A Love To Remember

Audrey's Pov

“Okay na?” tanong ni Chocol at agad akong nilapitan.

“Yes.” tipid kong sagot.

After finishing off everything, we wrapped up and it went good since nagkakasundo na kami ni Bada. Mas okay yung performance namin today kaysa the past few days.

Si Chocol naman, ayun nag-iisa naming audience and mukhang nagustuhan niya rin naman kaso minsan nagtatalo sila ni Bada na parang aso't pusa.

“Uuwi na kayo?” tanong ni Bada habang nagpupunas ng pawis niya.

“Ah oo, may date pa kasi kami.” instead na ako sumagot, si Chocol na yung nagsalita.

“Sino?”

“Kaming dalawa ni Audrey.”

“Sino nagtanong.” pilosopong sagot ni Bada.

“Alam mo—”

“Shh! Hindi ikaw gusto kong kausapin. Ikaw ba si Audrey ha?” Bada cut her off and bore her eyes on me.

“Bada?!” I called her name and she only smirked.

“Ikaw kasi gusto kong kausap, hindi siya.”

Please lang bakit naman parang bata 'tong mga nakapaligid saakin? Ayaw din magpatalo ni Chocol kaya mas lalong tumatagal asaran nila eh.

“We will go first and see you tomorrow.” paalam ko sakanya sabay tapik sa balikat niya.

“Ingat ka.” sabi ni Bada. Aba masyadong lumalakas loob neto ah bigla ba naman akong yakapin.

“Oo na.” I said, gently pushing her away.

“Tara na.” this time si Chocol na yung nagsalita at hinawakan ako sa kamay.

As she held my hand, Chocol carried all my things and we went outside while Bada was following behind us. I looked back at her and Bada was waving her hand. I did the same thing before I got inside the car.

“See you tomorrow!!!” sigaw ni Bada dahilan para magtinginan mga tao sa direksyon ko.

Kahit kailan talaga!!!! Instead na sagutin ko siya, tinanguan at kinawayan ko na lang ulit siya. Hinintay niyang makalayo muna kami bago siya bumalik sa loob ng studio niya.

“What happened between the two of you? Bakit parang okay na kayo?” tanong ni Chocol.

“I did what you told me to do. Ang sabi mo, keep her as a friend of mine so I did.”

“Ganun lang? Bakit ganun siya makaasta?”

“I don't know basta for me, she's just a friend. Siguro namiss lang niya friendship namin before kaya bumabawi.” I glanced at her.

“Hindi mo na ba siya gusto? Yung totoo, Audrey.” seryosong tanong niya saakin.

“Hindi na.”

“But your actions says otherwise.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“It seems like you still like her but you are just in denial. I saw how you look at her, how you steal a glances at her when she's not looking and how you smile when she always talk.” Chocol answered, her eyes were still on the road.

“That's not true! I never did those things.” I defended myself but Chocol only chuckled.

“Of course you wouldn't notice but Audrey, I saw it all. Kitang kita ko yung admiration mo sakanya but you keep acting tough, ayaw mo lang aminin kasi you are still mad and of course scared.”
