I was never yours (s2)

Chapter 16

Not now

I just woke up with a big smile on my face. I just took a shower, brushed my teeth, went down and said hi to my parents and kuya with Celestina.

“So how's your sleep, Cel?” I asked Celeste.

“Uhm....” Napa tingin siya kay Kuya. “Okay lang naman, medyo nanibago.” Nahihiya n'yang sabi.

“Sorry about the room, it's.... not,” Hindi ko kayang tapusin yung sasabihin ko.

“What, Celine?” Tanong ni Kuya.

Tumayo ako sa kinauupuan, hindi pa ako nakakapag simulang kumain pero I need to run after I say these words.

“That room is not,” Tumakbo na ako bago sumigaw. “Soundproof, I heard Celeste's moans! Bye!”

I dash into my car and tell kuya Juan to go immediately. Sabi ko pa naman kay Celeste sabay kami papasok. Pero okay na yun, kay Kuya siya sumabay.

“What the hell is going on last night?” Tanong ko agad kay Sandy pag kakita ko sakanya sa Cafe. Hindi kami nag kita kanina pagka pasok ko.

“Celine, I don't know how he got your number on my phone. I had a party after I helped you.” Paliwanag niya.

“And?”

“And I'm just in the restroom. Tapos when came back, Arkin's calling you. He tells you that he misses you, sorry.”

“Well, dapat kasi hindi mo na lang iniwan yung phone mo. I don't know, why he said those words.” Inis kong sabi sakanya at umirap. I sit down in front of her.

“That's my mistake, sorry for once again.”

“It's okay. Let's eat, I'm starving.”

She looked away. “Look, that's Celeste.” Binitawan ko yung hawak kong tinidor.

I saw Celeste with Trisha. Again. She looked at my way and smiled. I smile back at her.

Nag kibit balikat na lang ako at bumalik ang tingin sa kinakain ko.

“Wait, look!” Sandy shouted and pointed into Celeste's way.

“No!” I went to them.

“Look who's here. Celeste's future sister in law. How does it feel that you have a sister in law like-”

“Don't say any words, Trish. Ang baho.” Pinutol ko siya sa pamamagitan ng sampal.

“How dear yo-”

“Slow down, bitch.” Jasmine cut her. Gaganti sana siya sakin. Sorry siya.

“Jas- Jasmine.”

“Go back to your mother, Trish. Pag boholin ko kayo ni Sasha eh.”

Trisha runaway. “I susumbong kita kay Dad.” Lumingon pa talaga siya para lang sabihin ang mga iyon.

“Oh, you mean.... my Dad?” Turo ni Jasmine sa sarili niya. “Of course you always do it. Go ahead, mag sumbong ka. Do whatever you want.”

I looked at Celeste. She's about to leave but I held her hand. “Wait, are you okay? I told you to stop hanging out with them.”

Sumunod na agad sila Irish kay Trish.

“I tried. Pero ayaw nila ako payagan na lumayo sakanila.” She looked down, in her hand.

I grab her left hand. “You can hang out with us.” Turo ko kay Jasmine at Sandy. Well Zia is not around anymore, kasi mas gusto nila Tito na mabantayan siya ng mabuti.
