Misguided Stars

Chapter 33

In his perspective…

Nakaupo lang ako sa gilid na table ngayon dito sa Blue Nest. Akalain mo na may gig pala ngayon Ben&Ben. Sayang 'di ko kasama si Bea. Pero 'di bale, for sure naman mag-eenjoy siya sa company nila Trey ngayon and I will take her to one of Ben&Ben gigs one of these days na lang, before siya umalis...

Someone entered and it was Julia. She looks so stressed and medyo pumayat pa siya. She immediately approached me so I stood up and nagbeso sa kanya

"Hi…"

"Hello. Sorry medyo late ako…" she said. I just smiled and inassist siya para makaupo na

"Do you want some drinks?" I asked. She nodded lang

"Light drink lang. I want to be clearheaded…"

"Okay. I'll order lang saglit…" I stood up and ordered sa counter. I was looking at her while waiting. She changed a lot, that's for sure. But who am I to judge her? Ehh ang tagal na naming hindi nakapag-usap

Nung okay na yung order namin, bumalik na rin naman ako agad sa table namin

"Here…" abot ko sa kanya nung cocktail

"Thanks!"

I took a sip from my drink and she did too. Pero hindi naman nagtagal, I heard her speak na rin

"Okay I'll get straight to the point kung bakit ako nagdecide na makipagkita sa'yo…" I focused my attention on her and let her speak. I saw her gaining her courage

"I won't deny na I had and still have feelings for you. Pero nung time na you approached me before, I got scared. Hindi pa ako prepared nun kasi natraumatize ako with everything that happened with my family. Tapos nung nafeel ko naman na ready na ako, I decided agad to return here in the Philippines. Kaso huli na pala ang lahat kasi you have Bea na. That time, I was so frustrated with everything that's why I decided na pumunta na lang ulit sa US..." I nodded and she continued

"Although wala akong kinalaman sa anomaly, I was the one who convinced Tito Paul to invest sa company niyo and sa company nila Bea. Kasi I thought na I can use that to blackmail Bea to leave you, and I did. But I've been observing the both of you these past few days and I saw a different twinkle in your eyes. I saw how happy you were when you're with her. Hindi ko yun nakita sa mga mata mo nung ako yung kasama mo dati. Dun ko narealize na iwanan ka man niya, I know that I won't replace her in your heart…" I sighed

"I'm sorry Julia…" yun na lang yung nasabi ko. She just smiled and tried to pull back her tears

"Ano ka ba you don't have to say sorry. Ako naman yung may mali. Kasi ipinilit ko pa yung gusto ko and hindi ko agad nakita yung mga damages na I will cause dahil sa kagagahan ko. Sorry sa lahat…" I just smiled and hugged her. Kasi yun yung feeling ko na pinakatamang gawin nung panahon na yun

When we separated, we just smiled at each other. Sakto naman na nakita kong nagsasalita na yung host sa stage

"You should watch them Juls. They're really good. That's Bea's favorite band right now…" napangiti naman ako sa thought na yun

"Wow grabe ka mainlove ha. Maisip mo lang favorite band niya napangiti ka na agad nang sobra…" natawa naman ako

"Once you found your true love, you will be smiling like crazy also. Maalala mo lang siya, parang kinikilig ka na agad…" napatingin naman siya na parang naccringe tapos nagtawanan lang kami. It's feels great! It's good to know that we're still friends after all this mess
