Chapter 44
I slumped onto one of the barstools in the kitchen, Blair leaning against the counter, both of us caught up in the whirlwind of emotions from what had just happened. The tension in the air was thick, and it felt like the walls of the kitchen were closing in on us. Blair broke the silence.
"What was that? Was it a kiss and make up thing?" Blair asked, her tone a mix of curiosity and concern. We were still in the kitchen, and Freya had hastily excused herself after Blair caught us kissing. Ramdam ko na yung awkwardness at pagkapahiya.
I took a deep breath before responding, "I don't know. We haven't talked yet. I'm not sure."
Blair, always straightforward, shot back, "Well, it looks like Hugo and Freya are done, but for the full 411, you gotta ask her yourself, d'ya get it?"
"Yeah, I should make things clear with her," I replied, uncertainty tainting my words. The situation was complicated, at kailangan ko ng kasagutan.
"You should, K. Sometimes gusto kitang iuntog sa pader para matauhan ka. She legit had you wrapped around her finger, no cap."
"Yeah, we should totally have a deep convo about 'us' one of these days," I agreed, realizing that avoidance wouldn't solve anything.
Our conversation was interrupted as we heard the others entering the kitchen, probably thirsty after their activities. They headed straight for the fridge to grab some drinks.
"Bakit di ka sumunod?" my sister Gianni asked, noticing my absence from the group. Irritated by her earlier invitation to Hugo, I couldn't help but scowl.
"Not feeling well," I replied curtly, halata ang inis sa boses ko.
"Anong nararamdaman mo? We got some meds in the cabinet, you know," she persisted, trying to be helpful.
"Nah. No need for that. I must take a rest. Excuse me," I stated, irritated, and stood up, walking away without waiting for her response. I didn't care if I seemed rude; I just needed some space.
I climbed the stairs to my room, shutting the door behind me. Naiinis pa rin ako tuwing naiisip ko ang pagkasira ng araw ko ngayon dahil sa ginawang pag iimbita ni ate Gianni kay Hugo. I couldn't shake off the irritation and anger bubbling within me. Maybe I had been harsh, but I couldn't bring myself to regret it.
Lying on my bed, I replayed the recent events in my mind. Yung biglaang paglitaw ni Miss Freya, the awkwardness that followed, and now the lingering uncertainty about the state of our relationship. It was a lot to process, and I needed time to collect my thoughts.
As I tried to relax, I couldn't help but think about Blair's words. Was Freya really manipulating me, having me wrapped around her finger? The doubt crept in, hindi ko maiwasang itanong sa sarili ko kung tama pa bang ipagpatuloy to.
The sound of a gentle knock on my door interrupted my thoughts. I sighed, not particularly in the mood for company, but I called out, "Come in."
Blair entered, her expression a mix of concern and understanding. She closed the door behind her and took a seat on the edge of my bed. We sat in silence for a moment, the weight of the unspoken words hanging in the air.
"K, you okay?" Blair finally broke the silence, her voice soft.
I sighed again, "I don't know, B. Everything's just so confusing right now."
