang kama ko habang hinihintay ko yung message niya. "Siya ba yung naghatid sakin? "How did he know that I'm drunk last night? "Did something happened between us?" Yan ang mga tanong na gusto kong malaman.

Nagluto muna ako ng corned beef with potatoes habang hinihintay ko reply nung taong yun. Umupo naman ako sa couch after ko kumain. I opened my TV and nag watch muna sa Netflix.

I check my phone from time to time to see if he or she replies. Ang bagal naman mag reply nito. Naiirita na ako. Naisipan ko na i-message siya ulit, binuksan ko ang phone ko at nakitang nag reply na siya.

From: +0905*******

Ako ang naghatid sayo last night.

To: +0905*******

Who are you?

I asked again... I waited for 1 hour. Matatapos na yung movie wala paring reply. I was about to type a message, when i saw on my screen that this person is calling me.

I immediately answered it.

"Hello. Yes you! How the hell did you know my address? Who are you? Tell me!!" I said in a frustrating way.

[Hey, chill out. Meron ka ba ngayon at umuusok ilong mo?] aba bastos to ah!

"Whoever you are, tell me or else I'll kill you!" I shouted.

[Katie...]

The way that this man call my name, everything came to me. How it all started and how it all ended. The first guy who broke my heart...

"Andrei? Is this really you?" I asked. Paano niya nalaman na andito parin kami nakatira?

[Hey, Katie. How are you?]

I wanna get mad at him, but I can't. I don't know why. Past na y'on but, everything flashes back at me. I'm okay, I've moved on. Oras na siguro ito para need namin ng closure.

"It's been 3 years since we last talked haha. I'm doing great, how about you? I'm sorry I got mad kanina"

[It's okay... let's meet up later. I'll come by to your house, I'll explain everything]

"O-Okay" those are just the word that came out of my mouth. I don't know what to say to him. My questions will be answered later.

[What time?] he asked.

"4pm. I have a lot of things to do eh."

[Okay, 4pm noted. Well, see you later then]

"Okay, see ya bye" and we ended the call.
