Nakarating kami sa Ally's and I was fuming mad. I snobbed everyone that was trying to approach me.
Ate Ly looked surprise to see me all of a sudden when I barge in to her office.
"Bea.. is there something wrong?" she stood up from her seat and went to me.
I was breathing heavily, feeling ko sasabog ako anytime kapag hindi ko agad nailabas yung inis ko.
"Come on Bea, Ate's here." bigla niya akong niyapos, kasabay noon ang pagtulo ng luha ko.
I cried. I don't care if I'm overreacting, hell I'm mad right now. And if I won't let these tears out, I might end up hurting myself.
What Thirdy did earlier was way out of my expectations. I don't know why he's like that, where he's coming from, i thought we're okay.
When I cried enough, Ate Ly wiped my tears.
"Thanks Ate Ly." I smiled genuinely at her.
"Anong nangyari ba? Who made you cry, huh?" she asked just like the way she asked me way back when she's still in college. She put the strands of my hair behind my ears and wiped the remaining tears on my face.
"Ate si Thirdy kasi.." I bit my lower lip as I felt my tears coming on again.
I sighed heavily before finally telling her the whole story.
"Are you sure it's Thirdy?" Ate Ly looked at me unbelievably.
"Of course Ate. Siya pa ba yung hindi ko makikilala?"
"That's weird." She commented with her forehead creased.
"What's weird?"
"I just talked to Manong and he mentioned nga na si Thirdy na yung sasama kay Tita sa hospital since may laro siya mamaya."
Mas lalo akong naguluhan sa sitwasyon. If that's the case, is it possible na kasama naman talaga ni Thirdy si Tita kanina? Then why is he with those girls? Maiintindihan ko pa sana kung si Tita Mozzy ay nasa loob din ng car niya or whoever car that is.
"Have you called him?"
I stopped for a second before I shook my head.
"You have to Bea. Kahit ako naguguluhan na din eh."
"Pero Ate... Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko sa kanya. Hindi ba dapat siya yung unang tumawag sakin?"
"Set aside that pride Bei. If you want to clear everything, you have to swallow it." Ate Ly smiled at me and I have no choice but to sigh.
I dialed his number on my phone.
3 rings..
4 rings..
5 rings..
[Hello Bea?]
I swallowed and looked at Ate Ly. She mouthed I'll be here before giving me the smile that everyone fell in love with.
"Thirdy.." I bit my lower lip and calmed myself.
[You don't sound okay. What's wrong?]
I want to slap him right now for asking that. Bakit parang nakalimutan niya agad yung nangyari kanina?
"What's with you kanina? I thought sasamahan mo si Tita sa hospital? Then why are you with those girls? Who are they?" hindi ko na napigilan pa ang bibig ko. I am damn thirsty for answers.
There was silence on the other line. I was about to ask him if he's still there when he finally spoke up.
[I gotta go Bea. I'm sorry.]
