Love or Friendship?

CHAPTER 10; Sorry

JACOB'S POV:
"ma'am principal, siya po ang unang umatake saakin"
ang sabi ko na nag mamakaawa kay principal
"YES, BECAUSE YOU ARE FLIRTING WITH MY GIRL"
ang sabi niyang galit na galit saakin
"enough"
ang sabi naman ni principal na parang galit na galit na sa mga nangyari the past few days
"NO I WAS NOT, WERE TOGETHER BECAUSE OF A PRESENTATION"
ang sabi ko naman, na walang may pake kahit anong mangyari saakin
mahal na mahal ko si Nadine
i'm not gonna cheat on her
"liar, her driver saw both of you cuddling in her car, on the way to her house, and you came in with her"
kumalma na siya habang sinasabi iyan
napatahimik ako ng sandali
and then i saw red
"I WAS THERE FOR A FUCKING SCHOOL PRESENTATION, WE WERE PARTNERS"
ang sabi ko na galit na galit na
"LANGUAGE!"
ang sabi saakin ni principal na galit na galit na rin
"what"
ang sabi naman ni Josh
"that driver was lying Josh, i would never cheat on Nadine, i love her so much"
ang sabi ko naman na kumalma na rin
"both of you are suspended for 2 weeks also, mag kaayusan na kayo
and then i'll think about if i should remove you both in your activities,
dismissed, and go home"
pag labas na pag labas namin sa principals office
agad naman nag sorry si Josh
"sorry, Jacob i'm very sorry please forgive me? i just love Kenzie so much"
ang sabi niya
i gave him a pat in the back
"i forgive you, halata naman na inlove na inlove ka sakanya, now let's fix our relationship with our girls, and let them
fix their friendship"
i'm glad na nag kaayos na kami

MARIE'S POV:
nakita ko na ngang palabas sila pareho sa principals office
nag usap pa sila nang sandali hanggang nag shake hands na nga sila
at lumapit sila saakin
"anong nangyari sa friendship nyo?"
ang tanong saakin ni Jacob
and then hindi ko na kaya
i saw kasi earlier yung text ni Chanel saakin
napaiyak ako habang nasa bathroom stall
i told them everything
kung bakit umalis na si Chanel
sinabi ko na inlove kaming tatlo sakanya
they were both shocked
"let's fix everything?"
ang sabi ni Josh
"yes, but right after school, iisipin ko pa kung ano sasabihin ko sakanila"
they just nod at umalis na sila
agad ko namang nilabas ang phone ko at inopen yung message ni Chanel
at nag reply na ako

TO:CHANEL
hey, it's okay
i forgive you my Chanel
i love you so so much
i miss you already
i thought you will be gone for just 2weeks not for years
i love you bestie
thankyou
stay safe there
i miss you already, my Chanel

Love, Marie

agad naman nang nag ring yung bell
at start na nga ng presentation namin kay ma'am Dela Cruz
kaya pumasok na ako sa classroom namin

JOSH'S POV:
after mga ilang oras nag kita nanaman kami ni Jacob
6:30PM na nga nung nag kita kami

since ilang months na nga rin kami ni Kenzie
alam ko ang password sa messages niya
kaya inopen namin iyon ni Jacob
kahit alam kong magagalit siya
that's the only way na malaman namin kung mag kikita ba sila ni Nad
nakita ko nga ang text message nila ni Nadine at binuksan ito
"mag kikita nga sila
malapit na cafè sa neighborhood ni Nad
7:00"
ang sabi ko habang naka tingin sa orasan sa car ni Jacob
"then let's go na"
7:45 na nga nung mga oras na iyon
pina start na nga ni Jacob yung car niya
at halos paliparin niya na rin
30 minutes away kami sa cafè kaya pinatakbo niya na ung car niya
sana hindi kami ma ticketan

NADINE'S POV:
hindi ko pa nga hinawakan yung phone ko after namin mag usap ni Kenzie

pag pasok ko sa loob ng cafè nakita ko siyang naka upo roon
umupo na nga rin ako sa harap niya
"hi..."
ang sabi niya
at ngumiti nga lang ako
"look, before i start explaining, nakita mo na ba yung text sayo ni Chanel?
earlier i got a text from her, saying she's sorry and she's leaving philippines na" ang sabi niya
sa mga oras na iyon parang gusto ko ng umiyak
oo galit ako kay Chanel
pero mahal na mahal ko siya
siya yung baby namin sa group

agad ko namang kinuha yung phone ko at binuksan ito
habang binabasa ko yung message niya from her dump account
i started crying
tumabi naman saakin si Kenzie para ihug at comfort ako

nang kumalma na ako nag start na rin ako mag reply sakanya

TO:CHANEL
hey, look i already forgive you, Chanel
i love you so so much
i miss you at i love you, bestie
ingat ka jan ah, when you need someone to talk to andidito ako
always here to support you, comfort you, makinig sa mga rants mo, at of course, love you
i love you madam
ingat ka jan

Love, Nadine

after i sent that message i looked at Kenzie and hugged her
"i'm very sorry kenzie"
"it's okay, look Jacob didn't cheat on you, i accidentally slept in his arms because i got so tired, we were heading at my house to make our presentation, he loves you so much, Nadine
he would give you everything you want
the earth, even the fucking stars
and yes i had feelings for him
but just for hours
and it was totally gone
when i received that phone call from Josh
i love Josh to bits and pieces
i would never hurt him
neither you
i would never hurt the love of my life
and my bestie
i love you okay? please let's fix everything"
i was stunned on what she said
gosh
i cried again
i cried so hard that the people on the cafè started looking and whispering at us
and then i hugged her

while i was hugging her a familiar voice spoke

"Nadine"
it was Jacob,
the fucking love of my life is here
