Chapter 1
"fuck you're finally here with your son!" Malutong na murang bati ni Renz sa akin
"Tatampalin ko yang bibig mo Renz! Naririnig ka nang anak ko" Pagalit kong balik sa kanya
"Calyx I'm your ninong Renz, do I look more pogi in person?" Renz asked my son
"Yes po. Uhmm you told me you'll bring me doon sa magagandang place! You promised me" My son said
"hayan nangako pa kasi. Bahala ka ngayon ah" Alam kong di titigilan ni Calyx si Renz
"I always make sure that I can do things before I promise it. You don't need to worry" Balik na saa ni Renz.
After 5 years, I finally smelled the pollution again! I missed this place, the heat, my friends, the food oh everything!
"Alam ba nila Grace na ngayon ang dating mo? O sakin mo lang sinabi?" He asked
"Uhm ikaw lang ang nakaka alam. Surprise ko sa kanila to." Sagot ko
"Mukhang may madadagukan. Hahaha" Pagpaparinig ni Renz
"Shut up, Renz. Kakadating ko lang wag mo akong inisin." I told him
"Ano? May matutuluyan ka ba dito? O mag hohotel kayo?" He asked
"Sa hotel lang. Babalik na din naman kami ng England once the wedding is done." I answered
"What? Akala ko pa naman kahit mga 1 month mag stay ka dito. I missed you, really" Niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit.
"I missed you too, Renz. You know, can't leave my job, wala pa kasi akong project kaya I need to go back immediately." I answered hahang naglalalad kami papunta sa kotse nya. Nakahawak si Renz sa kamay ni Calyx habang masaya siyang nag lalakad
"Can't you live here again? You know well that you've been missing our chronicles." He said
"My life isn't here Renz. I can't live here again, I'll just remember all the worst things that I did."
"Fuck that asshole. Hindi niya alam kung anong kagaguhan ang ginawa niya!" Nakita ko ang galit sa mukha ni Renz habang sinasabi niya yon
"Ano ka ba, mas galit ka pa yata kesa sa akin, alam mo, nangyari lahat ng ito sa akin dahil din sa kagagawan ko, at dahil hinayaan ko yo na mangyari sa akin kahit na alam kong ganito ang magiging resulta, hayaan mo na it's already in the past." Sabi ko bago sumakay sa kotse
Naka kandong sa akin di Calyx na ngayon ay mahimbing nang natutulog. Mukhang pagod na pagod sa tagal naming bumyahe
"He asked where are you." Sambit ni Renz
"huh?"
"I said he asked me where are you, I just told him that go and fuck some other girls 'cause you're done with him." He seriously said
"Hahahahaha that sounds like I'm the one who dumped him huh? Thanks, Renz you're really the best!" Natatawa kong sabi
"I'm thinking if you can laugh like that when you saw him again. I'm sure that he'll be at Sophie's wedding and of course sa rehearsals" Seryoso pa rin ang mukha ni Renz
"Ang seryoso mo naman po lolo Renz. Okay lang ako no, lahat nga kinaya ko eto pa ba?" I assured him
Bakit nga ba naging magkaibigan na lang kami ni Renz? He's not gay, I swear. Pero hindi rin naman siya babaero. He's too serious when it comes to having a relationship. Siguro we have too may things in commom kaya we didn't click as lovers. You won't believe that we tried dating right? Lol. Pero wala eh, even him doesn't even think of us having a relationship that's why we became bestfriends.
"What if he asks about Calyx. You can't deny that he's the father. Wala manlang nakuhang features sayo si Calyx, okay lang din kahit papaano di sya pangit." He smirked at me
"Are you curious of my answer or gusto mo pa akong inisin?" I asked
"What? Hey I'm just telling you the truth. Well, truth hurts." He said
"And you're still single, truth hurts." Balik kong inis sa kanya
"I'm working on it, don't worry too much. Mauunahan pa kitang mag settle down." Talo nanaman ako sa mokong na ito
"Ugh! Kainis ka! Hatid mo na nga ako sa hotel."
Tumawa lang ng malakas si Renz at ipinag patuloy ang pag dadrive niya. Mabilis lang kaming nakarating sa hotel na tutuluyan ko.
"You can go home Renz, okay na kami dito." Sabi ko nang huminto kami sa harap ng hotel
"Pano yung mga gamit nyo?" He asked
"May mga room boy naman. Saka I know you have other things to do, thanks anyway for picking us in the airport." Nakangiting kong sabi.
"Fucking sht!" Nagulat ako nang nangmura si Renz
"Hoy ano ba! Baka magising ang anak ko gumaya pa sayo." Naiinis kong sabi
"Ethan's here" Sunod sunod ang tibok ng puso ko bago sinundan ang tingin ang tinitingnan ni Renz. Palabas na si Ethan sa hotel na may kasamang babae.
"He really didn't change huh, fucking around is still his hobby" Di ko mapigilang sabihin ang komento ko
"And you're still affected huh? How sure are you that they fucked each other?" Renz asked
"It's 7 in the freaking morning at may dalawang taong palabas sa hotel. What do you think they did all night long? Staring game? Hide and seek? Bato bato pick?" I stated as a matter of factly
"Guess your right. Balitang balita yan, Ethan the most sought after architect and businessman always seen with different socialites every week." Iiling iling na sabi ni Renz. Tiningnan lang namin si Ethan at ang babaeng kasama niya hanggang sa makaalis sila.
"I should really get going. I need to rest." I said bago bumaba ng kotse. Bumaba rin si Renz para tulungan akong ilipat sa trolley ang lahat ng gamit naming mag ina. Nahirapan pa akong kumilos dahil buhat buhat ko si Calyx na hanggang ngayon ay mahimbing na natutulog
"So I'll just pick you up tomorrow for the rehearsals?" Renz asked
"Yep. Pa late tayo, gusto ko ng grand entrance!" I said
"Fine whatever you want." He sighed and kissed Calyx cheeks before he went away. Ako naman ay pumasok na sa loob ng hotel para kunin ang keycard sa pina reserve kong kwarto
Nang makarating ako sa kwarto ay agad kong ibinaba si Calyx dahil ngawit na ngawit na ako. Then I remember the scene earlier, napaisip ako. Kung hindi kaya ako nabuntis at umalis ako pa rin kaya ang parausan ni Ethan? Papayag pa rin kaya ako sa ganoong set up?
Does he still love Sophie kaya ganito pa rin siya hanggang ngayon? Based on what Renz have said, he has different girls every fucking week. He became worst than ever. Mabuti pa noong college alam kong iilan lang kami na ginagawa niyang parausan. Oo, alam kong hindi lang ako. You can slap me for being stupid, pero I can't help it. Sa tuwing aayaw na ako ay isang haplos lamang mula sa kanya ay para akong posporong nauubos. He has that effect on me, dati.
Oo, dati.
