HER
I'm here inside my office while staring blankly at the view from my glass window.
I've never been this confused in my life.
I sat back on my swivel chair and closed my eyes while massaging my temple.
For Nico.
HIM
I just finished my evening workout at the gym inside my penthouse.
And since hindi nanaman ako makatulog, dumiretso nalang ako sa balcony at sumandal sa railings habang nakatingin sa mga tao at kotse na dumadaan na 'tila langgam dahil sa pagkataas taas ng view ko.
I live in the tallest and most luxurious penthouse in the Philippines located at Makati.
I decided to have my own place since now that I prefer living alone. I constantly visit my family and friends naman and vice versa, whoever is free.
I breathed and closed my eyes as the cool night breeze embraces me.
I need your warmth.
There are times that I can't help but to think about what could've beens.
What could've been if we were together?
And what could've been if we weren't? Which is happening right now, but I mean is what if we just let go?
Or is it even a 'we' ?
Is she thinking about me still?
I tried shrugging off my thoughts but I guess I wouldn't be able to escape it this time as I felt sadness and frustration cover my whole being.
I took the phone out of my pocket and immediately dialed a number.
"O, pre? Bakit?" sagot niya sa telepono.
"Let's go out tonight, Valkyrie." sabi ko.
"Woah. Teka, baka patayin ako ni Angge," sabi niya at natawa ako.
"Masyado ka namang under! Sabihin mo day off!" tawa ko.
Narinig ko naman bigla si Angge sa kabilang linya.
"Hoy Kiefer tigilan mo yang kademonyohan mo! Baka pag untugin ko kayo ng magaling mong kaibigan!" sigaw niya.
Narinig ko naman na sumagot si Carlo.
"Love naman, walang kasama si Kiefer," sabi niya at natawa ako ulit.
"Palusot ka pa! E gustong gusto mo naman." sermon ni Angge sakanya habang ako tawa lang ng tawa sakanilang dalawa.
"Sumama ka nalang, Besh." sabi ko at tumigil na silang dalawa.
Nagshower ako at nagbihis saglit dahil magkikita kami sa Valkyrie in an hour.
"Besh, Bro." salubong ko sakanila at bineso si Angge at naghandshake kami ni Carlo.
"Anong ganap mo, Besh? Bakit may paganito?" tanong ni Angge while settling herself in the sofa while Carlo is searching for something to drink.
