About You

XVII.

"Kailan tayo aalis? I need to fix my things na. Ilang araw ba tayo don?"

"Wow babe, hindi ka naman excited no?" agad siniko ni Madisson si Iris na nakaakbay sa kanya. These two are really cute couple. Sarap pagbuhulin.

They just stopped teasing each other when Madi's phone rang.

"Si Dale... Hello Dale-girl, bakit ka napatawag?"

"Ano? I can't understand you? Where are you? Bakit ang ingay?" we're just eyeing her with curiosity.

"Sa bar? A-ANO? SI HEART?!" Biglang napatayo si Madi. Pati kami nagulat sa kanya at tsaka ano daw? Si Heart?

"Sige, papunta na kami!" Madisson got her pouch at hinila patayo si Iris. "Get up! You too Leoel! Heart's in trouble! Kailangan natin magmadali!"

What the hell?

"Bilisan mo pa Leoel, baka mapano si Heart don." I stepped on the gas pedal and accelerated our speed. Sana hindi kami mahuli ng MMDA nito.

"Di ba kasama ni Dale si Edward? Ilabas na kamo nila si Heart." nagaalala ang boses ni Iris.

"Hindi nga sila magkasama! Warla nga sila di ba kaya nagbar si Dale mag-isa" aligaga si Madi habang nagtatype sa phone nya. "Oh my! Dale lost Heart already. Nakipagsiksikan daw sa may dance floor at mukhang lasing na lasing na daw si Heart. Geez. Malayo pa ba tayo?"

Hindi ako sumagot. Maya maya pa, tanaw ko na ang Onyx. As soon as I parked the car, nagmadali na kaming pumasok sa loob ng bar. Sinalubong kami ni Dale na mukhang tense na tense.

"Madi-girl! Bakit ngayon lang kayo? Andun si Heart sa may dance floor, I'm sorry, I can't get a hold of her. Lasing na lasing na sya, you should hurry!" I passed by them at agad tinungo ang dance floor. Pushing myself through a sea of party animals, na sobrang wild at intense. They are at the peak of their wilderness and I can't imagine Heart joining this kind of people.

Pinagtulakan ko ang mga nakaharang sa akin hanggang sa makarating ako sa pinakagitna, and there I saw Heart dancing with some random guy. I immediately felt the urge to punch that arse.

Agad kong hinigit si Heart palapit sa akin. She looked shocked pati na din ang kasayaw nya.

"What the hell, men! Bakit ka nanggugulo?!"

"Hindi ako nanggugulo. Kinukuha ko lang kung anong akin. See this girl?" sabay turo kay Heart na nakakakunot ang noo at parang walang naintindihan sa pangyayari. Pfft. She
looks cute.

"She's mine, so fvck off."

Hindi ko na hinayaan pang sumagot yung siraulong kasayaw ni Heart at hinigit na agad sya paalis don.

When we're already close to our friends, she started to protest on my grip. "Ano ba! Bitawan mo nga ako!"

I sighed at niluwagan ang hawak sa kanya, but I didn't completely let go of her. Never.

"Look Heart. You're drunk already, iuuwi na kita. Pero kung ayaw mong ako maghatid sayo, Madisson and Iris can bring you home. Let's just go okay?" Hindi nya ako sinagot. She just stared at me, mixed emotions were written on her face.

Nagulat na lang ako ng bigla nya ako yakapin."Cahel, my lil' Orangie, I missed you."

"H-Heart..." My body froze right then and there. How I missed her calling me that.

She tightened her hug and whisper, "I *hik* missed you so bad." She looked at me and giggle "You're blushing hihi."

"Heart! Leoel!" We turned our attention to Madisson na hila-hila si Iris. They are both shocked when they saw our position.
