28 Days

Day 23

So dapat last week pa 'tong update ipopost kaso nasira yung phone ko so I had to retype this. Tsaka sabi ko naman diba mag-uupdate ako, wag nyo lang ako madaliin. Tsaka I do this writing to release my stress, not to gain more. Chill lang tayo, okay? Nao-overwhelm ako sa love nyo para sa 28 Days and I'd be forever thankful for that. Sorry sa mabagal na updates but as I've said before, feel free to remove my story on your libraries if you can't wait patiently. Naiintindihan ko naman yun. :)

You know the drill, tell me your thoughts or tweet me @kyemeeeh#28DaysWP

Maine's POV

Day 23

"Alden? Ano ba 'yang sinasabi mo? Nakadrugs ka ba?"

"I'm dead serious Maine. I'll do everything to have you back. I'll win you back."

"Tangina naman Faulkerson. Kung balak mo kong gawing kabit, well fuck you and you're games. I deserve better. I'm so done with you. So please do me a favour and leave me alone."

"Huy Ate, you're idling. Kahapon ka pa parang ewan dyan simula nung umalis si Kuya. Nawala lang ako saglit parang may kung ano na kayong napag-usapan. Ano ba kasing sinabi sayo nun at nagkaka-ganyan ka?"

"Wala nga. Kulang lang siguro ako sa tulog."

"Kulang sa tulog e mas nauna ka ngang nakatulog sakin kagabi tapos kaninang umaga naman e mas nauna pa kong nagising sayo. Nakadrugs ka ba Ate?"

"Hindi ako, yung Kuya mo. Sabihin mo, si Kim drug pusher yun no? Kung anu-ano pinapahithit sa Kuya mo e."

"Ay Ate, kung nakahithit nga ng droga yun si Kuya at kung anuman yung pinainom sa kanya ni Kim, magbabayad ako ng kahit magkano makahanap lang ng pangontra. Aba! Di yata ako papaya na maging hipag yung baliw na yun no!"

Riza and I were still in Tagaytay. I asked her to stay with me for I cannot bear to go back to Manila and be with his brother after that conversation we had yesterday. I'm so close to believing that there's some kind of drug that Kim had him taken causing him to say such things.

"Ate, Dad called. Pinapauwi na ako, may meeting daw sa bahay. Mamamanhikan na daw si Kuya."

Wow. Just wow. One second, Alden's telling that he'll win me back, then he'll have his family meet Kim's next. Seriously?

If ever you'll see Richard Faulkerson, Jr., could you give him a knack on his head from me? That would be really great.

"Hatid na kita sa inyo. Sabay na tayong umuwi sa Manila."

"Talaga? Does this mean you'll help me stop Kuya and his crazy antics? Pipigilan na natin yung wedding?"

"Pagkakaalala ko, I just offered to send you home. I didn't mention any wedding."

"Pero Ate papayag ka ba na maging hipag ko yun si Kim? I can't even call her Ate!"

"Remember that line from John Lloyd and Bea's movie? 'Kung di mo na siya kayang pagkatiwalaan, kahit sa pagmamahal ka nalang nya ikaw magtiwala.' I don't know if I'm making sense, but since I can't trust your brother at this moment, I trust his love for you. Alam ng Kuya mo ang ginagawa nya."

"Ate Maine, how can you do that?"

"Do what?"

"How can you believe and have faith in my brother after all he had done to you?"

"Alam mo Riza, siya parin naman kasi si Richard e. Yung Alden Richards na nakilala ni Yaya Dub nung July 16. Yung taong nagpabago sa buhay ko 6 years ago. Yung Richard Faulkerson, Jr na minahal ko.. na alam yung ginagawa nya.. na mahal yung pamilya nya at gumagawa ng desisyon na alam nyang makakabuti para sa nakakarami, para sa lahat. He's still Richard Faulkerson, Jr. after all."
