Half Of My Heart

He's Back

NOTE: While you guys are reading I want you guys to try and listen to the song Tunay Na Ligaya by Enrique Gil. Parang bagay kasi yung kanta sa chapter na eto eh.
Hehe! At that's what I was listening to when I was writing this! :) ENJOY!

He turned around after he bought the ice cream and his heart sunk on what he saw. In distance, he saw Enchong and Kim eating ice cream together and laughing. Xian's world fell like it fell apart and he just stood there and doesn't know what to do. His heart sunk and he felt something in his stomach. It feels like he's about to throw up. Jealousy rised and he just wants to go there and punch Enchong but he saw the smile on Kim's face. He doesn't want to ruin it and he doesn't want Kim to get mad at him. Kim and Enchong got up from where they are sitting and started walking away. Xian who was standing there went to the opposite direction and threw his ice cream in the garbage. He wasn't hungry anymore, he wants to go home and lock himself in the bedroom.
"Xian! There you are! What took you so long?" Patrick said.
"Sorry. Patrick, I'm gonna go home. I don't feel so well." Xian said with a gloomy face.
"O sige! See you next time na lang! Feel better!" Patrick said and Xian walked away from him.

Kim.
"Hi Enrique!" Kim smiled, "Here. We got some for you!" Kim handed Enrique a cone of ice cream.
"Thank you! So Kim, tutulongan mo na ba ako?" Enrique asked.
"O sige! Tara!" Kim said and started looking through the clothes. She got him a few shirts and new pants that can fit perfectly to the shirts she got him and they also bought some new shoes.
"Teka! I'm the one who's going to set up the date, okay?" Kim said.
"Sige! Salamat talaga ha! I owe you!" Enrique smiled. Enchong went home early that night and Enrique decided to drop off Kim at her house.

Xian.
Xian was laying down on his bed thinking about the memories Kim and him had before. He went out of the balcony and looked at the view and thinking he should have not left her and this would not be happening between them. He went inside again and punched the wall to let his anger out.
"Tanga ka! Tanga ka!" He said to himself, "Bakit ba iniwan mo siya! Duwag!" He added.
Tears started running through his cheeks and he slid down on the floor; crying his eyes out.

"Hello?" Maja answered her phone the next morning, "XIAN?!" Her voice got higher.
"Hi Maja!"
"O, napatawag ka!"
"Pwede ba tayo mag meet?"
Maja got confused at first, "Huh? Paano?"
Xian laughed a little, "I'm back here in the Philippines."
"Ohhh! O sige!" Maja said and they both decided to meet at a small coffee shop.
Later that day, Maja and Xian meet at the coffee shop they said they are going to meet.
"Xian! You are back. Why didn't you tell me?" Maja said.
"I didn't tell anyone." Xian said.
"Oh. O what do you want to talk about? Kung si Kim, hindi ko alam nangyayari sa kanya."
"Bakit?" Xian got confused.
"Hindi kami magkasundo ngayon. Since you left she's changed. She never hang out with us anymore and she even told us we were annoying her, but we were just trying to help her." Maja explained.
"Alam mo ba kung sila ni Enchong?" He asked nervously.
"Hindi ko alam. Pero we saw them together many times, they even ate at this romantic restaurant and that made Erich so mad."
"Ang dami pala nangyayari dito..."
"Oo nga. Parang ang whole barkada broke apart! Lauren is away, sina Enrique at Enchong nandoon kina Kim lagi at kami naman ni Erich at Matt hindi nagpaparamdam sa kanila at ikaw naman nandoon sa States." Maja said feeling sad and she knows she misses her best friend already and even the whole barkada, "I miss our fun time already."
"Ako nga rin eh. Miss na miss ko na si Kim pero break na kami wala nako may ma gawa." Xian sighed deeply, "At how's her business pala?"
"Ayun. Narinig ko okay narin at nandoon lagi sina Enrique at Enchong nag e-entertain sa kanya."
"Pwede ba dalhin mo ako doon?" Xian gave her a smile.
"O sige!" Maja said and they both decided to drive ang go to Kim's coffee shop.
Xian and Maja got to the coffee shop when they saw Kim, Enrique and Enchong laughing together outside. Kim gave them a hug before they left and went inside the coffee shop.
"She seems happy." Xian said.
"Siguro. Pero alam ko yan si Kim. Tinatago niya yung feelings niya." Maja said.

