Book 1: Unchanged Hearts

XVII

Tumaas ang kilay ni Jewel

"why because of that girl? "

"yes because of her she changed me "

"oh no she didn't changed you! I changed you! Nung umalis ako nag iba kana it's because of me! Don't you remember? We promised each other once I came back we will be together again "

"you're right Jewel I told you that once but that was just before ,everything changed"

Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko tumayo ako at hinarap si Jewel laking gulat naman ni Matthew na nasa harap na nila ako

" once you let someone go before. it's hard to bring them back again. isa nalang Jewel pag napuno ako tiyak hindi mo magugustuhan ang gagawin ko "

Saka ako lumayo sakanila

"pak!  Ganern ang taray mo dun girl!"

" Evangeline wait!"

Hindi ko siya nilingon galit parin ako sakanya

"Baby wait"

Nagsi-taasan ang mga balahibo ko ng marinig ko yun pero hindi ko parin siya pinansin

Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at sinimulang hulihin ang mga mata ko

" I'll explain everything okay?"

"may meeting ka pa diba you go now"

Tumalikod ako

" I told you you're more important! I could cancel every meeting that I have  just for you please try to listen to me now!"

"talk to me later Matthew I'm busy "

Saka ko na tinuluyang putulin ang usapan namin at sumakay na sa sasakyan ni Brittany

" anong drama yun girl?"

" wala yun "

" desperada na masiyado yang Jewel na yan ha? Nako! Nako! Nanggigigil ako sakanya!"

"shh! Brit stop it please? I'm trying to calm down"

Mabilis akong nag lakad pa loob ng office 
"Miss.Eve  pinapabigay ni Sir-"

" pakibalik nalang sakanya"

"pero Miss.Eve baka pagalitan ako ni Sir.Matthew "

Kinuha ko yung bouquet of flowers na pinapabigay niya

"Is he in his office?"

" opo he cancelled all the meeting today"

Dali dali akong pumunta sa office niya at binigay sakanya yung mga bulaklak

"I don't need these Matthew nag mumukha ka lang guilty"

Tumalikod ako at aalis na sana ng niyakap niya ako sa likod

"This is our first fight isn't it?"

"what are you talking about?"

"I'm sorry okay? Jewel texted me that she was with you and ask me if I could join you two but I didn't know that she was just lying"

Napasinghap ako

"what If she'll do everything just to break us apart?"

"that's not gonna happened"

" what if nga!"

Yumakap siya ng mahigpit mula sa likuran ko

"how could I lose you? I'd lose my life if I lost you "

I felt that he kissed me in the back of my head

"I love you Evangeline very much "

"  I love you more Matthew"
