Bachelor Series #1: Black Regoir (COMPLETED)

Chapter 6

~Yrah's POV

"BAKIT ngayon ka lang? Saan ka ba nanggaling? At bakit hindi mo man lang kami kinuntak, hah?"

Paunang tanong ni Avon. Nasa loob kami ng VIP room ng restaurant na pag-aari niya pala. After they confronted me, they just dragged me here. Wala na akong nagawa, nanghihina pa ako.

"Where have you been all this time? Why didn't you show yourself? And now? Nasa iisang lugar lang tayo pero hindi mo man lang kami kinausap?"

May hinanakit na sabi rin ni Astrid. Naka upo sila sa harap ko at maluha-luha pa. Marami rin silang pinagbago at mas maunlad na.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't know you're here," I lied and looked down.

They are my friends, before, in the past. I don't want to forget them but I needed to. I have many reasons. My chest tightened and my throat withered painfully, I can't believe this.

"Where have you been all this time? Bakit bigla ka na lang nawala no'n? Alam mo bang hinanap ka namin?" Dugtong ni Astrid na umiiyak din.

I want to apologize but it won't do anything. I don't want to explain but I also feel like crying. And it hurts, because they are part of the past that I wanted to forget. I don't want to be connected with them again but it hurts.

"Just somewhere... far away. In my relatives in US. They took me after my parents's death. That urgent."

I sighed heavily.

"And you didn't contact us? Is that so hard to do, Yrah? We were worried!"

"I wanted peace back then, Avon. I needed space. But I'm okay now."

Akala ko matigas na ako pero bigla na lang may tumulo mula sa mata ko. Napapahid ako ng luha at napalabi na rin. Lumapit silang dalawa sa'kin at niyakap ako. Sinubukan kung magmatigas pero tumulo pa rin ang luha ko at sa huli'y niyakap ko na rin sila pabalik.

"Sorry...I just really needed space. I was too young that time and I don't know what to do."

I don't know why I feel like explaining but I did. Because that's the truth. Things has changed now. If before, I care for almost everyone, today, I only care for myself. It maybe sounds selfish but I always find it hard to trust people. The tragedy that once fell to us changed the way I see the world. And guess it means to happen.

~Black's POV

"Told yah. She's really back," nakangising panunuya ko kina Summit, Noriel, Sonic, Cavex at Casmir na hindi naniwala nang sinabi kong bumalik na si Yrah.

Now they're hanging like idiots. Nakatunganga sa ere at malalaki ang mga mata habang nagbubulungan.

"Y-Yeah, siya na nga 'yon. Si Yrah, akala ko talagang nag-aadik ka na noong sinabi mong nakita mo siya," si Summit na siyang nag-insist na nag-aadik ako.

E' kung sakalin ko kaya siya ng matauhan siya?

"And she changed a lot! Whoah. The last time I saw her, she's like a real dalagang pilina. Mahiyain at mahinhin," Noriel seconded.

"But now, she looks so cool and intimidating. I wonder what really happened to her while she's gone," puna ni Casmir at sinipat ako.

Hindi ako nakangisi agad dahil sa sinabi niya. As much as I want to keep my mask, I can't pretend that I'm okay hearing him. Because I, myself had asked that several times already.

"But she grew up beautifully and entirely hot," Sonic said, smirking as he looked at me.

I gave him a death glare. I can't help but get irritated to his remark.
