Loey

My jaw tightened.

“This will be the last time that I’ll meet you in private, Karlin.”

“Let’s see about that.” Her eyes lit up and a smile plastered on her face when I didn’t respond.

I left her without saying anything. I was happy earlier but my mood was now ruined. I just really wish that Karlin would stop whatever she’s planning.

I threw myself on the sofa as soon as I entered my studio.

Mariin kong ipinikit ang mga mata ko at sinubukan kalmahin ang sarili. Hindi ko alam ko kung tama ba ang ginawa ko. Hindi ko alam kung tama ba ang naging desisyon ko na makipagkita kay Karlin.

Primrose’s face flashed in my mind. How she looked sad. How she forced a smile in front of us. She deserves a lot of things. She deserves happiness and a guy that could make her happy.

And I want to be that person.

That’s why I’m trying to sort things out right now.

“Saan ka nanggaling?”

I opened my eyes and looked at Matt. Mabilis akong umupo nang maayos at hinayaan siyang tumabi sa akin.

“I thought you left.”

He sighed. “Our manager forgot about the interview he accepted. The others are waiting for it but I need to record a cover for my channel so I got excused. Can you help me? Gamit kasi iyong isang studio dahil may recording ang Grand knights para sa special song nila.”

“Well, I can make time. I need a breather anyway.” I stood to prepare the tools for the recording. I also help him set his camera inside. “Paano ka nga pala nakapasok?” tanong ko kay Matt pagkatapos mag set up.

“Kuya Darwin was here earlier and let me in.”

Isang tango ang binigay ko sa kanya. “Oh, right. May naiwan nga pala siya. Anyway, you can warm up now and tell me if you’re good to go.”

Matt listened to the song he’ll be covering twice before we started to record his version. It only took one take and we’re already done. He’s not a perfectionist like Baron when it comes to singing, but he’s really just talented enough that he didn’t make any mistakes during the recording. He was also satisfied with the result so he didn't need to do it again.

He sat on the couch again while I turned my swivel chair and faced him. I let Matt call his editors and update them that he’ll send his video later.

Bumalik ang atensyon niya sa akin pagka-end ng tawag niya. “Okay ka lang ba?”

I leaned against the chair. My arms crossed on my chest. “Yeah. Why?”

“You look troubled when you came back. Hindi ka naman ganoon kaninang dumalaw kami.”

Hindi kaagad ako nakasagot. Nakatingin lang siya sa akin kaya naman huminga ako nang malalim bago umiwas nang tingin.
