Borrowing Sebastian [COMPLETED]

Chapter Twenty-eight

I picked my gray hoodie and a pair of shorts before going out. Hindi na ako nag-abala pang mag-ayos since I don't have enough energy to do so. Besides, I'm just going to meet someone, no biggie.

"Nay, mauna na po muna ako." paalam ko at hindi ko na hinintay pa ang sagot ni Nanay sa akin. I hate how the way they look at me. It makes me feel I'm a fragile child who needs to be taken care of. I hate how they felt sorry about what happened and higit sa lahat, ayaw kong makaramdam sila ng galit kay Sebastian.

Marami ang naitulong sa amin 'yong tao and ayaw kong maramdaman nilang may utang silang kailangang bayaran ngayong wala na kami ni Sebastian.

Wala na kami ni Sebastian...

Masakit pa rin pala kahit ilang araw na ang nakalipas. I thought moving on was as simple as one, two, three but it turned out that it's complicated more than counting from to millions nor hundreds.

The man opened the door for me and he then greeted me while smiling widely. I just smiled timidly and roamed the place. Everyone's wearing their extravagant  clothes and the place shouts classy and formality. Iginala ko naman ang paningin ko sa aking suot at napatawa ng sarkastiko.

I didn't knew I could be this cheap after break-up.

Well, nilapitan ko ang babaeng naghihintay sa akin sa kanang bahagi ng restaurant at nakita ko naman siyang napatayo matapos akong makita.

"Kirsten..."

I smiled at her when she motioned me to sit down across where she was sitting. Nakita kong itinaas niya ang kamay at may lumapit na waiter sa gilid namin. I bit my lip when she already ordered for me when I didn't answer her kung ano ang gusto kong kakainin.

Does she deserved my rude treatment?

I cleared my throat first bago nagsalita. The woman doesn't deserve my cold treatment. In fact, if it weren't for her, baka hanggang ngayon ay bulag pa rin ako sa katotohanan. Baka hanggang ngayon, patuloy pa rin akong umaasa sa pagmamahalan namin ni Sebastian.

"How's Sebastian?" I asked her. I even saw her a bit shock on my question. Why? Is it wrong to ask about him? Sinaktan ako nung tao pero may puso pa naman ako. Last time I saw him, he was devastated and I just hope he's already fine.

"He's wasted for the past few days but Dad talked to him last night. And earlier, I saw him in suit. Maybe he's in the company right now."

I nodded my head while playing with my fingers. Narinig kong napabuntong hininga si Samantha sa harap ko at naramdaman kong hinawakan niya ang kanang kamay ko. I looked up at her and I saw her looking me — feeling sorry.

"I'm sorry about what happened. I just don't want to prolong your relationship with my brother lalo na't may pamilya siya."

My lips trembled in pain. Kailangan ba talaga nilang ulit-ulitin na may pamilya na ang taong mahal ko? Akala ko okay na ako that's why I agreed to talk with her pero masakit pa rin pala.

"Can you..." I trailed first bago nagpatuloy, "can you tell me the whole story? The truth alone? No lies and fabricated story? I just want to hear it loud para matauhan ako at maglakas-loob na kausapin sa huling pagkakataon ang kapatid mo." I uttered and I felt my tears forming inside my eyelids at pilit ko naman itong nilalabanan. "I know the story shouldn't be coming from you but I don't want to hear lies from Sebastian anymore. Baka kapag gawin niya 'yon, baka babalik ako sa kaniya. Please, Miss Samantha, tell me the truth."

Her lips formed a thin line and touch my hands above the table. "Antoinette is Sebastian's first love back in Sweden," she started at tinitigan ako — trying to weigh things out if dapat pa ba siyang magpatuloy. I signed her to continue and she just nodded.
