Girlfriend? For Hire! [BL]

Chapter 39

Wyatt's Point of View

Is this the karma they were referring to?

Bagsak ang aking balikat habang nakatayo sa harap ng pintuan ng unit ni Aiden. Kanina pa ako paulit-ulit na kumakatok ngunit walang nagbubukas ng pinto. Kanina ko pa rin tinatawag ng paulit-ulit ang pangalan niya ngunit walang sumasagot.

"Aiden? Please, talk to me! Open this door, please? Aiden!" I said while I kept on banging on the door with my fist.

"Hey, quiet down! Hindi soundproof ang mga pader dito!"

Napalingon ako sa nagsalita. Bakas ang inis sa kaniyang mukha pati na rin sa boses niya. Humingi na lamang ako ng paumanhin dahil sa pag-iingay na nagawa ko.

"Mr., may kailangan ka ba?"

Lumingon ako sa nagsalita. Isang babae naman ngayon ang nakapansin sa'kin. Mukhang galing siya sa Mall base sa mga plastic bags na dala niya.

"Uh... I... Do you happen to see the man who's living here?" I asked. At first, I was hesitant because he might not know Aiden, but in the end, I still asked because there is nothing to lose if I tried.

"Hmm..." She looked up as if thinking, "Sa pagkakaalala ko limang araw na walang tumutuloy d'yan. Hindi ba siya lumipat?"

"Oh..." Iyon lamang ang naisagot ko dahil hindi ko alam kung ano ang irereply sa sinabi niya. Totoo nga ba 'yong sinabi ni Regie?

"Mauna na ako, ha? Aayusin ko pa kasi itong mga pinamili ko," aniya niya habang nakangiti.

Ngumiti rin ako, "Sure. Thank you for the information."

"No problem," tugon niya bago tuluyang pumasok sa kaniyang unit.

Damn. Nauntog ko na lamang ang sariling ulo sa pintuan nang maalala ang usapan namin ni Regie kanina bago ako pumunta rito.

"If you're planning to go to Aiden, he's not there. You will never find him there."

"How are you so sure?" I smirked. "Wala naman na siyang ibang pupuntahan kun'di ro'n sa condo niya."

"That's what you knew," he said, putting his hands in his pockets."You didn't know that he flew to California 5 days ago because you're busy pushing him away and drowning yourself in alcohol."

Fuck it. Did he really leave the country? Did he really leave me? Bullshit! I know he can't live without me, so how? And why? Damn. Is he tired of waiting? Did I push him away too hard? Did he get tired of me? Fuck.

I sat on the floor and bent my knees, placed my elbow above the knees, and covered my face with my hands. I bit my lower lip to suppress my tears, but I couldn't. They came out, and I don't know how to stop them. I think they could not be stopped either.

I don't know how long I cried, how long I was sitting there, or when I fell asleep. I just woke up when someone shook my shoulder, and when I raised my head, I saw Agleen.

I tapped her hand away on my shoulder and asked, "What are you doing here? And how did you get here? How did you know I was here?"

"Hey, hey, calm down," she said, holding up her hands as if giving up. She sighed, "To answer your first question, I'm here to pick you up. Second, I get here by using my car. Lastly, I asked Ryan where you are and he told me that you might be in Aiden's unit, then I asked him for the address. Now, did I answer your questions?"

I rolled my eyes, "Go home." I commanded.

"What?" Bakas ang pagkagulat sa boses niya dahil sa sinabi ko. "Pagtapos kitang puntahan dito ay pauuwiin mo lang ako?"
