The next morning, we already decided to go home to Liathro dahil wala naman na kaming gagawin dito at umuwi na rin 'yong mga relatives nila last night.
At isa pa, isang linggo na ring sarado 'yong Deep Sea dahil nasa Ilocos Norte kaming lahat at namimiss na raw ni Wren 'yon. Pero naiwan muna si Wolf dahil kadarating niya lang kahapon at ayaw siyang paalisin ng Ate nila kaya sa amin sumabay si Keisha pauwi.
Mabuti nalang dahil napagod siya kakadaldal kahapon kaya sa buong biyahe namin ay tulog siya dahil kung hindi ay siguradong nabingi na ako sa kaingayan nila ni Wren.
She just woke up when we arrived at Deep Sea dahil doon namin napagkasunduang pumunta muna.
"I'll call Tonyo to pick me up," she informed us—yawning and walking away.
She still has jet lag because she didn't rest yesterday; she chose to spend her time chatting with Ate Winona.
I took a seat on the bar stool while Wren turned on all of the aircons to cool the room before going inside the bar.
"Open." I handed him my bottle because since I broke my wrist, it lost its strength.
He uncapped it nang walang kahirap-hirap kaya mas nainis ako dahil hindi ko magawa 'yon. I swear, once I see Chloe, leeg niya ang babaliin ko.
This injury was threatening my career. Kung hindi ako gumaling, I might not be able to dance or paint ever again and it was scaring me.
I can't handle losing everything.
My thoughts were upsetting me so I looked outside to divert it and saw Keisha there.
She was waiting for her boyfriend to pick her up and when she spotted his car approaching, her beautiful face brightened as a smile showed.
Going out of the vehicle, Tonyo opened his arms and she sprinted her way to get inside them for an embrace.
As soon as she reached him, she just melted inside his arms na parang iniisip niyang sa wakas ay makakapagpahinga na siya.
I can't understand them. I can't understand that feeling of considering someone as your rest or home. It was too cliché and cringey for me.
Exactly when they left, a group of students entered the restaurant kaya pinuntahan sila ni Wren. And upon the sight of him approaching, the girls giggled and flushed but they instantly stopped when they saw me watching, maliban doon sa isang nakatitig sa asawa ko.
She was talking to my husband and I observed her hand dahil palapit 'yon nang palapit sa kamay ni Wren na nakapatong sa lamesa, until it was basically touching him but he didn't
notice it because he thought she was only grabbing the menu.
I repositioned myself on the stool as I felt my eye twitch from the sight dahil hindi ko 'yon nagugustuhan.
Halos lahat ng mga pumupunta rito ay aware na may girlfriend siya dahil palagi rin akong nandito at palagi siyang nakadikit sa akin kaya kahit na hindi niya sabihin ay talagang malalaman nila.
Sigurado nga ako na karamihan sa mga pumupunta rito ay para makita siya or si Wolf pero hindi siya masyado nilalapitan because they knew that I exist.
Pero exception yata 'tong babaeng 'to dahil mukhang hindi niya alam.
He noticed their eyes on me so he peered back and winked at me, pero hindi ko siya pinansin dahil ang atensyon ko ay naroon sa babaeng hindi parin inaalis ang tingin sa kanya.
I never liked losing. It was in my nature. Competition ran my life but nothing makes me competitive better than my husband. The competitions I've joined were nothing compared to when he was paying attention to somebody else.
