We Got Married

CHAPTER EIGHT

CHAPTER EIGHT

The week passed by like a blur. Next thing I know, Friday nanaman.

Walang natutulog sa Masters. Sa kanya-kanya kaming kwarto. Minding our own business. Kung tigang ako ng isang linggo, ewan ko si Xander. Pero wala naman akong naririnig na umuungol.

Nakakabwiset nung weekend dahil either walang Xander or hindi nya ko pinapansin. Leche lang diba. Kaming dalawa na nga lang ang tao sa bahay di pa kami nagiimikan.

Then ang routine naman buong linggo is gising, kain, ligo, bihis, alis, trabaho, uwi. Walang hi or hello na nagaganap saming dalawa. Ewan ko dito kay Xander, medyo mataas din ang pride eh. Scratch that, SOBRANG taas ng pride.

Kelangan ba ako unang mag-approach eh siya nga tong mali? The worst part is that he’s ignoring me while I’m ignoring him. Ugggghhh!!! He is so frustrating!!!!

Nasa office na ko, narinig ko na lang na may dumating sa cubicle ko. Pagtingin ko, si Aries pala. What’s he doing here this time?

\

“Hi!” greet nya.

“Um... Hi?” sagot ko.

“So are you free for lunch this time?” tanong nya sakin.

 Really? Kung kelan naman ako bad mood tsaka nya itatanong sakin yan?

“Uhh yeah, sure, I think” sabi ko sa kanya.

“Well then, tara?”

Tumayo na ko’t sumunod sa kanya. We left the office and he drove somewhere. I don’t even know where we’ll eat lunch.

I absentmindedly followed Aries, he was talking but I wasn’t listening.

Nakakaasar!! Why am I thinking of Xander at the moment?!

Honestly, iniisip ko kung bakit di nya ko pinapansin. Kung bakit hanggang ngayon di nya ko kinakausap!

Is he fucking someone else? My heart dropped at that thought.

Pinaparamdam nya ba sakin kung pano pag wala siya? Well, it’s working!

Ano toh, paunahan kaming bumigay, is that it?! Eh bakit feeling ko ako unang bibigay?!

My God!!! I don’t sound me!!! Why am I even concerned?! Goddamnit!!

“Hello Andy, you there?” tanong nya sakin.

That kinda snapped me out of my thought.

“I’m sorry?” balik nung atensyon ko sa kanya.

“Your mind was floating. It’s obviously somewhere else” sabi nya sakin.

“Sorry, ang dami ko kasing iniisip eh” apologize ko.

“I can tell. Listen Andy...”
