Body For Hire (But Heart's Not For Sale) [Ongoing]

Chapter 2

(Lyra's POV)

Hmm. Busy busyhan kami ng mga classmates ko ngayon regarding sa thesis namin then two months na lang graduation na. I am so excited. Andito kami ngayon sa Library filling some of our thesis' requirements. Then, I felt the sudden urge to pee.

Then, I saw a woman smiling at me. ''So, finally nakita din kita Lyra.'' She said.

''Anika!!!!'' Oo, si Anika to. Ang nag-iisang naging girlfriend ni Angelo.

''Ikaw nga yan Ly. Juskoo! Namiss kita.''

She's making a scene. Bawal pa naman maingay dito. Tumayo ako at hinila siya papalabas ng Department kahit pinagtitinginan na kami ng mga tao kasi daldal pa din ng daldal si Anika. Dinala ko siya sa Botanical Garden malapit lang dito sa Biology Department.

''Bakit ngayon ka lang nagpakita? Angelo's looking for you for the past two years. His Dad and my mother got married last year-

''Madami lang naging mga pangyayari Ly. I've missed you.'' Then she hugged me. She's like my sister. She's a close friend of mine. ''And what are those things? Angelo's changed since the day you left. And you know that I'm helping him on his business eventhough it's not your normal type of a club.'' I said.

''I'm sorry Ly.'' She sobs.

Nilapitan ko siya at niyakap, ''Sssh. It's okay. Gusto mo ba siyang makita? He'll be happy to see you-

''Do you think so?'' She asked.

''Yes. But this time Anika, things have changed. Angelo's more like a serious one since the day you left him ng hindi man lang nagpasabi-

''I have reasons. And by the way-

*Angelo Calling*

I answered the call. ''Oh yes Angelo? What???? How did you know??? Yup...... We're okay now bro... Don't worry! I'll bring her on the club tonight? Are you sure it's okay? Okay, we'll see you later.''

''Angelo?'' Anika asked.

''Yes.'' I looked at Anika. She's really like a doll, no doubt that Angelo's still in love with this girl. But things has changed now.

''Lyra.'' She said while looking on the ground.

''Yes?''

''Mahal ko si Angelo. Pero hindi na kami pwede.'' Naiiyak na sabi nito. What's happening?

''What do you mean?''

She smiled. ''Wala ito. Hindi lang talaga pwede.'' Tumayo ito at lumapit sakin, niyakap niya ako. ''I'm sorry Ly.''

Naguguluhan ako. But still, pinakalma ko muna siya at dinala sa parking lot kung nasaan ang car ko. Since isa lang klase ko now, nagdecide na akong umuwi agad at dalhin si Anika sa club. 5pm nagbubkas ang club. Nakasakay na kami ngayon sa kotse ko. Then, when I'm about to start.

*0917-***-**** calling* Who's this?

I answered the call.

''Hello Lyra.'' Shiiiiit! His voice is familiar.

''I don't know to describe the feeling. But you made last night an unforgettable one. I know you're not the low type of girl. But I'll do my best to have you in my hands by hook or by crook. See you later.'' Then he ended the call.
