Dream Come True

29

I slowly put my feet on the floor.

I don't know how to face him, what a embarrassment.

I heard the restroom's door open.

"Sha-"

He didn't finish his sentence when I'm suddenly run upstairs and jump to the bed. I covered myself with the comforter.

What the hell, Shakiara? What did you do?

"Wanna swim?" I heard him so I pursed my lips.

"J-just go, I don't want" I shouted.

We'll spend the new year, here. Paano na lang buhay ko nito?

I can't even stand with him.

I heard the footsteps until the door closed.

Dahan-dahan akong lumabas sa comforter na pinagtataguan ko at sinilip kung andoon pa si Spade.

But I guess he's now outside, swimming.

*ringggg*

[Hey sissy!]

Good thing, Kara called me so I can calm now.

"Merry Christmas!"

[Merry Christmas!] sabay naming bati sa isa't isa.

"Why did you call now and not last night?" I asked in a monotone.

[Sorry naman ha? We're celebrating too] she sarcastically said.

"Su-"

[Ma! Ma! Shit!]

I stop talking when I heard Kara's cursed.

"Kara? Anong nangyayari?" I nervously asked.

[Ma!!! Tulong!]

I heard how Kara screamed and I felt guilty because I'm not with her now.

"K-kara?"

I also heard the footsteps and the screaming of the other people on the other line.

My hands are shaking and my knees are trembling.

My bestfriend needs me.

I hurriedly took my luggage and put inside my clothes and personal belongings.

I heard a footsteps walking towards me but I just ignored it. I'm in a hurry.

"Shakiara?" I heard Spade asked but I'm still ignores him.

I need to go back in Manila, right now.

I saw the shock on his face.

"Why?" he seriously asked.

"I need to go back in the Manila" I said nervously.

"Sure, I'll get us a ticket for tomorr-"

"No, I need it now" I cut him off.

"But, it's hard to fly back there. It's Christmas" he calmly said.

"I'll do anything. You don't need to come with me. Just enjoy the vacation here" I said and started searching available tickets to Manila.

"No, I'll come with you" he said and start packing his things.

I tried to call Kara again but it's now cannot be reach.
