Chapter 18 

Run Away

"Sorry talaga, dahil sa away ko ganito nangyayari sa'yo." 

I look at Kairi biting her lower lip and fidgeting with her fingers. I am not blaming her because of what happen because I know to myself na ginusto ko din naman ang ginawa ko. At the moment I feel like I suddenly come out of my cage kaya nagkaroon ako ng tapang na lumaban ng ganun bukod sa tama ng alak na nasa katawan ko. 

What happen make me feel that I should to what I know is right just to be there for everyone and at that moment ang alam ko lang ay ang ilayo ang babae na yun kay Kairi and stop her from hurting my friend. 

Lahat kaya kong ipagpalit, kahit madamay pa ang pangalan na meron ako magawa ko lang ang lahat wag mawalan ulit. 

"It's nothing, Kairi." I said and smile at her. 

Nandito siya sa condo ko at ngayon lang kami ulit nagkita matapos ng nangyari. Ilang araw na din kasi ang lumipas matapos ng nangyari at dahil nga din sa nangyari naurong yung release ng third single ko kaya walang tigil sa paghingi ng sorry si Kairi. 

"You work hard for that single." 

"Kung makapagsalita ka naman parang hindi na marerelease. Mauurong lang, Kairi." I said while laughing while she just pout her lips to me. 

I got busy clearing my name at ganun din ang agency because some people are saying that I am a war freak and I don't deserve that fame I am getting at meron din namang mas pinapaniwaalan na may matinding dahilan bakit ko nagawa yun. I already explain my side and now inaantay na lang namin na humupa yung issue at malinis talaga ang pangalan ko. Kairi also help and my friends too at ang laking tulong nun dahil yung babae talaga na bigla na lang sumugod sa'min ang naipit. 

She make everything worse, ang dami niyang sinasabi sa social media katulad na lang ng ako daw ang nag-umpisa talaga and she is just talking to Kairi because of her boyfriend at bigla ko na lang daw siyang sinabunutan. Iniiba niya ang storya and that make everything worse kaya tumulong na talaga ang mga kaibigan ko sa'kin to clear my name. 

"But, thank you, Zem. Thank you for protecting me." She said. 

"Always." 

When I finish settling everything doon ko lang nagawang irelease yung third single ko at saktong patapos na din naman yung second semester ko sa third year that is why I can focus on my work again. 

"Now, your name is cleared but that doesn't mean you will create a mess again." Oliver said. 

"Are you my manager? If I am not mistaken, Ate Ellaine is my manager." I said and roll my eyes at him making Tita Olivia laugh. 

"No, I just care for you, Ms. Ember." He said making me frown because he called me on my second name. 

"Kaya siguro, Irene is so frustrated having you as her manager. Now I know" I said and shrugged. 

I didn't stay long because Ate Ellaine said na bumaba na daw ako sa meeting room because she will let me meet someone. It must be the personal assistant they found for me. Bago ako makapasok ng meeting room someone called me.

"Do you see, Oli?" Irene asked. 

"Nasa taas." I said and point my fingers where that office of Tita Olivia is. 

She nod at me bago mabilis na nagpaalam at sumakay ng elevator paakyat. I just shrugged my shoulder even though I am worrying what is the problem. She is still on her school uniform at mukhang dito dumiretso.
