SORRY, I LIED! (UNREVISED EDITION!)

Chapter 6

                        **ELISEL**

"My gosh, grabe!..." Rinig kong pailing-iling na bulalas ni Georgie while still scrolling his newsfeed on Facebook, bago bumaling sa'kin at sa katabi kong si Acckeya.

"...So bilis naman pala kumalat talaga ng news here, Elisel! Imagine, kalat na kalat na sa news ang mga nangyaring eksena kanina. And take note pa ha? In just 3 hours, the news already spread out! May namumuo na tuloy issue between you and that bastard. Tsk!"

I can sense the hate from Georgie's voice towards Zander, while talking. But, I'm used to it already, that's why I remained silent.

Sa bagay ay hindi ko naman talaga ito masisisi. We've been best of friends since I met him in L.A seven years ago up until now. That's why ever since he learned my situation, kung bakit ako nakipagsapalaran sa ibang bansa, at ang lahat lahat na mapapait na nangyari sa buhay ko, he then started to hate Zander that much.

"You said it right, Twin. Mabilis talagang kumalat ang balita dito noh. Especially that they're both multimillion businesspersons. Pagkakaguluhan talaga sila ng mga press. Tsk! Tsk!" I heard Acckeya commented na lalong nagpatahimik sa'kin.

Kanina pa natapos ang party at we're already here at our hotel suite. Kanina ko parin napatulog ang anak ko kahit medyo nagkaroon ito ng shock dahil sa nangyari. My daughter is still not used in here. Kaya naman hangga't maaari ay ayaw ko itong makasalamuha ng mga ibang tao.

'Really, Elisel? Hindi kaya ayaw mo lang talagang magkita silang dalawa ng daddy niya?'

I secretly shook my head sa biglaang isiping 'yon. I should not be afraid for that to happen.

Hindi ako dapat matakot sa possibility na magkita silang dalawa, especially now that they accidentally met again.

Una sa airport, and now, here in my hotel! I didn't imagined na sobra sobrang kaba pala ang mararamdaman ko kapag ako na mismo ang nakasaksi ng pagkikita nila.

I felt so much nervous while Zander is looking at me intently awhile ago. Also on how he looked at Zandy.

But, whenever I remembered his reaction nang malaman nitong anak ko si Elizandy makes me feel Angry. Na para bang he doesn't care about her.

Anyway, dont get me wrong. Alam ko na hindi naman nito alam ang totoo, pero I still felt sadness to the fact na dahil ako ang ina, he still doesn't care about my daughter.

And with that, I also realized na tama lang pala ang naging desisyon ko noon. Dahil kung nagkataon, baka wala ring maging pakialam si Zander sa anak ko. At iyon ang ayaw kong mangyari dahil isipin ko palang, para nang dinudurog ang puso ko sa sakit.

"But I'm still confused in one thing eh..." Acckeya continues.

"...Why is it they spread that kind of news, eh hindi mo pa naman na-m-meet si Mr. Buenaquentin in person right?" She asked.

Hindi ako sumagot. Nanatili lang akong tahimik sa isang tabi.

"Elisel, are you still with us? Hey girl!"

"Hoy Eli, tulaley ka na naman d'yan. Are you even listening ha?"

"W-what? Sorry! Pwedeng pakiulit guys?" Napakislot naman ako sa gulat ng bahagya akong tapikin sa balikat ni Acckeya. Siguro ay kanina pa sila salita ng salita pero hindi ko sila napapansin dahil sa malalim na iniisip ko kanina.

I didn't noticed that Im already lost in the moment.

"Hay naku, you're not listening nga." Georgie rolled his eyes bago napailing-iling.
