Xeah Rondall

Chapter 30

Taegan

The image of Xeah when she walked away from me burned in my mind.

I hate myself right now. Her face, her emotions, alam kong nasaktan siya.

I am way too dumb for not talking immediately.

It's two days since that unfortunate day. Hindi ko na siya nakausap o nakita man lang.

Nakaka frustrate. Gusto kong magpaliwanag na mali siya. She was wrong to understand that kiss that happened between me and Leah.

Fuck!

"Dude, makinig ka." Bulong sa'kin ni Devon.

Right. I forgot na we're meeting with Noah at the moment.

May pinag-uusapan sila ni Dan. Habang nakikinig lang kami. Well, Noah heard us already. The night when we performed Stuck in front of so many people.

In front of Xeah.

That night.

What happened that night was, I don't know how to put it into words pero gusto ko 'yun. I was sorry yes, for taking advantage of Xeah's drunken state.

But that moment never left my mind.

"Now all you have to do is sign here."

Dan said, pinakita niya sa amin ang file na kailangan naming permahan.

The members were signing already. So it was a great deal after all. I trust Dan when he signed it.

Pumirma na din ako.

Wala ako sa sarili ko eh. I haven't talk nor seen Xeah.

And I miss her, badly enough to make me fall out of myself.

"Congratulations, Silhouette. You're officially a part of HAEX Entertainment now." Isa isa kaming kinamayan ni Noah.

"Looking forward for you and I's collaboration Taegan." Sabi pa niya. Ngumiti lang ako.

We're at the restaurant near the baywalk. Dito kami nag meeting, after that signing of contract, Noah left already.

"Sapakin mo nga ako, baka kasi nanaginip lang ako." Sabi ni Alexa kaya binatukan siya ni Kendall.

"Tanga, totoo 'to."
Nagtawanan naman sila.

"Si Taegan kaya sapakin niyo? Kanina pa 'yan lutang."

Sinamaan ko ng tingin si Devon.

"Anong kanina? Kahapon pa 'yan." Sabi naman ni Daniel.

"Anong problema?" Tanong ni Devon.

"Wala 'to." Sagot ko nalang. We finished our lunch at umalis na din.

Nagpaalam kami sa isa't isa, dahil may kanya kanyang lakad ang tropa. Si Kendall, ayon susunduin daw si DJ Lou. Naks, lumal-love life. Sana lahat.

Si Dan naman, uuwi daw muna sa kanila kasi gustong matulog. He was really reading the contract when Noah gave it to him. Nireview niya ng husto at tiningnan kung may loophole ba.

Pinacheck pa niya sa lawyer ng Kuya niya.

I'm glad he's our manager.

Si Alexa, ewan ko. Sabi niya gusto niya munang maglibang kasi masaya siya. I'm really curious how Alexa is really cheerful.

Umalis na silang tatlo. Habang kami ni Devon nandito pa sa parking space sa labas ng restaurant.

"Hindi ka makikipag-date kay Sheira?" Tanong ko.
