Unending Love

condo

The rest of my companions are very drunk. While only Manuel and I are sober because he is watching over Shaira, and I am prohibited from drinking.

"Ikaw na ang bahala kay shaira manuel."

I know he really likes Shaira, and I trust Manuel because he has loved Shaira since before pero inagawan siya ni sixto

I called Manong Edwin to pick us up and take us to our condo. Habang hinihintay si manong edwin na pansin kong si Ashley ay naka upo sa gilid na hilong hilo. I don't know where she lives, and Martha also didn't say which unit in the condo she is in. I helped her stand up and saw her flushed face, indicating that she was heavily affected by the alcohol they were drinking earlier.

Martha was picked up by her boyfriend, and Manuel had already taken Shaira home to his condo. Only I and Martha's friend were left, along with Cobb and Jemwel. I have no choice but to bring Ashley to my condo, and I can't just leave her here alone.

ako pa masisi if may nangyari sakanyang masama.

"Oh, fuck! bakit ba ang bigat mo? payat mo sana ang bigat mo naman." I said

"hahahahshs urrdd sook pretyyyashhk."

I am running out of patience because I can't understand what she is saying.

Ang sarap nito bitawan dito ngayon...

Manong Edwin arrived, and I asked for help to assist my two friends while I was struggling with the woman I am with now. Ang bigat!!!

On the way to my condo, I looked closely at Ashley's face. The exhaustion and the deep concern about a troubled past are evident in her eyes. Dahan dahan kong inilagay ang kaniyang ulo sa aking balikat.

When I arrived at my condo, I told Manong Edwin that they would be the ones to accompany my two friends, and I can manage to assist Ashley alone up to my condo. Para kaming lasing dalawang nag lalakad dahil pa tumba tumbang nag lalakad si Ashley while me carrying her.

Nasa elevator na ako at nasa pang 5th floor pa ang room ko.We are currently here in a luxurious condo in Manila. When I reached the 5th floor, I opened the door of my condo using my fingerprint, nahihirapan pa ako dahil natutumba si Ashley at hindi ito masyadong na babalanse ang kaniyang katawan.

When I opened the door, I laid her down on the bed and got a blanket and a change of clothes for her. Before dressing her, I got warm water and a towel to wipe her with. Drinain ko ang tubig sa towel na hawak ko at ipinunas ito sakaniyang ma among mukha. I slowly removed her clothes to dress her in clothes that she can sleep comfortably in.

Pag katapos ko siyang bihisan ay kinumotan ko ito para hindi ginawin at iniwang mag isa sa kabilang kwarto.

I WOKE up at seven o'clock in the morning I went out of my room and went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. Afterward, I thought of cooking chicken soup, nag luto ako ng chicken soup para na rin sa breakfast ko at kay ashley.

While I was cooking, I noticed that Ashley was already awake, she wouldn't look at me, and my condo was almost silent.

"How's your sleep?" I asked her.

"G-good naman uuwi na ako sorry sa abala."

I didn't let her leave without eating because it would be a waste of what I cooked if I didn't have someone to eat with, I only cooked breakfast again now since when I'm at home, Mom always cooks.

She could hardly look up and meet my eyes, almost looking down at the floor, I also noticed that she seemed somewhat distant from me and appeared nervous.

I bit my lower lip and took a deep breath. "Set here and eat first before you leave."

She had nothing to do but follow me and sit on the dining chair to eat with me, I put rice on her plate and served on the table the chicken soup.

I gave her a tablet of Advil Motrin because she drank a lot last night, and I know she still has a hangover today.

Nang matapos na kaming kumain iniligpit ko na ang pinagkainan namin at hinugasan ito lahat, ayaw ko siyang pagalawin lalo't sa tingin ko ay malala pa rin ang kaniyang hang over.

"rest your body, sumabay ka nalang sa akin pag alis." I told to her.

Tumango lang siya at umupo sa sofa habang nanonood ng tv. After I finished washing the dishes hinubad ko ang suot kong apron and gloves at nilagay ito sa tamang lagayan. Tinabihan ko siya sa sofa at binigyan ko ng isang chips dahil mamaya palang naman kami aalis I asked her where she lives so that we won't be silent in the condo.

"You live from?" biglang pag sasalita ko.

Bakas sa mukha niya ang kaba ngunit napalitan din ito nang saya ng makita niyang may maliit ma chips sa buhok ko. Inalis niya ang chips sa buhok ko at napatitig na lamang ako sa ginawa niya

"galing akong bicol." she answered my question

"ahh you look so familiar, kamukha mo kaibigan ko."

"talaga?"

"Yeah, kaso sa social media ko lang siya nakilala actually sa rp?"

"RPPPP????"

natulala ako at akmang isusubo ko na sana ang chips sa bibig ko nang sumigaw siya.

"minimize your voice ano ba nakakagulat ka naman."

"sorry, ano name niya?"

It asked for the name of the friend I was referring to; I don't know why it was interested in knowing this. Aside from having the same name, they also look alike. What if the two of them are just one? many foolish thoughts ang pumapasok sa isip ko pero kung titigan ko ang mukha niya ay mag kamukhang magkamukha sila.

"Asha her name is Asha Laurent"

When I mentioned the name of my friend to her, she just stared blankly at what I said. Tinapik tapik ko ang balikat niya dahil nasa pwesto pa rin siya at tulalang nakatitig sa akin.

"Hey! Did I say something wrong?"

"wala naman, ah mag s-shower na ako."

Tumango lang ako dahil sa sinasabi niya, na una na siyang mag shower dahil pag tapos niya ay ako ang susunod. Pumasok ako sa kwarto ko para kumuha ng damit sa closet at kinuhaan ko na rin si Ashley ng damit na kakasya sakaniya dahil nasa labahan pa rin ang damit na suot niya kagabi.

Ashley...
