Sunsets and Broken Promises (SPADE Series #1)

Chapter 33

I have no intention of coming to the meeting place that Yuri texted me the other day, in fact, I don't even want to see her anymore after what happened to our first meet up at Empire Mall.

But I didn't expect her to persuade me for a week just so we can talk again about Kaizer. It's already been two weeks since she texted me about meeting up, and since I didn't show up she keep spamming me and tried approaching me in our University. Luckily, Lynn and Harry are always here beside me to tell her bodyguards off.

"Tara, Cyrena, ihatid kana namin sa parking lot. For sure andoon na naman alagad ni Yuri" sabi ni Lynn at hinintay pa talaga akong makalabas ng classroom namin.

I smiled at them. "Sorry, nadamay pa kayo sa problema ko"

Harry scoffs before putting his arms around my shoulder. "Bakit kasi hindi mo pa sabihin kay Kaizer? paniguradong titigil 'rin si Yuri kapag si Kaizer na mismo ang kumausap doon"

"Tanga ka ba o sadyang bobo ka lang?" tanong ni Lynn kay Harry. "May Internship nga si Kaizer this month diba? engot talaga neto"

"Mas engot ka!" Nag away ang dalawa sa gilid ko hanggang sa makarating kami sa parking lot.

February hanggang March 25 ang internship nila Kaizer sa Saint Luke's Medical Hospital kaya ayaw ko na siyang guluhin pa tungkol kay Yuri. Sabi pa nga ni Akari sa akin ay maraming mga surgeon ang humahanga sa boyfriend ko doon, kaya hindi na kami masiyadong nakakapag-usap these past few days, we are both busy with our own studies.

I don't want to depend on Kaizer about this mess, the best thing I should do is to solve this by myself, but I really don't think I can talk to her again. Yuri makes me so uncomfortable.

"Ms. Vanciello" Natigilan kami sa pag lalakad nila Lynn nang may tumawag sa akin. As expected, nandito na naman ang bodyguard ni Yuri para pilitin akong sumama sakanila at makipag-usap sa kanilang amo.

"It's Ms. Santiago" Lynn corrected him, but this guy didn't even glanced at my friend.

Lumapit sa amin ang lalaki kaya agad itong pinatigil ni Harry bago pa man ito makalapit. "You guys have been pestering my friend these past few days, should we file a restraining order?" tanong ni Harry sa lalaking napatingin sa akin.

"Gusto po kayong makausap ni Ma'am Yuri--"

"Ayaw nga niya. Ano bang kailangan niyo sa kaibigan ko?" inis na tanong ni Yuri at hinawakan nang mahigpit ang kamay ko.

"Kahit sampung minuto lang po"

Harry clicked his tongue. "Guards! Guards!" he called, which caught the students attention. Nataranta naman yung lalaki at napalayo sa amin.

"Calling the guards is a bit too much, Alfonso" Napalingon kaming apat sa babaeng naka-pulang damit, dahilan para mas mag mukha itong maganda at maputi. Yuri looks so innocent. . . too innocent to be exact.

Inatras ako ni Lynn, habang si Harry ay pumunta sa harapan ko para hindi ako malapitan agad ni Yuri na napataas ang kilay sa ginawa neto.

"I'm not going to bite your friend" she laughed. "We're friends naman diba, Rene?" Yuri asked sweetly.

Naiyukom ko ang kamao ko dahil sa tinawag niya sa akin. The way she addressed me is only for people who are close to me. Si Kaizer at Mama lang ang tumatawag sa akin 'non at hindi ko inaasahan na tatawagin ako ni Yuri gamit ang 'Rene'
