Wasn't Meant To Be

Chapter 24

Errors Ahead

Stay away

*present day, after the day on prologue*

"So what are you feeling?"

Nasa ilalim kami ng mga puno ng niyog habang nag uumagahan enjoying college sem break with a breath taking view of Siargao's beautiful waters. Today's breakfast is fancy coffee, pancakes, pasta, some bread, veggies and fruits.

"I'm not so sure ate, I feel pissed off with how he is acting. Nag chat ako sa kaniya but wala siyang response, ni seen wala."

Umagang umaga gigil ako gosh.

"Well I think I know why."

Ate Andra said habang hinihimas ang taas ng nguso niya na para bang may bigote.

"You want him to make an action, don't you?" She raised her eyebrows.

"Gusto mo deretsuhin ka niya, if liligawan ka niya or what."

Damn she was very sure of what she is saying and I feel like tama nga siya. I'm so thankful I get free therapy from ate Andra, best cousin I say.

My blood is boiling especially when Pennie told me that Cassius was asking na if he's gonna court me will I say yes? Like who tf would ask that?! Kawawa ang best friend ko kagabi dahil siya sumasalo lahat ng init ng ulo ko. Why do I have to be in love with someone who's an ass in the first place. Yep I finally used the word "in love", because I am and I don't want to deny it anymore na this feeling isn't love.

"I don't know. But all I can say is kung gusto niya manligaw manligaw siya. Wag siyang umasa na oo ang sagot ko. What's the point of panliligaw if alam niyang oo na pala ang sagot ko. He should court me because he is ready to take the risk."

Yan ang huli kong minessage kay Pennie kagabi bago bumalik sa pagtulog.

Habanga patuloy sa pagkain panay bigay leksyon naman ang ate ko. Bagsak na ang aking mga balikat at nakasimangot habang ngumunguya samantalang si ate naman panay paliwanag sa kung ano man tumatakbo sa utak ko na parang psychic.

"Kung di mo kayang layuan yan si Cassius ako mismo kakausap dyan." Pagbabanta niya.

"He's been a jerk Lala, for many years pati yung the way he approaches you I don't like it he's a friendly user."

She pointed out.

"Aside from that napaka misleading ng actions niya towards you!" Diin pa nito.

"But the reason why hindi siya umamin ng direct kahapon ay dahil nahihiya siya sa mga pinag gagawa niya dati."

Matamlay kong sagot, hangang ngayon ba naman ipagtatanggol ko padin ito?

"Aba dapat lang mahiya siya, gago siya eh. He can't even give a good response sa mga CONFESSIONS mo dati."

I can feel ate's irritation for him. Her breathing is heavier and I am sure she's trying to control herself.

"Lala you are my baby. I don't want you hurting like this. Nag mumukha ka nang tanga." she pointed out. "Let me rephrase that. Ang tanga mo na." Both her hands pointed me at pinagpatuloy muli ang pagkain.

I sighed, I know that very well. Marupok ako pagdating kay Cassius Ferrer. Who is this guy ba kasi? What type of guy is he that makes my ate's blood boil at parang takuring umuusok ang kaniyang ilong?

Well he's a guy whom I liked for three years, his simple messages make me smile and my heart go merry go round, and in that three years all he did was pranked and used me. What type of prank? Well paulitulit niya lang naman akong pinrank na may gusto daw siya sa akin. There was a time he pranked me that sent me to a total heart break. I still remember the feeling, my heart was clenching bad and my tiny teardrops was warm as hell. That was his last prank because Pennie talked him out about it and we sorted things out.

"Did you know he was even proud saying that he was just using you that all he needed is load."

That's a core memory of my katangahan. Sandy and I chatted and she told me all of these. Cassius was such a great friend, he effortlessly made me laugh whenever were together and he makes me feel as if I am at the right place. I guess people really just change once they knew that you like them. But those acts didn't stop me to be friends with him or let's say magpakatanga. Today is probably the ugliest day of the year.

Bago paman umalis si ate Andra sa harapan ko she paused in front of me habang hawak ang upuan. "Do me a favor? Stay away from him. Walang maidududlot na mabuti yang lalaking yan sayo, believe me." Tyaka ako tinalikuran at tumungo sa cabin.
