Pwede bang ako na lang?

Chapter 7 - Worried

Nico's POV

Napabalikwas ako ng bangon nung maramdaman ko na wala na akong katabi.

Sh*t! Where is she?

Agad akong tumayo at nagbihis.
I try to look at the bathroom and the kitchen hoping she really never leave.

Pero sino bang niloko ko?

I knew Canary. Right of this moment alam ko na nahimasmasan na ito sa nangyari.
Sana lang di siya magalit thinking na sinamantala ko na vulnerable siya that time..

We need to talk.

I texted her. Pero wala akong nakuhang reply.
I called her, pero hindi rin nito sinasagot ang tawag ko.

D*amn! What if she do something out of her control again?

Thinking the possibility, hindi ko mapigilang mainis. But I'm also worried.

She have no idea how worried I am.

Kahapon, when we all heard that she went off out of somewhere at nabalitaan namin ang buong detalye ng nangyari sa kanya at sa siraulo nitong BF, hindi na kami napakali.

But it's a relief dahil nagreply naman ito kina Jasia, Lyn at Mady na kasama din namin that time.

We prefered not to disturb her because we know she needed time to think.

But she got me worried again.
The moment I received her call with a broken drunk voice, I pannicked inside.

Good thing she called me. At mabuti na rin lang na kakilala ko ang isa sa may-ari ng bar kung nasaan ito at napakiusapan na pabantayan muna sa mga bartender.

Hindi ko alam kung anong pwede kong magawa kapag nalaman kong napahamak ito.

***
Tinanguan ako ng mga bartender bago itinuro sa akin si Canary.
Inabutan ko itong nakayupyop sa bar counter.

I carefully tapped her shoulder and placed my jacket on her. She's slightly shiverring.

She smiled at me the moment that she realized who am I.

But I'm not in the mood to smile back.
She was totally at mess.

Inalalayan ko itong tumayo.
She was complaining dahil ang tagal ko daw dumating.

A drunk Canary is not easy to handle.
Lumalabas ang pagiging stubborn nito.

She even used her new car!

Bakit ko alam?
It so happenned that I saw her purchasing it. Hindi lang ako lumapit at nagpakita dito noon.

I settled her inside.
Tinawagan ko pa ang family driver namin para kunin ang kotse ko at dahil sa condo ko after.

My original plan is to bring her at her own condo.
Pero ayaw pa nitong umuwi. Kaya naman nagpasya na lang akong dalhin ito sa condo ko.

"Thank you for picking me up Drei." Canary

Nilingon ko ito pero hindi na ako nagsalita.

She fell asleep already kaya binuhat ko ito paakyat sa condo.

But the moment we got in, she became stubborn again.
She requested for another drink which I refused at first.

"What's wong? Safe naman ako dito sa Condo mo. Or kung ayaw mo, aalis na lang ulit ako para magpunta sa Bar." Canary

Heck no!

At wala akong nagawa kundi sundin na lang ang gusto nito.

Before I went out to give her request, I texted our friends that I got Canary safe.
