SEVENTEEN One Shot Compilation

One shot (1)

I am waiting in the restaurant for my boyfriend. Today is our third year anniversary. Ang call time namin is 8PM but it is already 8:30. I tried to call him multiple times but his phone was turned off. I released a deep sigh and placed the phone in my bag.

As I was about to leave, I saw a familiar figure coming. It's him. I smiled widely and waved at him. He saw me and walked closer to where I was. He sat down across from me. It's our anniversary but why does he look pissed?

"Happy anniversary, babe." I said.

"Yeah."

"Why are you so cold? Anniversary natin kaya. Parang hindi ka ata masaya?"

"You know what? I'm not in the mood so order fast and eat. I have to go somewhere."

"Is it related to your work?"

"Stop asking questions. It's irritating." He said.

"Oh, okay. By the way, I already ordered. They have the finest steak in this city. Na curious ako kaya dito kita pinapunt—"

He slammed the table with his hand that made the people around look at us. I quickly bowed my head to them to apologize.

"I'm sorry, my boyfriend is not in a good mood tonight. I hope you understand. Please, enjoy your meal."

I smiled awkwardly and looked at him.

"What's wrong with you?"

He smirked and placed his arm on the table as he leaned a bit.

"You."

"Me? Wala nga ako ginagawa sayo. I was telling you about this restaurant. Pag dating mo palang busangot ka na. Kung mainit ulo mo, wag mo ko idamay."

"Paano hindi iinit ulo ko, ang ingay-ingay mo. I just want a peaceful night pero ginugulo mo."

"So, ako na ang magulo ngayon?"

"Oo, ikaw. Kaya please, kung wala ka magandang sasabihin, keep your mouth shut."

I didn't talk back. I just let what he wants. We've been like this for the past years. I don't know what's gotten into him pero he changes every single day.

A couple of hours passed, and finally our food arrived. As we were eating, a dead cold silence surrounded us. Walang nag sasalita. Tanging kubyertos at ang pinggan ang maririnig mo. I placed down the utensils and looked at him.

"What are we going to do after this? Do you have any other plans?"

"Bingi ka ba o tanga? I said I'm going somewhere after this."

"Can you tell me where?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Ito nanaman ba tayo, Selene?"

"I am asking you nicely and I am expecting you to do the same." I said.

He dropped the utensils and wiped his mouth with the napkin. He stood up and left. I took some cash in my bag and placed it on the table and ran after him. Nang maabutan ko siya, I pulled him by his arm.

"Ano ba problema mo? Bakit ba ang init ng ulo mo? Wala naman ako matandaan na ginawa na masama o ikakagalit mo?"

"Alam mo anong problema? Ikaw! Ang laking sakit mo sa ulo at buhay ko. Wala ka na nga nagawang matino, nakakairita ka pa. Pwede ba? Tigilan mo muna ako?"

"This is not how it works, Vernon. If you want to solve the issue, we should talk about it. Hindi yung lalayasan mo lang ako."

"Ayoko na nga makipag usap sayo!! Ano ba mahirap intindihin dun? Alam mo, mas maigi na mag hiwalay nalang tayo. Ayoko na! Sawang-sawa na ako sa ugali mo."
