Sailed (GxG)

20: Gift

Marthae's Pov

I sighed once again and smiled bitterly. I decided turned off my phone and placed it on my nightstand before deciding to sleep.

It's already past midnight and my day passed without receiving any message from her and I was about to get drowned by my sleep because I felt my eyelids getting heavy, when my phone suddenly rang.

Dahil naingayan ako ay kinuha ko ito at i-ooff ko sana ulit nang biglang kumabog ang puso ko pagkatapos makita kung sino ang tumawag.

It's already 1am, why is she calling?

I shook my head, I don't want to expect too much. Baka napindot lang.

I cleared my throat before deciding to answer. What if importante diba?

"H-Hello?" I even stuttered, a part of me is nervous and excited at the same time.

I can't deny that I missed her so much. I miss hearing her voice. I miss everything about her.

Kung may kailangan talaga siya, hindi ako magdadalawang isip tulungan siya. Isasantabi ko muna ang tampo ko sa kan'ya kapag kailangan niya ng tulong ko.

But minutes have passed but I still haven't heard her voice. I checked if the call is still rolling and I laughed without any hint of humour when I saw that the call has already ended.

Tangina, umasa ulit ako. Mukhang napindot nga.

My heart suddenly felt heavy. Tears are now forming in my eyes. I'm such a loser weakling. Paiyak na sana ako nang magvibrate ang selpon ko.

Naman eh! Bumalik tuloy luha ko. Hindi ko sana ito papansinin pero dahil pinanganak talaga akong tanga ay chineck ko padin ito, umaasang si Zen..

Sarap mo ipokpok sa pader Mariel.

At ganoon nalang ang panlalaki ng mata ko nang makitang si Zen nga!

I didn't waste any time and immediately tap to see her message.

From Zen:

I'm here at your escape place.

My forehead knotted after seeing her message. Is she serious? At this hour, really?!

From Zen:

Can you come here?.. Please?:(

Is she drunk or something? What's with the emoticons at the end though. But still, I can't resist her. Even if she'll say 'please' or not, I'll still go where she is if she say so.

Hindi na ako nagbihis. I just grab my hoodie and went to the basement right away. I'm also wearing my pj's and since I was about to sleep I didn't wear anything underneat my top.

'Di bale na. Kaya nga din ako naghoodie diba.

I wasted no time and immediately flew my vehicle to where she is, as fast as I can but still careful.

Nang makarating sa lugar ay nagtaka ako kasi wala naman akong nakitang Zen, pero nakita ko ang kotse niya na nakaparada malapit sa gate kaya alam kong 'andito siya.

Madilim ang lugar at umaasa lang ako sa liwanag ng buwan. May ilaw sa loob ng escape place pero nagtaka ako nang hindi ito nakabukas.

Is she not scared? Bigla tuloy ako nainis. Bakit siya nagpunta dito at ganitong oras pa talaga.

If she want to talk about something, pwede namang bukas. It's dangerous to go out specially during dawn.

"Zen?" I called her from outside but I didn't heard any response.
