Why Can't It Be? (Bachelorette Series 5)

Chapter 21

Chapter Twenty-one

"Cheers para sa pagbabalik ni Key!" One of the triplets cheered as she raised her glass.

All of her friends raised their glasses.

"Welcome back Key!" They all chorused.

Napangiti siya habang pinagmamasdan ang mga kaibigan. Night out like this makes everything back to normal. She missed them, she missed this.

And she almost lost them because of her idiot decision to end her life. But she's given a second chance to live again and she won't put it into waste.

"You seem happy." Untag ni Sierra sa kanyang tabi.

Nakangiti niyang nilingon ang kaibigan. "I am. I'm happy I still got you girls no matter what. I'm happy my memories were back. I'm happy that i'm given a second chance to live."

"Didn't it cross your mind that it's better if you didn't gain your mories back?" Sierra asked out of nowhere.

Good thing they are on the vip room, they don't need to deal with the loud booming music.
"May panahong naisip ko iyon pero mas mabuti ng bumalik lahat. That defines who I am. Kahit pa ang daming pangit na memories."

"They happened to teach you a lesson."

Tumango siya. "Opo, ate." She joked.

Nangingiting umiling ito.

"Huwag mo ng uulitin yon Key ha!" Sabat ni Ianna. Kaya napalingon siya sa kaibigan.

"Imagine our faces when we saw your so called suicide note!"

She smiled sheepishly and did her peace sign.

"And the Key we know, is really back." Lj smiled as she look at her hand.

"Your lucky you're given a second chance to live. I hope you won't repeat acts like that again." Sermon naman ni Leian.

"Oo na po. I learned my lesson. At, hindi ko na maiisip gawin ang bagay na iyon. Never again." She assured them.

"Dapat lang!" One of the triplets butted in.

"Hindi ko alam kung anong magagawa ko sa Chord na iyon kapag hindi ka nakaligtas." The other one threatened.

"Let's not talk about it. My chapter with him is finished." She waved her hand dismissively.

Tinaasan siya ng kilay ni Erin. "Talaga ba? You were so cozy back when you got that amnesia."

"Exactly. That time, I do not have an idea that I loathed him. But things are different now." She smiled. "Don't worry, I have accepted everything that has happened. We aren't the one for each other." She shrugged.

"You sound like Therine, back to those days." Lj grinned.

Napatingin siya sa nakangiting si Therine. She looks blooming. Iba na talaga pag in love.

"Naisip ko din ang mga bagay na iyan." She said demurely. "But look at us now." She smiled.

"Iba naman kasi yung kaso niyo." Rason niya.

"He talked to me."

Agad siyang napalingon kay Sierra. "Huh?"

"He talked to me and asked for my permission to be with you. He's so persistent kahit na binalaan ko na siya na sa huli, ganito ang mangyayari. But he didn't mind. And he promised not to take advantage of your situation. Na hindi niya sasamantalahin ang pagkawala ng memorya mo para mapasagot ka."

And you're very much aware of that. Sinabi yan sa'yo ni Chord ng ilang beses!  Shouted the back of her mind. Pero binalewala lang niya iyon. Manigas ang bahaging iyon ng kanyang utak.
