Bit of Sweet on Alcohol ✔️

Chapter 27

Cj's 

"Have you seen what you've done?!" I asked Angel after Abbygale left.

"So what? I don't give a fuck about your girlfriend. The only thing I need to do in here is to convince you--..."

"Eh ayoko nga!" Malakas na sigaw ko.

"Ga'no ba kahirap intindihin 'yung salitang 'yon? Ha?!" kasunod na sambit ko.

"Bakit ayaw mo? Because of that girl? Your girlfriend? Oh, come on Cj!"

"What?!"

Patuloy lang 'yung sigawan naming dalawa na parang walang ibang taong nakakarinig sa'min.

"Try to look at yourself now.. And compare it to the old Cj I used to love.."

"Used to love? tangina itikom mo nga 'yang bibig mo! Wala ng katotohanan 'yung mga pinagsasabi!"

"Yes. I used to love you. What happened to us the whole time isn't just about our family's company and yours. Somehow, there are genuine feelings related, my heart once beaten for you, Cj. Alam mo 'yan!"

"Well, then mine didn't. So don't you dare compare the old me to who am I now, cause you don't even know who am I before, at lalo naman kung sino ako ngayon!"

"See?... See what your girlfriend did? She turned you into a monster that all of us didn't expect you to become. All of yours was so much invested to your relationship. But what about hers? You're so much afraid to leave her behind but how about her? Is she afraid that you're going to leave her someday? Try to think of it, Cj. Not all the time, your girlfriend was in the right side, and tell her that she should learn to accept that."

"Who am I now does not have to with Abby. I choose to become like this, and I'm the one who's responsible in fixing my self. Before I leave, let me tell you this... When the person started saying no, 'wag n'yo nang pilitin. Ikaw nga nung iniwan mo 'ko, did I beg so much for you to stay? No."

I left her in there and try to look for Abby pero wala na s'ya ro'n. I called her for so many times but she didn't answered. Kahit 'yung mga texts at chats ko, ni-seen wala akong natanggap.

Abby's 

It's been 2 weeks, and we're still not talking to each other. "Abby!!" Tawag sa'kin ni Lola.

"Po..?" Pagresponde ko.

"May naghahanap sa'yo. Bumaba ka." Sagot naman n'ya.

Nang marinig ko 'yon ay agad na pumasok sa isipan ko si Cj, maybe he's here to check or to ask if I'm just fine after what happened. So I fixed my self and went downstairs. Nagmamadali pa 'kong bumaba dahil sabik na sabik na rin akong makita ulit s'ya.

"Shopee po..."

Parang nanginig 'yung tuhod ko nang marinig ko 'yon. Dahilan para mapahinto ako at maputol 'yung sabik na nararamdaman ko. "Magkano po ba?" Malatang saad ko.

"500 po..."

Habang inaabot ko 'yung parcel ay napatingin ako sa relo na bigay ni Cj sa'kin, napangiti ako nang maalala ko 'yung first kiss namin na medyo naging epic pa, pero masaya naman. Hahahahaha.

"Bakit ba ayaw mo manlang akong tawagan ha..?" Sambit ko habang nakatingin sa picture n'ya, "ayaw mo na ba sa'kin? O baka naman 'yung Angel na 'yon na 'yung gusto mo..? First love never dies? TAWAGAN MO NA KASI AKOOOO!!!" Pangungulit ko sa picture n'ya.

"Bahala ka... Kapag hindi mo 'yon ginawa..."

"Ano? Anong gagawin mo sa'kin?" Napabaling ako ng tingin sa may pinto nang kwarto ko nang marinig ko 'yon. Is this a miracle? He's here now... Tumayo ako mula sa pagkakahiga sa kama at agad ko s'yang nilapitan. "Akala ko-.." I'm about to say something but I stopped when he started hugging. I could feel his eagerness for me, and I also made him feel mine by hugging him back. He closed the door and we slowly walked to my bed.
