The Life Note At A Time

Kabanata 24

"Okay then, let's buy a gift tomorrow for the newlyweds" sabi ni Mitch pagkatapos makuha ang inorder ko saka kami tumayo at lumabas ng shop. Ang sabi ko sa kanya ay dadalhin ko sya sa Company but she refused. Magkalaban daw kasi ang Company nila kaya malabong mangyari ang gusto ko.

So, I have no choice but to get het in our house. We took a bus for less expenses than a grab.

"Uhm, you said that uh... Shawn was the Best Man for the wedding right?" I asked while we are here in the bus. She nodded and asked right after.

"Why? Do you miss him?" she said frankly. Kumunot agad ang noo ko hearing that question but I asked her back instead.

"Why would I?" my question sounds so defensive so she mocked me.

"Why won't you?" she said calmly that makes me out of words. well, I kinda. Ever since I left him. I always do. Everyday I wake up I miss him beside me. "I..."

"It's okay," she looks guilty so, I smiled to her to assure that it was fine to me. When we arrive the house. My mom was surprised by Mitch's presence because he didn't expect that Mitch will actually go here.

I walk upstairs to go to my room while they are talking. I closed the door when I got inside and sit on my bed while looking at Marcus's text.

From: Marcus

I talked to my sister. She said that she wants you personally told her.

I closed my eyes while thinking how could they so calm when I almost quit. Maybe they are just too kind to me. I feel guilty for them. I pouted my lips then got up to go to the company.

"Mom, I need to go to the company. I'll be right back in a bit." I told them saka lumabas ng bahay. Mitch didn't asked maybe she knew that I having a hard time taking a whole week leave for the wedding.

"Marcus, didn't told me." I said to Sam, paano kasi isa pala sa mga friends nila ate Lily si Marcus kaya kailamgan ay naroon rin sya sa kasal nila.

"Well, I think you too should go together." she said while smiling to me. I awkrdly smiled to her. Why would she said that. "Honestly, I like you for my brother."

I suddenly choked while drinking a water. Agad nagalala ang itsura nya kaya ngumiti ako sa kanya. Umiwas ako ng tingin dahil sa hiya. Kumunot kasi ang noo nya ng marealize ang naging reaction ko dahil sa sinabi nya.

"I'm sorry, Sam. I have someone who are already here," sabi ko ng malungkot saka tinuro ang aking kaliwang dibdib kung nasaan ang aking puso. She smiled happily saka tumango.

"I understand, take care. Don't forget to give me pasalubong when you came back." I winked at her saka masayang lumabas ng office nya. She's so kind. Too much kindness that I can't lie to her. Because, she was too precious to me. There is one thing that comes to my mind whenever I'm thinking how she cares for me. Maybe she's seeing herself to me.

"Let me help you," Marcus said. Kinuha nya ang maleta ko at sya na ang nagtulak. Nandito kami sa Airport ngayon dahil kakarating lang namin dito sa Pinas. Kaming tatlo lang nila Mitch at Marcus ang umuwi dahil ayaw ni Mommy na sumama dahil sa tatay ko.

"Thank you," sabi ko kay Marcus pagkasakay sa Van. Kila Marcus ang van na sinasakyan namin ngayon papuntang Batangas. Actually bukas na ang kasal at duon kami magistay sa hotel nila Mitch.

Wala pa man kami roon ay kinakabahan na ako sa mga maaring mangyari. Ang dami daming palaisipan agad ang pumapasok sa aking isip. Excited akong makita si Shawn. Yun ang nararamdaman ko ngayon pero nasasaktan akong makitang nasasaktan si Marcus sa tuwing nakikita nya kung gaano ako kasayang makauwi muli rito.
