The Forgotten Promise

Still Ken Maximo's Pov

As what I expected. She's still the same. Her voice makes me shiver. The angry tone I've missed, I can hear the click of her tongue.

'I'm not an obsessed freak but I just love to hear it. Every word she say is like a melody to my ear.

I hang up. I can't control what I'm feeling right now. My stomach churns but not the bad way its more like because of excitement or happiness.

'I can't wait to see you again my queen.'

Peep! Peep!

"Kainisiiisssss!!!!"

Kung kailan naman nagmamadali ako saka naman nagka traffic.

I am now in the middle of a war. War of metal transportation devices. Add with it the heat coming from the radiant sun even its so early in the morning. I've called my assistant if ever I will came late, he must start the meeting at once.

"I give up!" I hit my head hard in the stirring wheel and it made a great impact to my forehead.

"Ow!~" I whined. I sometimes do these careless and clumsy movements that made me regret doing it.

I've got a call from my assistant that he will start the meeting in ten minutes. I just told him I can't make it 'cause of the great traffic.

I look at my watch and its already 8:00 in the evening, and still traffic. Our clients came at 7 and the meeting will start at exactly 7:30. But here I am, stuck in the middle of metal junks.

"Jesus have mercy! Please!!!???" I think even if I scream out my last breathe it wont work.

Time is ticking.
Moments pass by.
I see you smiling.
Looking up in to the sky.
I am afraid on what I'll see,
are you mad or
you will be happy? _________________________________________

Its been hours but I still don't see her. Maybe she already knew that I am here.

Tss!

"Is there something wrong sir?" My assistant ask.

"No. Nothing." I continue listening to the guy in front of us. I am with the other investors that helps the company wherein she worked for the past years until now.

Maybe...maybe...

I'm in my emo state when the door blammed open. It almost fell off.

"I'm so sorry I'm late!" A brunette came in a rapid motion. She put down her bag and smoothly caress her coat and sleeves.

"Okay. So where were we?" She sweetly smile at us then our eyes met.

After the meeting I quickly gather my things and skip the chit chats.

I don't know why but I feel so nervous right now. This feeling started nung nagkatitigan kami nung gwapo na investor namin.

"Bakit parang pamilyar siya?"

I know I am all alone but I can feel someone's following me. I walk faster but still, I can feel its presence. At the turn I plan to capture him, or her.

I grab the collar of his clothing and pinned him hard against the wall.

"What the heck do you want?! Why're you followin' me?!" I saw his pain crawl against his face. I think I overdo it. But NO!

"Speak!" I tighten up my grip.

"Oow! Okay! Please!" He squirmed.

Wait. He's voice is somewhat...familiar?

"I'm sorry okay?" He glance at me. His eyes. His eyes give me the chills. Like I know him before. But who...

"You don't remember me don't ya?" He smiled sweetly.

I know that smile.

"W-what do y-you mean?" I loosen up his hands. I took a few steps backward but still looking straight in his eyes. So did he.

"W-what do you m-mean?" Shocks! My vocabulary's only limited to "W-what do you m-mean?"

"You don't remember me Sha?"

Sha?

Isa lang ang tumatawag sa akin ng pangalan na yan. But it can't be! He---

Tan, Santiago, Gatchalian, Co, Gonzales, Whitfield, McKinley, Verzosa, Tuzon, Marquesa, Bueneventura, Sanford, Roswell, Monteverde, Kozume, Edson, Feliciano, Castro, Hughes, Smith, Joaquin, Yang, Noto, Lewis

"What the heck." Pabulong kong sabi. Ngumiti naman siya. Lord bakit ba nakaktunaw yung ngiti niya.

Pero panong ang nerd na kababata at bestfriend ko na halos di makita ang mukha dahil sa brace at napakalaking glasses.

Gulong gulo pa din ako. Napakabilis ng mga pangyayari at hindi ako makahabol. Ngayon lang ako naging slow.

"Sha? Why are you so silent?" Even him looked so confused, no, he looked so nervous.

"I'm sorry but I don't know who is Sha. Excuse me sir." Mabilis akong umalis at hindi pinansin ang lalaking tumatawag sa pangalan ko.

Hindi sa tumatakas ako. Pero kailangan ko munang makapagisip at unawain kung ano ang nangyayare.

"Kumalma ka Sha. Kalma lang. Wag kang magpanick." Pagkakalma ko sa sarili.

"Sha!" Now baliktad na. I'm the one who is pinned against the wall. Both hands holding me tight in both my shoulders.

"You need to listen to me. Please Sha." He begged. Tears fell from my eyes as my lips shivers not from fear but from confusion and nervousness.

"Sha, I am back." He smile at me with his sweetest smile right before my eyes. Then he draws near. Hanggang sa magtagpo ang aming mga labi.

Its been a long time since that night. Where have you been, my old friend?
