I Am You [COMPLETED]

Chapter 37

I just got on my room, thinking on what I just saw earlier.

I heaved a deep sigh.

I was forcing myself to stop thinking about them, yet, the scene earlier was hurting me that it's like a thousand of needles pricking me out, haunting the every pieces of me.

Napapatayo ako sa mula sa pagkakaupo ko sa kama nang maalala ang napag-usapan namin ni Cianne kaninang umaga. We have decided to stay in the pool area to talk about random things.

I walked towards the door and opened it. My eyes widened when some people immediately give me a hug as soon as I opened the door.

"Babe!" they all exclaimed.

Napaiyak ako nang makilala sila. They're my friends... my bestfriends way back in Manila.

"What are you all doing here? Pa'no niyo 'ko nahanap dito?" napapaiyak na sabi ko, pinapahiran ang luha.

They all chuckled.

"You think you can just hide from us?" ani Bea, nakangisi sa akin.

Pabiro akong napairap. "What hide are you talking about? Baka nakakalimutan niyong nagpaalam ako na magta-trabaho ako rito sa Batangas, nagbonding pa tayo bago ako pumunta rito."

Some of them were chuckling towards Bea, some were just shaking their heads.

"'Wag mo 'yang pansinin at nasobrahan sa pagka-oa. Tingnan mo, umiiyak 'yan habang papunta kami rito, hindi makapag-antay na makita ka," nakangiwing saad ni Chasty, ang tingin ay naroon kay Bea. She then looks at me. "Pero..." She trailed off. "Namiss kita!" she says before inching our gap and hugged me again.

Bea hissed. "Parang hindi ka rin umiyak nang umalis si Arya para magtrabaho rito!"

Napakalas sa yakap si Chasty at napapatingin kay Bea. "Parang ako lang ang umiyak, tayong lahat ang umiyak, oy, baka akala niyo!"

I chuckled at them, shaking my head. Kahit kailan, napakakulit nila.

"Tama na 'yan, napakakulit niyo," nakatawang sabi ko.

Napatigil naman sila sa pagsasagutan at masamang tiningnan ang isa't isa. Tatatlo na nga lang sila, nag-aaway pa.

"Pa'no niyo nga pala nalaman na nandito ako?" tanong ko sa kanila.

"I contacted Giana and asked for your whereabouts. She said she had told you to manage her resort for the mean time so we immediately drove here," Helena says, smiling at me. "We're just lucky enough that we have bumped into Simon in the beach area and he was the one who helped us locate you here."

Gumilid sila nang kaunti at doon ko lang napansin ang lalaking nakatayo sa may 'di kalayuan. He was standing there, his forehead knotted, probably confused on the situation right now.

Wait... why was he confused anyway?

"Simon! Come here!"

We all looked at the girl who shouted and saw it was Maureen. She was frustrated, her brows meet and feels like she would explode any minute from now.

Simon looked at me before heaving a deep sigh and walked towards his wife, Maureen.

Napapatingin ako kay Chasty nang mapasagitsit siya at napaungot-ungot. Mahina naman siyang tinapik ng dalawang kasama dahilan para mapatingin siya sa akin, naroon ang awa sa mga mata.

Bahagya akong napakunot-noo at napapaiwas ng tingin. Wait... they knew?

I smiled bitterly.

Masyado ba akong halata para malaman nilang inlove ako kay Simon kahit ngayon lang kami nagkita-kita ulit?
