He Suddenly Came Back

Chapter 38

CHAPTER 38: What's his problem?

(Zoe's POV)

I wasn't doing anything, nakaupo lang ako sa office ko and I'm bored. Tatlong araw na si Tristan sa Cali and I already miss him so much although tumatawag naman siya lagi – every morning, noontime, afternoon, nighttime, everytime he has a time, ganun kahit magkaiba yung oras namin. He always tells me every happening there and I do the same.

Biglang nag ring ang phone ko, I thought it was a call from my boyfriend but it turns out to be from Cindy. After so many years, nagparamdam narin. Ano na kayang nangyari dito? Simula kasi nung pinasok siya sa trabaho ng Mommy niya, di na kami masyadong nakakapag-usap.

"Hello Zoe!" she shouted from the other line.

"Hello too! Huwag ka ngang sumigaw, di ako bingi. Bruha ka, anyare na sayo? Ilang weeks na tayong di nakapag-usap? Kamusta ka na?"

"Ay, tadtarin daw ba ako ng tanong. I'm good Zoe, I'm always good." She answered a bit sarcastic.

"E 'bat ganyan yung tono mo?"

"Psh. E kasi naman e, sobrang sungit padin ni Brian, dinaig pa yung babaeng nagmemenopause."

"Sus! Yan din yung sinabi mo the other time na nag-usap tayo." Sa tuwing nag-uusap kami, di nawawala yung ranting niya about sa boss niyang sobrang sungit.

"What can I do, he's getting on my nerves, as always."

"Yeah, I can see that. Kung masungit pala yan, bat naka tawag ka ngayon? Diba oras pa ngayon ng trabaho mo and you told me ayaw nun ng mga extra chuchu's when it comes to working."

"May board meeting sila. Buti nga di ako pinasama, nakakapagod kayang mag take note sa mga napag-uusapan nila. Confidential daw kasi yung meeting kaya sila lang. Tapos di nalang si Brian yung asungot sa mundo ko, nandiyan pa si Matt, ginugulo niya yung buhay, araw-araw di na ako natatahimik, tapos –"

"Wait, what?" I stopped her "Matt?" I questioned.

"Yep, Matt."

"As in Matthew Ross Ramirez?"

"Uh-huh."

"You mean your ex boyfriend?"

"Oo nga sabi diba?"

"Oh my God." Nagtagpo na yung landas nila. Gulo yan. I know how much she hated that guy. Nahuli niya kasi itong may kahalikan na ibang babae. I knew Matt knows she saw them kissing but he didn't even bother apologizing or even talking to Cindy, then they jumped to a conclusion that they already broke up... no closure happened.

"Oh my God talaga. You know, the moment I saw him, the first thing I want to do is strangle him to death, pasalamat siya at nandun si Brian kaya pinigilan ko yung sarili ko."

She used to love Matt, I know. Kahit I deny pa niya sa akin. She was badly hurt, though maldita yan, she's loyal to her man and she gives her full attention to him kaya hindi ko lubos maisip kung bakit niloko siya ni Matt noon.

"So ano na?"

"Anong 'ano na'?"

"Kaya mo pa ba diyan?'

She slightly laughed. "Matt and I are good friends now. He said sorry and I accepted it. Matagal na yun, nakalimutan ko na nga yung existence niya sa mundo kung di lang kami nagkita ulit."

I breathed. "Buti naman."

"Yeah, di naman ako katulad mo na masyadong attached kaya matagal makalimot. Speaking of, kamusta na kayong dalawa?"
