Iris
Nakatunganga parin si Rene. Looking at her made me remembered the past. Geez! Stop it Ris!
I felt my eyes watered kaya I quickly opened my bag and searched for my handkerchief. I wiped my eyes then reached for my gummy and chewed it faster.
Ugh! What's happening to me?!
Flashback..
"Garett! I missed you so much, bae!" I quickly hugged him tightly and buried my head in his chest.
Gosh, I missed him!
He kissed my forehead and hugged me back. "I missed you too, my queen."
We stayed in that position for minutes and then we decided to go to a cafe.
"So, were you okay there? Did you eat well? Parang pumayat ka a little ah." I said and drank my hot choco.
"Yup. There were lots of yummy food there, so why wouldn't I eat?" He laughed.
"Pero, yeah. Medyo pumayat ka talaga babe." I pouted and held his hand that was on the table.
"Yeah, cause nagwork out ako." He flashed his manly smile showing his deep dimple and patted my head.
I just looked into his eyes and gave him a relieved look.
Bigla siyang nagsalita, "Don't worry, bee. I'll stay healthy, I promise."
Minutes later, he told me that he needed to go to the washroom kaya I was left here alone. I checked my phone for notifications, but halos lahat is from Facebook saying that people liked my new display pic.
♪ Oh damn, oh damn, oh damn, I'm so perplexed of just one breath I'm locked in ♪
I glanced at his phone that was lying on the table and read what was written on the caller ID...
My eyes watered suddenly.
I look like a fool tearing up here.
That was just only a caller ID, but why am I crying?
♪ -- that was almost shocking ♪
*toot*
The caller ended up the call.
♪ Oh damn, oh da-- ♪
I answered the phone.
"Babeeee! How are you? Did you arrive there safely?" O-ouch.
"Hello, babe?"
"Heeeeyy! Garett?!"
"waaah! waaah!" I suddenly heard a baby whining.
"Wait babe. Kayebelle's crying."
"come here, my princess. Don't cry now, mommy's here." Lumayo ang boses so I assumed that she was talking from afar.
"My Belle, I'm calling daddy. Do you wanna hear his voice?" Daddy?
"Garett, I think Belle wants to talk to you."
"M-miss?" Me.
"Hello? Who's this? Why are you holding my fiance's phone?"
"F-fiance? I think you got the wrong number miss. Baka kapangalan lang ng fiance mo yung boyfriend ko." My tears raced down to my cheeks.
I kept denying it. I kept telling her she got the wrong number. Telling her that maybe magkapangalan lang ang ka rs namin.
But no.
"No. Sino ka ba? I'm Garett Salvador's fiance, miss."
I didn't bother to answer her question. I immediately ended up the phone call.
"Bee? Who was that? Why are you crying?" Si Garett na kakarating lang.
Napaupo ako. My knees got weak. Hearing all those words---not from him, but from his other girl got me sick. I think my heart suddenly died. I wanna run, but I can't. I wanna wake up from this nightmare, but I can't. I can't escape from this heart breaking moment. I want to be free. I wanna end up this bad dream, but no. I can't. Not because binabangungot ako, but because I'm wide awake. I'm not dreaming. I'm not asleep.
"B-Bee? What's wrong?" He wiped up my tears but he was shocked when I pushed his arms away.
"Bee?"
"Stop calling me that."
"B-Bee, wh--"
"I SAID STOP CALLING ME THAT!"
I don't care if people watching. I don't care if they're gonna take videos of me. I don't care if I get viral when I open my Facebook account later. I don't care! I JUST DON'T FUCKING CARE!
"Are you mad?"
I just wanna shout at him the most pinakamalutong na PUTANGINA in the world.
I wanna curse at him badly!
"WHO WOULDN'T BE MAD AT THIS SITUATION? YOUR BITCH--TELLING ME TO FUCK OFF BECAUSE YOU'RE HERS? HEARING HER SQUEAK THIS AND THAT? HEARING YOUR BABY BELLE OR BELLA, WHATEVER THAT BABY'S NAME IS CRYING?! HEARING THAT SLUT CALL YOU BABE?! WHAT THE FUCK GARETT! FUCK YOU! PUTANGINA MO, LET'S BREAK UP!"
After saying that, I quickly reached for my bag and rushed off.
That was my first time acting like a real bitch.
End of flashback..
"Hey, Ris. You okay?" Haley.
"What's wrong, Iris?" Lily
I looked at them both. "Nothing."
I glanced at Charlotte. She was pouting slash pointing her lips towards my cheeks.
When I touched my cheeks, I felt something wet. Geez, probably my freaking tears. My traitor tears.
I mouthed "thanks" to her and she just nodded.
Sheesh, I'm such a crybaby.
