Blindfolds Of Love (We're just bestfriend book 2)

Chapter 1

After five years...

"Liza, we're going to have a new resident coming this week. So we need to clean the room. Spray some antibac baka may amoy pa iyon o bakas ng dating residente natin na namatay sa kwartong iyon," she said strictly to her caregiver who is also a filipina. She never felt goosebumps anymore when she had a resident who died.

But before, she's really scared. At her first week of being nurse in the hospital, her patient died and she cried after that and she got sick. For almost five years of working in an adult family home she used to it. She work as a part time caregiver while studying.

It's been five years since she left the Philippines and in that five years she never contacted her friends even her closest friends. She never ask her brothers or even her parents. They knew her story but not all, she never tell them the moment that she almost lost her virginity to her stupid bestfriend. They'll freak out if they knew about it and she doesn't want it to happen.

"Okay Miss!" magalang na sabi ng tinawag nitong Liza at nagsimula na ulit magtrabaho.

She go back to her office table doon din sa kanyang home at nagsimula ng magtype sa kanyang laptop, habang binabasa ang mga papeles na nasa tabi niya. Ganoon siya magtrabaho. Multi-tasking. Nakukuha pa din niyang mag-aral aside from her work.

She used to do that for five years. School, house and work is her routine for the past five years and now she's doing three jobs and she only has 4 hours to six hours of sleep. She even nag by her grandmother for not resting and not having a vacation.

Busying herself with her doctors order and medication records when she heard her phone rang. She shrugged her shoulder and look at it.

"Hey!" she answered.

"How are you?" a guy from the other line.

"Well as far as I know I'm better than yesterday. Why? What's with the call?" she smile as if he saw her smiling.

"Nah! Nothing, just wanna make sure that you didn't kill yourself," he laugh.

"You stupid jerk. Of course I won't and I'm not gonna kill my freaking life," she said horrified.

"Let's go out later," he sigh. Mukhang nahihiya itong yayain siya.

"Kuya Gian, I'm busy. Ang daming paper works dito at hindi pa ako mag tally," tila pagod ang katawan na sabi niya. Yeah it was Gian. Her brother's friend and band mate and the owner of the bar where they had gigs before.

She heard him sigh again. Nakaramdam naman siya ng habag dito. Palagi itong nagyayaya sa kanya ngunit tinatanggihan niya. Palagi siyang may dahilan. She's not that naive not to know if the guy likes her. But she never feel the same at ang magpaasa ang ayaw niyang gawin.

"I understand bunso," malungkot na sabi nito and he hang up the phone without hearing her protest. Nawala bigla ang parang masayang aura nito at jolly na pakikipagusap sa kanya.

Para namang pinipiga ang puso niya. Gian was really a nice guy to her. He became her savior once and became the best companion and now when he's asking for once tinanggihan niya. Noong mga panahong kailangan niya ng tulong ay ito ang nasandalan niya.

Noong huling gawi niya sa Pilipinas ay ito ang tumulong sa kanya na makauwi. Ito ang sumundo sa kanya ng gabing iyon na muntik na niyang ibigay ang sarili kay Zayrex, and after a year she just saw him at Bellevue Square in Washington, kung saan kalilipat lang niya ng State kasama ang mga lola at tita niya.
