A Love To Remember

41.

Chocol's Pov

“I'm sorry pero wala, hindi na talaga kayang ipush yung plano. They already made up and wala na rin akong balak guluhin sila.” I explained to her but then again, she threw the pillows and started shouting.

“I TOLD YOU NA HADLANGAN MO DIBA?! BAKIT BA ANG TANGA TANGA MO!!” Iris said, throwing a fit and she looks like a different person.

“You are crossing the line, Iris. I won't tolerate—” before I could finish my words, she slapped me.

“Wala kang kwenta! Akala ko ba you are willing to do everything for me ha?” galit na galit niyang sabi.

I and Iris met at a club, in short we had one night stand. I couldn't forget her so I did everything para hanapin siya and I also wanted to know her more. When we met, sobrang bait niya kaya nagustuhan ko siya agad.

At first, everything was going well between us pero unti unti siyang nagbabago at pinapakita yung totoong siya. I was scared and worried at the same time but I stayed.

“Ginawa ko naman diba? I did everything at sinunod yung gusto mo pero wala, malabo talagang mangyari yung gusto mo.” sagot ko sakanya.

“Kasi hinayaan mo silang magkabalikan ulit! You fucking ruined my plans, Chocol!”

“Iris, stop it. I'm leaving.” akmang aalis na sana ako nang bigla niyang binato yung vase na ikinagulat ko.

“You are not going anywhere! You have to go with our plan and stick with Audrey!” sigaw ulit ni Iris.

“Why are you being like this? Hindi na kita kilala.”

“Huwag mong ibahin yung usapan! Go back there at bawiin mo si Audrey kay Bada.”

“You are insane.” sagot ko bago ko siya tuluyang iwanan. Hindi pa ako nakakalayo, naririnig ko nang nagsisisigaw siya sa kwarto niya.

Iris asked me to be with Audrey. Ni hindi ko nga kilala si Audrey pero ginawa ko pa rin yung gusto ni Iris kasi nga I like her at gusto kong patunayan sakanya na kaya kong gawin lahat for her.

It was a reckless decision—while I and Audrey spent a little time and day together, I got to know her and she's a genuine person. Iris always guide me on everything para makuha loob ni Audrey at tuluyan itong mailayo kay Bada.

Iris wanted me to take revenge for her and gusto niya ring mangyari na once mafall si Audrey saakin, iwanan ko ito para masaktan siya which is too much to handle.

I did like Iris pero ayokong makasakit ng inosenteng tao lalo na't wala naman ginawang kasalanan si Audrey saakin. I did everything pero wala, pagmamahalan pa rin nila ni Bada nagwagi so I'm happy for the two of them.

“COME BACK HERE!!!” pahabol na sigaw ni Iris pero hindi ko na siya nilingon ulit at naglakad palabas ng bahay niya.

Iris's Pov

I was inside my car, I've been following Audrey at dahil palpak si Chocol, ako na lang kikilos.

That damn girl disappeared and never came back to me. I need her help para magawa ko yung plano ko. I want to ruin Audrey's life and once na magawa ko yung plano ko, pwede na ulit kami ni Bada.

Si Audrey lang naman hadlang saaming dalawa and she needs to be gone forever if I want Bada back.

I've been trying to reach out Chocol para sana babaan yung pride ko at pabalikin siya pero no, she changed her number and blocked me on everything. I had to lie low for a few weeks at ang huling balita ko kay Bada is mukhang nagkakamabutihan na ulit sila ni Audrey.

I won't let that happen.

“Here she is.” bulong ko at agad pinaandar yung sasakyan nang makita kong patawid na si Audrey.

I sped up, my heart is pounding but I already made up my mind. If I can't have Bada, no one will including Audrey.

Binilisan ko pa lalo takbo ng sasakyan ko at nang malapit na ako sa direksyon ni Audrey, biglang sumulpot si Chocol at itinulak siya.

“CHOCOL!”  rinig kong sigaw ni Audrey at ako naman, nilagpasan sila.

“Fuck!” bulong ko at nilingon silang dalawa.

Napapalibutan sila ng mga tao at nakita ko ring umiiyak si Audrey habang ginigising si Chocol.

“No, no!!” pinaandar ko ulit yung sasakyan ko at tinakasan sila.

Bakit nandun si Chocol? Bakit niligtas niya si Audrey?! Did I kill Chocol? I fucked up!!! Ang plano ko, si Audrey yung babanggain ko pero biglang sumulpot si Chocol kaya siya yung nabangga ko.

No, I didn't kill anyone and it was not my fault...

Audrey's Pov

“Please wake up.” hawak hawak ko yung kamay ni Chocol habang papasok kami sa loob ng hospital.

She's unconscious and nasa stretcher siya. I called Riley and Bada para papuntahin sila. I don't know what happened, masyadong mabilis yung pangyayari. Nagulat na lang ako bigla niya akong itinulak habang siya, wala nang malay.

“Ma'am, you have to stay here and we will get back to you.” sabi nung nurse at hinarangan ako habang si Chocol dinala na nila sa emergency room.

“Please save her.” I begged and started to cry in front of her.

Habang nasa e.r si Chocol, nasa labas lang ako, umiiyak at naghihintay ng update sa sitwasyon niya.

“I'll be there in a bit, okay? Audrey, it's not your fault.”

“Bada, it's my fault. Ako dapat yung masasagasaan pero no, she saved me. Bada, I'm scared... Paano kung may mangyaring masama sakanya? Ako dapat yung nandun at hindi si—”

“Ssssh! Stop blaming yourself. Just wait for me, okay?”

“Please hurry up. Bada, I need you.”

Kung alam ko lang na ganito mangyayari, sana hindi na ako nagalit kay Chocol. I and Chocol met tonight kasi may aaminin daw siya at mayroon nga. Chocol knew Iris and she confessed everything about their plans.

Napag-utusan daw siya ni Iris para guluhin ako at dahil nakonsensya si Chocol, hindi na niya itinuloy nung nalaman niyang nagiging okay na kami ni Bada.

I was mad at her because I thought she was my friend pero it turns out na napag-utusan lang pala siya ni Iris. I was also mad kasi bakit? Bakit hinayaan niyang kontrolin siya ni Iris? I started yelling at her and left her. I didn't know na sinundan niya pala ako then ayun, nagulat na lang ako nakahiga na siya sa kalsada, duguan at walang malay.

“Audrey.” napalingon ako sa taong tumawag saakin.

While she was approaching me, I started running to her. Bada opened her arms as I threw myself into her.

“Bada..” I cried even harder. Para akong bata na nawawala at nagsusumbong sakanya.

“Sssh I'm here na and she's gonna be okay.” Bada said, calming me down and hugging me so tight.
