One Deep Love

Chapter 40

Luna's POV

Days past by and everyday it gets so boring inside my room but kio visits me every single day. Simula nung gabing iyon ay hindi ko na ulit siya nakita at kahit sina papa ay natanong ko na kung nasaan siya pero iniiwasan nila ang mga tanong ko tungkol sa lalaki na iyon. Even Kio is avoiding my questions about him so I guess it's useless to even try to bribe him just so he could answer my question.

It's just a simple thing! I was just trying to ask them about his name but they can't even tell me!

Ika-pitong araw ko na dito at sabi ni papa ay made-discharged na daw ako ngayong araw. I was happy to know about it because I don't like being stuck inside this horrible room for another day or two. Nasisikipan ako sa kwarto na ito kahit na malaki naman siya.

Sinubukan ko din na alalahanin siya pero sa kasamaang palad ay hindi ko talaga siya maalala. Sumasakit lang ang ulo ko kapag sinusubukan kong makaalala. Nakakainis naman kasi eh mas lalo tuloy akong nacu-curious sa lalaki na iyon dahil sa mga pinaggagawa nila.

Napatingin ako sa nurse na nagta-tanggal ng needle sa likod ng kamay ko at katatapos lang niya. Napa-buntong hininga tuloy ako. I feel so restless. Of course, who wouldn't be restless if you're thinking of just one person for a whole week?

Nagpa-salamat ako sa nurse at umalis na ito. Sakto namang pumasok si Kio at naglakad papunta sa akin pero inirapan ko lang siya. Hindi ako natutuwa sa kanila. Sobrang obvious na nila na tinatago nila sa akin ang tungkol sa pagka-tao ng estranghero na iyon. Gusto ko talagang mag-dabog simula nung nakaraang araw pa dahil doon pero pinigilan ko dahil baka may mangyari sa akin.

We promised to never keep secrets from each other but what are they doing?

They're keeping secrets from me. How ironic.

"Bakla, mag-bihis ka na daw sabi ni tito. Uuwi na tayo." Sabi niya sa akin pero hindi ko siya sinagot. Subalit kinuha ko lang ang selpon ko na nakalagay sa bedside table na katabi ng kama ko at binuksan iyon. Dumeretso ako sa messages dahil napansin ko na marami akong missed calls and messages.

What? How come I've got so many missed calls from jeremy and this unknown person?

Ah, right. In-off ko pala ang selpon ko habang nasa loob kami ng building dahil plano kong patakasin sila kasama nina papa at zeke. That's why I have so many unread messages and missed calls. But...Kaius?

Who's this?

Mabilis kong chineck ang messages niya at lahat ng mga nabasa ko ay may salitang 'baby' tapos 'I love you'. Ha? Kelan pa ako nagka-boyfriend? What the heck happened while I was out? Did someone touch my phone? But they can't open it. It needs my password and face pass in order for it to open.

From: My little devil
Hey, baby good morning. Don't forget to eat your lunch, okay?

To: My little devil
Of course, Kaius. You too. Say hi to zaire for me, alright? Tell her she can't be late for shopping later.

What the...? It's darn cringe! 'my little devil'? Did I give him this fucking nickname?! No way! I don't do cringe things!

"Hoy, anong ginagawa mo?" I pushed Kio's face away from my phone as I scroll down in our messages and I don't know what to fucking think!

From: My little devil
Where are you, athy? Look I'm sorry for hurting your feelings. Please tell me where you are.

From: My little devil
Damn it! Reply to my messages, athy! I'm fucking worried right now!

From: My little devil
Baby, please? Zendee didn't mean to say that to you. Come home now, please.

WHAT? Who is this man? How dare he disrespect me and call me names? Baby? Darn... That's a bit embarrassing. I'm an adult.... An ADULT not a freaking BABY.
