Azel

I'm not in the fvcking mood right now. Nakakunot ang noo kong umorder ng kape. Ilang araw na kong ganito simula nang ihatid ko si Rainne sa bahay niya at nakita ko 'don ang lalaking dapat papakasalan ni Maureen.

That asshole went missing during the commotion yesterday on their wedding. Maureen's still devastated and I bet she's either crying or stuck in her room. Napabuntong hininga ako at umupo sa bakanteng upuan.

Hindi ko maiwasang maawa sa pinsan ko. Nasusuka man ako na sabihin ito but it was her dream to be wed to that prick pero nagulo pa. Pirmahan nalang ang kulay at tapos na. and who ever created that prank on their wedding, I wished they just die. Manggugulo lang sa kasal pa ng pinsan, mga siraulong tarantado.

I almost chocked when I took a sip of my coffee.

Why is this sh!t so bitter? Sobrang black naman 'ata nito. Pwe!

"Azel?"

Pinunasan ko ng tissue ang bibig ko bago nag-angat ng tingin."Cindy. Fancy seeing you here." Tumayo ako at hinalikan siya sa pisngi.

"Likewise."

"Take a seat." Pinaghila ko siya upuan at umupo ako sa tapat. "Wow! You changed your hair." Nakangiting tanong ko. Her hair was still long but she's now brunette instead of blonde.

She smile seductively. "Yeah! I suddenly wanted a change."

"Well, it suits you."

"Thanks." She said and took a sip of her coffee. "So. Are you dating someone?" she casually said.

Mapait akong ngumiti. Am I dating someone? Ang totoo hindi ko alam. Yes we had casual sex and all. Some dinner and lunch for some time but I'm not sure if she and I are really dating. Parang mutual understanding lang or were we just flirting? Hindi ko alam.

I shrugged and sighed before taking a sip. "Hmmm. Complicated?"

"Yes, complicated." Bulong ko at tumingin sa labas ng bintana.

"Well. If you wanted a buddy..." mapang-akit niya sabi. Napatingin ako sa kamay niyang hinahaplos ang kamay ko. Tinanggal ko agad ang kamay ko.

"You're no fun anymore." She whined while pouting. "You're reaction says that you're into someone." Tumaas ang kilay niya at mapang-asar na ngumiti.

Umiling ako. "Where did you go? You suddenly disappeared."

"Oh, no no! Don't change the topic. So tell me."

I chuckled and looked at her straight. Talagang gusto niyang malaman ang tungkol 'don. Nakangiti sya at naghihintay. "She's very...hard to read. I'm not even sure what we are right now. Sometimes she's hot and into me. We flirt, make out and do more than that actually then in a snap, she's back to her cold self then disregard me just like that. Just like now."

Kumunot ang noo ko sa naisip. I kept on calling Rainne and she wouldn't answer. Tinawagan ko rin siya sa bahay pero sabi ng mga katulong, kahapon pa ng umaga ito hindi bumabalik. What if-fvck!

Pa'no kung magkasama sila? What if she went to the wedding and what if she was the one who did that fuss? Hindi naman siguro diba? Rainne wouldn't do that pero pa'no nga kung magkasama sila?

"Please don't tell me that it's Rainne." Seryosong sabi niya habang nakakunot ang noo.

"Why?"

Napasinghap ito at umiling. "I don't want to say this but Rainne is...trouble."
