When I Say I Love You

Crazy?

***
Medyo dumahan dahan na ng konti ang pag papatakbo ni William ng makita ang view ng beach.

"Sinadya ko talagang pabilisan kanina kasi medyo magulo sa city kanina. Alam mo na, hindi maganda ang view doon. Pero pag nakarating kna dito, you'll actually like the view. Fresh air. Sea breeze. Reminds me of my childhood."

He opened the window of his car. At nagulat ako kasi binuksan nya ang bubong ng sasakyan. Convertible pala.

I closed my eyes when I feel the wind touches my skin. He's right. It is indeed good. Hinayan kong magulo ang aking buhok gawa ng hangin.

I wont mind. It's worth it anyway.

Ipinarada nya ang sasakyan sa tapat ng isang kulay Sky blue na bahay na may magandang hardin sa tapat.

He pressed the doorbell couple of times, bumukas ang gate at iniluwa nito ang isang maputi at magandang babae na tantya ko ay nasa 20 and edad.

"William?"

She then looked at me. She looks so puzzled kaya inunahan ko na.

"We came here, cause I wanted to talk to you actually. Im Kassandra Blair, manager of Awake & Aroused." Inilahad ko ang aking kamay na agad naman nyang tinanggap.

"Nice to meet you Miss, Im Emma. Pasok kayo sa loob."

"Thanks."
Ngumiti ako sa kanya.
Then tumingin ako kay William na naka tingin sa akin. Bumulong ako sa kanya.

"Why did she knew my Nickname?" He shrugged. I won't be surprise. William and Andy are best of friends. Close silang apat pero iba talaga ang closeness ng dalawa. Pati deepest secrets nila alam nila isa't isa. Kaya malamang sa malamang na mention nila ako kay Emma.

She led us to the living room.
I noticed that she's alone.

"You have a nice place here Emma. By the way do you live alone here?"

"Yes Miss."
Maganda siya, makinis at mukhang mabait naman. Andy have a nice taste huh. I liked her, kumpara naman sa ibang babae na kung maka lingkis ay parang anaconda. Sya parang isang mahinhin na babae na napaka demure.

"Anyways, I would like to know kung ano ang estado ng relasyon nyo ni Andy." I started

She looked away. Parang ayaw pagusapan.

" Please Emma, I beg you. Mahal ka ng alaga ko. He's acting weird lately. It's not healthy anymore. Sa career nya. Sa kanilang lahat. Kung ano mang pinag awayan nyo please help me settle it down."

I looked at William. He's looking at me. Parang Amaze na amaze. seriously? Tititigan nya lang ba ako the whole time.
Pinanlakihan ko sya ng mata, means tulungan nya akong makumbinsi si Emma.

Pero pumungay lang ang kanyang mata sa kakatitig sa akin.
Damn! Wala akong mapapala sa isang to.

"Actually Miss, hindi naman away ang issue ni Andy dito. Aalis ako by the end of the month. Susunod ako sa parents ko. They're in Rome right now. They expect me to see me by the end of the month. Doon kami maninirahan. Siguro for 3-5 years."

What? Kaya pala nagkakaganun si Andy. He loves Emma so much. That's why he's acting like that cause he didn't want Emma to leave him.

"Emma please. I beg you. We have this coming project by the 2nd week of summer. We should finish the songs until the end of this month. Pero hindi namin magagawa yon kung palaging ganun si Andy." I said.
Hindi lang career nila o trabaho ko ang isasalba ko dito.

Syempre naiintindihan ko si Andy. Ayoko ring masaktan sya. Masakit nga sa akin na magkahiwalay kami ng tinitirhan ni Drew, makahiwalay pa ng bansa kaya? It is worse.
