Together Forever

Chapter 5

Naomi's POV

Crap.

I'm dead.

This is messed up.

Seems like there's no way out of this trouble I made.

Para akong na paralyzed. Hindi ako makapagsalita. Parang naka mighty bond ung mga paa ko sa lupa. Hindi ako makagalaw. Hindi ko alam ung gagawin ko. Lahat ng pinagagawa ko bumalik saakin. Gusto ko lang naman na ipakita kina Chelsea at Zara na hindi ako papahuli sa kanila. I just wanted to make them stop of making fun of me, talking shit about me, calling me a loner, and a weakling. That's all. Kasalanan ko ba kung fragile ako at madaling masaktan sa pinagsasabi ng ibang tao? Hindi naman ako papayag na gaganunin lang nila ako. Of course I had to do something. To save myself.

But what is happening?

Akala ko makakawala na ako sa kasinungalingan ko na to. I thought I saved myself already.

There's even a bigger problem na dumating.

"Naomi? Are you mad cause we didn't do anything kanina while we saw your boyfriend with another girl?" tanong ni Zara.

"I think she's so shocked. Look at her face. Her reaction." ang sabi ni Chelsea.

"Huy Naomi!!!!" biglang tapik saakin ni Ysa at nagising naman ako sa mga imahinasyon ko.

"Hey, what's wrong with her?" tanong ni Mark. "You want water Naomi?"

"Ah.. eh.." ang tanging sagot ko na lang. Hindi ko talaga alam ang gagawin ko. My mind is not functioning right now. Allah. Buudha. I need you right now!!

"Oh hey Marcus! You're here."

"What's up Mark? Didn't get to talk to you earlier."

Bigla akong napatingin sa lalaking kausap ni Mark at sabay kaming nagkatingin ng Marcus na yun. Until I have realized...

HOLY SHIT.

THAT'S HIM.

"I know you! Weren't you the one wh—"

Pinutol ko ang sasabihin ng lalaking nagngangalang Marcus at hinawakan ko sya sa braso at hinila papunta sa loob ng mansion. Nawala ang hiya ko. Kahit hindi ko sya kilala personally, wala na akong pakielam at kinaladkad sya papalayo kina Chelsea, Zara at Mark. Sorry Ysa, pati ikaw naiwan ko. But please sana maintidihan mo. Kailngan kong ayusin tong problemang ginawa ko. Alam kong sya yun. Sya yung lalaking nakita ko sa Starbucks at kinuhaan ng litrato. Ugh. THIS IS SO MESSED UP.

Kailngan kong makahanp ng lugar kung saan walang tao. Kung saan walang makakaita saaming dalawa. Nakarating kami sa isang kwarto.

Shit.

My heart is pounding. This is awkward. What to do? Anong sasabihin ko sa kanya.

"Hey. Did you need me for something?" maamong tanong saakin ni Marcus.
