Find a Way Back (COMPLETED)

Chapter Eight

Chapter Eight

"The Subscriber cannot be reach please try a again later." this is my sixth attempt on contacting Culver. But still he is not answering. He's not replying on my text.

Why Culver? I thought everything is okay between us; he said goodnight to me before he sleep, and that was the most memorable night for me. Pero pag gising ko wala na s'ya, iniwan nya ako mag isa and I saw a note beside me.

I'm sorry but I have to go, you can catch up the next bus, nagiwan na ako ng ticket. I'm sorry if I have to go with out you.

Alam ko naman na wala kaming relasyon pero tama ba na iwanan nya ako? Pero bakit nga ba ako nageexpect? dahil ba may nangyari ay okay na kami? Damn Yasmin! Ngayon ay andito ako kay Selena. Mabuti na lamang at madaling araw din ang alis nila.

Gusto ba gumanti ni Culver? Kung ganti lang din naman nakaganti na sya.

Pasado alas onse na ng umaga ng makarating kami ng Maynila. Hanggang ngayon ay palaisipan pa rin sa akin ang pagiwan ni Culver ni hindi pa rin nya ako tinitext. Nagtext ako sa kanya ng good morning pero hindi sya nagreply.

"Yasmin."

Napaligon ako sa pinto ng apartment ko nakapasok na pala si Iya na hindi ko man lang namamalayan.

"What happen to you? You didn't answer my call." umupo sya sa sofa at sumandal.

"I'm sorry."

"Anyway, I'm here to tell you the good news about Selena, they already apologized na kay tito and tita, and I think na tuloy pa rin ang kasal." masayang balita ni Iya.

"That's good. I will text Selena later." walang gana ko na sagot. Masaya ako para kay Selena. Pero hindi ko rin matatago na dismayado ako sa nangyari sa amin ni Culver.

"Anong ganap? Bakit ang lamya mo mula ng makabalik kayo galing Baler?"

"Wala naman."

"Asus! Ano ang nangyari sa inyo ni Culver? Dali! Kwento mo girl!" tumayo sya at tinapik ang balikat ko.

"Wala, ano ka ba." umingos ako at humiga sa sofa.

"Tell me Yasmin." pamimilit pa ni Iya.

I heaved a sigh afterall. Iya will found it out soon. I tell her what happened to us in Baler.

"Oh! My! I don't want to be nega but... 'di ba Culver has already a gf? the one he brought in reunion."

I nod.

"Peste! Iyang Culver na yan after you give yourself to him iniwan ka na lang? Ano 'yun gumaganti?"

"Pwede." I bitterly laughed. Iya hugged me at hindi ko mapigilan ang umiyak.

Culver deceived me.

"Tahan na..." Iya said.

I know that I hurted him five years ago. But is that an enough reason to hurt me too? I love him... and will always be.

Four months has passed. But it seems like a yesterday. Selena parents approved their relationship and the wedding will push through. It will be a simple garden wedding with only closed family and friends will be invited.

And yes, Iya and I are part of entourage. What scares me now is the possibility that Culver and I will met again. And it's not impossible. He is the best man.

How can I act in front of him?

I still feel the pain. Baka masampal ko sya pag nakita ko na sya. How will I act? Makikipagplastikan ba ako?
