Your One True Love Book 2

Chapter 12

Ang gulo lang ng mga pangyayari ngayon. Walang nasunod kahit isa sa mga sarili kong plano. Gaya ng sinabi ni Camille na magsarili muna daw kami, Girl time kumbaga. Pero parang nararamdaman ko na ung gustong mangyari ni Camille.

"Abby." Pagtawag nya sa akin para maputol ang iniisip ko.

"Sino ba talaga?"

"Ang alin? Sino? Teka." Naguguluhan ako.

"Alam kong si Daniel ang mahal mo pero talo ka na. Kitang kita mo un. Abby, bilang bestfriend mo, gusto kong tulungan kang makaahon. Wag na nating ipilit siya? Please?" I am speechless. Bakit ang sakit? Ang sakit pa rin na mismong manggaling sa kanya. I knew it. Ito ang continuation ng usapan namin kanina pero..

"Camille."

"Tapos etong si Vince, pinapaasa mo lang ba sya? Noong una, tawang tawa pa ako kay Vince nang malaman na may feelings na pala sya sayo because of all the people, si Vince pa na sa ilang taon namin magkakilala, hindi sya seryoso sa mga ligaw ligaw na yan. Pero ngayon, I can't imagine na kaya nyang ipabugbog ang sarili nya para sayo. Abby, napafrustrate ako sa lovelife mo and..."

"Camille, please stop." I am crying right now. Nasasaktan ako. Bakit ako ang nagmumukhang sinisisi nya? Ako ba ang may kasalanan ng lahat ng ito?

"Sorry Abby pero... ikaw ang bestfriend ko. Kaibigan ko din sila. Ayoko na maulit ang nangyari nung last sem. Please Abby, this time make your decision. Choose Vince and let Daniel go but if you would still  choose Daniel, please let Vince be free from you. Wag mo na sya paasahin dahil mabuting tao si Vince. He deser..."  This is too much.

"Sorry. It is all my fault." Agad kong pinunasan ang luha ko para umalis at tumakas sa realidad na pinarealize sa akin ni Camille.

When I was about to take my step, she holds my hand. "Abby, please. Face your weakness. Andito ako. Hindi ka nag iisa. I want to help you."

"Ang sakit Camille. Ang sakit." I can't help but cry. Cry all the pain I have inside.

"Sorry kung sinabi ko lahat sayo un. Pero nahihirapan na din kase ako na makita ka na nahihirapan. Alam kong mahirap ang kinalalagyan mo ngayon kaya i let go na natin ang dapat i let go and we will start today. Okay?" Those are Camille's words which comforts me.

"Thank you Camille. Thank you for being there for me. Always."

"That is what are best friends are for? Right?" I manage to smile and nod.

"So, san tayo later? Our house or yours?" Tanong ni  Camille.

"Ahhhh. Yours?"

"Sure ka? Papayagan ka ni Tita and  Tito?"

"Oo naman. Sabihin ko lang na group study tayo. They trust me and they also trust you as long as no Mark? Hahaha. Sorry."

"Of course, no Mark later. And speaking! Geez. Malamang, sinumbong ako ni Vince kay Mark na nagboboys hunting. Hindi nya ako tinetext pala. Naku. Naku. Lagot ka talaga sa akin Vince." And that made me laugh.

"Sige na. Hanapin mo muna si Baby Loves mo. Basta hintayin mo ako sa bahay nyo. 7 pm." Paalam ko kay Camille at naglakad na palayo.

"Ay wait, san ka papunta? Di ka sama sakin? Lunch tayo?"

"Hindi na. Hindi pa ako nagugutom. Library lang ako."

"Okay. Text me when you need me ah."

"Will do. Love you."

"Love you too."

And as mentioned, nagdiretso na ako sa library.

Umupo ako sa vacant table, kinuha ang isang libro sa may shelves at nagbasa.

Ano ba tong nabasa ko? Wala akong naintindihan. Because my mind is traveling somewhere.

I sigh.

I need a time for myself. I need to think. I need to sort myself. I need to. I really need to.

I sigh again.

Makakailan kaya akong buntong hininga ngayong araw na ito?

I need to have my desicion firm.

I need to let go of him.

My thoughts faded as my phone rings from my bag.

Kinuha ko ito to check who is calling.

"Vince."

Speaking of Vince.

I noticed you even before pa. But I never expected na we will have this connection. A close connection.

The call ended without me answering it.

Why are you calling?

Parang I do not want to talk to anybody muna after Camille said those words. Hindi ako galit kay Camille. She is just speaking the truth. She is just helping me. She wants me to realize and made the decision I hope I won't regret.

My phone rings again.

Si Vince again.

"Hello?"

"Abby, where are you?"

"Uhh, lib?"

"What are you doing there?"

"Of course, nagbabasa? Why?"

"You haven't eat your lunch yet."

"Oo nga eh."

"Eh bakit ka ba andyan? Nag away ba kayo ni Camille?"

"Ha? No. Dito lang ako nagdiretso."

"I see. Andito kami sa canteen. Tara kumain. Hintayin kita."

"Naku, wag na. Wag na. Hindi pa ako nagugutom."

"Hard headed."

"Oo nga sabi eh. Sige na. Babye na."

"Wait for me there."

"Ha?"

But he ended the call right away.

Tama ba rinig ko? Nag papaintay si Vince dito? Eh maya maya aalis na rin ako at may klase pa akong isa eh. Layo layo pa naman ng canteen dito. Baka time na bago pa makarating yun. Bahala nga sya. Makapagfacebook na nga lang muna.

I opened my account on my mobile device.

Hindi ako masyadong social media addict. I seldom posts anything about me. I just feel na not all people did not need to know who I am. That is why, hanggang like and react and comment lang ako sa mga posts ng friends ko.

I am into my phone nang may naaninag ako from my peripheral vision na may papalapit sa akin.

"Vince." I thought so pero.

He's not Vince.

He is.

"Daniel."
