The Space Between us

Chapter 1

Loren's Pov

I was pacing back and forth Dito sa shop namin ni Risa. Naiinis ako kanina pa.

It's already 5 in the afternoon

I heard the door opened

"Problema nito?" I heard Imee, Risa, Sara, and Leni

Humarap ako sa kanila

Andito na Ang kampon ng kadiliman

"Ano bang nangyayare sayo? Nasa labas palang kami ng shop para kang tangang pabalik balik ng lakad" Saad ni Sara

I glared at Sara

"Oh shut up" I said

"Ahh, alam ko na. Miss mo na Naman SI Pia noh?" Ngisi ni Imee

"Pia was out of town, kausap ko kagabi Sabi Niya she need some space.Mag heheal daw SI bading" Saad ni Leni

I rolled my eyes and i crossed my arms.

"Shunga Hindi iyan, I already know that magkausap kami kagabi-----"

"Uyy talking stage na sila----"

I closed my eyes tightly, lord bigyan nito Po ako ng mahabang pasensya sa mga kaibigan ko please.

"Will you stop it?!" Inis Kong Sabi

"Ayy galit na Ang dragon" sabat ni Risa

I glared at her

"Isa pa, babatuhin kita ng tela" Sabi ko Dito kaya lahat sila humagalpak ng tawa

"Gosh, pikon ah. Anong ba kaseng problema?" Tanong nila

"I opened my phone kanina and check the news about sa mga basura. To my surprise Ang daming nagkalat kanina sa may Baguio Doon sa may lake Banda. Nakakainis because it's me who passed the law of waste desegregation tapos di nila kayang sundin? The process of making that law, my god Minsan talaga may mga bobo paring Pilipino" I shook my head

All of them stared at me

"What are you staring at?" Asik ko

"My poor Loren is stress na, halika na nga punta Tayo Jan sa may kanto ihaw ihaw Tayo" akbay saakin ni Risa

"She's Right, street food Tayo. Namiss ko yon" saad Naman ni Sara

We all agreed na mag ihaw ihaw Jan sa gilid. Some people keep on looking at us. Of course they will stare at us, were retired politicians.

"Kuya pabalot ako nito" Saad ni Risa

I looked at her

"That bbq is for my wife Alice. It's her favorite" Saad nito

I smiled, Risa is happily married with a 4 year old kid Ali. Ako kaya? When am I going to find the love of my life? Traffic pa ba siya?

"Risa, wag mong papakainin niyan SI Ali baka di pa kayanin ng tiyan Niya" Saad ni Sara

Risa just nodded her head

Maya Maya pa nag alok si Leni na mag bar daw

Jusko, this is an unplanned jam.

Well unplanned jam is always the best

"Hoy Loren, wag pakalala mag inom ha?  Tandaan mo Wala SI Pia, pag sinukahan mo ako tatapon kita sa gitna ng kalsada" taray saakin ni Sara

I just did a peace sign. Yeah inaamin ko Naman talaga na mahina ako sa inuman. Good thing Pia was Always there to take care of me. Pero Ngayon Wala siya so I need to take care of myself.
