Broken Promises (MayWard) - Completed

Chapter 24

Edward's POV
× × ×

I feel really tired after this long day. Still, I haven't talked to Maymay. I mean, she didn't want to talk to me at all pala. Well, that's life. She needs time for now. Maybe, she really felt bad about what happened. How to undo the past ba? Pagsisisihan ko na ba dapat? To be honest, I don't know what to do anymore.

Kanina nga during the meeting of all the students who had the community project, wala parin. We had the highest evaluation pa ha? I thought she'd somehow pay attention to me already because of our success, but no.

I even tried to make it up to her through my actions like -- that when I waited for her to go up on stage. I even lend my hand to assist her pero ayun, basag din. I stood beside her but she left and went away to Russell's side. How would I even celebrate being exempted in an exam while experiencing such? Weird diba?

That's why I decided, I'm going straight home, as in now na. I walked through the hallways na rin.

"Bro, mamaya ah?" It's Ford pala, who patted my shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I can't come." I answered. Why would I? What's the point?

"Why!? You're a part of the team, bro. It's our success!" He even said. I know, I want to -- but ano, yeah.

"I have something else to do. I'm really sorry." I said, making up a quick excuse. I know her too much kasi - that if I'll go there, she will just kill me with silence. Hindi rin lang kami mag-uusap.

"Okay, sige. Pero ah, pag nagbago isip mo, tell us agad." He said. Hmm. Let's see.

"Alright. Have fun!" I said then walked further.

It's already past 7pm when I saw Kuya Nikko. He's in his car then he passed​ by me while I'm still on my way home. I went somewhere else kasi to have an alone time to think. I guess I needed that so bad. Probably, nahatid niya na rin si Maymay at Ford's house.

When I'm about to enter the gate of our house na, naabutan ko pa siya while he's parking his car on their garage. As I heard that he's about to close their gate naman, he saw me and called me up.

"Edward!" Yeah, it's Kuya Nikko so I'm a bit nervous. For sure, he already knew that Maymay and I are not okay. He knows all of our issues, by the way. Oh God.

"Uh? Yes, Kuya?" I answered, still feeling anxious about the idea.

"Hindi ka daw pupunta sa dinner? Bakit?" He asked.

"Most likely. I know you know why, Kuya." I faked a smile, trying to say that he doesn't have to ask 'cause I know -- he knows we're not okay.

"Alam mo naman na pa-artista yung kapatid ko! Drama lang niya yan. Punta ka na." He said, convincing me even more.

"I'm​ not sure if I could." I said.

"Sige na." He said and I'm surprised. "Favor nalang o? Kahit sunduin mo lang siya para sakin. May lakad kasi ako mamaya eh baka ma-late pagsundo ko sakanya. Mahirap na kasi kung sa iba pa siya sumabay." He added. Whoa. Wait. What?! Why me?

"Uhh. O-okay p-po." I stuttered 'cause I even got more nervous. Still, I said yes. It's Kuya Nikko asking for a favor here. Right? First time.
