When Heartbeat Stops [COMPLETED]

Chapter 27

-

Sun rises already but I didn't get up on my bed. I felt exhausted. I felt really really tired. My eyes were tired from crying, my body felt numb, and my heart was tired from aching. Even though I still have work, I decided to stay in my room until I heard a knock.

"Anasthasia, lumabas ka na!", its Andeng's voice.

"Hindi pa katapusan ng mundo", Dannex shout.

"Open the damn door, Brena", Gal said. I didn't move. I know na gusto nila ako damayan but I want to be alone. I want to escape from this. Parang mababaliw ako. I sighed after hearing a silence. Aalis rin sila, iiwan rin nila 'ko.

"Thasia", I heard Dionne's voice. Napapikit ako kasi naiiyak na naman ako. I am being such crybaby and it's not good. Gosh! "Thasia, usap tayo", he said in a soft voice. I shook my head as response kahit hindi niya 'ko nakikita.

"Amporkchop, sisipain ko na 'tong pinto mo tutal kaya ko naman 'to palitan!", Dannex yelled at narinig ko nga na sinipa niya ang pintuan ko.

"Siraulo ka talaga, Dannex!", Andeng scold him.

"Eh ayaw buksan 'e, mamaya nagpatiwakal na 'yan", he stated. I rolled my eyes. Kahit kailan talaga si Dannex.

"Anasthasia, open the door", Gal pleased. And I started hearing consecutive knocks from them. Ugh! Sumasakit ulo ko sa kanila. I stood up and open the damn door for them. Right after 'ko buksan, niyakap agad ako ni Andeng and I heard her sobs.

"Bakit ka umiiyak d'yan?", I asked her.

"Gusto mag-artista ni Andeng, ano ka ba", Dannex joked kaya sinipa siya ni Andeng.

"Let us in first", Gal ordered. I rolled my eyes and let the four of them in. Dionne looked at me with his soft eyes and gave me a smile. I smiled back.

"We heard what happened last night", Gal started. He and Dionne sat on the couch while the other two sat on my bed.

"Chismoso kasi kaming mga pinsan mo", Dannex said and humiga pa sa kama 'ko. "Ang galing talaga ng architect ko mag-design tapos ako pa engineer", he said while rolling on my bed like a kid, pinalo tuloy siya ni Andeng.

"We called your boyfriend because you didn't come to work", Gal said and eyed me.

"I want to be alone", I told them.

"Baka magpakamatay ka sa lungkot", Dannex said.

I glared at him. "I won't do that", I fired back. "So, leave me alone for now", I requested but they didn't follow.

"Your boyfriend is worried to death", Gal said, 'di pinansin ang sinabi 'ko. I looked at Dionne. "Don't be selfish, cousin", Gal added.

"Is having alone time for myself being selfish now, Gallastian?", I asked, offended by his words. "I just want to be alone, is that too hard to understand?".

"And is it too hard to let us be with you, Anasthasia?", Dannex asked back. "English 'yon, wag 'ka", he added kaya binatukan na naman siya ni Andeng.

"Just leave me alone", I said. "Just...please!".

Dionne stood up first. "Tara na, hayaan na muna natin siya", he told to my cousins. Napatingin sila kay Dionne tsaka binaling ang tingin sa akin at umiling.
