Darren Espanto? My Boss. (Darren Espanto Fanfic) (DEMEF Book 2)

Chapter 15: Conflicts

.

“Farewells can be shattering, but returns are surely worse. Solid flesh can never live up to the bright shadow cast by its absence. Time and distance blur the edges; then suddenly the beloved has arrived, and it's noon with its merciless light, and every spot and pore and wrinkle and bristle stands clear.” 

Lygienel's POV

"Kaleia! I miss you!" sigaw ni Darren habang magkayakap silang dalawa. Kami namang lahat dito sa studio, nagtataka sa mga nangyayari. Magkaano-ano ba sina Kaleia at si Darren?

"What? Kaleia is my bestfriend. She's a Canadian and since I came back to Canada from the audition to The Voice Kids, we've been friends like forever!" masayang sabi naman ni Darren. Everyone here sighed in relief, including me. Umirap lang naman si Twittle. Ill tempered.

Napatingin lang ako kay Gio. Gio just looked down at the floor when he saw me look at him. I went closer to him, dropping my handbad at the floor completely. It's been 5 years since I haven't met this guy. "L-lygienel.." he stuttered and about to walk away. I held his hand.

"Gio," I whispered, holding his hand still, making him look at me. Ulit, nararamdaman ko naman ang atensyon at mga mata ng mga tao dito sa loob ng studio.

This guy is grew so different. Kung dati, mas matangkad ako sa kanya, ngayon, mas matangkad na sya sa akin. Yung para bang.. ang negro negro nya noon, porselana na ang balat nya ngayon. Tears filled my eyes as I scanned his physical features. Ang dami-daming nagbago sa kanya.

"Namiss kita ah," I fakingly laughed. Yung mga luha na natrap sa mga mata ko, dumaloy na sa mga pisngi ko. I sobbed as I hugged him. "Gio.." I cried.

"I-i'm sorry. I'm s-so sorry, Lygienel. I-i didn't know what t-to do back then, I-im so-" natigil si Gio sa pagsasalita nya ng mas niyakap ko sya ng mas mahigpit habang nagsasalita. "Don't you say sorry 'cause it's over. I forgive you, Gio. I-i forgive you," sabi ko sa kanya. Dun na mas naging intense ang lahat. Si Gio, umiyak.

"I'm really really sorry, Lygienel. I-i just- I just don't k-know what have gotten into m-me," iyak pa nya. I embraced him more. Gio was my first friend, my first best friend, my first crush, my first love, and my first heartbreak. Just as then, Ian signaled everyone to go out of the studio and leave us alone.

"Uhh.. Darren, Stacey, Juan Karlos and Twittle, punta muna tayo sa apartment, ha? M-magpahinga na muna kayo. Alam kong pagod kayo eh, tara na. Bilis!" Ian whisper shouted. Napatawa ako ng konti sa sinabi ni Ian. I mean, pinipilit ni Ian na mapaalis silang apat at maiwan kami ni Gio dito.

"Kaleia, Sarah, Nissita, Duke, Divya, Levi, Jayden, Quinnie, Stepan, und die crews, Lassen Sie uns auf die zweite Gebäude zu gehen. Es sind gerade dabei, einige Dinge für uns zu diskutieren," sabi naman ni Miss Bianca. As they all nodded, they went to the second building of the studio. Dito kami nagsisipag meeting, nagreresearch. Kapag may mga shoot ng behind the scenes tapos may interview sa bawat product na ineendorse namin, doon yun lahat nangyayari. Iniiba nga lang ng mga crews yung set-up.

*Kaleia, Sarah, Nissita, Duke, Divya, Levi, Jayden, Quinnie, Stepan, and the crews, let us go the second building. There are just going to be some things for us to discuss.

 Nang makaalis na silang lahat, kaming dalawa na lang ni Gio ang nandito sa loob ng studio. Bibitaw na sana ako sa pagkakayap namin ni Gio sa isa't-isa nang mas niyakap nya pa ako. He snuggled his head into my neck. I missed his scent. "Namiss kita, Lygienel. Akala ko, hindi na kita makikita ulit," he whispered to me.
