IZANA
I don’t know. I forgot to count the days, months, or years na wala siya. She gave up on us but i want to win her back.
“Babe, look at my dress.” Samantha said and showed her outfit. “Is it good?”
“Bahala ka. Ikaw naman may suot niyan.” I answered. I looked at my watch. “Tapos ka na ba? Traffic na pagdating sa venue.”
“Yes.” She answered.
I stood up at sumunod agad siya. I don’t have the time to hold her hands and be sweet towards her. The only exception is her. Ashlyn Haven.
I went inside my car at sumakay naman siya. I sighed heavily and started the car. I didn’t remove our photo here with Uno. “You love her that much, ano?”
Hindi ako sumagot. Hindi pa ba obvious sa kanya? “Hindi ako magkakalugar sayo ‘no?”
“What kind of question is that?”
I heard her chuckle. “Ayaw ko rin naman mangyari ‘to but they were too desperate. They’re old kaya makisama ka naman.”
“Tanginang rason yan. Wag ka mag i do sa kasal, papayag akong makisama.” I answered.
Gusto pala gantong trip. Edi ibibigay ko. “Kung nagbibiro ka, ang pangit mo mag joke.” She said. “Ang gastos nila then iwa waste la-”
“I can pay them back. Double pa, if they want.”
“Then, make this stop.” She said. “Para makita natin kung anong mangyayari sa pinakamamahal mo.”
I hit the breaks kaya nauntog siya. “Fuck! Dahan dahan!”
“Get out.” I said.
“Come on, nagbibiro lang.” Malanding sambit niya at balak pang hawakan ang balikat ko.
“I SAID GET OUT! TANGINA.”
She started tearing up. I don’t have a choice but to deal with this brat. Tangina. I started driving again and reached the venue.
Hindi ko na siya hinintay at dire diretsong pumasok but she managed to catch up and cling on my arms.
As soon as i stepped on the red carpet, i finally saw her talking to Mitsuya and his girlfriend.
Our eyes met and i felt something. It still hurts. Mitsuya smiled. “Happy birthday.”
“Thanks bro.” He answered.
“Happy birthday, Mitsuya!” Samantha greeted and he just smiled at her.
I looked at Ashlyn. “Nice to see you.”
She just nodded and proceeded talking. I still remember how Ryusei asked for something. If he can pursue her.
Kung ayan naman magpapasaya kay Ashy, bakit hindi?
We walked towards our seats. Agad na napasipol sila Hanma pero agad nagbago ang mood when Ashy came. “BOSS MADAM!!!” Bati nila and welcome her with open arms.
“Ano chika sa inyo ni Ryusei?” Pang aasar nila Hanma.
She smiled and sat beside Ryusei na may bitbit sa bag niya. “Crush niya na rin ako.” Sagot ni Ryusei. “Diba, ssob?”
