The Forbidden Love

Chapter 9

Hours later cheng arrived but she didn't say anything since she knew I already had enough from my manager. She just sat there with me while using her phone.

I heaved a sigh, I stop looking at my phone since it's all frustrating and infuriating to read about their wrong accusations.

Dylan didn't text me, I wonder if he knew about this. Hindi ko alam kung kaya ko ba siyang harapin ngayon, hindi ko nga magawang itext siya dahil nahihiya ako.

"Cheng, masama ba ginawa ko?"

"Nope, but it's part of your career. People watch every step you make since you're a public figure you should've taken care of that." Napayuko ako sa sinabi niya kaya naman hinawakan niya ang kamay ko, "Shen, mahirap 'tong pinasok mo. People will keep invading your privacy, ganon'n sila. Hahanapan ka nila ng ikakasira mo. Hindi lahat gusto ka pero hindi rin naman lahat ayaw ka."

Buong maghapon lang kaming nag-usap ni Cheng, for somewhat reason I find the comfort from her words. Ng sumapit yung gabi kinailangan na niyang umuwi, nagbilin lang siya na wag akong lumabas at maghintay sa text ng manager ko.

Kumain at nakaligo na ako lahat-lahat, nung nasa kama na ako hindi naman ako makatulog. I checked my phone, still no text from Dylan. For no reason I felt the loneliness, so I cried.

I was looking at my self in the mirror when I heard someone's knocking on my door. Hindi na ako nag-abala pa na mag-ayos since gabi naman na at pagod na ako.

When I open the door, to my surprise I saw him standing right in front of me, looking so tired and worried. It was Dylan, wearing black hoodie jacket at facemask.

"You okay?", Ayan palang sinasabi niya but I feel like breaking down again. Hindi na niya hinintay na magsalita ako, sinara niya yung pinto at agad akong niyakap.