Kim.
Kim was fixing some utensils under the counter and her shop was pretty busy that day.
"Excuse me, miss?" A familiar voice said.
Kim sighed and got up but hit her head in the counter, "OW!" She groaned.
"Are you okay?!" Again the familiar voice speak.
"Yes. May I help yo--" Kim's eyes widened on what she saw. She cleared her throat, "Umm.. Yes sir?" She asked pretending she doesn't know him.
"Kim..." He said softly.
"Um..." Kim cleared her throat again, "KRISTEN?" She called Kristen from the back, "Can you handle this? I have to get something at the back."
Kim said and went on the back to go through the back door way. She was sneaking through the side of the shop when...
"Kim, ba't mo ba ako iniiwasan?" He asked.
"Ano ba gusto mo sakin?!"
"Ikaw! Ikaw lang..." Xian looked at her in the eyes. Kim turned around and walked away from him but Xian tried to stop her, "Kim.. please. Can we talk?"
"No! Can't you see I'm busy?! Sa ibang araw na nga lang!" Kim said.
"Talaga? How about tomorrow?"
"Hindi pwede."
"How about in the weekend?"
"Hindi rin pwede!" Kim crossed her arms.
"E kailan?"
"Wait. Ano yung date ngayon?" Kim asked.
"June 9, 2012." Xian answered.
"Well, sa June 9, 2026! Che!" Kim said and stuck her tounge out before walking away from him.
"KIM!" Xian called but Kim never stopped on her tracks. She went inside the coffee shop and Xian stood there so confused on what just happened.
Xian sighed and turned around just in time to see Enrique and Enchong. He turned around and started walking fast but they caught him, "XIAN?! XIAN!" Enrique called.
Xian stopped on his tracks, "Enrique? What's up bro?" Xian smiled and gave him a high five, "Enchong! Kamusta?" He smiled but felt a little jealousy on Enchong.
"Ok naman. Kailang ka pa dumating?" Enrique asked feeling so happy that his friend is back.
"Kahapon."
"So, dito ka na permanent?" Enchong asked.
"Yep!" Xian smiled.
"That's great!" Enrique and Enchong said, "O, teka. Tara kina Kim! Treat kita!" Enrique said.
"Umm... eh..."
"Basta tara na!" Enchong and Enrique dragged Xian into the coffee shop of Kim.
Kim was in the computer near the cashier when she saw the three boys went in her shop, "Oh great! Nandito na ang tatlong unggoy!" Kim said to herself but Kristen heard her.
"Ma'am, hindi naman silang unggoy! Ang cute nilang tatlo nga eh!" Kristen said.
Kim gave her a confused look, "Kristen, doon ka nga sa loob!" Kim said.
"Hi Kim!" Enrique smiled.
Kim just gave him a forced smile. "O Xian! Order ka nang kahit ano! Treat ko!" Enrique said.
"Kahit ano?" Xian smiled.
"Oo."
"Siya!" Xian pointed at Kim and Kim gave him a surprised look.
"HOY! Hindi ako nandyan sa menu!" Kim said.
"E nandyan o!" Xian pointed at her name on the title.
"Title yan! CHE!" Kim said and called Kristen, "Kristen, ikaw na nga mag umisikaso dito sa tatlong unggoy!" Kim said and went at the back.

After a few hours...
Kim went back in the counter and saw Xian and Kristen flirting with each other. She felt a little jealousy inside of her but she just let it go. She sighed and went by Kristen, "Kristen, diba may trabaho ka? Ako na dito." Kim said.
Xian gave her a smile, "O, what are you smiling for?" Kim asked.
"Wala."
"Nasaan na sina Quen at Chonggo?"
"Umuwi na!"
Kim's eyes widened, "E bakit nandito ka pa?"
"Hindi ba pwede?" Xian gave her those look that he knows she's gonna melt.
Kim looked away, "Hindi! Umuwi ka na nga!"
"Ayoko!" Xian crossed his arms in his chest, "Dito ako hanggang closing time!"
Kim scratched her head in annoyance, "Eto talaga!" She said to herself.
Xian sighed, "Fine! But I'll be back tomorrow!" Xian winked and walked out the coffee shop.
"Urgh!!" Kim groaned.
Later that night, all of her employees went home already and Kim decided to stay a little bit in her coffee shop but after she did all her work she decided to lock the coffee shop and just go home. She was locking the coffee shop when a guy went behind him,
"Give me your bag!" He said.
Kim got nervous and slowly gave her bag, "Halika dito!" The guy said.
"Bigay mo sakin alahas mo!"
"HELP--" Kim shouted but the guy covered her mouth and she started struggling.
"HOY!" Kim closed her eyes and she felt a wind came by her and by the time she opened her eyes the guy that was trying to rob her was running away; Xian was standing there trying to see of he will come back. Xian looked at her and gave her a hug while she hugged him back tightly.
"Okay ka lang?" Xian asked and Kim nodded.
Xian drove her home that night and Kim has been nothing but quiet. By the time they got to her house, she got down from the car and so did Xian,
"Kim..."
She turned around to face him, "Ok lang ako. Salamat ulit." Kim smiled slightly and opened her front door.
"Sige.." Xian said and drove home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
That night, Kim was laying on her bed trying to think about what happened earlier and how Xian saved her. She had a smile on her face but she doesn't even know. Xian who was looking at the stars was trying to think about Kim and they both know they still really love each other...
