CHAPTER TWELVE

New York - 9:30 pm

Y/n's POV

I was sitting on the couch of a hotel room with a drink in hand. My head was spinning, hindi dahil sa iniinom ko, kundi dahil sa mga iniisip ko.

Aiah and I just had another argument. Or rather, I was the only one talking. She barely said anything, her responses cold and short, like she couldn't be bothered anymore.

This wasn't her.

This wasn't us.

Hindi ko maintindihan. Weeks ago, kahit na sinabi ng management na maghiwalay kami, nilaban parin namin. We said we'd make it work, kahit patago. But lately, she seem so distant... Every time I tried to talk to her, she'd brush me off or worst, hindi niya talaga ako papansinin.

I stared at my phone, sending her anothe
message.

Aiah my loves

Love, can we talk? Please.

Are you busy?

I miss you...

Still, no reply.

A notification suddenly popped up. It was from Patricio.

Tricho

Y/n, did you and Aiah
completely break up?

No. Why?

Check mo X.

The management made a statement.

It's about Aiah... and Gelo.

My stomach dropped.

I opened my X app, nanginginig pa ang kamay ko. Bumungad agad ang mga headlines, photos, articles everywhere.

"BINI Aiah and BGYO Gelo: Star Management Confirms Dating Rumors."

I couldn't breathe. My world felt like it stopped spinning.

What the hell is this?

I tried to think of an explanation, pero isa lang ang pumapasok sa utak ko. She's been distant because of this. Because she's been... seeing someone else...

Anger boiled inside me, mixed with heartbreak. My vision blurred as I gripped my phone tighter, reading the headlines over and over again until the screen cracked under my hand.

Hindi sapat yon. Inubos ko ang laman ng glass ko at parang nawala ako sa wisyo. Bigla ko nalang naibato ang basong hawak ko dahilan para magkalat ang piraso nito.

But it didn't do anything to ease the pain.

Aiah.

Aiah...

How can you do this to me?

I woke up.

"Huy, Y/n?" ate Maloi's voice. My eyes fluttered open, my cheeks wet with tears.
"Y/n, okay ka lang?" she asked.

Napaupo ako habang naghahabol ng hininga
The dream felt too vivid, too real. Naninikip ang dibdib ko. Naramdam ko nanaman yung sakit.

"I'm fine," I mumbled, brushing the tears away quickly, ayoko nang makita niya akong ganito.
