My Last Romeo [ON-GOING]

8

"Sa may Sapphire Compound lang." I said. I'm with a total stranger right now but I didn't care, afterall wala namang paki-alam ang mga tao saken.

His brows raised when he heard our compound's name. "You live here?" He curiously asked.

"Yeah." I said. "Itapat mo lang sa mansion ng mga sapphire." I continued.

"Sorry pala ah, naabala pa kita. Di ko lang talaga alam kung anong gagawin ko sa mga oras na yon." I apologized.

Tinignan niya ako. "It's fine, been there done that." he replied.

He seems cold. Emotionless kumbaga.

"Dito lang ako." I said as we reached our house. Bumaba naman ako at nagpasalamat sa kanya.

Everson Sapphire: Ate, san ka na?

I ignored Everson's imessage. Di ko alam pero I headed away to my room. Di ko alam kung anong gagawin ko, ganito pala ang feeling na masaktan.

Andrew Santiago is calling..

Upon seing that bastard's name agad ko namang in-off ang phone ko. I sat down at the edge of my queen-sized bed and started overthinking.

Okay naman kami ah? Saan ba ako nagkulang sa kanya? I gave out all the love I ever had.

-

"Sissy, okay ka lang ba? Di ka kasi bumalik nung umalis ka kanina kaya pinuntahan nalang kita dito." Madison said na naka-upo sa couch ng room ko.

I sigh. "Sissy, si Maria." I said almost hating that name. "They cheated on me." I said and started crying.

"W-what do you mean, cheated?" nag-aalalang tanong nya saken.

"I s-aw them nung pumunta ako ng 7-11, and clearly they're hiding a relationship. Pinaglaruan lang ako ni A-andrew." Maiyak-iyak na sabi ko sa kanya.

Madison quickly approached me when I was really crying. "Tahan na sissy, I know Maria was up to something! kaya nga di ako pumunta ng Singapore with you guys kasi pinapacheck ko gamit ni Maria dito sa bahay," she explained.

"And when I found out that he was Andrew's girlfriend I was really worried. Di ako makapaniwala na magagawa ni Maria to sa'yo." She continued to explain.

"turns out, Andrew needed alot of money para makapagtrabaho sa labas. And when he knew na bestfriend kayo ni Maria, it was the time he took the chance and ask Maria to force you with Andrew."

Di ko na maiwasang umiyak. Ginamit lang pala ako ni Andrew, para lang sa gusto niya at pangarap niya! he's so selfish.

"As soon as my mom heard about it, we gave Maria time para makahanap ng bagong tirahan at trabaho kaya naglalasing siya dahil di niya alam kung saan siya pupunta."

"Sorry, sissy. Di ko sinabi agad, mas mabuti kasi yung ikaw ang nakakita para maniniwala ka, kasi kung ako yon, di ka naman maniniwala sa kagaguhan ni Andrew, diba?" She asked.

I wiped my tears up. "Thank you, Mads. For being here with me, salamat sa lahat." I said.

"That's what bestfriend do right?" she asked and wiped the extra tears that just went out from my eyes. "Magbabayad silang dalawa, Alexa. They will surely live in hell." she said and hug me.

Sana nga.

"Maria, to the guidance now!" Our professor shouted as she saw Maria being late again. I rolled my eyes, buti nga sa kanya.

I saw Maria looked at me but I just raised my eyes to it's second dimension. Akala niya ha? bitch ako.

Mom texted me para sabay na daw kami maglunch. Sinabi ko na sa kanila kagabi kung ano ang nangyari. Mom still couldn't believe sa ginawa ni Maria saken. He fired Andrew up in our agency.

"Hey mom, I'm here." I said trying to be calm. I don't want to look miserable in front of my family. never just because of a guy?

"Papunta na'rin ang mga kapatid mo," she smiled.

"Okay." Sabi ko at umupo na. We're in the newest italian cuisine. Not in Zeke's anymore.

"Hi Tita, I'm here." Sabi ng isang lalaki na pamilyar ang mukha, parang nakita ko na to siya ah?

"Hey, skyler. Take a seat, Alex ans Everson are still heading here." Mom said and smiled sweetly. Who the heck is he?

"Mom, who is he?" I curiously asked. Mom just smiled and gave the 'Skyler' a signal to introduce.

"I'm Skyler Martin Tyler, your mom's model and I'm also a hollywood actor." Bigla naman akong napanga-nga sa sinabi niya.

Itinaas ko ang kilay ko. "Hollywood actor? Bakit di kita kilala?" Pagtataray ko. Natawa naman ng mahina si Mom.

"I don't know, maybe you're just from the 18th centuries." He said coldly but calmly. I can't believe this!

"Mom! look how disrespectful this guy is!" I pointed out Sky.

"Alexa, learn to respect Sky, okay? He's gonna be making endorsements for our modeling agency. Galing pa yan ng NY." Mom explained. I rolled my eyes, di talaga ako makapaniwala.

"Skyler, bro!" Kuya Alex immediately mentioned that annoying guy's name.

"Oh, Alex! Long time no see!" They bro-fisted at each other, sumunod naman si Everson.

Why are they that close? I'm being left behind now...

"Okay since Alexa decided to work at our agency last summer, I guess she can handle Skyler." Mom cleared her throat.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. "What do you mean handle, mom?!" halos napatawa nalang si Everson sa reaction ko. Why are they doing this to me? Alam naman nilang kakabreak-up lang namin ni Andrew!

"Yes, you heard me right, Alexazelle. It's been 15 years since Skyler went back here, so di na niya ganoon ka kabisado ang lugar."

"But Mom! I'm studying! and also, graduating student ako! I need to focus to get those goddamn first place!" I stormed out the cuisine.

"Alexa!" They all screamed.

"Magpapahangin lang." I said.

Why are they rushing me to move on? I still love Andrew, and then there's new one.

  Umupo ako malapit sa garden ng cuisine na'to, infairness ah ang ganda ng interior designs dito. Pang-parelax talaga ang vibes.

Napatingin naman ako sa nagring na phone ko. Si Andrew nanaman,  di ba niya ako titigilan? I answered the call, maybe he just wanted a clousure.

"What do you need?!" I said with anger and rolled my eyes.

He sigh "Alexa, please forgive me pinagsisihan ko na ang ginawa namin ni Maria sa'yo."

"God nakakairita ng pakinggan ang sorry mo, Andrew." Pagtataray ko sa kanya.

"Okay na Andrew, ano bang mahirap intindihin sa I FORGIVE YOU? gusto mo bang itatagalog ko pa? oh PINAPATAWAD NA KITA." Idiniin ko talaga ang mga tagalog na sinabi ko sa kanya.

"It's not what I'm asking, Alexa. Please I want you back." He said, his voice was full in sorrow. But nah, he don't deserve any chances.

"I'm not that cheap, Andrew. Why would I be after you? You hurted me Andrew, always put that up in your mind. I'll never trust you back again." I said and ended up the call.
