How To Love And Be Loved

Chapter 29

#HTLABLMissing

I'm busy working because I have deadlines but he's always texting me and he keeps calling a lot like 24/7.

"Sari, I'm really really sorry. I didn't mean to ditch you last night." He keep on explaining and explaining simula kagabi. Tawag man o text.

He's still on Laguna right know, gusto ko man magalit pero wala akong maramdaman na galit sakanya. At wala naman akong karapatan.

It's his life, he can do whatever he wants. Sino ba naman ako para diktahan siya o pag bawalan.

"I'm sorry." He said, again.

"Lian stop saying sorry. It's okay, I understand. Umuwi ka nalang kapag pwede na." I answered and sighed.

"Are you mad at me?" He asked.

"No. I'm busy, I'll call you later." I ended the call and closed my eyes. Gosh, pano ba ako makakapag focus kung paulit ulit siyang mag so-sorry at paulit ulit naman ang mga tanong sa utak ko.

"Ma'am wag niyo po kalimutan mag lunch." Paalala niya at kumunot naman ang noo ko.

"Hindi po kasi kayo kumain kahapon. I'm just worried baka po magka-sakit kayo." Dagdag pa niya.

"I'm okay, Rhea. Thank you." Sagot ko sakanya at ngumiti.

From: Dwayne Santos

Hi Sari. Hindi kasi sinasagot ni Lian yung messages ko, kindly tell him we have a game tomorrow at school. Dapat last last week pa kaso laging namo-move, so just please tell him.

I just forward Dwayne's message to Lian. It's friday and I can't feel any excitement for the weekend. Parang mas gusto ko pa nga mag trabaho.

When the lunch came, lumabas ako para kumain. It's my first time again to eat lunch without him. Nasanay na kasi ako na kasama siya. It's been 3 weeks since we started being officially part of each other's lives.

Papunta na ako sa isang table ng makasalubong ko si Sam at Xian. "Uy Sari, nandito ka pala. What are you doing here?" Tanong ni Xian.

"Uhm, dito ako nag ta-trabaho sa Alabang, lunch time kaya lumabas ako." Sagot ko.

"Si Lian hindi mo kasama?" Matt asked.

"He's with Peter and Ruth sa Laguna."

"Really? Nag kita kami ni Peter kagabi, kakauwi lang daw niya." So si Lian at Ruth nalang ang nasa Laguna? Tapos hindi man lang niya sinasabi sakin? I sighed and smiled at them.

"Ah, okay." Sagot ko.

"Tara sabay ka na samin." Yaya nila.

"Bakit nga pala kayo nandito?" I asked them.

"I was with Mom, nakacheck in kami sa Acacia for a short vacation." Xian explained.

"Ako naman may dinaanan lang." Sagot naman ni Matt.

"Ah." I answered.

"Nood ka bukas, ah?" Sabi naman ni Xian.

"Uhm, di ako sure."

"Sige na, kasama si Gino bukas." Pilit sakin ni Xian.

"Alam mo ba na balak ni Gino mag aral sa Wilsane? Gusto daw niya lumipat." Kwento ni Matt. Nagulat naman ako dahil alam ko na ayaw niya ng buhay maynila at masaya na siya sa Cavite. Tsaka pano si Tita?
