Winter's Confession (Four Season Series 2)

Chapter 3

WINTER's POV

I WOKE up late in the morning. My head hurts like hell. I took my phone from my bed side table and saw a lot of missed calls from Nat.

I ignored it and went to the bathroom. I took a cold bath and after my morning routines, I headed out for business.

"Thank you very much, Miss Dela Vega. My vote is hundred percent yours."

6 hours had passed, and my three meetings went well as planned. I don't know what to do next, so I decided to went back to my condo.

As soon as I arrived, I received a call from Nat. I chose to answer her call and listen to what will she gonna say to me.

“Winter,”

There’s something in her voice that I can’t explain.

“Yes?” I replied coldly.

“Your Lolo, he keeps calling me since last night. He said you’re not answering his calls. May problema ba?”

I can sense that she’s worrying at me again.

“Nope. I’m gonna call him. Bye for now, Nat.”

I didn't give her a chance to say anything, I hung up the call. I lay down to my bed and closed my eyes.

I was awaken by the loud ringtone of my phone. Tsk! I ignore Nat call and decided to go back to sleep.

But the worst thing is, I can’t go back to my peaceful sleep. Argh! I want to sleep in every seconds of my life now.

Pakiramdam ko ay wala ng maganda pang mangyayari sa buhay ko ngayon. I am left alone by the woman I love.

At malabong mahulog pa ako sa iba. Hindi naging kami pero sobrang sakit. Hindi siya naging pero sobrang nadurog ang puso ko.

Hindi ko akalain na ang isang katulad ni Khaine ay makakapagbigay sa ‘kin ng ganitong sakit sa puso.

“I love you Winter, but it’s too late now.”

Pagak akong natawa nang maalala ko na naman ang isa sa pinakamasakit na salitang narinig ko mula kay Khaine.

Ang lupit rin kasi ng tadhana e, ang lupit rin nitong nararamdaman ko. Mahal na niya ako e, pero hinayaan ko lang at pilit na pinaniwala ang sarili na si Zen lang ang mahal ko.

Nakakapanglambot. Parang nakakawalang-gana na ang bawat araw na parating.

Gusto ko na lang magkulong sa kwarto at huwag kumausap ng kahit na sino. Kung pwede lang. Kung pwede lang itapon kaagad ang sakit, ginawa ko na sana noon pa.

“

WELCOME back, yeloooo,”

I ignored Summer, she’s hyper as usual. “How’s your life in Paris?” Tsk!

“Kailan raw uuwi dito sila Shane?” Hindi ko pa rin pinansin si Summer. I tired and now she’s here asking me some stupid questions.

“Uy, Wints. Ano? Okay ba ‘yong dalawa?” I rolled my eyes from the back of my mind.

“Mabilis lang ba silang nagkasundo?” I wanted to punch her mouth right now.

“Winter, ano na? Sila na ba?”

Padabog akong tumayo sa pagkakaupo ko at tiningnan si Summer. Napakamanhid mo, Summer.

“Will you just stop asking me those stupid questions, Summer!”

Iniwan ko na siya matapos kong pakawalan ang mga salitang pinipigilan ko.
