CHAPTER 23

Chapter 23

Xandra's POV

"[I did everything for her but she just broke my heart. I thought I'm the only one, but I'm just assuming.]"

Dumaan ang sampung minutong nagdadrama si Nate at nakikinig lang ako sakanya. I think he need someone who will listen to his problems, and I guess, that's me.

'Don't assume nerd' TSS.

"[Haha she did not love me and now, I don't fvcking care. I'll just move on. It's her damn lost.]" Nagsalita na ko baka mamaya babaan pako neto.

"Nate, can you answer my simple question?"

"[What question? If it is possible if I fall in love with you?]" Dahil sa sinabi niya, mabilis na uminit ang pisnge ko kaya agad akong nagsalita.

"Fudge, no! Not that!" Alam kong kasing pula na ng kamatis ang pisnge ko dahil sa sobrang pula.

"[Haha just kidding.]"

"I guess it's easy to answer this now. Where are you?"

"[My car.]"

"What the, where are you going?!" Napasigaw ako sa kaba kaya nagtinginan saakin ang mga tao. Well, I don't care. Ang mahalaga ngayon ay si Nathan.

"[Gotta go. Bye.]"

"Wait, Nathan! Nathan, answer me! What the?" Agad kong tinawag si Angeline.

"Ange, si Nathan mag dadrive." Nagpapanic na sabi ko. Pinatayan na ako ni Nathan bang tawag.

"Hayaan mo nga siya."

"Anong pabayaan? He's drunk! How can you just let him drive?"

"Loraine, walang mangyayaring masama sakanya. I know him well. Hindi niya ipapahamak ang sarili niya just because of that biatch. So please, calm down!" Pagpapakalma niya pa sakin pero alam kong hindi ako kakalma hanggat di ko sigurado kung safe ngang magdrive si Nathan.

"Alam mo Ange, kung ayaw mo akong samahan, just tell me! For Pete's sake Nathan is your cousin! Wala ka man lang pakealam?!" Alam kong nabigla siya sa pagtaas nang boses ko pero wala na akong pakealam.

Lumabas na ako nang cafella. Pero naalala ko yung salamin ko. Hindi ako sanay nang naka contact lens. Bumalik ako sa loob at pumunta sa dressing room. Narinig kong tinawag ako ni Angeline pero Hindi ko na siya pinansin. Ang mahalaga ngayon ay si Nathan.

Nangpalabas na ako nang dressing room, bigla nalamang hinawakan ni Ange yung braso ko.

"Loraine, please, calm down."

"You know what, Ange? If you are not worried about your cousin, then good for you. You can relax here. But, me? I can just sit there, and wait for Nathan to come back. Did you hear what I say? Nathan is drunk! We are not sure if he's really Okay. So, if you excuse me, I'll find your cousin." Nagulat rin ako sa sinabi ko pero pumunta na ako sa kotse para hanapin si Nathan. Saka nalang ako hihingi nang tawad sakaniya pag okay na ang sitwasiyon. For now, I don't know how to apologize but I feel guilty.

Xandra, just find Nathan, okay? Everything will be fine. Tama, for now, kailangan ko munang hanapin si Nathaniel.

Pinuntahan ko lahat nang mga malalapit na clubs and bars while dialing his number but he is not there and yet, he is still not answering my calls. Pumunta muna ako sa loob nang kotse ko at muli lamang siyang tinawagan. And thank, God, he finally answered it. Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko at nasigawan ko na siya kahil wala pa man din siyang sinasabi.

"[WHAT THE FVCK, NATHANIEL?! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?! YOU ARE FREAKING DRUNK BUT YOU STILL DROVE YOUR FVCKING CAR FOR FVCKING SAKE! DO YOU WANT ME TO DIE BECAUSE OF YOU!? I'M FVCKING WORRIED! WE ARE FREAKING WORRIED! SINO BA NAMAN ANG HINDI MABABAHALA KUNG NAGDRIVE KA NG LASING?! I UNDERSTAND YOUR SITUATION THAT YOUR GIRLFRIEND CHEATED ON YOU BUT PLEASE! WAG MO NAMAN AKONG PATAYIN SA SOBRANG PAGAALALA NA BAKA MAGPAKAMATAY KA! IF YOU WANTED TO DIE, JUST TELL ME! I AM WILLING TO DO IT! JUST TELL ME!]" Sabi ko at tumulo na lang muli bigla ang mga masagana kong luha. Hindi siya sumagot kaya nagsalita muli ako.

"[NATHANIEL! NGAYON NAMAN AYAW MO MAGSALITA! ANSWER ME! WHERE ARE YOU!?]" Umiiyak na sigaw ko.

"[I'm sorry, Miss?]" What the f? I-its not N-Nathaniel w-who answered t-the phone c-call...

"[W-who are you?]" Natitigilan kong tanong.

"[Miss, I am nurse Rachelle. Are you a relative of the patient?]"

"[P-patient? Wala akong pasyente!]" Umiiyak na saad ko.

"[Uhm, Miss, sorry to tell this but the owner of this phone just got into an accident 10 minutes ago. Sa pagkakaalam ko po ay si Mr. Nathaniel James Delimo yun. Kilala niyo ho ba siya? Nasa amin ho ang mga gamit niya at sa wallet namin po nalaman na Nathaniel ang name niya.]"

"[No. That's not Nathaniel! That bastard is not my bestfriend! Baka naman that man with you is just an impostor? Baka naman magnanakaw yan? He stole the wallet and the phone of my bestfriend?]"

"[I know po na it is hard to believe that your bestfriend got into an accident. Pakipuntahan nalamang po siya dito sa San Rafael's General Hospital. Nasa E.R. po siya ngayon. Thank you.]" And she hung up the phone.

"Nathan, what the fvck?" I murmured then start the engine.

"Nathan, wait for me okay? I know that is not you. It's not you who got into an accident. It's not freaking you!" at tumulo nalang ang mga luha ko habang nag dadrive papuntang SRGH.
