Untold Pain

Chapter 11

Jane's POV.

4:30pm ng hapon nung makauwi kami parehas ni Janella, hindi na ako nagpahatid sakanila dahil kaya ko naman mag isa magbyahe, besides she needs to go home before 6pm. She insisted that she will take me home but I am more stubborn than her.

We finished the interview and it goes smoothly as we want it to be. Ang last na gagawin nalang namin ay ang maging creative sa pag edit ng video namin, I don't know a lot about editing but Janella said that she was good at it so I do not need to worry about it.

It was tiring, I just felt tired after that interview. Maybe because I felt Ate Glaiza and Rhian's pain while talking about how much those people that is part of LGBTQ suffered.

Naranasan ko din yon, I felt really nervous, kahit alam kong matatanggap ako ng pamilya ko once na mag out ako sakanila pero kinakabahan pa din ako at that time. But I'm thankful kasi nun nag out ako sakanila they accepted me, they even supported my relationship with her.

I sighed as I opened my phone, tinignan ko yung gallery and I saw her. I still have a picture with her, I didn't delete it, I can't bring myself to delete this picture of us. This is the very first picture of us when we became a couple.

"Maine, you're happy there right?"

I regret it.

That night she said that her friend needed her. Ayoko syang payagan nun dahil malakas yung ulan, there was a typhoon that night. Delikado magdrive ng ganun but she insisted, she said that her friend needed her and I know how much she cares for that friend of hers.

(5 years ago.)

"Maine, hindi safe umalis ng ganto. Please just let her family pick her up." Pagpupumilit ko kay Maine, she was going to the bar because her friend is wasted there.

Malakas yung bagyo and honestly hindi safe magdrive ngayon, there is even an accident that happened 6 hours ago.

"Love, J needed me. Promise babalik din ako kaagad once I get her to their house." She took her purse as she turned her gaze on me. "Auntie and Uncle Marvin are stuck, nasiraan sila ng kotse and I won't let my friend stay there for another hour, bar is also a dangerous place. I won't let other people take advantage on her." She seriously said.

Kapag kaibigan nya talaga yung pinag uusapan walang nakakapigil sakanya, even me.

I don't know that friend of hers that she was always talking about. Nagse-set din naman kami ng date na magkita-kita ng dalawa nyang best friend but it was always cancelled for some reason and hanggang ngayon I still haven't met them.

"I'll be back. And tomorrow you will meet those two. And promise hindi na maka-cancel yon." She chuckled as she was about to walk outside but I held her hand and hug her.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko ginawa yon pero I feel something bad is gonna happen once I let her go, ayokong magkatotoo yon. But this feeling in my chest..

I pulled out the hug. "I'll come with you." She shook her head. "No, I wouldn't want you to see her wasted, first impression is important and I don't want her to get embarrassed." She smiled as she kissed my cheeks.

"Hey, it will be alright. I will be okay, babalik ako even before you know it." She gave me a reassuring smile that she always gives me when I feel uneasy.

"Besides, walang kasama dito si Zaijian and lola. Just stay here."

She's right, kung aalis ako walang kasama sila lola dito at baka mamaya bigla nanaman mag brown out dahil sa lakas ng ulan. Maine came here because she was worried about us, I even told her that we are okay but she insisted kahit napakalakas ng ulan and now she will leave even though the rain is pouring because of her friend.
