Chapter 4
“ Hey Miss Ayana, still the same? “ The bartender said flashing his perfect white teeth
“ Yes, please Damen “ I said smiling at him.
If this guy just find a very good job that will suit his perfect face baka pagnasahan ko pa to. Stupid eh, binibigyan na ng magandang trabaho mas gusto pang magsunog ng baga at tumulong sa unti unting pagpatay ng mga lasinggero dito. Tsk tsk. Mind to tell you he owns this exclusive bar for filthy rich people.
“ So, what brought you here? “ He said
“ Are you some kind of paparazzi wearing a disguise? Cause if you are, I’m sorry pero hindi ka kikita sa’kin. Just try your luck sa iba pang customers mo. “ I said smirking at him
“ Oh no, Haha. You know what, I have a lot of money and being a paparazzi is not included in my ‘to do’ list. “ He said smiling
“ Well, good to know kasi alam mo baka itulak na kita sa ilog Pasig pag pati yun naisipan mong pasukin. “
“ You only live once nga di ba? “
“ Kaya nag bartender ka sa halip na umupo sa swivel chair at magpalamig sa fully air conditioned office mo? You’re impossible. “ I said while sipping my drink.
“ Of course not, wala pa lang akong makita na perfect for my job. Haha. How are you? Are you fine now? “ He said out of the blue.
“ It’s been three years so what’s the point of being not okay? “
Well this person knows me very well, in fact he’s my friend no best friend since college. And he’s every woman’s dream but not me. He’s too perfect for me.
“ Really? Yana you don’t have to pretend, I’m here, I’m your best friend right? I’m not like them. Pero I know since then hindi mo na ako tinuturing na bestfriend and that hurts. “ He said with a little drama on his face.
I felt really guilty, yes he’s all that I have right now. Damen is the only person I can trust.
“ I really planned to cry on your shoulder but you have a lot of customers and you’re the bartender right? “ I said smiling at him.
“ Here’s the key to the VIP room. Wait me there. I’m the owner so who cares? “
“ You’re the best Damen. Bring some wine! See yah. “ I said waving my hand
Damen is still the great guy I’ve always known. He’s still my hero. He’s always the person who will hug me and comfort me every time I feel so alone. He will always---
My thoughts was cut by that stupid person na tumulak sakin and to my shock there’s a pink sticky note again na nasa may stomach ko.
‘ I’m sorry, and please take care of yourself ‘
I crumpled that note and I’m about to throw that away when Damen hold my hand and get that paper.
“ He still love you, Yana. Let go of that grudge in your heart. “
“ No Damen, no “
And with that my tears flow endlessly in my eyes. He just held me and hug me habang inaakay ako papunta sa VIP room.
“ Sshhh. Everything will be alright okay? Just trust me okay? “
He said comforting me. I just nod.
“ Damen I don’t know what to do, it still hurts. I hate this feeling! And I hate him too! I hate him! “
I shouted while crying.
“ Sshh don’t cry I’m here Yana, I’m here. “
And with that my eyes just felt really tired and I just feel like I want to sleep. I want this feeling to end for a while.

“ You know how much I love you, and I’m sorry for all the pain I brought to you, I love you Yannie. I really do. “
