"Oh, Shiarre, where are you going?" Tanong ni Enya. "Rehan, gonna borrow your fiancé tonight."
She wrapped her arms on mine when she entered the elevator. Natigilan ako sa sinabi nito dahil for sure, narinig iyon ni Dirv!
Pero ano naman kung narinig niya! As if it matters to him, Shiarre!
"Take care of my fiancé." Sagot ni Rehan dito. He even leaned closer to my ear, acting like he kissed my cheeks. "See you when I called this engagement off, I guess."
Nginiwian ko ito dahil sa huling binulong niya. He chuckled before looking at Enya.
Sa tagal namin, mabuti na lang at hindi pa kami napagsasarhan ng elevator. Pumasok na rin si Dirv at nasa corner ito, nakasandal. I can see his reflection.
"Bye," He even winked at me before leaving the elevator.
"Nag date kayo?" Tanong ni Enya.
I sighed, "Dinner lang."
"Date pa rin iyon, Shi!" Giit nito.
"Oo nalang."
Hindi ko maiwasang mailang, this is the closest and I feel like, the longest time too, that I saw him ever since we saw each other again.
Hindi naman ganito ang nararamdaman ko nung nagkasabay kami sa elevator sa hospital!
Maybe because I was shocked that time, kahit ngayon rin naman pero kasi, iba ngayon eh. He feels cold.
"Nag away na naman kayo?" Tanong ni Enya.
I licked my lips before going to the side of the elevator, doon sumandal. Napasunod siya sakin dahil nga nakakapit siya sa braso ko.
"No,"
"Ba't wala ka sa mood?" Nagtataka nitong tanong.
My brows furrowed, "I'm in the mood."
"Maniwala." She shrugged. "Parveen's waiting for me, ngayon ay us na."
"K,"
Kanina ay naiilang ako dahil ramdam na ramdam ko ang presensya ni Dirv pero ngayon ay dahil ramdam ko ang tingin nito.
And it's sharp, parang nanunusok. Mararamdaman mo kahit hindi ka nakatingin!
Nang bumukas ang elevator ay lumabas na kami. I had a deep sigh when I realized na hindi magkasama si Enya at Dirvin! Akala ko oo, that's gonna be chaotic here.
Knowing these two, they're gonna talk a lot about me lalo pa at matagal akong hindi nakipag kita! They're gonna bombard me with questions for sure!
And I don't want him to hear that.
I don't know why I'm scared that he'll know things about me. Siguro dahil natatakot akong mag iba ang tingin niya sakin. The Emiliana he knows is now so different from what I am today.
I'm more aware of things now and I'm not that literal thinker.
I also made friends!
Nang makarating sa table ay nandoon na nga si Parveen. She stood up and kissed me on the cheeks when she saw me.
"Finally, nandito ka! We asked you sa gc but you're not replying so akala ko hindi ka pupunta." Sabi nito.
"Kaya ata hindi nagseseen, busy sa fiancé niya. Nag date." Mapang asar na sabi ni Enya.
Napangiwi ako sa dalawa, they really think we're in a relationship! Eh arranged lang naman ito.
And please, can they stop teasing me about that guy, may girlfriend iyong tao!
