What. The. Fuck. Nanlalaki ang mata ni Tasha na nakatingin pa din sa screen ng phone niya matapos mabasa yung nangyari sa ig post ko.
He replied. Right? Hindi ako namamalikmata? Even Cia can't believe it happened. Magkausap yung dalawa na para bang isang malaking himala yung nangyari.
Kahit naman ako, never did I imagined that he'll reply to Sancho's crazy comment. I was shocked too.
The great Joaquin Enrique Ortega IV. Wow! May ig pala yung taong yun? Sa sobrang seryoso akala ko walang time for socmed eh. That was Tasha you still look so amazed by the fact that Ortega has an ig account and actually left a comment on my post.
That's true though. Mabibilang mo pang sa daliri kung ilang beses ngingiti or tatawa. He's serious like that. Studious and formal. Hindi nakakapagtaka kung bakit siya yung Valedictorian when we finished senior high.
It's been what, 4 or 5 years since the last time we saw him. When he left, wala na kaming nadinig o naging balita sa kanya. It's as if everything was blocked for us to know. No news at all like he never existed. Maybe because he came from a very wealthy family. Old money, Aceves- Ortega are on another level. Untouchable that's what they say.
Even Sancho and Rafael didn't know what happened to him after he left. Napag- uusapan noon pero kahit silang matalik na mga kaibigan, walang alam. But who knows, right? They're his bestfriends. Kahit mukhang posible mukha pa ring imposibleng wala silang alam. But we gave them the benefit of the doubt. So after we all talked about him for the last time years ago, we never opened any topic about him. It was like a taboo.
I wonder kung kailan ulit nag usap- usap itong tatlong to? Remember when they said that they don't know what happened? Tasha was sipping on her cocktail when she suddenly blurted that out. Curiosity is very evident in her voice.
Well, aren't we all?
What really happened, Ortega?
What went wrong?
