The Sky Above Us (THE GREY EYES SERIES 02)

Chapter 28

It has been a month since we last talked. Everyone was calling me after that. Her mom, her sister, even Chris. But I didn't answer.

I wanna process what she told me that night.. she told me she was not ready.. she was not ready to add another priority space on her list. I was a mess but I didn't let it get me. I still go to work, act normal with my friends at the bar and I don't answer them when they ask about her. I Don't know if she thinks that i broke up with her. I just want her to realise my importance that's why i left that night, not accepting her apology.

That awarding ceremony was as important as her sister giving birth to her nephew. It is a once in a lifetime event for me. And i want her to see it. Kahit sandali. But something happened that's why she can't come. Im cool with it at first. But as time passes by i was getting enraged. Nakaupo ako sa event pero sa ibang bagay tumatakbo ang utak ko. Biglang bumuhos sakin ang lahat ng pangako nyang pambabawi sakin, lahat ng pag aayaw nya sa mga bagay na alok ko na para din naman sakanya dahil stress na sya. I mean, ano ba naman yung isang araw?

Nakakagalit. Ganun ba talaga? Wala ba talaga akong halaga kahit katiting pag pamilya nya na? Diba nangako rin naman akong magiging pamilya kami? Kelan ba mangyayari yun? Pag pati ang mga buhok ko sing kulay na ng mata kong kulay abo? Damn it!

It's not that I'm not willing to wait alright. It's about my importance, her priorities and her messed up mind!

Here i am again, thinking about her while drinking whisky at home. Nakabukas ang TV pero di ako nanunuod. Nakatulala lang ako sa baso ko.

Kailan ba ako magiging sapat para sakanya? Kailan nya ba marerealize na napapagod din naman ako kahihintay?

Ang sakit sa dibdib.

Sinabihan ko sya tungkol sa mga nagawa ko oo, di ko yun sinusumbat. Gusto ko lang naman na maalala nya lahat ng effort ko na ibig sabihin ay suportado ko sya sa lahat.

I stopped drinking and went to my room for a comfortable sleep.

The next morning, i woke up with the sound of kitchen utensils downstairs. I immediately went down at nakita ko syang nakatalikod, nagluluto sa kusina ko wearing my apron.

She looked at me and she smiled.

"Upo ka na, malapit ng maluto."

What. How.

"How did you get here?"

"Krista gave me her key."

"What are you doing here?"

"Visiting you of course!"

I was astounded. Di ako makagalaw sa kinatatayuan ko.

"Wow. After all that's happened huh?"

"Vince Lucas Torres. Umupo ka na."

"No. Umuwi ka na. They might need you there."

"They already have househelp."

"So?"

"So? Anong so?"

"I don't want you here."

Tumalikod ako at naglakad at huminto ng walang narinig galing sakanya.

Tinanggal nya ang apron habang nakatingin saakin.

"Well i guess I'll stop by another day!"
She said with a smile, and with just that, she went straight to the door and left.
