The Cloaked Truth Series #4: Where No One Sees

🦋 LV.

"Farah, you're...h-here!" Cerene said.

I know they are shocked because I finally showed up after a month of disappearance. I smiled weakly knowing this is the last time I will see them in person.

"Are you okay? I'm glad nakita kana rin namin!" Audrey hugged me.

"We should enjoy the event and let's not point the topic at me okay?" I shrugged it off with a laugh.

Sol smiled at me and embraced me so tight that I couldn't breathe anymore.

"It's okay, you'll be fine." She whispered.

But then it's not. The moment they got drunk, the topic came back to me. I didn't drink kasi I have a baby to take care of but of course, they didn't know about it so they kept saying mean things to me, about my disappearance in the middle of Audrey's case.

I cried in my insides. I just let them through sharp words at me.

"Why would you guys think that Farah is involved?? Are you guys crazy?" Sol defended me.

Inawat ko siya. But she wouldn't let me even let me speak. Nag talo sila ni Audrey because Sol, her best friend, is not siding with her. Nag walk out kami pareho, ready na umuwi.

"Sol-" habol ko.

"No, Farah! This is unacceptable kasi! You're our friend! And how could that be your fault?!" pasinghal niyang sabi.

She's drunk too. I sighed and grabbed the car keys in her hands. I will drive tonight.

"No! You will not drive, Farah Leonor! I can still drive for us, let me!"

Natawa ako kasi ang cute niya magalit. Mamimiss ko 'to.
