My Ideal Girl

Chapter 19

Azalea

Where the hell is the ring!!!

I flipped the bag over a lot of times but the ring isn't really there!

While Boss D's driver and I were fixing Maam Jema's car, I asked him where in Baguio is the best place to propose.

This is the place he suggested.

Mountains that are filled with various flowers. The place is really romantic. Jho took a lot of pictures.

Unfortunately, the ring is missing.

I don't want to think who the hell took it. There's no use. I don't want to blame anyone but myself. I could have put it in my pocket and place it safe in there the whole time.

We are now on our hotel room. Jho is watching tv while chatting with her sister. I hear her phone beeping every second. Maybe my Baby is telling Jaja all that's happened on our trip.

She is so happy.

I am kind of...

Well, my brain is working.

I am thinking how will I be able to leave her for a while. Of course she will ask why I have to leave her alone.

Escape early in the morning?

No. She wakes up earlier than me.

Leave her somewhere tomorrow?

No again. I cannot do that.

She may go out and search for me and she might get lost in this place.

What should I do?!

Mafe Calling...

Why is she calling me?

I went to the terrace. I don't want Jho to know this.

This is the last time she'll call me anyway.

"Hello?"

"Wala ba talaga?"

She's crying...

I can hear her sobs over the phone.

"Pasensya na ha. Ang nasa isip ko kanina nung pinakialaman ko yung bag ay kukuhanin ko yung IDs niyo para mahassle kayo. Alam mo na, maldita lang."

Maldita?

That will be an understatement.

"Ganun ba? Kailangan ko bang magpasalamat dahil hindi ang mga yon ang kinuha mo? You are so mean Mafe. Hindi mo ba nahahalata na pinepeste mo na ang buhay ko? Do you really get happy when you piss me?!"

I can't help it. I need to say all of this before I block her on my phone.

"Wala ba talaga Lea?"

I wonder how a woman or human in general can be this pathetic.

"Look, tigilan mo na. Kung meron man akong naramdaman sayo before, wala na ngayon. As in wala na talaga. Kung alam ko lang na ganyan ka, hindi kita sana kinausap kahit isang beses."
