Cupid Ville Series:Loving you all the way

Day 0 with the Voice message

(When Safiya left)

-WEDNESDAY-

Nang marinig ni Nathan ang voice message agad siyang napaupo.Did he heard it right?

Safiya..love him?Then did she just said bye?

What?

Naguguluhan na siya. Safiya.His best friend just said "I love you."

Mahal kita is I love you right? Diba? Wala namang ibig sabihin nun.

Of course she love me I'm his best friend pero they never said those words to each other. Maliban noong sila pa..pero hindi pa naman nila alam kung ano talaga ang ibig sabihin ng I love you noon. Ang bata pa nila noon but of course hindi niya itatanggi na Puppy love niya si Safiya at tini-treasure niya ang mga memory nila noon na sila pa. Noong nag migrate sila sa Amerika hindi sila nawalan ng komunikasyon ni Safiya he even thought that they could go back together as a couple and be in a long distance relationship thing but then Safiya being Safiya opened her mouth and said that they could be good friends. It was cool hindi naman siya nagreklamo whatever Safiya wants he will gladly give it to her. So they become good friends it was so so good he forgot that they actually just been out in a relationship.

It was steady nagcha-chat sila nagvi-video call it's really like having best friend. Nawala sa isip niya ang "thought" niya at nakontento sa binigay ni Safiya sa kanya but then now... Shit. Siguro I love you as a best friend ang ibig sabihin ng voice message nito.

"Oh pare bakit para kang patay riyan? Anong nangyari sayo tol?"

"Parang alam ko na kung bakit..may voice messge na galing kay Safiya oh." sabi naman ni Zyron sabay silip sa cellphone na hawak hawak.

"Play mo nga."

"Ikaw na yung mag play. Baka kagatin ako niyan."

"Hindi ka niya kakagatin.Tingnan mo nga parang estatwa. Bilis na."

"Shut it,Jake! Ako na." Presinta ni Steven na karga karga nito si Alistair.

Pin-lay nga ni Steven ang voice message at natahimik rin ang mga ito.

Oh good hindi rin pala siya ang nagulat.

"Did Safiya just said that?" basag ni Zyron sa katahimikan."

"I think she just did." sang ayon ni Steven.

"Baka wrong send lang." sabad naman ni Jake.

Napatingin sila kay Jake napaatras naman sa gulat ito. "Joke lang pare. Joke." bawi nito.

"No no baka wrong send nga si Safiya."sang ayon niya kay Jake.

Kitang kita sa dalawang mata niya ang pagbatok ni Zyron kay Jake.

"Shit! Bakit ba?"

"Hindi wrong send iyon!"

"Baka nga lang baka! Pambihira!" napahawak ng batok si Jake.

"Ang negative mo kasi!"

"Hindi ako negative I'm just open to possibilities."

"Baka na wrong send nga si Safiya." sabi niya ulit.

"Tawagan mo." suhestyon ni Steven.

"Baka busy siya." aniya

"Busy? Nakuha nga niya mag voice message sayo busy pa? Tawagan mo na Tol."

Napailing iling siya.Hindi niya alam kung bakit natatakot siya.

"Hindi mo malalaman ang totoo kung hindi mo tatawagan."

"Sabi nga nila only the truth will set you free." sabi naman ni Zyron."

Only the truth will set you free. It was a lame saying but damn that is so right in his situation right now.

Huminga siya ng malalim.

"Right. Tatawagan ko siya." buong ng katapagan na sabi niya.

"Tawagan mo!"

"Tatawagan ko!"

"That's the spirit!"

"Tatanungin ko siya kung bakit niya sinabi sa akin ang voice message na iyon!"

"Tama na yan! Tanungin mo!"

"Dialing Safiya." sabi niya sa mga ito habang nagri-ring ang cellphone nito. While waiting for Safiya to pick up he can feel someone drumming inside his chest.

"Do it Nathan!"

"You can do it,Pare."

With determination he nodded.

Yes,he can do it. He can do it---

"Sorry the number you have dialed is unattended or out of coverage area please try to call again later."

Shit.
