CHAPTER 8

Chapter Eight

He Who Must Not Be Named

"I saw him." Iyon ang bungad ko kay Matthaios nang tawagan niya ako habang nagkakape ako sa balcony kinabukasan.

I missed the free breakfast. Kahit na punong-puno kasi ng alak ang sistema ko ay hindi ako pinatulog ng mga nangyari kahapon. Ilang oras mula nang iwan ako ni Toine at malamang nakilala niya ako at sinakyan lang ang lahat ng mga kasinungalingan ko ay hindi na ako natigil sa kakapaikot-ikot sa aking kama.

"Who?"

"You know who, Matt."

His line went silent for seconds.

"He who cannot be named?"

"Yes and it was not Voldemort."

"Fuck, Lacey."

"Fucking-fuck." I answered, agreeing to him.

Napahilot na ako sa aking sintido. The hangover was killing me twice today.

"How? What happened?"

I told him what happened from the start. Simula sa unang beses na nakita ko siya hanggang sa makilala niya ako.

"Why did you assume na hindi ka niya makikilala? You haven't had any surgeries done. If may pagbabago man you just became more fit and that's all. Every changes in you comes from within. You became wiser and stronger so hindi ko maintindihan bakit nakalimutan mong maging matalino sa muling pagkikita n'yo."

Natulala ako sa hawak kong kape. "I know right. I just thought... I never made an impact on him. Alam mo naman. I'm just one of the girls he's been with at wala rin kaming malalim na naging relasyon bukod sa... you know."

"Is he still there?"

"I don't know. Nabanggit niyang aalis na siya pero hindi sigurado."

"What are you going to do now? Bakit kasi hindi ka pa bumalik sa Coastal Rock?"

"There's a reason why I'm here and you know that."

"I also know that you're putting everything at risk in staying there and possibly reconnecting with him again."

"Hindi naman na mauulit 'yon. It was just a coincidence and nothing else."

"Paano mo nasabi?"

"Because I will not let myself be near him again. Ako na ang iiwas bago pa kami muling makapag-usap."

"He knows your room number. Paano kung puntahan ka niya ngayon?"

Napatalon ako't hindi nakapagsalita nang marinig ang door bell. I cursed at Matt.

"See?"

"You're overreacting! I order a room service. Nagugutom na ako."

Nagmamadali na akong tumayo para buksan ang pintuan pero ang lahat ng inihanda kong ngiti para sa staff ng hotel ay madaling napawi at napalitan ng pagkabigla at kaba matapos makitang hindi iyon ang order kong pagkain kung hindi si Toine!

"Am I right? Is it him, Lacey?" Matt asked on the other line.

Imbes na sagutin ay lutang kong ibinaba ang tawag at mabilisang inayos ang sarili.

Damn it! I look like a mess while he look like a God waiting to be praised!

"T-Toine..."

"Are you free today?" He blurted.

"W-what?"

"Nakapagpahinga ka ba?" He asked instead.

"Y-yeah, yeah! What are you doing here?" Niyakap ko na ang sarili dahil asiwang-asiwa ako.
