💫: SHOOTING STARS

-----

"That was so stressing! Gusto mong tubig, Kly? Kukuha ako! Stay on the sofa okay?!" Xi shouted before leaving me on the door after we got into our condo.

Dahan-dahan akong umupo sa sofa at sinandal ang ulo ko sa headboard ng sofa. Xi was right. It was a very stressing moment for me. I don't know if Aiden and that girl are doing that for their movie. Napahilot tuloy ako sa sintido ko dahil sa inis.

"Señorita, water is here."

"Muchas gracias," I drink on it before facing her. She just knotted her forehead before I speak. "How the fuck Aiden do that to me, Xi?!" I almost shouted on her.

Binaba ni Xi ang baso niya sa center table bago ako hinarap. She took a deep sighed before she talk at me like she's a pro adviser of love guru.

"Alam mo Kly, wag kang padalos-dalos sa mga desisyon mo. Yes, you're feelings right now are valid. But always act responsibly. We are not teenager to act silly, but we're adult to face the truth." She held my hand before continue to speak.

"Kly, Aiden values the trust in your relationship and you know that, right?" I just silently nod on her as a response.

"Now, all you need to do is be calm despite of what's happening. Ask Aiden immediately if you have chance to do that. Also, you know yourself." She smiled at me.

I just silently uttered a yes before looking at her. I was thankful that she's here always. She acts like my big sister kahit magkasing-edad lang naman kami. I'm dreaming of that one, kaso di ko na alam kung nasaan naman na ang sinasabing kapatid ko. I hugged Xi as a token of gratitude. I heard her sighed before tapping my back like I'm a child. Kaagad din akong lumayo dahil naalala kong magluluto pa pala siya ng hapunan.

We talked a little bit before we decided to do our tasks. Walang nag-abalang buksan ang TV dahil alam naman namin na ganoon na nga ang magiging balita. I didn't open my socials too dahil alam kong same news lang din ang makikita ko. But I was eager to contact Aiden tonight.

I was pacing back and forth when my phone rings. Dali-dali kong tinakbo ang distansiya ng table ko para sagutin 'yon. Hoping that Aiden would call me. But he didn't. It was an unknown number.

"Hello?" I carefully asked on the phone. There's nothing I can hear from the other line. Kaagad kong tiningnan ang screen ng phone ko at nakitang nandoon pa naman siya? I sighed.

"If you don't have nothing to say, goodbye. I don't talk to some strangers." I was about to end the call when I remember something. "For the person who called me, who's that person who gives you my phone number without my consent? That's absurb!"

I ended the call and even blocked the caller. I stomped my feet all the way through my bed. I badly want to open my socials, but Xi advised me not to open. I sighed before facing myself on the ceiling.

"Aiden, contact me please..." I silently said, hoping that someone could hear me.
