First Love

Chapter 40

Atarah's POV

"River, do you know where Yahzrel is?" I asked worriedly. It's been two days since I last saw her and I'm worried. Kung wala siya sa penthouse niya ay dapat nasa hospital siya but she's not there.

I don't know what to do anymore.

'I'm sorry tarah, I don't know where she is' River replied. I thanked her and bid my goodbye before ending the call.

Where are you? Possible bang hindi siya umuwi dahil ayaw niya akong makita?

Huling ko siyang nakita ay nung gabing yun. She's with someone. She looks happy with that girl unlike kapag kasama niya ako na parang naiinis parati. She treats me like I'm stranger and it hurts me knowing that she already might move on.

I love Yahzrel so much and leaving her hurts me but I have nothing to do but leave her.

"Sit down, Tarah. Nahihilo na ako kakalakad mo"sabi ni Olivia na naka upo sa sofa kaharap ang kanyang laptop. I stop pacing around and look at her.

"Olivia... I don't know what to do anymore" naiiyak kong sabi. Lumapit siya saakin at niyakap ako. I cried in her shoulder while she's trying to hush me down.

"Sinabi mo na ba sakanya?"

I shook my head as an answer that made her sighed.

I haven't told her my reason. I was planning to but everything is being messy again. I just want to be with her but why is everyone against us?

It's not true that I don't love her. I've been inlove with Yahzrel since we were children. She's the only one I want to marry but because of him everything fell apart.

"Dad, is it possible to like a girl?" I asked my father while we were on our way home. My dad laughed at what I said that made me confused.

"Yes, anak. Why? May nagustuhan ka bang girl?" he asked. I nodded my head and he laughed again. I scratched my nose and looked at him with my confused expression.

"I like Yahzrel, dad" I said honestly and smiled when I remembered her annoyed face. She's so cute.

"I already know that you like Yahzrel anak. You're so obvious" he answered and carried me because we've already arrived.

We were just talking as we entered our home but Dad suddenly stopped and put me down.

"Allan! Bro! What's up?" masayang sigaw nito sa isang lalaking hindi ko kilala. Nagbatihan sila at parehong nagtatawanan nang bumaling saakin ng tingin ang lalaking tinawag ni dad ng 'allan'.

"Tarah, iha. I'm your tito allan, hindi mo ba ako naaalala?" he asked while smiling. I didn't answer him because I don't know him.

Dad said don't talk to strangers.

"It's okay anak. He's my friend"

Dad smiled at me. I looked back at Dad's friend and smiled a little to him.

"How old are you, iha?"

"I'm 10" I answered.

"My daughter is also 10 years old. Do you want a friend? You two can be friends"

"No. I already have a best friend. Her name is Yahzrel" I said as I shake my head at him. Tumango tango ito so I know he understand.

"Then do you want a girlfriend when you grow up?"he asked again.

I know what a girlfriend is. Dad explained it to me before.

"No, I'm sorry" I apologized to him. I already have a girlfriend in my mind. She's that annoying little girl.
