Best Friend Goals: Puzzle of the Heart

Chapter 26

Halos kagigising ko lang, for sure yari nanaman body clock ko neto since nagising ako ng 9pm. I went downstairs to get something to eat, pagdating ko ng kitchen andun si ate. She just finished talking to someone on her phone and she look worried.

Camille: ate are you okay?

Ate Yso: yeah

She just look at me as if she wanted to say something but debating whether to say it or not

Camille: what??

Before she answer my question, she sighed loudly. While waiting for her I fix something for me to eat and drink.

Ate Yso: I just got a call from Josef

Camille: and? What was it this time? If that was the issue with Julie, I'm done with that ate, the girl need to get a grip.

Ate Yso: no, it wasn't about her

Camille: what was it about then?

Ate Yso: Raymond is in the hospital

Natigilan ako sa pagkain ko, hindi ko alam kung tama ba yung pagkakarinig ko sa sinabi ni ate.

Camille: what??

She sighed again and seated in front of me

Ate Yso: nasa mall show daw sila, during meet and greet may gusto daw magpa-picture, when they are about to take a picture bigla na lang daw nag collapse. Sabi daw ni Mark at Marlon namumutla na daw si Raymond after nung performance. Eh alam mo naman yun work kung work. Ilang araw na daw sumasama ang pakiramdam. Lagi kayo magkausap, right? Wala ba siyang nabanggit sa'yo?

Hindi ko alam anong iisipin ko. Ilang araw ng masama pakiramdam niya?? Bakit wala naman siya sinasabi sa akin eh every night naman kami magkausap. Sinabi ko naman kasi sa kaniya na he does not have to talk tome almost every night lalo naman alam ko na pagod din siya. Feeling ko tuloy kasalanan ko na nagkasakit siya. I want to go home pero alam ko hindi pwede since I still have some work to finish.

Ate Yso: Cams... CAMILLE!!

If she didn't shout my name hindi ko pa mapapansin na kanina pa niya ko tinatawag. I just look at her sadly and blankly pero knowing my sister she still knows what I want.

Ate Yso: you wanted to go home?

I nodded at her before I speak

Camille: pero I know naman I can't. I can't just pack up and leave

Ate Yso: why not??

Camille: I still have work to.... what??

I look at my sister bewildered. The way she asks me tells me that she didn't mind if she'll cancel the rest of my remaining  schedule.

Ate Yso: I thought you wanted to stop acting since you wanted to stay in the Philippines.. so why bother?

Camille: what??

Ate Yso: all I'm saying is I don't mind cancelling the rest of your schedule here. Ako na bahala mag explain sa kanila, isa pa dalawa na lang naman yun. Yung interview and photoshoot with vogue magazine maybe you can do it in the Philippines instead na dito, since sabi naman nila okay lang sa kanila.

Camille: really ate??? Seryoso ka???

Ate Yso: yes. Kaya kung ako sa'yo bilisan mo na dyan and get ready. I got you a 12am flight.
