ABKB: The Past (Book 2)

I Miss You

Nandito na kami sa Marquee New York na nightclub. People were staring at me, especially girls. But my eyes were glued to one girl, Charlotte Kyrell Montalbo. 

I immediately walked up to the bar and ordered a drink.

"Good evening, sir. May I take your order?" Sabi nung babaeng blonde. I hate how her lips move, yung tipong nang-seseduce. Ang pula pa nga eh.

"3 shots of vodka." I scrolled through Twitter and decided to tweet something.

@RicciRivero06:
Night out at NYC. *insert picture of Marquee nightclub*

Sunod sunod na nag notify yung Twitter ko. I decided to read some of the replies while nag hihintay sa order ko.

@ChRicciFANGIRL: Is that Charlotte I see in the background? Ommooo!! balik na ba kayo?

Oh yeah, nahagip ng camera si Charlotte. Saya. 

@janina.palacio: uy Ccing, ano na? :((

@RicciRivero06: wala pa rin Nina eh, let's give her some time. :)) 

I replied to Janina's reply. I'm pretty thankful na nandito pa rin ang aming mga kaibigan na patuloy pa ring sumusuporta sa'min. 

@ricci052598: have fun babe! 

@liyannx: devastated of what happened between the two of you, Cci. we'll pray for her fast recovery :((

@geneewaliyha: sulitin mo yan Cci! NYC is a great city.

@ynanananana: kaya mo yan Cci, she'll remember you, soon.

@RicciRivero06: thank you Yna. hopefully though. 💕

Sa wakas, dumating na ang in-order kong drinks. Ininom ko yun ng walang tigil. Gusto kong makalimot. Pero tila di gusto ng puso ko. Di ko rin kayang kalimutan ang mga magagandang ala-ala na nagawa namin ni Charlotte. 

Lumipas ang ilang oras ng pagpa-party kasama ang ilang mga kaibigan, I felt bored na. I took a quick glance at my phone and realized na it's still 12:30 AM. Inaantok na ako. I know it's still early for a party goer like me pero, inaantok na talaga ako. 

Lumapit ako kay kuya Prince at akmang magpapa-alam na, pero nauna siyang nagsalita sa akin at sinabing,

"Oh, Ricci. Aalis kana?" 

"Yeah. Inaantok na kasi ako. Mom told me na may lakad daw tayo bukas kaya as much as possible, uwi raw ng maaga." I rubbed my eyes sleepily.

"Alright, alright. Guys, mauuna na daw si Cci na uuwi. Sige na, susunod nalang kami." Kinuha ko na ang bag ko at lumabas ng nightclub. 

As I was riding a cab pabalik sa hotel, nag Twitter nalang ako. I wanna text her pero baka dinelete na niya ang contact ko sa phone niya. Sad. :((

@RicciRivero06: I want you to remember me. I miss you so bad babe, so freaking bad. @charlottemontalbo_

I was about to close my phone nang tumunog ang notifications ko. It was from Twitter. No, it was from Charlotte! It was a direct message. 

@charlottemontalbo_ as much as I want to, di ko talaga matandaan. :(( 

Thank God, kahit yan yung reply nya, kahit negative man yan, at least, she reached me out. That'll make my Christmas though.
