CHAPTER 12

Race

''WHERE were you last night?'' wika ni Riyela mula sa kabilang linya. Matapos ng mga nangyari sa kanila ng dalaga kagabi ay iniuwi n'ya ito sa unit niya. Wala na ro'n si Neah dahil inihatid na ito ni Kennan pauwi ng mansion. But eventually, she fell asleep inside his car kaya ang ending binuhat, n'ya ito.

Nagising na lamang s'ya dahil sa ingay ng telepono nagtungo s'ya sa veranda para sagutin iyon.

He cleared his throat.'' I'm tired so I went home.''

Napabuga ito.''God, I can't believe you! Zayn, you abandoned me last night! in your birthday celebration, in the middle of the fucking crowd! And then you're saying na you just went home because you're tired.'' may hinanakit sa tono nito.

He sighed. ''Sorry.'' wala s'yang choice he invited her to be his partner then he abandoned her, it was a foul.

'' I'm not that naive to fall for your dirty lies. I'm not that dumb to be unaware that you left last night with that girl.'' anang nito.

''Well, she's not feeling well last night kaya inuwi ko na.''

Napasinghap ito. ''Zayn, why are you even responsible for her? She's just a spoiled brat who only knows how to cause you trouble! Azi was around. ''

''I don't know why am I even explaining to you.'' malamig n'yang wika dahilan para matahimik ito. Riyela is now crossing the line and it's not good. ''You are aware of the real catch between us two: I owe you nothing and you have no right to question me. You're not my girlfriend after all, so I'm not sure where you got the notion, or I wasn't informed, so I was unable to warn you after what you did last night. I didn't grant you the authority to pry with my decisions. Know your limitations, Riyela.'' he stated before pressing the end button.

He know he's been rude pero kung 'di n'ya ginawa 'yon ay baka mas lalo itong umasa, mabuti nang klaro ang lahat para maiwasan ang misunderstanding.

He's not that dense to not notice her motives hindi naman mahirap basahin ang kinikilos nito, but he refused. He's only into one woman, and that's her little girl who's still sleeping in his bed.

He planted a soft kisses on her forehead bago nagtungo sa kanyang walk in closet para makapag bihis. He needs to go jogging, may space sa ibaba ng condominium kung saan s'ya pwedeng makapag jog.

He's wearing hoodies and air pods, siniguro n'yang nakalocked ang pinto mula sa labas para secure ang natutulog na dalaga sa loob.

''You're here.'' a familiar voice caught his attention.

It was Evan, based on his outfit malamang nag j-jogging rin ito.

''Health comes first.'' aniya.

Sumipol ito. ''Coming from someone who's not afraid of flying bullets.'' sarkastikong wika nito.

He chuckled.''Mas katanggap tanggap namang mamatay dahil sa bala at hindi dahil sa sakit. I know I can count on you kahit magkapira-piraso pa ang laman ko.'' he joked. Evan frowned before showing his middle finger.

''I'm not God, Callistus. I'd rather shoot you to death than revive you alive.''

''You weren't there last night.'' puna n'ya.

Umattend lahat ng mga kaibigan n'ya maliban kay Evan at Rijax sa kadahilanang may biglaan itong inasikaso sa probinsya. It's fine with him though, naiintindihan n'yang busy rin ang mga ito sa mga kanya kanyang buhay.

''An accident came up.'' anang nito. Hindi nabago sa kanya, Evan usually encounters a lot of accidents. Good thing he's always prepared.

''You seemed stressed.''
