Best Part of Me

9

I sat at the road gutter and wiped my tears. I just decided to took out my phone.

I stared at it, hanggang ngayon ay nandito pa ang missed call galing sa number ni Ash. I tried to press the dial button but ended it immediately.

I sighed deeply and hide my phone again.

"Madam okay ka lang?" Napatingin ako kay Jonas na ngayon ay nasa harap ko na, he sat beside me and handed me a bottle of mineral water.

"Do I look like I'm fine?" Iritableng tanong ko. Hindi na siya sumagot at tahimik lang na naupo sa tabi ko. I opened the bottle of water and drank.

"I did not expect that this would happen." I suddenly said. I heard him sigh beside me.

"Why don't you try to make it work? Tutal wala ka namang boyfriend." Kumento niya. I glared at him and threw the bottle of water at him.

"I have a boyfriend!" Inis na sigaw ko. Bigla na lamang siyang natawa sa sinabi ko.

"Alam ba niyang boyfriend mo siya?" Natatawang tanong niya.

"Hindi. But does it matter?" I told him which made him laugh even more. Nakakainis! Bakit ba nandito itong butler na to?!

I suddenly remember that piggy back ride. I unconsciously smile at that thought. That's freakin sweet.

"Bakit ba ayaw mong makasal dun?" Tanong niya sa akin.

"That's not the Zoe I knew. Dati isang utos lang sayo susunod ka, as long as you can have everything you wanted." He added.

I looked above and smiled.

"I'm still that Zoe that won't stop unless I got what I want. And I want him, I won't stop until he would want me too." He chuckled at messed my hair.

Inaya niya na akong umuwi, we went home and the house was already quiet.

"Umalis na sila, may business daw sa ibang bansa." Sabi ni Jonas.

I just nodded and went straight to my room, after taking a bath I decided to sleep.

Maaga akong nag-ayos pagkagising ko. Today is another day, I should set aside everything that happened yesterday.

Nag-ayos ako, I put on concealer to conceal my puffy eyes. Bumaba ako ngunit nabigla ako ng hindi si Jonas ang maabutan ko sa living room.

I stopped walking and looked at him. It was Jordan.

"W-what are you doing here?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko. I roamed my eyes trying to find Jonas.

"Ihahatid kita." He said which made my forehead crease even more.

"Jonas!" I shouted at him but no one came.

"U-uh, I think he went somewhere." He said. I stared at him confusedly trying to analyze the situation. He sighed and scratched his eyebrow.

"My mom asked me to take you to school. I hate the idea too." He said. I can't believe this was happening.

"O-okay." I answered and went out to the car park.

"Jordan have you talked to your parents? Did you asked them to stop the marriage?" I asked. He sighed.

"I told them but I don't think I could make them change their mind." He answered.

"So? Are you really going to push it through?! No way!" I shouted.

"Why don't we just pretend? Maybe they would change their mind in the future." He said. I just rolled my eyes, ano bang magagawa ko? Kapag talaga naging kami ni Ash, I swear I'm going to fucking break that engagement.
