I Knew I Loved You

Chapter 37

"What?! Kayo na ulit?!" Masayang tanong ni Grace. I chuckled and nodded.

"Yes. Well, we didn't break up anyway," sabi ko. "And here's the biggest revelation."

"What is it? Oh my gosh I'm dying to know!" She said.

"He remembers me. To be honest, I didn't expect that he could actually remember me right away. Nagulat na lang ako dahil sa mga pinagsasabi niya kay Casandra kanina," paliwanag ko.

She hugged me tight. "Oh my Gosh, couz! I'm so happy for the both of you! This is the start of something new! Kailan siya babalik ng Maynila? Most especially sa Batangas?"

"I still don't know couz," sabi ko. "Babalik lang kami kapag naalala na niya lahat. Sasamahan ko siya rito. I'm his girlfriend... I should be with him and help him remember the past."

Tumango naman si Grace. "You have a point there."

Naglakad lakad naman ako sa loob ng hotel. May swimming pool din naman doon pero hindi na ako nag swimming roon. Mas maganda kasi kung sa dagat, mas ramdam mo na nasa Cebu ka.

Habang naglalakad, nakita ko na naman si Drei, may kausap na ulit sa telepono.

"Hindi ko alam! Akala ko ba patay na? Mga walang silbi!" He shouting, looks like his pissed off again. "Ba't parang kasalanan ko pa?"

My eyebrows furrowed. Lumapit ako sa kaniya. "Hi!"

Mukhang gulat na gulat na naman si Aldrei dahil nakita niya ako. "O-Oh, Hi!"

"You seem to have a lot of problem these days," sabi ko. "Is there something wrong? Do you want me to help you?"

Mabilis naman itong umiling. "No need. I can solve it myself. Thanks for your offer. I-I'll get going."

"O-" mabilis naman kaagad siyang umalis. Something's really off about him. Ano bang problema niya? 

I sighed. Have I been a good friend? I really want to help him to go through his problem, but he won't let me. Wala naman akong maisip na dahilan kung bakit masyado niya akong iniiwasan. Well, just give him space, Gabb. He can solve this by his own.

Kinabukasan, maaga akong nagising. I'm happy that I'm in a relationship, again. And with the same person. Tinext ko naman kaagad si Miguel or should I say... Henry?

Ako:
   Good morning!

Ilang minuto lamang, nagreply na kaagad si Miguel.

Henry:
   Morning. Have you eaten breakfast?

Ako:
    Yup. 'Kaw ba?

Henry:
    Yes. I'm off to work now. Can I call?

  Bago pa ko maka reply, nag ring na kaagad phone ko. Hindi lang talaga maka intay, Henry? I chuckled.

"Okay ka na ba talaga? Why are you going to work already?" Nag aalala kong tanong.

He chuckled. "Hindi ba pwedeng hello muna?"

I rolled my eyes. "I'm serious here. Are you really okay now? Baka mamaya... hindi pa ah. Naku lagot ka sakin!"

He chuckled. "Yes, baby. I'm completely fine now. Can we see each other later? I miss you."

Ramdam kong nag iinit na ang pisngi ko. "Uh... p-pwede n-naman..."

"Nag-iba ata tono mo ngayon?" Panunuya n'ya.

"Hindi ah!" I exclaimed. "I-I'll get to work now. Bye!" Then I hung up the phone. Ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko pero di naman ako kinakabahan.

Bigla namang sumulpot si Grace. "Sus! E'di ikaw na may boyfriend! Porket ako 2 years nang single!"
