Trapped In His Melanchony

Yes, he finally DID IT

Napakabigat ng loob ni Addison at mangiyak ngiyak pa siya sa galit.

"Asked her for a date huh? Edi magsama sila"

Padabog niyang hinanda ang mga gamit na dadalhin niya sa contest mamaya at pupunta siyang mag-isa doon. Inspite of being in anger state, she has to stay firm to win it and earn the money. Para na yun sa charity.

Hanggang sa hindi na nga mapigilang tumulo ang mga luha niya. Sobrang naiinis talaga siya. Siya lang ba ang tangang mag-iisip na walang malisya lahat ng yun? Unang una, hindi man lang niya napansing magkalapit na pala ang loob ni Levi at Rico. They even got in the elevator together one time! Ganun ba siya ka insensitive upang hindi mapansin lahat yun? How could she trust that there's nothing wrong with it? Who knows? What if really one of them, he's into them?

That's why she asked, does she have the right to get jealous? What if at the end, he'll tell her to back off and not minding his own business.

"Addison, have you heard his explanation? Wag ka nga agad magpaniwala doon. Talk to him first" Warren suggested. Nag-aalala ito at tutuloy pa rin sa sasalihang contest kahit na masama ang loob.

"What for? Are reading their comments? None of them would say it was just an act. Ako lang ba ang delusional na kunwari okay lang yun?"

The unconvinced Warren scoffed and leaned on the wall. Napaka intrusive na ni Addi lately at madalas na itong nag o-overthink.

"Tutuloy ka pa rin? You want me to comr with you?"

"Ughh! I don't know. Di ko alam Warren. I can't....think properly."

"Then sit down." he instructed her and she submissively followed him. She sat on her bed na magkadikit ang kilay. "Grabe na yang selos mo ah." he tsked thrice and let out a short chuckle. "The main reason why you need to hear both sides to validate the truth. Unfair ka naman masyado kay Ackerman, Addi. Satingin mo ba talaga papatulan non ang ganyang mga klaseng babae?"

Hindi siya kumibo at natulala lang. He assured her mutilple times, but she's hesistant to listen to her thoughts. Baka nga napaka unreasonable niya but why? Why did he even allowed her to cling over him? And at Rico's case, why didn't he told her about he's sending her home too? And why is he even doing that? Bakit kailangan niya pa talagang ihatid ito? That's just so....absurd.

"Still, I don't want to talk to him yet. Can you respect me for that?"

After a deep sigh, Warren sat down next to her. "Of course, dear. Kailan ba kita pinilit ha? That was just an advice. It's still up to you kung susundin mo o hindi."

"Thanks.."

"Ano, ready ka na? Isang pindot na lang mag rerecord na to"

Hindi lang umimik si Levi at panah titig lang sa cellphone nito at baka magreply na si Addi sa mga texts niya.

They are in the meditation room and settled in a spot where she is visibly clear to watch by the people. This is Zeck's idea not to call the media dahil bawal na bawal sila sa building niya, so they came up with the plan of doing a facebook live instead.

"This is so hilarious. I have to look good, manonood ang girlfriend ko." Zeck pretended to fix his collar kaya si Deon ay natatawa rin dito.

"Gawin ko rin kaya to para surpresahin si Wyn?"

"Haha! Inggetero ka talaga. Anong gagawin mo magshashabu ka on air?"

"Fuck you, hindi ako customer mo baka ikaw."

"Inamo rin, si Kalani lang kinakabaliwan ko."

And both of them threw middle fingers to each other.

"Is that ready?" walang emosyong tanong ni Levi na nagpatigil sa pagiging isip bata ng dalawa.
