Chapter 21: Not hiding, just reflecting

ODETTE'S POV

Psh. Nagpunta ako dito para magbakasyon! Hindi para lecturan netong baklang to. Echusera! Pabalikin ba ko agad? Ayun, ayaw akong tigilan? Edi sinapak ko.

Baklang bakla ang lola mo! Mas malakas daw ang impact ng sapak ko kesa sa sapak ni Vince dati? Ugok din to eh.

So, here I am in his house, chillin' watchin' TV while he's in the kitchen, preparing food for us.

*KRIIIIIIING*

Oh? Who could this be now?

Gerald calling…

Ah, siguro another update.

Remember? Sya lang nakakaalam kung nasan ako.

[Dude.]

"Yo? Sup there?"

[Dude, Jin told everyone he saw you in the Airport, going to Hong Kong or Australia. So yeah.]

WHAAAAAT?! Fckyou Jin. Please die now? You gave everyone a hint!

[One more thing. Vince find you everywhere the first night he knew you're missing. He also do fell asleep in the Piazza.]

Oh gosh! He did? Pero duh. What if friendly concern lang?

"What else?" I asked like a boss!

[Suko na ko Od. Di ko na kayang magsinungaling sa mga to. Tangina dinededma ako eh. Pati si Aly. So yeah, I told them you went to Josh.]

Isa ka pang fckyou! Walang kwenta. Nakakainis.

Then suddenly, Josh went out of the kitchen with a really unpredictable face. Di ko ma-figure out kung bad news ang sasabihin neto o nangaasar lang o normal lang?

"I'll call you back." I told Gerald.

"Girl. I've got a bad news." Josh said in his zombie tone.

I walked neared to him.

"What is?" I asked.

"I'm sure you'll be wanting to go out."

So here we are in a mall of course here in Australia. What is this guy up to?

Kanina pa sya weird eh. And now we're acting lovers because you know, because of his confidential identity!

"Od, I really have nothing to do with this, ok? As in, hands off! I swear!" yan kanina pa sya ganyan. Para bang may isisisi sa kanya maya maya? Playing safe?

"GRRR! JOSH! ANO BA KASING PROBLEMA MO?! KANINA KA PA AH?!" I shouted kahit pa pagtinginan kami. Nakakairita na eh.

"Od, can you tell me you're real reason why are you here? Are you hiding or something?" he straightly asked as we continued walking.

Hiding? San naman ako mag-tatago? Kanino?! I'm not hiding! I'm reflecting!

"Actually Josh, I came here to think." I started my calm side.

He dragged me in a cheap coffee shop but good enough for a sharing session. We ordered coffees first.

"I don't know if I would still hold on, Josh. He asks me to fight and win for him. But he shows a lot of proofs that he's having a new life with her girlfriend, so the hell how can I hold on?" I said.

"But, Od, you should believe him. You should--"

"You have no idea how much pain I'm enduring because of those two words! And now that I've heard he have plans with Nie for their future, I just felt like giving up." I said, followed by a sip on my coffee.
