T.L. Ako Sa'yo

Chapter 67 (Lonely)

Sheena's POV

After spending the entire day going to caves and hiking, we went back to the hostel.

"Whoah, ang saya maghiking. Let's come back here someday." Wika ni Drew.

"We will." Tugon ko as I set the table.

"What's that?" tanong ni Thia.

"Ano pa ba edi wine. I bought it outside. It's different kinds of wines made of fruits. I wanted to try them all." Tugon ko.

Napansin ko si Drew na busy sa phone niya. Kanina pa siya eh. Actually, the whole time sa biyahe pa.

"Ano bang pinagkakaabalahan mo diyan sa phone mo?" tanong ko.

"Just checking my emails." Tugon niya.

"May balita ka na ba kay Arkin?" tanong ko.

"He's not responding to my emails either." Wika ni Drew.

"Don't worry too much. Baka may dahilan siya kung bakit umalis ng hindi nagpapaalam." Wika ko.

"Ano naman?" tanong ni Drew.

"Baka may business lang silang kelangang ayusin." Tugon ko.

Tahimik lang sina Wallace at Thia sa gilid.

"The secretary said they're back there for good." angal ni Drew.

"Teka nga, bakit ka ba apektado?"

"Why wouldn't I be? I'm his friend." Wika niya.

"Don't be too overdramatic and just stop thinking of him. He will come back." Inis na wika ko.

"Actually, nakausap ko si Tauriel kanina." wika ni Thia. Alas, I heard him speak. She was silent the whole time.

"Really? Anong sabi?" tanong ni Drew.

"She said they really left for good."

"But why?" tanong ko.

"Sabi ni Tauriel, Yana will be completely healed doon. She still needs therapies after what happened. And they were also planning to get married there." Wika pa ni Thia.

"Ha?"

"Sabi ko na nga ba, yung Yana na yung na naman eh." Wika ni Drew. "I knew from the first time, she isn't that good to Arkin. I'm sure pinilit na naman niya si Arkin na umalis ng Pilipinas like ten years ago." Wika ni Drew.

We all looked at him.

"So you knew he was leaving for the States ten years ago and you didn't even tell us?" bulalas ko.

I remembered how Thia cried all night when she found out that Arkin left na hindi nagpapaalam sa amin.

Natigilan si Drew.

"I mean, nalaman ko lang din ng last minute." Depensa ni Drew.

"But you should've told us about it! Alam mo ba kung gaano nahirapan si..."

"It's fine. Past is past. Don't blame him." wika ni Thia interrupting me.

"That witch. I knew it, she had two faces." Wika ko referring to Yana. "Ano ba kasing pinag-usapan niyo sa resto nung naaksidente siya?" tanong ko kay Thia.

"Hay naku Sheena, just open the wine. I want to have a drink." Wika ni Thia.
