Chapter 35

"It's worth a try.."

Nasa kabilang linya ang mga kaibigan kong mga chismosa sa buhay, I told them about Ian and I talked about. Gusto ko ng matinong advice mula sa kanila pero si Queen at Clever lang naman yung nagsasalita.

"Mahal mo pa ba?" Tanong na hindi ko alam kong ano ang isasagot ko, simpleng tanong pero hindi ko masagot ng maayos.

"Whenever he's with you ba nag rereact pa rin ba puso mo?" Dagdag pang tanong ni Clever sa akin.

Doon ako naging sigurado sa magiging sagot ko sa kanya, Kahit noong unang kita ko palang sa kanya nong bumalik na ako dito sa Pilipinas, nag react naman agad ang traydor kong puso matapos ko syang makita.

"Wala eh, mahal mo parin." Queen change her statement earlier, kung kanina ay nagtatanong, now she's already declaring it.

"Clever was right, Angel, wala naman sigurong mawawala kung susubukan mong muli." This time Sam finally spoke after a long time of silence behind Clever

"It's worth to try again, mahal mo pa and he said that he still love you right? Isipin mo, he never replaced you even if walang kasiguraduhan sa kanya na babalik ka pa sa kanya o hindi, maybe this is the purpose that you two meet again." Mahabang linya ni Jiselle, sa wakas nagsalita narin ang babae.

"What if he's just saying those words because he wants me to believe him again." Tanong ko sa kanya, I am sure of everything.

Masisisi ba nila ako kung ganyan ang pag-iisip ko, naranasan ko na yung sakit eh. Naranasan ko na yung sakit ng mga pangakong napako lamang na para bang inukit lang sa buhangin.

"Can you see how much he care for you? Can you feel his effort that he made for you? Hindi lang naman yung kasong hawak n'ya ang pinupuntahan n'ya sa building pati ikaw, nirarason nya lang yung kaso," Sunod-sunod na tanong ni Clever sa akin. "You told us that he help you to calm down many times already, wala s'yang naging reklamo sa lahat, wala kang narinig na kong ano man mula sa kanya. He stayed, he waited, he made an effort."

Nakikinig lang ako sa lahat ng pinagsasabi nila sa akin, they're talking about him but in both side. They're talking about his positive side that they like but they also talked about his negative side which is they don't like.

Gaya na lang ng ginawa n'ya sa akin, wala na akong reaksyon doon kasi alam ko na naman iyon. I know they hated him for such kind of decision but I already explained them about it.

"Subukan n'ya lang talagang saktan ka n'ya muli, makikita n'ya hinahanap n'ya." Queen words made me smile.

Nasa labas ako ng unit ko just to get my order galing sa isang sikat na restaurant, wala pa akong kain ng tanghalian. Wala akong pasok, linggo kaya and it's my rest day. I was smiling looking at the food inside the bag.

But as soon as I reached the floor where my room is located, nawala ang ngiti ko, my eyes landed on the back of the man who's walking away, he's walking so fast na hindi ko naabutan pa when I tried to follow him.

I dialed the number of Ian, Raiden have something important things to do, I don't want to disturb him. Mga kaibigan ko naman my sarili silang mundo ngayon.

"Hello, you missed me already?" Agad na bungad n'ya sa akin after he answered my call.

Mahina akong natawa sa kanya, boses nya palang pinapakalma na ako "Are you busy?"

Lakas loob kong kinuha ang box na nasa harapan ng unit ko, I know for sure that man was the in who left this box here again. Kung nakita ko lang talaga mukha non.

Natahimik ang kabilang linya ng ilang segundo, "Why? Do you need something?"

I heard someone on the background, babae but I think that's not Bea kasi kahit sa tawag makikilala ko sya. Maybe other girl. Mukhang busy, I think wrong timing ang pagtawag ko sa kanya.
