MELODY POV

I learned last night that Chian and the girl from his vacation met or should I say, had a date? Well, of course with Paul. There are 2 things na kinalungkot ko. One is, bakit hindi ako kasama? I'm their friend too right? And second, hindi na ba talaga ako kayang bigyan ng chance ni Chian?

Maybe it's too much to ask right now, because I hurt him so much but I said sorry and babawi naman ako sa kanya. Minsan naiisip ko

Totoo ba ito? Or baka pinagtritripan lang ako ni Paul? Hindi kaya, gawa gawa lang rin nila yung girl? I mean, well, may instagram post but it can be a random girl right?

I'm on my way sa uni when I saw Caren and Shiila papasok na rin and I stopped and called them

"Hey!" I exclaimed and tumingin silang dalawa

We smiled at each other and I hurriedly walked towards them

"Melody" Shiila said "good morning"

"Good morning" I replied "good mood ka ah?" I teased her

"Too much caffeine lang yan Melody" Caren said "need niya hindi matulog para tapusin ibang requirements"

We laughed

"I just wish hindi ako makatulog sa classes ko today, puro majors pa naman" Shiila said and sulked then she checked her watch and said na mauuna na siya since malelate na siya sa class

"How about you?" I asked Caren

"Well, I'm about to go na rin" she replied "Melody..."

"Oh?"

She sighed "I need to tell you something important but I don't have much time right now, maybe after class this afternoon?"

"Uhm sure, tungkol saan? Can you give me a clue or something para hindi ko naman siya isipin the whole day? You look so serious kasi"

She chuckled "well, it's about the guy I talked to you about"

"Hmm? Ah! The alien guy?"

We both laughed

"Yes" she replied

"Oh-kay" I grinned "let's meet na lang sa main lobby later and then let's have pizza later habang kinekwento mo si alien guy and..."

"And?" she asked

"I will tell you something too" I said seriously and she while saying okay then I told her that she should go sa class kasi baka malate rin siya

Medyo weird. I mean, parang iba yung aura ni Caren today. Ano kayang nangyari between him and the alien guy? I hope everything is okay between them

Pagdating ko ng building namin, I saw Paul and Chian sa locker area

"Wala man lamang naginform sa akin na you'll have night life last night, di na ba ako part ng friendship na to?" I asked them and they both chuckled

"We didn't have a night life chill Mel" Paul said "nawala ni Chian phone niya and kinuha lang namin kagabi sa nakapulot"

Wait

The girl from the vacation ba yung nakapulot?

I mean, fuck it's crazy if it's her

What's with their connection???

"You mean?" I asked Paul then I looked at Chian

"I met Steph yesterday" Chian said "nakuha niya yung phone ko without her knowing"

"I see" I said "so, how was it?" I asked Chian

"Do you really want to know?" he asked me

"Of course she needs to know and she'll be surprised kung sino yon" Paul butted in and I looked at him, He's grinning

Are they tripping me or something? Set up ba to? May hidden camera ba dito?

"Oh-kay?" I asked

"Si Caren" Paul said

"Si Caren? Oh, what about her?" I asked

"Steph is Caren" Chian said "her full name is Caren Stephanie. She uses Steph during her vacation, kung saan kami nagmeet" Chian explained

"It's crazy right? And guess what yung set up nila sa villa, they are room mates, they stayed in one cabin" Paul added

"Shut it, the cabin have rooms, we stayed in different room" Chian replied

Wait

This is too much information, my head is hurting

My heart is hurting too

"Trip niyo ba ako guys?" I asked and chuckled

Paul and Chian both looked at me with their 'no, we are not tripping you' faces

"It's the truth" Chian said tapos tumalikod na siya sa amin ni Paul and walked away from us

Napasandal na lang ako sa locker ko because I really feel defeated right now

"You're surprised right?" Paul asked while getting things from his locker "ako rin, last night. Hindi ko maabsorb yung nangyari until they hugged each other bago kami umuwi sa dorm"

"They hugged each other?" I asked with my asar na voice

"Why? Are you going to throw a fit?" Paul asked "I told you to stop, kung nakita mo lang yung scene kagabi, maybe right after that, you'll stop coming to Chi"

"I was.. I was too eager for them to meet" I looked at Paul "Caren and Christian, I want them to meet, I want her to know him para kapag nagkwekwento ako, she'll have idea about it, I didn't know..."

"And laging hindi natutuloy diba?" Paul asked and didn't let me finish my sentence "maybe if you'll realize, na, baka kaya hindi sila nagmemeet is because you were there"

"Anong gusto mong palabasin?"

"That they don't need you for them to meet. They are destined to meet again and you cannot do something about it. I am telling you this para you'll stop na. Chian said na sabihin sayo na you should stop hurting yourself, he will never comeback to you"

"Maybe this is the thing na gustong sabihin sa akin ni Caren, we will meet later after class"

"Hear her out, wala rin naman siyang idea. Just want to remind you that friends kayo"

"Maybe not anymore" I said and looked at Paul

"I did my part. Don't go cry around in the coming days because nakita mo silang magkasama" Paul said and walked away from me too

Everyone's walking away from me. Hindi na ba ako mahalaga? Hindi ba valid yung mga nararamdaman ko ngayon? Wala ba akong karapatang masaktan?

 Hindi na ba ako mahalaga? Hindi ba valid yung mga nararamdaman ko ngayon? Wala ba akong karapatang masaktan?
