Can We Fall, One More Time?

Chapter 57: Her name is Rhea

Ethan's POV

I am on a grocery store. Pag gising ko kasi ng umaga nakita ko na wala na pa lang laman ang ref ko. If it is just a normal day, okay lang, it's not as if i can't order pero naalala ko na pupunta pala si allison bukas sa unit ko para iparinig ang bagong kantang ginawa niya.

Before i can enter to the grocery store, ay may sumabay sa paglalakad ko.

"Hello, nag kita na naman tayo!" napakunot ako ng noo, how many times i have to see her?

"What do you need?" I asked, Ngumiti lang ito bago umiling.

"Wala naman. Napagtripan lang kitang sundan," She said.

What is she up to?

"Aren't you working?" something clicked on my mind. "Or you're working here as well?" that would not be impossible, she's literally everywhere.

"Hindi naman. Pero binigyan mo ko ng idea baka mag apply na rin ako," She said, tinataas baba niya pa ang kilay niya.

I went to get a cart, bago ko siya muling harapin.

"Focus on your application form to apply here and stop following me alright? Bye." I said before I went to do my things.

Nag umpisa na akong mag ikot ikot and to my surprise, she is still behind me.

"luh puro prutas, puro gulay, diet ka?" but I ignored her. Allison likes healthy foods and on lunch, she often cooks vegetables. She's not on a diet, she just loves vegetables.

I bought some meat, fries as well as hush brown.

"Parehas lang namang patatas yan ha." Bulong niya pero hindi ko na lang siya pinansin.

If it is Allison that I am with now, hindi ganito kaingay. She literally has something to say whenever I get something.

Pumunta na ako sa chocolate section. I picked up Reese's chocolate and different kinds of dark chocolates. This is Allison's favorite as well. I used to hate dark chocolate dahil sa pait but I got used to it and it is actually good.

"Yuck naman peanut tapos dark chocolate, kaya siguro ang sungit sungit mo kasi wala kang sugar sa katawan, " Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.

"Anong connect?" I asked.

"Di ko sure pero meron connect," Napa iling nalang ako,why am I even talking to her?

Bumili na rin ako ng mga chips and biscuits. Mas lalo pang napa sama ang ekspresyon ng mukha niya.

"Yung totoo? Anong meron sa taste bud mo? Hindi ko pa natitikman kalahati sa mga binili mo pero yung kalahati ang weird." Her expression even shows how disgusted she is.

"I don't care about whatever you have in there in your mind so stop talking. I am not asking for your opinion. If you don't like this, then you're the worst one here, you're missing what's good, tuloy tuloy na ako para pumila while she is still behind me. "Ano ba talagang kailangan mo? You're bothering me again,"

"Anong again, ngayon lang kita ginulo, yung illang beses nagkataon lang yon!"I sigh before rolling my eyes." Ay bakla umiirap!"

Hindi ako pumapatol sa babae but with her I might.

"Hindi ako bakla pero kaya kung pumatol sa babae kung kailangan," Pananakot ko. Tumaas naman pareho ang kilay niya.

"So bakla ka nga?" napansin kong natatawa na ang iilan sa paligid namin. Oh god, thank you for making them all elderly, I wouldn't want to stain my band's name.

"Shut the fuck up!" I said. I didn't raise my voice pero bakas sa boses ko ang inis and she seems to notice it dahil nanahimik din siya.

When I was done paying for what I bought, lumabas na ako but she was still behind me.

I was in the parking lot, on the way to my car when someone approached me.

"Hi, diba ikaw yung drummer ng Serenity?" I nodded in response. "Pwedeng mag pa picture?" again, I nodded.

We took some pictures but she seemed unsatisfied. She looked around and asked the girl who has been following me to take a picture of us. Oh, I don't even know her name but she's pissing me off so bad.

Pagkatapos naming mag picture ay binilisan ko na ang paglalakad ko.

"artista ka pala?" hindi ko siya pinansin. "Pwede naman pero di ko lang expect. Kapag ba may nakakita satin na ganito mahehate ako? Hala, baka ma bash ako!"

Binuksan ko ang compartment ng sasakyan at nilagay don ang mga pinamili ko.

"Hindi ako artista at wala akong balak na maging artista," I said.

"Pero may nag papa picture sayo, ano yung Serenity?" She asked.

"That's our band. We create music." I opened my car pand hop in. Bago ko paandarin ang makina ay tinignan ko muna siya, tumabi lang siya sa gilid habang tinitignan ang sasakyan ko.

Napalunok ako. I somehow felt guilty. She followed me all day tapos iiwan ko lang siya ng ganito?

I opened the window. "Saan ka uuwi?" I asked.

Ngumiti ito. "Bakit ku kunin mo na ba yung necklace? Sabi mo sakin na yon?"

I actually forgot about that necklace already, for real.

"No, gusto ko lang sabihin na umuwi ka na and don't follow me anymore. I don't know what you're up to but I am not someone you can follow around. Sayo na yung necklace, keep it or throw it, I don't care."I said, nakangiti lang ito na nakikinig.

I was about to close the window when she said something.

"See you next time. " She said, something that I didn't want to hear.

I definitely wouldn't want to have that next time.

"No, I don't want to see you next time." sabi ko bago paandarin ang makina ng sasakyan ko.

Although rude, this is still the calmest way I talked to a girl except for Allison, masyadong maraming sinasabi ang babaeng to and she's annoying. Parang kung kelan mo mas tinataboy doon pa mas lumalakas ang loob.

"Magkikita pa tayo and you can't avoid that. Rhea kaya to!" tuluyan ko nang sinara ang salamin.

So her name is Rhea.
