Run After Her

Calyx Kheifer Huscaro

"My god, Kheifer! Where have you been? Kanina pa kita hinahanap!" Bungad ni Vien sa akin pagkapasok na pagkapasok ko ng office ko.

Pero hindi ko nalang siya pinansin. I'm not in the mood to play games with her now.

"Kheifer? Ano ba! Answer me! Hindi mo ba alam na naghihintay ako dito? Hindi mo ba alam na nag-aalala ako sayo?" Pagalit na tanong pa niya.

"I didn't know that you should care, Viesheinna. Hindi kita secretary para sabihin ko sayo lahat nang pupuntahan ko." Wala sa, sa mood na sagot ko sakanya.

I don't want her to creep out.

"Kheifer, I have the rights to be worried and ask you quetions! Girlfriend mo 'ko, ano ba! What's happening to you? Hindi ka naman ganyan sakin kahapon, nung isang araw, kahit nung isang linggo, maski nung isang buwan. Anong nangyayari sayo ha?" I know that she's angry now, but I don't care. If she is angry, hindi lang siya yung galit ngayon. Pagod ako and ayokong magalit sakanya ngayon.

"Kheifer, siya ba? Siya ba yung sinasabi mo sakin? Siya ba yung kaibigan mo na niligawan mo pagkatapos ay iniwanan mo?" Takang tanong niya sakin.

I was a bit shocked pero hindi ko nalang ipinahalata sakanya.

"Oo." Simpleng sagot ko.

"Why, Kheifer? Do you realize now that you still like her? That you still love her? Hindi ba ginawa mo lang naman siyang rebound kasi mahal mo pa 'ko bago mo siya ligawan? Hindi ba gusto mo lang siyang saktan nun? Kheifer, hindi ba?!" Asar na ngang tanong niya sakin.

"Can you please shut up, Viesheinna. Tapos na yon? Bumalik na 'ko sayo, ano pa bang gusto mo?" Nagpipigil galit na tanong ko sakanya.

"Tell me you don't love her anymore. Tell me you love me." Nangingiyak na sabi niya sakin.

I love her. I do.

Lumapit ako sa kanya at niyakap ko siya. Doon ay nagsimula nang tumulo ang mga luha niya. "I don't love her anymore. You're the only girl I love, baby. I'm sorry for raising my voice. I love you." I kissed her forehead, while she's crying.

After a while, I asked Vien out on a dinner date which she immediately agreed on.

I picked the speed boat themed luxurious restaurant that my friend owns.

But, surprisingly pinagsasama talaga kami ng tadhana. I saw her sitting in the corner of the speed boat, while her hands are on the rails. I think mag-isa lang siya.

Kung hindi mo 'ko binasted kanina edi sana tayo magkasama ngayon, diba? HAHA

"Baby, what do you want here? Champagne or Wine?" Vien spoke.

"Anything will do, baby." I answered her with simple words and exchanged a simple smile with her.

I clicked the bell to give the waiter our order. But, it was very unexpected to see my bestfriend here.

"May I take your--Oh? Calyx? You're here pala. What do you guys want?" She asked, then I stated our order.

Sylvia authomatically nodded. Before speaking again. "She's with someone." Then, she left.

"Is that Kourtney?" Sabay turo ni Vien sa kinauupuan ng kaibigan ko.

I nodded. "So, she's with someone? Boyfriend?" Tanong niya sakin.

"I guess?" Hindi naman magboboyfriend yan.

"Why don't we invite her to join us? Double date!" Suggestion ni Vien sakin.
