Sweet Revenge

CHAPTER-18

*Zaren Ashton*

I woke up feeling like millions of knives stabbing my head.

Heck! Hang over...

I opened my eyes just then I realized that I'am in unfamiliar place.

Wtf? What happened last night? and where the hell I'am?

Bumangon ako,wala na yung polo shirt na suot ko kagabi.

Napatingin ako sa couch na nandito sa kwarto. May dalawang unan at may kumot dun.

"Tongtongtong pakitong kitong... Alimango sa dagat,malaki at masarap.Mahirap mahuli sapagkaaat nangangagat"

I heard someone singing a very familiar song kaya pinuntahan ko ito.

"Good Morning,Ashton" she greeted.

Frianne?

Ashton? It sounds so good to be called by my second name.

"Ahm. Good Morning.Nasan tayo?"

"Andito ka sa condo ko.Lasing na lasing ka na kasi kagabi eh" sagot nya.

Andito kami sa kusina at nagluluto sya.

Frianne look so pretty with that messy bun.She's wearing a loose tee and summer shorts.

Kumamot ako ng ulo.

"I'm sorry" I apologized.

"I love Laica so much. Please explain to me why did she left me. I miss her. I wanna hug and kiss her" sabi nya sa tono ng boses ko.

Mang aasar pala to'ng 'Pretend Girlfriend' ko.

Tumawa naman ako. Ang cute nya.

Hays... Laica....

Maybe I really should do forget you.

"Tara, kain na" hinila nya ang kamay ko papunta sa dining.

Tawa kami ng tawa habang kumakain.

Andami nya kasing kwento.

Sobrang kulit at masarap kausap si frianne.

Napatitig ako habang nagsasalita sya.

She really look so familiar

I don't know but she looks like the person I've been longing to see.

Her expressive eyes plus the song she sang while she's cooking earlier.

"Thank you" yinakap ko sya ng mahigpit.

Nagulat naman sya sa ginawa ko kaya kumalas ako sa pagkakayakap.

Maya maya nag-ring yung cellphone ko.

'Dad Calling.....'

I pressed the answer button.

("Zaren! Where are you? It's late in the morning!!")
He huffed on the line.

"I'm sorry,Dad. I'm here at my friend's place."

Tinignan ko si frianne na nakatingin din sakin.

("There's a big problem here in our company. Very big,Zaren")

Kinabahan ako bigla sa sinabi ni Dad. Sobrang seryoso ng boses nya.

"W-what is it dad?" Nauutal ko'ng tanong.

("We lost Mr. Tan's shares")

"What?!!" Di ko mapigilan mapasigaw sa narinig ko.

Pinaghirapan ko'ng makuha yun. Tapos ganun nalang kabilis mawawala.

("You heard it right.Come here immediately") he said then hang up the call.

I sighed heavily.

"Hey, what's wrong?" hinawakan nya ang balikat ko.

"Hmmm. Nothing.Pupunta ka ba sa shop mo? Hatid na kita bago ako pumunta sa office"

"Okay.I'll fix myself first"

-

We're on our way. I can't stop thinking what the heck is going on!

"Wait,ashton" hinawakan ni frianne yung braso ko.

"Why? Problem?" tanong ko.

Tumingin sya sa labas ng bintana.

"Okay lang ba kung bumaba tayo saglit?"

"Sure,but why?" I asked her back.

Di nya ko sinagot,bumaba sya ng sasakyan kaya bumaba nalang din ako at sumandal.

"Manong tres pa din po ba isa nito?" narinig kong tanong nya sa tindero.

"Ah. Opo ma'am"

Tumingin sya sakin tapos sinenyasan na lumapit kaya lumapit ako

"Kumakain ka ba nito?"

Tinignan ko yung tinuturo nya.

"K-kalamares?" Di makaniwalang tanong ko.

"Nice, tara kain tayo" inabutan nya ko ng isang stick.

Inabot ko yun pero natulala ako sa naiisip ko.

"Favorite ko to simula bata pa lang ako. Antagal ko ng di natitikman to eh,buti nalang nakita ko.Ikaw? Kailan mo to una natikman?" tanong ni frianne tsaka sunod-sunod na sinubo yung nasa stick nya.

"Ah.Kailan lang" sagot ko.

pero hindi totoo.

Just like her, I first tasted kalamares when I was a kid back then.

-

"Thanks for the ride,ingat sa pag d-drive" nagbeso sya sa'kin.

Di ko namalayan na andito na pala kami sa tapat ng shop nya dahil sa pag iisip ko kanina pa.

Nginitian ko lang sya tapos bumaba na sya.

I started driving but I'm still having my deep thoughts.

She looks like her.

She sang our favorite song.

She likes eating kalamares.

Was it all really just a coincidence?!

"Storm.........."

-
