The Sneaky Plan (Completed)

- Chapter 36 : Everything -

"Ohhh, so that's the guy." she said and immediately grabbed my phone. I tried to get my phone from her but she wouldn't let me.

"Devaney! Bring it back!" I said but she just laughed. Ugh, she's impossible! Now tell me why did I become friends with her?

"Ugh, no way. Alice, tell me nga. Hay nako, you never gave me hints about this guy. All I could remember was his name. You said that he was Danger. It's just unfair. 5 months na kitang kasama  buong buhay ko nakwento ko na, pero ikaw yun lang nakwento mo. Unfairrrrrr."

I rolled my eyes.

"Devaney naman e. Ayoko nang pagusapan 'to." I said in annoyance.

"Grabe talaga Alice, nakakatampo ka na. Why are you being so unfair. Alam mo bang kaya kita in-approach dati nung first day of school dahil, gusto kitang maging kaibigan . Natuwa nga ako dahil pinoy ka din pala, akala ko kasi may ibang lahi ka kasi iba yung ganda mo. Yun na nga, I thought friends na tayo, pero  look at this. Friends  is all about sharing stuffs and everything." she sigh.  I shook my head dahil ang dami niyang sinabi, well...she's always like this, she's always talkative and I think that's the reason why I like her as my friend. Pero iba talaga siya at may pagka baliw siya pag nagtatampo. Ganito siya ka OA mag salita. "Alice you're so unfair. Let me remind you, I saved you the day you needed sanitary napkin. I saved y-"

"Fine." I said in annoyance. "I-kwekwento ko na. Hay nako, ang dami mong sinabi."

"Hehe. Yehey! Start!"

Kwinento ko sakanya. She listened and as I've expected she's disappointed.

"You still love him. Can you just move on?" she said. "Magiging asawa na siya ng kapatid mo. Alice, mahirap pag di ka pa mag momove on. Magiging family na kayo soon. Mas mahirap yon."

Sinabunutan ko sarili ko. Na frufrustrate na din ako. It's been 5 months "Hindi ko na alam gagawin ko."

"I know its hard kaya andito ako, tutulungan kita. Promise."

I hugged her.

I went back home after our conversation.

I always keep myself busy to putting the all stupid thoughts out of mind. I grabbed my magazine at humiga ako sa sofa.

Ding dong!

Napatingin ako sa pintuan ng condo ko.

I opened the door,

"Alice, please. Go home. Danger needs you."

My heart has started to skip beats. Tumuyo yung lalamunan ko. Ano daw?

"H-ha?"

Hinawakan ni Bella yung kamay ko. She looks serious. Ano bang nangyayari? I'm so confused.

"Alice, please go home. Please. I beg you. Please." naiiyak na sabi niya. "I can't take seeing Danger like that. I never wanted seeing him like that. He's always drunk, going to bars, going home late.  I just can't take seeing him killing him self."

"W-what are you talking about-t?"

"Sorry talaga Alice. Sorry talaga." she said tapos niyakap niya ako.

"Uh? bakit ka ba nag sosorry."

"I'm sorry," Bella said once more, as she immediately stopped hugging me as she wiped her tears."Hindi naman talaga si Danger yung tatay netong dinadala ko. Sinabi ko lang naman y-yon dahil, gusto-o kong...ugh! shit sorry talaga." she said while crying.

Have you ever felt like this? It's not easy to respond calmly when you're feeling angry with someone but yet, I tried very hard to calm myself at wag magalit  dahil, baka ma stress siya. I saw her stomach and it 's very noticeable already. Sympre 5 months na. And to think na byumahe pa siya from manila to here, it's very risky for the baby . Na mention din kasi ni dad and mom dati na mahina ang kapit ng bata kaya bawal daw ma stress si Bella. Well, wala naman talaga akong balak na marinig  ang status ng pagbubuntis ni Bella pero dad and mom told that issue anyway. I mean, may choice ba ako? Wala naman. Now this? Gusto kong magalit kaso, hindi pwede. This is driving me crazy.

"Come home please?" she begged.

I took a deep breath and shook my head. "S-sorry. I can't."

I went into the kitchen to grab some water. Everything she said made my throat a bit dry.

She followed me into the kitchen. "Don't you love him anymore?"

I stopped. My heart stopped.

Uminom uli ako ng tubig. I went to my glass window in my receiving area viewing the busy  city of LA.

I'm at a point in my life when I was getting tired with all these dramas. Bakit ba ako nag dradrama? Why do I always complicate things? She said sorry. She's my sister after all, bakit ba  ako nagagalit ? Life's too short para magmukmok , bakit ginagawa kong complicated ang lahat? Ugh. Why do we fight over a guy? Two women, one man and just a bunch of drama. Pagod na ako. Gusto ko nang matapos 'tong drama na 'to.

I took a deep breath at lumingon ako sakanya.

Ugh. Screw these dramas. I don't care anymore how complicated this gets. I still want him.

"When's the flight?"
