Haywire

chapter 13

"OMG! What happened to you?" tanong ni overly shocked Chicky.

"What? Wala naman." Vicky lied.

"Gahd! Vicks! Wag mo ko gawing tanga. Alam ko umiyak ka. Ano ba kasi nangyari dun sa loob ng theater?" she said as she entered Vicky's unit.

"Wala! Swear!" sabi ni Vicky. Ayaw niyang mag alala ang kanyang pinakamamahal na kaibigan.

"Ano ba Vicky?! Magkwento ka! May nangyaring di maganda sa inyo ni Max noh?" hula ni ever best friend Chicky.

"I'm calling the others." She announced.

"'WAG!" sabi ni Vicky habang hinawakan yung kamay ni Chicky.

"Ano sasabihin mo sa kanila?" She continued.

"Edi, sasabihin ko na nakita na kita at ayaw mong magkwento. Tapos papupuntahin ko sila dito para magkwento ka." sabi ni Chicky na nang-iinis pa.

"Sige na nga sasabihin ko na!" Vicky said as she sighed.

"Kasi ganito yun," she started as they both went to Vicky's room. "uhm... di ko kasi alam kung pano ko sisimulan. It's hard. Matagal ko rin kasi tinago eh."

"Teka si Max ba yan? Don't tell me..mahal mo si Max?!" hula ni Chicky. And Vicky just nodded.

"At kanina, while we were in the theater..he..he said that..that he..he found her.." Vicky was now starting to cry.

"Found who?" tanong ni Chicky na naguguluhan.

"He told me when we're still in our Senior gradball, he wanted to try stuff like partying, dating, and.." she trailed off.

"And? What?" Chicky said growing impatient.

"And falling in love. He told me in the theater that he found her. The one that he'll love. And it was Alana. Grabe. Umasa ako. Kasi when he said that he wanted to fall in love, he looked at me lovingly. Right then and there I wanted to let him know that I love him. Kaso alam ko kasi na..na we're just friends. Tapos ayun na. Nakita na niya yung hinahanap niya." She said as her tears fell down without permission.

"Oh my gosh! Vicky bakit di mo shinashare sakin yang mga problema mo? Why do you always keep it to yourself?" sabi ni Chicky as she hugged Vicky.

"I don't want you to laugh at me. All of you. Kasi alam ko naman na sasabihin niyo na umaasa lang ako sa maling tao. Ano naman magagawa ko, eh siya yung minahal ko."

"Alam ko na mali yung ginawa namin awhile ago. Akala namin he feels the same way like you do. We're sorry Vicky. Akala kasi ni Mark it'll help you two to reveal your feelings for each other. Instead, nakadagdag pa kami sa problema mo. I'm sorry." At binitawan si Vicky.

"Okay lang. At least, alam ko na. Di ba? Hindi na ko aasa pa. Grabe ansakit!!!!!" at umiyak pa lalo.

"Vicky. Alam ko mahirap pero try to forget him. Okay? It'll help lessen the pain." Comfort ni Chicky.

She just nodded. Alam naman niya na its true eh. It'll help lessen the pain. Then suddenly, her phone rang.

The name on the screen says..

Max

"Chicky, hindi ko alam kung kaya ko siyang sagutin." Sabi niya as she wiped her tears.

"Sagutin mo! Magdududa yan. I-speakerphone mo na lang." She said and reached for Vicky's phone and gave it to her.

"Go. Kaya mo yan!" sabi ni Chicky. Then Vicky pressed the green button.

"Hello?" sabi ni Vicky. "Max? Bakit ka tumawag?"
