Beyond The Universe

Chapter 20

Alas dos na ng madaling araw...

Marami ang nainom ni Michelle na alak. Nilunod talaga ang sarili nito sa alak dahil narin sa problema na kinakaharap ni Anntonia. Nasasaktan ito para sa babaeng mahal niya. Umuwi na ang ibang kaibigan nila. Si Max at Sampan magkasabay.

Tapos sila Michelle, Rhian at SamV naman ang magkasama. Hinatid sila ng boyfriend ni Rhian na si SamV sa bahay nila. Inalalayan nila si Michelle dahil hindi na ito makalakad ng maayos dahil sa kalasingan.

"Are we... are we home na wifey? Hey wifeyyy look at me!." saad nito kahit lasing na.

"Yes hon. We are home already." Tiis niyang sabi dito. Habang pinapanhik nila sa hagdan patungo sa kwarto nito.

"Thanks for dropping us by Boo. Ako na bahala dito. Ingat ka pauwi ha. I love you", paalam na humalik si Rhian kay SamV.

"Sige Boo, uwi na ako. I love you. Good night my Boo!" Humalik din ito at nagpaalam na.

Bumalik ang attention niya kay Michelle. Haizzztt ito na nga ba ang sinasabi ko sayo Deedee eh. Kayanin mo to umibig ka kasi. Sa isip niya. At binihisan niya ito ng pampatulog para comfortable itong matulog kahit paano at gaano pa ito kalasing.

May mahina itong sinasabi, "Mommyy.... mommyyy I love yoouuu.. Mommyy.." Napapailing nalang siya sa narinig mula kay Michelle.

"Goodnight hon. Matulog ka ng mahimbing." Sabay kinumutan ito at hinalikan sa noon tsaka siya lumabas ng kwarto nito.

Rhian's POV:

Naawa siya kay Michelle sa sitwasyon ngayon. Bakit pa kasi umibig sa may boyfriend na. Hindi pa talaga sa single, walang sabit. Wala sanang problema ngayon... Alam niya ang kaibigan niya pagdating sa pagmamahal binibigay at ginagawa talaga lahat. Pinakamatagal nitong nakarelasyon is 3 years sa babae school days palang sabi nito sa kanya noon alam na nito na bisexual ang sarili.

May recent relationship ito pero di naman tumatagal months lang wala na, ni hindi nga matawag na exclusive relationship ang mga iyon eh. Huli nitong nakarelasyon that was 2021, nag try sa lalaki pero sabi pa niya di niya type. After noon, di na niya nabalitaan ang lovelife nito kasi nabusy na sa career ng magsimulang magshowbiz at modelo. Ang boyish noon, girlalosh na ngayon pero pusong lalaki pa rin. I respect her so much for that.

Marami nga nagtatanong kung nainlove ba kami sa isa't isa pero lagi nilang sinasabi ni Michelle na between me and her is like best friends/sisterhood lang talaga ang turingan namin. Nagsimula ito noong pandemic time 2019. Nagkasundo kami sa isa't isa kaya ayon tumira sa iisang bahay. Bihira lang ang ganitong klaseng mga kaibigan tulad ni Michelle. Napakalambing at napakaprotective niyang kaibigan sa akin at sa iba pa naming bffs. Napangiti nalang siyang maalala ang pagiging magkaibigan nila ni Michelle. At nakatulog na rin ng tuluyan si Rhian.

Kinabukasan....

Anntonia's POV:
She woke up 6:00 AM and took her phone. She saw lots of missed calls and messages coming from Michelle.

Fr: Michelle
Are you ok mommy? I already saw the news. It was trending.

Is everything all right mommy? Where are you now?

Please talk to me mommy..

Please answer my call I wanna hear you and know if you are ok.

Mommy, I'm going crazy already thinking of you....Please reply...

Mommy, please do always remember I love you so much and I'm just here if you are ready to talk to me...

Please, can you atleast say HI for your daddy....

If you are hurting right now mommy, I am also.... I love you. Talk pls.... Don't do this to me pls..

She closed her eyes after reading all those texts from her. I want to cry out loud. In her mind saying, be strong and have patience for me Dadee. I know Michelle is hurting and worrying right now but I hope she can endure the pain as of now. I have to avoid her from this moment and onwards so her name will not be involved and no malicious comments about her from the social media. That's why I'm doing this for her and us. Her deep thoughts were interrupted when her PA texted her that time.

"Miss Ann good morning, your early statement to the press will be on 9 AM," her PA said.

"Morning, don't worry I will be ready before the time", she replied back to her PA.

As she continue browsing her social media accounts. She saw trending posts from Michelle yesterday. So she again with Sampan attending the premiere night of Rhian's movie.. with the hashtag #PanDee. Oh we have a hashtag too for everybody to know #PorDee she sighted in her thoughts. Another video involving #RhiMich, Michelle is carrying Rhian like a bride for honeymoon. They look happy in that video. Oh ofcourse that's her wifey. So many bff girls ha. Hmmmm... while me her suffering from everything I did last night. But I don't blame her. It was really my decision. It's final an irrevocable. Atleast seeing Michelle happy makes me happy also.

I stood up from bed and grabbed my towel so I can take a bath now. As soon as I'm done bathing, I will get dressed and have my breakfast ordered. I'm already done and ready to face the world again.

My public statement will be held at the lobby of the hotel I'm staying now. The place is surrounded with lots of reporters and cameras who are very busy talking and dying to hear my statement about last night. As we arrived in the stage, everyone was so quiet. Cameras are flashing everywhere. Videos are on going waiting for me to speak up. So I began to speak...

"Good morning everyone, I will not deny or refute what just happen to me and Mr. Fandi last night in a restaurant. We already broke up and I, myself decided not to have a relationship with him anymore the reason is for my personal matters only. Give us both peace in times like this in our lives. I hope you respect that. No one is involved about our break up. No one to drag names here. No one to blame. Again, respect that. I know not only me experience this kind of situation. You already did have it in your lives also. And you have just realized things that are not working and gone anymore as time passes by. Let's just have respect, love and kindness everyone even in our own selves. Thank you and have a nice day everyone!", she said it seriously and stoop up to exit from the crowd. Her PA also followed ger directly and went back to her room. Noises are back everywhere after her statement. And she don't mind it.

When they were about to enter on her room, she got a text from Irfan.

Fr: Irfan
Easy for you to say huh! As I said last night, I'm not over with you yet Ann!. So be ready what I'm planning to do.

She froze for a moment after ready those meaningful words from him. Why can't he just accept and understand it?. Am I going to block him so he could stop communicating to her anymore?. Her PA noticed her reaction.

"Is everything ok Miss Ann?", asked by her.

"It's him. But it's ok I can handle this", she said and took a deep sight out of it. And to change the topic, she asked her PA. "What time is my next schedule?"

"Let me check on my notes, hmmm.. it will be on 1 PM onwards pictorials, guest shows, and last will be dinner exclusively with your family. Your brother just arrived this morning and he arranged it for tonight", stated by her PA.

She just nodded ,"Well, I guess I will be very busy again. That's good enough. So my brother went home. Good to hear. And thank you. You can rest first and so do I while waiting for the time", she said to her PA.

"Ok Miss Anne, I'll be in my room. If you need anything just call me ok." Then her PA smiled and went outside of her room now.

She is alone now in this empty room....She went to look something on her things and she found it. The cap and the robe that I have in Mexico it reminds me of Michelle. Thinking of it there is heaviness in her heart...I hope she is doing just fine... She place it beside her bed and plan to sleep again having it beside her.. I miss everything about her.... She falls asleep with her deep thoughts about her on it.
