News

Kinabukasan nagising ako sa malakas na tunog ng cellphone ko pagkakita ko ay si Cha ang tumatawag

"Cha?" napapaos kong sagot sa kanya

"Aurie! Did you see the news?"

"What news?"

"Yung nangyari kagabi sa hospital? Open your tv now" nawala na si Cha sa kabilang line, naguguluhan man ay binuksan ko ang tv at gaya ng sabi nya ay kami ang laman ng balita nakakairita nakita ko pa na may ilang netizens ang ininterview tungkol sa scoop kagabi

"Are they back together? Baka naman hindi talaga sila nag break"

"She was just using Ryre"

"Si Aurie ang nakipag break...Ryre is a martyr"

"She break up with him...why did he still pursuing her?"

"Ang haba ng hair ni Aurie sana all kahit sya nakipag break mahal pa din"

I immediately turn off the TV bakit samin yung center ng issue? andun din si Cha at si Ian and why they did bring up the break up issue? It was years ago for pete's sake! siguradong sa internet ay kami ang topic at kagaya ng inaasahan ay ganoon nga but unlike before ay hindi na ako nagpapa apekto sa mga comments nila it doesn't matter anyway, tumunog na naman ang phone ko this time ay si Ian naman ang natawag

"Hello?"

"Hey Aurie are you ok?"

"Yes ok lang naman Ian, why did you asked?"

"I saw the news"

"Ahh its fine im used to it"

"Good thing hindi kana nagpapaapekto kagaya noon"

"Yes I learned my lessons"

"Good. By the way gising na si Clark were planning to visit him this afternoon around 5pm, you want to come with us?"

"Sure"

"Alright can you call ryre?"

"Ok sige"

"Yun lang bye!"

Pagkababa ng phone ay tinawagan ko si ryre ang tagal nya sumagot I was about to drop the call when he speak

"Yes hello?" his voice is husky siguro ay kakagising lang nito or nagising ko sya

"Ryre sorry did I wake you up?"

"No no...it's fine what is it?"

"Uhm Ian said na gising na si Clark"

"Ok let's visit him this afternoon I will pick you up"

"Ok ryre around 5pm daw?"

"Sure see you later, by the way goodmorning"

"Good morning too...see you later" when I drop the call ay napatingin lang ang sa phone ko at napahawak naman ako sa dibdib ko shit! bakit ang lakas ng heartbeat ko when in fact its just a simple good morning from him? Damn I think I need a really good shower

Before 5pm ay bihis na ako, I decided to wear a sleeveless baby blue dress and a gladiator shoes...I just put some light make up, and wait for ryre to be here, mga 5:15 siguro ito nakarating sa bahay nakakunot noo pa sya ng mapatingin sakin

"Shall we go?" I asked him

"Ah yes let's go"

Sabay kami sumakay sa sasakyan nya tahimik lang kami sa daan ng basagin nya ang katahimikan sa pagitan namin

"Did you saw the news?" He asked me habang nakatingin sa daan

"Yes I saw kaninang umaga"

"Can I ask you again Aurie?"

"About what?"

"You said when you broke up with me you don't want us because of the people I mean the press, you hated so much attentions, but I think it was a lame excuse"

"It was not easy...I was judge by the people with knowing what really happened, they tend to say that im just using you"

"As if I care about what are they saying, you don't use me your a Manjares just like my family before you was born your already in the spotlight"

"Ryre can we not talk about this? Matagal na yon and besides hindi na ako nagpapaapekto pa sa sasabihin ng iba"

"Your right we should not talk about this"
