MGBF2: RETRIBUTION

CHAPTER 97

Ren's POV

"What the heck are you doing here?" pareho naming tanong ni Matthew nang pumasok si Blake sa kwarto.

"Brought this." sabi niya at itinaas ang Black Card ko. "Dinala ko na bago ka pa ipatapon ng Dad mo sa ibang bansa at iabandona." sabi niya pagkatapos ay hinagis ito sa akin.

Hindi ko alam kung mga kaibigan ko ba ang mga to o hindi eh. Ngayon pa talaga nila ako pagtutulungan kung kaylan heartbroken ako.

"So narinig ko sa pinakachismoso nating kaibigan na umalis si Vivian?" tanong niya at naupo sa sofa.

"I don't know." maiksing sagot ko.

"Bakit hindi mo sundan?" tanong ni Blake.

"Her dad doesn't know we're dating. Baka kung ano pang gawin sa kanya." pagpapaliwanag ko.

"So hahayaan mo nalang siya? And nagpaalam naman ba siya sayo na aalis? Kung saan magi stay? Saang bansa pupunta?" sunod sunod na tanong ni Matthew.

"All she said was goodbye. She didn't mention this once. Hindi manlang niya sinabi sakin na aalis siya. Sa halos araw araw naming magkasama hindi manlang niya nababanggit to. She just left all of a sudden." sabi ko at nagbuntong hininga.

"Kung bakit kasi sa dinami dami ng babae si Vivian pa, don't get me wrong she's pretty. Pero bakit si Vivian kung alam mong sobrang strict ng parents niya? And alam mong hindi gusto ng mga Sung and mga Morris dahil sa kompetisyon sa kumpanya."

"I don't even know why I am this hurt. But for sure one day I'll see her again. If I have to scour  the world to find her, I will."

"Ganyan ba ang nagagawa ng pagmamahal? I guess Matthew's right. Love makes you dumb."

"You both shut up." inis kong sagot.

"So bakit nga hindi mo sinasabi kay Kate na may girlfriend ka? Diba bestfriend mo?" tanong ni Matthew.

"She doesn't have to know everything about me, just like the gang. It's better this way."

"It would be better if she knows." sabi niya ulit.

"I don't want her getting involved in any of this. You know how dangerous it would be if she gets involved."

"Alam na din naman nila na bestfriend mo siya and walang pagkakaiba kung sasabihin mo sa kanya since she will get involved in this kahit anong pagtatago ang gawin mo." Matthew explained.

"Not now, wag muna. Let her live in peace, as much as possible. Tutal ako naman ang may hawak sa pinakamataas na posisyon sa loob." I answered.

"That is the point, you're the highest kaya ang mga itatarget nila ay yung mga malalapit sayo." he said again.

"Alam niyo, hindi ba pwedeng magapakabroken muna ako? Bakit ba kasi gang na naman yung pinag uusapan natin." inis kong sabi at pumikit.

"Anyways, Matthew where did you and Kate went after class last week? Nakita ko kayo sa mall ah." sabi ni Blake habang nakikinig lang ako na naka higa.

"Oh movie, she said she wanted to watch something in the movies kaya sinamahan ko since busy din yung aayain niya sana." that made me open my eyes at naupo.

"You're hanging out wit her?"

"Oo, bitch you're always busy with your girl kapag aayain ka niya. I don't know kung bakit best friends kayo. Halos maputol na yung dila ko kakasinungaling kung nasaan ka. Don't give me that dagger look baka ihampas ko sayo yang boteng hawak mo." inis niyang sabi.

"Ok... what the heck? I was just asking."

"Alam ko naman kung ano yung sasabihin mo." depensa niya.

Oh well ...he's right though.

We just talked about some random stuffs but I still can't brush my mind off sa pag alis ni Vivian and to think na hindi ko manlang siya matawagan. She didn't even explain this to me, she just left without saying anything but a goodbye.

//FEW WEEKS LATER//

"What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you being a whore now Ren?" inis na sabi ni Matthew pagkatapos niya akong hilaian palabas sa isang bar nang makita niyang may hinahalikan akong mga babae.

"I was just having fun." sagot ko naman.

"Having fun is not hooking up with different girls. I've been watching you getting in and out of the fucking bathroom with different girls Morris! Umayos ka! There is a party that you will be attending tomorrow." sabi niya at iniwan na ako doon.

Napaka kj talaga ng hayop na to kahit kaylan. I don't know kung bakit isa siya sa mga best friends ko. Ginagawa din naman niya itong ginagawa ko noon. I don't see what is wrong with what I am doing.

Wala na akong nagawa kundi ang umuwi dahil aattend kami ng party bukas which is a Yearly Bash, it is kind of a year end party.

I am currently at the party, walang mga hard drink since it is a school party. Well that is boring. I got here with AC she's with her friends.

"Kate looks cute in her outfit don't you think?" sabi ni Kurt out of nowhere. Napatingin naman ako sa kinaroroonan ni AC and yes, she does look good.

"She does." I shortly answered.

"Busy ka na naman sa cellphone mong hayop ka. Basagin ko yan." pagbabanta ni Blake ng makitang naka tingin na naman ako sa cellphone ko. I'm talking with someone.

"CR lang ako." sabi ko at pinatay ang cellphone. Hindi pa man ako nakaka alis ng hilain ako ni Matthew.

"That fucking face of yours will bleed kapag umalis ka. Alam ko kung ano na naman ang gagawin mo so stay here or else." sabi niya habang naka hawak sa braso ko.

"Is that Cindy?" tanong ni Kurt ng makitang papunta sa CR si Cindy and on her way ay tumingin sa amin. Agad naman silang nagtinginan sakin.

"What the fuck was that?" gulat na tanong ni Mike.

"What!?" tanong ko naman sa kanila?

"He's obviously gonna fuck her in there." bored na sagot ni Matthew.

How on hell did he know that? Yes, my excuse to go to the restroom was just an alibi for me to be able to hook up with Cindy. Cindy is just a random girl I found on a dating app and surprise surprise, she's studying in COA.

Hindi nalang ako umalis and stayed there. Minutes later ay lumapit si AC sa amin.

"Samahan niyo nga ako sa labas. Hihintayin ko lang yung sundo ko." sabi niya.

"Ako na maghahatid sayo." agd ko namang presinta.

"Yeah sure, tara na." agad niyang sagot.

Habang nasa sasakyan kami ay pareho lang kaming tahimik. Until I broke the silence with a question.

"Have you been hanging out with Matthew a lot lately?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"Not really, nagmomovie kami minsan. Busy ka din kasi and hindi ka naman mahilig sa romance movies. Isasama din yata siya ni Mama sa Beach next weekend."

"Eh ako? Hindi mo ba ako isasama?"

"Hindi ka ba busy? You can always come naman if you're not busy." sagot naman niya.

"AC I have a question."

"Siguraduhin mong may kabuluhan yang tanong mo ah kundi sasapakin kita."

"Am I attractive for you?" I said and take a glance at her. She doesn't need to stare.

"Hmm, I guess so. You have so many fans so I guess you're attractive." sagot naman niya.

"Are you not attracted to me in any way?" tanong ko ulit sa kanya.

"Nope." she shortly answered. "We're bestfriends." she added.
