Art of being a Player...

Nanghihinang napaupo ako sa couch ni Cian, nakaupo Lang ako at natulala, I don't know what to think anymore.. Cian is lying to me, but why?

Bumalik ako sa Unit ko at kinuha ang wallet ko,iniwan ko ang iphone ko at car keys at wala sa sariling umalis.

I decided to walk, Hindi ko alam Kung saan ako pupunta.. All I know is that I'm still craving for something but at the same time wala akong gana kumain.

Nagpunta nalang ako sa park at umupo sa swing, napayakap ako sa sarili ko nang maramdaman ko ang lamig ng hangin. Hindi ko alam Kung gaano ako katagal na nakatulala, Kung di pa ako nakaramdam ng gutom at Hilo ay di ko pa maiisip na tumayo. Naglakad lakad Lang ako hangang makakita ng 24 hours na foodchain..pumasok ako at naghanap ng makakain pero wala parin ako magustuhan..nagpatuloy ako sa pag hahanap ng makakain hangang sa makarating ako sa convenient store.. Nakakita ako ng ice cream at coffee in can.. Mukhang Ito ang hinahanap ko..gusto kong matawa sa sarili ko dahil sa madaling ayaw na and yet ganito ang kakainin ko? Mabubusog ba ako nito? I chose the half gallon cheese cake flavored ice cream and 3 cans of coffee. Habang nagbabayad ako sa cashier ay panay ngiti saakin ng cashier, Kaya nag Iwas nalang ako ng tingin Kaya napadako ang tingin ko sa orasan.. Alas tres na pala ng madaling araw..it means na ang tagal ko sa park. Nagmamadali kong kinuha ang paper bag Kay kuya at lumabas ng convinient store. I can't stand the way that cashier guy stared at me, pumara na ako ng taxi dahil nag uumpisa na naman sumama ang pakiramdam ko, pag dating ko sa condo ay nagtatakang binati ako ng guard.. Nagulat siguro sya dahil nakita ako na ganitong hitsura sa ganito kaagang oras. Nginitian ko Lang si kuya guard at dumiretso sa elevator, excited na ako kumain, Kaya habang naglalakad palabas ng elevator ay abala ako sa pagtitig sa paper bag na hawak ko.

"Where the hell have you been in this early hour Carra?!"

Nabura ang ngiti ko at napadiretso ako ng tayo ng marinig ang galit na boses ni Cian.

Nagtitigan kaming dalawa, he is still wearing the same clothes that he wore the moment that he left me at the garden.

Poker face ko Lang syang tiningnan.

"I'm asking you Carra?!" Naniningkit ang matang tanong nya, halatang nagpipigil ng galit.

"Why do you care?" I asked him coldly. Napaawang naman ang bibig Nya sa sagot ko. "Why are you asking me anyway when you're not even telling me your whereabouts." I said without showing him any emotions.

"My God Carra, are we really fighting because I did not tell you where I went? I told you I needed to meet some investors.. At sa bahay na ako tumuloy. I was trying to text you and call you but you were not answering.. I even asked the guys to look for you but you can't be found—"

"So are you saying that you were just at your parents house?"

"Yes---"

"Liar!" I yelled at him. "You weren't there, because you've been with Arianna the whole day!" Gigil kong sabi, I'm not sure if he was really with her..pero sinusubukan ko Lang syang hulihin.

"O-of course.. She was with me, because we have to meet the investors.."

"Really Cian? Don't make me look stupid, somebody saw you with her.. Kayong dalawa Lang at kakahiwalay nyo Lang!"

His eyes grew wide, his lips parted as if he was about to say something but can't find the right words.

"Don't try to lie Cian, because someone saw you." I lied.

He sighed and looked away. I bit my lips to controls my sob, so he was really with her. Nailing nalang ako..tinype ko ang password sa ng pinto ko at punasok. I left him standing outside, Hindi pa ako nakakailang hakbang ng pumasok sya sa unit ko.
