Chapter 65

Third Person's POV:

This time hindi alam ni Gwen paano pa lusutan ang tanong ni Sheena. Even though she's reminded how the younger will be felt betrayed sa any form of lying, for Gwen, this ain't the right time for her to reveal the significance of meeting Maya. Gwen does not want Sheena to take things the wrong way, now that she mentioned about her first love.

Sheena asked again.

Sheena: Gwen?

Gwen stuttered while answering.

Gwen: A-ano kasi. She's an old pal na kilala nila mom and dad. I-I just bumped into her then ayun she said she wanted to know how the country has been daw while waiting for the day to be over. So she asked nicely naman about some coffee and I don't wanna be rude declining someone. B-but please don't take it the wrong way. Isa pa, talagang naunanhan mo lang ako ng tampo kaya hindi na kita nasabihan agad right then and there. Tapos, ang coincidence diba, she knows pala yung bestfriend mo. What a small world. Don't you think?

Is that enough convincing for a white lie? Oh Gwen, I hope you won't regret this in the future. Bulong sa isip ni Gwen.

Sheena stared at Gwen who can't even look at her in the eyes.

Sheena: Hmm?

Gwen: W-what?

Sheena: Apakadefensive ng atake. For a nonchalant, andame mo pala nasasabi pag defensive ka ah. haha.

When Gwen heard her laugh, she was a bit relieved. She hopes that no follow up questions will be asked kasi hindi na rin niya kaya pang dagdagan ang pagsisinungaling niya.

Buti na lang Sheena did not add up more.

Sheena: Okay. I-I trust you. Kala ko talaga mixed signals ka e. Pinanghahawakan ko yung sinabi mo sakin na "Ako lang"..

Sheena was taken aback when a one warm hand cupped one side of the cheeks where its thumb was gently wiping as if there was a stain on her undereye, but it was actually a romantic move from the taller girl this made her look surprised and made an eye to eye contact with her before the other girl speaks.

Gwen: Ikaw lang naman talaga eh. S-sure nako-

Gwen wasn't finish yet with her sentence when Sheena cut her off and slowly taking her hand from her face.

Sandali!!!! Putek, yung borrowed heart ko fotakels. Bibigay ako tonight pag hindi ka pa tumigil. Hindi pa pwede. hahaha Pakipot na bulong ni Sheena sa sarili.

Sheena: W-wait lang haha. Kalmahan natin ng konti. M-may ikekwento din muna sana ako eh.

Gwen had some hints in her mind so she just curved a squick smile at the younger girl before getting back to her chin placing on top of her own knees.

Gwen: Go on. I'm all ears.

Sheena took a glance at the beauty of the stars and then started staring again at the bonfire while recalling her memories 5 years ago.

Sheena: Okay. Ready na ko ikwento to sayo. Since you have trusted naman the ferson about your painful past. Eto naman ang version ko.

Huminga muna ng malalim si Sheena bago muli magsimula ng kwento.

Sheena: Medyo summarized ko ng onti para di ka makasleep. haha. So ayun na nga. Tong OAT na kaharap mo ngayon ay second chance on life na.

Sheena took a glance of a quiet Gwen who's just also staring at the fire.

Wait I need to react a little, baka magtaka siya why I'm not shocked.- Bulong ni Gwen sa sarili.

Gwen: Wow.. How?
