Cocktails And Regrets (One-off Series #5)

Cocktails 3

KAKARATING ko lang mula sa airport. I spent my 25 days on vacation in Hawaii, just to forget that horrible incident happened to me.

I tried so hard to forget about it but it always pops in my head and gives me a constant misery. I loathe that woman, she made me felt uncertain and messed up my mind.

Hindi pa naman sana ako uuwi but my modeling agent called me na pinapadali yung pag-uwi ko to start my contract as a model sa isang sikat na agency sa bansa. It's gonna be my big break, I'm a known drag model and business woman.

Dumiretso kaagad ako sa building ng modeling company to sign the one-year deal contract exclusively para sa duration ng exposure ko.

Habang papalapit na ako sa premises ng company ay biglang uminit yung ulo ko dahil sa sasakyan na huminto, blocking my way. I shook my head and patiently waited for the person to move.

My eyes widened when I saw a familiar person na bumaba mula sa kotse. I literally saw her, kumurap-kurap ako to convince myself that I am not hallucinating.

It's her, it's Lowry.

Lalabas na sana ako to confront her but I stiffened when I saw a familiar douche guy who went out of the car and helped Lowry hand her baggage. Hindi lang dun natapos yun dahil hinalikan pa ni Arrhenius ang ulo ni Lowry. I even saw her smile, wtf!

I forgot that they are in a relationship. Mas lalong kumulo yung dugo ko not that I am jealous dahil kay Arrhenius---- WTF?! I don't like that guy anymore, he's an asshole.

Nung umalis na si Arrhenius ay nakangiti pa rin si Lowry at tinatanaw pa ang pag-alis ng sasakyan nito.

Shit. Hindi ko alam bakit ko yun ginawa pero agad kong pinihit ang busina na nagpatigalgal sa kaniya and made her let go of her baggage.

MAINIT pa rin yung ulo ko hanggang sa makapasok ako sa loob ng company. People greeted me as I entered but all I could express was a bitchy face. Bakit ba ako nagkakaganito? Right. Because of that girl, she ruined me.

"Hello, Miss Dence. It's nice to see you back," I guess he's Madam B, the owner of the modeling agency.

"Welcome back, Ma'am Dence." My manager greeted me. I looked around to see if nasa tabi lang ba si Lowry dahil alam kong pumasok rin siya dito sa loob.

"Get me some tea." I demanded. Umupo ako sa couch and a glint of hope popped in me nung makita ko yung bitbit na maleta at bag ni Lowry kanina na nasa gilid, that means she's here.

"I need to fix myself, where's the rest room?"

"Dito po, Ma'am Dence."

I NEED to fix myself bago ako magalit at bigwasan ang babaeng yun, she'll regret everything she did to me. Pinihit ko ang doorknob ng pinto ng restroom and I almost lost myself when I saw the woman I was looking for earlier.

She's real. My heart thumped fast and I don't know why it seems that the cold wall I built in my heart vanished in a snap. She's in front of me.

Naalala ko yung insidente kanina kaya bumalik yung galit sa sistema ko.

She's looking at me with a shock expression. Namumutla siya at parang stress siyang tignan, I even saw a sweat drip from her forehead.

Magsasalita na sana ako but I saw her collapsed, mabuti na lang at agad ko siyang nasalo. Damn it, what happened to her? I don't know what to do.

Hindi ko na alintana yung mga tao and I rushed to my car para dalhin siya sa hospital. Fuck.
