Against The Fate

Chapter 2

Hindi ko talaga alam kung paano nangyari 'yon. I didn't send him that friend request! I swear, I never did!

Hindi makayanan ng pride ko na ako ang nagsend ng friend request. Did I accidentally click on it, while I was asleep?

I sighed. I fisted my hands and tried to hit him kahit malayo na siya. Naiinis ako.

Anyways, what's done is done. That's just a friend request. I don't need to ponder on such things because I have a lot of other things to care of.

Pagkauwi ko, bumagsak nalang ako sa kama. I hugged my pillow and immediately checked my phone. Usually, when I have a new friend, they are the ones who message me. Lalo na pag lalaki.

No new messages.

Hmm...

Pumunta ako sa facebook. I scrolled on my timeline. Natuloy pala sila sa dinner nila. Kasama nila si Emma at Ardie.

I continued to scrolling to not wallow on such things. Ano naman ngayon? Kale invited me but I chose to not go with them, because Lia might feel uncomfortable with me. Alam kong naiilang din siya dahil alam niya kung gaano kaclose ako kay Emma at Kale.

My hands stopped at a post. It's a picture of Gray with his niece. Mukhang kanina lang din kinuha dahil iyon ang suot niya.

Gray Castellano
Stay strong our princess. Mahal na mahal ka ni Tito Dad, ililibre mo pa kami sa una mong sweldo HAHA

It must be hard for them knowing that Grazielle is still young. Why is the world so cruel? Bakit sa lahat, bata pa ang tinamaan ng ganong sakit? She couldn't even enjoy her teenage life.

That's one of the reasons why I wanted to be a doctor. I want to prolong lives. I want to end other's suffering. It makes me feel like I fulfilled a life by helping others. Kung pwede nga lang, hindi na ako tumanggap ng bayad sa ginagawa ko ay gagawin ko.

I want to build my own affordable hospital someday. A hospital that offers good healthcare but at an affordable price. But considering the different factors that could make it possible? Mukhang imposible pa ito.

Prince:

Naks, mukhang may nagkakamabutihan ata? 🤭

I tsked. He even sent a screenshot. Sinasabi na nga ba at gagawing isyu ito.

Ako:

Are we close?

Prince:

Hindi, nasa QC ka nasa Makati ako.

I rolled my eyes. Napatigil ako. Paano kung alam ni Prince? He's Gray's best friend! Paano kung alam niyang may nangyari sa amin?!

Prince:

Kidding, Laticia! 🤪 Don't worry, you're in great hands. Masipag 'yang si Gray. Gwapo pa! It's about time na tumigil na siya kay Lia 😇

Kumunot ang noo ko.

He unsent the message. Sinend niya uli ito pero tinanggal niya ang part tungkol kay Lia.

Prince:

That's nothing, enjoy life with Gray! I'll support you guys 🥰

Pinatay ko na ang cellphone. Nabwibwisit na ako. So, totoo nga? He's affiliated with Lia. What if, he's Lia's ex? Kilala din kaya siya ni Kale?

Hindi imposible 'yon. All of them probably knew each other. Ako lang ang hindi nakikisama palagi kaya wala ako alam.
