Chapter 5

Nangunot ang noo ko ng hindi sila Alona at Jane ang nadatnan ko sa VIP room. It was Niall, alone. Did the girls set this up? I was sure I read Alona's message and it was clearly written there that it was girls night out. Pero nasan ang dalawa at bakit si Niall ang nandito ngayon? I'm sure I look confused right now, nasa mukha ko ang pagkalito.

"Niall, what are you doing here?"I asked.

Niall smiled at me unconsciously."Sam, maupo ka muna."he gestured the sofa. Tumingin lamang akodoon bago muling ibinalik ang tingin kay Niall.

I don't want to hurt Niall in any aspect. Dahil bago kami nagkaroon ng relasyon ay naging matalik muna kaming magkaibigan. That's the reason why Niall will always have special place in my heart. I treasured him so much. But I don't think I still have feelings for Niall. Yes, I maybe cared for him. Pero bilang kaibigan na lamang iyon. I also cared for the rest. After all the six of us are best friends since high school, we shared lots of memories together and I will forever cherish those. But this...this is all wrong. 

'Ni hindi ako nagpaalam sa asawa ko dahil ang akala ko sila Jane ang kikitain ko ngayon but it turns out to be Niall.

I shook my head."Niall, I'm sorry but I need to go."tinalikuran ko na siya at akmang aalis na ng yakapin niya ako.

"Please...stay...kahit saglit lang."it hurts to heard his voice cracked. He's crying. At hindi ako sanay na ganito si Niall. Sa barkada namin Niall is the toughest one, the baddest and the strongest.

I heaved a sigh before I turn to face Niall. Nakayuko siya at ayaw ipakita na umiiyak. Still the Niall I know.

"Don't cry, Niall."I said softly.

Niall chuckled lightheartedly."I can't stop the tears. It hurts to know that you can't be with me anymore, Sam."his voice was so brokenhearted.

"Niall..."

"I begged the boys to help me with this."he explained."Huwag kang magalit sakanila. Kung magagalit ka...saakin na lang dahil ako naman ang nagpumilit nito. I just want to talk to you. I still love you but I also respect that you're married, Sam. Hindi na ako manggugulo. Gusto lang kita makasama kahit saglit lang. After all I won't stay here for a little longer. Babalik din ako abroad."pilit itong ngumiti saakin.

This won't hurt. Just this night. Ngayong gabi lang. I still can remember when I'm sad Niall is always there to cheer me up. Gusto kong iyon din ang gawin ko ngayon para kay Niall. I want to cheer him and this is the least I can do.

Buong gabi ay nagkuwentuhan lang kami ni Niall. I was happy with him. Ngayon na lang kami nagbonding ng ganito. I guess we're now good. We talked about our high school days upto college days those times where I waa ready to give up college because I think I really can't do it but Niall was there to cheer me up. I laughed when I remembered the main reason why I want to give up college it's because of my thesis. Paano kasi ilang beses na iyong nare-reject at hindi ko na alam kung ano pa ba ang mali sa thesis na iyon. Sumabay pa noon ang OJT namin at sobrang frustrated na ako at pagod. I don't really want to take Business management from the beginning. Pero dahil ako lang ang nag-iisang anak ng Flores I have no choice but to run our company. Kaya siguro mahina ang loob ko ng tumungtong kami ng college dahil hindi naman talaga iyon ang kursong gusto ko. I want to study music. I fall in love with singing. Kaya siguro nagkasundo agad kami ni Niall ay dahil iyon din ang hilig niya. And I admire him for his courage and determination. Iyon kasi ang mga bagay na wala ako. Naduwag akong ipaglaban ang gusto ko. And I'm happy that Niall succeeded in his dreams. Ngayon, isa na itong sikat na singer. Palagi ko itong napapanuod sa mga tv shows, mapa-guesting o judge 'man.
