Saudade [COMPLETED]

Chapter 22

"Hailey!" Ria called as soon as she saw me. She gave me a kiss in the cheek.

"Lately you've been running and shouting a lot." Puna ko na ikinangiwi niya.

"Sorry Ma'am but I'm not here for a sermon, andito ako para ibalita sayo ang nalaman ko!" She said in excitement.

My right brow raise.

"What?"

"Kegann Del Ray got the highest partial Grade Point Average sa overall unofficial graduating students! Grabe! At siya lang ang nag iisang running Summa Cumlaude sa buong engineering department! Sa buo a!? Including Mechanical,civil and the others! Computer Engineering students are bragging out and trash talking kaya nag kakagulo ang buong engineering department!" My eyes grew wider upon hearing the news.

Kegann beat Blue?

Agad kong kinuha ang cellphone ko para mag message kay Blue.

["Babe how are you? Are you okay?"]

I know that Blue is sad about this. Him not getting the first spot is a big blow to him. I know how he works so hard to be on top.

I waited for his reply but no reply came.

"Haiz. You also need to hear the other part." She apologetically said.

My full attention now is back at her.

"The rumours that Blue manipulated the result of their GPA when they were in high school arose." I bit my lower lip.

"Ria I need to find Blue!" Agad kong inayos ang gamit ko at mabilis na naglalakad habang nagtitipa ng mensahe.

["Babe where are you?"]

Nang hindi nakatanggap ng mensahe pabalik, I started calling him but he wasn't picking up.

"Blue where the heck are you?" I mumbled to myself habang patuloy na nag lalakad.

I bumped in to someone that caused me to stumble.

"Watch where you heading!" Galit na sabi ko.

Blank face of Taus is what I saw upon getting up.

"Asshole!" I said but I didn't receive any response from him.

"Seriously? You clearly bumped in to him because you were busy fidgeting on your phone tapos si Taus pa ang Asshole? Unbelievable!" Galit na sabi ng babaeng kasama niya.

I remember her. She was with Kegann in the library. So ano yun after Kegann si Taus naman?

I turn my gaze at her totally pissed.
"I'm not asking your opinion." Inirapan ko siya at mabilis na naglakad paalis.

I went to Cassiopeia Cafe to try my luck but to no avail he wasn't there.

I decided to call my driver and body guard para mag pahatid kila Blue.

Nang makarating ako sakanila ay katulong ang nadatnan ko na nag sasabi na wala siya roon.

I also tried going to their company but he wasn't there as well.

I messaged Rozéll his best friend just to see if he knows where Blue is and he replied.

Rozéll Pineda
["Blue is with Ary and he's fine. Don't worry Haiz."]

I don't know what to feel. I don't know if I'll be glad that he's fine or if I'll be mad because kasama niya lang naman ang first girlfriend slash first love niya.

It hurts to think that I'm not the person he'll come running for in times of difficulty.

Lumandas ang luha sa mata ko.
