My Creed that Got Away

Chapter 14

I went to my condo in Serendra. Buti na lang umalis na yung umuupa dati. Surely, Creed is still in my house. Ayoko na magpakita sa kanya! I'll do my best to get away from him. Pag may lakad siguro ang barkada, might as well not join 'cause Creed would be there.

All my life, I am showered with everything that I need. My parents never deprived me. If I want to travel abroad, I'll be shocked the next day dahil may ticket na sa study desk ko. If I want to be with them, they'll skip meetings just for me. My siblings are also obedient and loving kaya hindi kami madalas mag away. Way back in college, I ask them if I could have a car? Nagtanong pa lang ako kung pwede, hindi ako nanghingi o pinilit sila, then the next day I saw car keys beside my bed. Geeeeeez! They bought me Crimson Subaru XV. Yeah, matagal na ang Subie ko. When they all passed away, I sold their cars but not mine and our spare car. Alangan naman itambak ko lang ang 4 na sasakya nila di ba? Noong mga nag aaral pa kami ng mga kapatid ko, each of us has car. As in! Pero we're disciplined. We never went home late. Sumusunod kami sa curfew nila Mom and Dad. Trust is so important in our family.

I had Creed, for 3 years. Creed and I met in an orphanage. That time, his Dad was the mayor of Manila. So, he is into charity works and the like. Akala ko noong una, pakitang tao lang kasi nasa politics ang Dad niya but mali pala ako. Even before his family stepped into politics, binata pa lang daw ang Dad nito ay bumibisita na talaga sila doon. It has became a tradition in their family na once to twice a month ay bisitahin ang mga bata.

Ako naman, same. My Mom loves to reach out to others lalo sa mga kids. I was 10 years old when I came with her there and since then, palagi na ako sumasama kay mommy because I also came to have playmates and friends. Mababait sila and mapagmahal.

I was 20 years old when I met Creed. I just graduated from La Salle that time. Noong mga panahon din na iyon ako naging mag isa na lang sa buhay. My relatives are resided abroad. As in lahat. My friends are also far away. So yes, Creed was my only friend. Tapos ayun, he introduced me to his squad. Konti lang ang girs, 4 lang plus ako, so 5 lang kami na mga babae. Ilan silang boys? 8? Ang dami grabe! The boys are overprotective sa amin. Daig pa mga daddy namin eh! Until, Josh fell in love with Krizze and Ricci to Marie.

And I was to Creed.

WAS. PAST.

I love him.

I still love Creed.

But...

Everything's different now. Malay ko ba baka sila pa ni Maxine. Eh the last time I saw then, ang sweet sweet nila. It was as if Creed and I didn't happen.
