What happened to us?

Chapter 1

Eli's POV

It's sunday today and I decided to go out for grocery. Bago ko pa makuha ang cart tumawag na sakin ang  bestfriend kong si Sandra.

"Hey what's up?" I asked.

"Hoy! Anong what's up ka diyan ha?! Kelan ka ba uuwi dito sa Pinas?! Soon ka ng soon pero hanggang ngayon hindi ka pa umuuwi!" Singhal niya.

I just chuckled and get a cart then pushed it.

"Hahaha I'm sorry I promise after the event I'll talk to my manager for a leave." Sagot ko habang nag lalagay ng fruits sa cart.

"Tss promise yan ha! After ng fashion show mo ha!"

I'm a model here in New York and we will going to have a fashion show for the summer season.

"Yup sige na I'll hang up nag ggrocery ako."

"Alright bye!" Paalam niya.

After doing groceries I went straight to my condo unit to rest, tomorrow we will going to have a rehearsal for the event.

I slept and woke up at 6:00pm to eat dinner, I just cooked a steak with baby potatoes for the side dish and a wine.

I can see the city lights here from my seat, it feels nostalgic. I remember back then we used to go up on a hill just to see the city lights. But now it's just me...alone, without him it feels so sad.

I erased those thoughts, I should be moving on right now and move forward. I washed the dishes and took a bath before going to bed.

*kriiingg*  *kriiingg*

Nagising ako sa tunog ng alarm clock ko, it's 5:00 in the morning and our rehearsal is 6:00am up to 9:00am. I only have an hour before I go there.

I took a bath and wear a black skinny jeans and a black halter top partnered with a black high top converse. Ngayon din i fafinalize yung mga susuotin namin for tomorrow kaya mag susukat pa kami after rehearsal.

I didn't eat breakfast instead I just drink coffee while facing the city buildings. After that I left my condo and went straight to the venue.

"Eli dear." Bati ng bakla naming manager.

Bumeso siya sakin at nilahad ang stage, I saw a few models preparing for the rehearsals. I just smirked, those are the one who are afraid of our manager. Of course sino ba namang gugustuhin na mapahiya ka sa isang pag kakamali lang diba? I heared they are the new models.

Oh well anyway they should really do their best and avoid doing mistakes besides our management are one of the most well known fashion line here in New York.

Gladly I'm well trained and sa finale ako laging inaasign, where the pro and famous models are.

The rehearsal lasted for about 3 hours  fininalize lang yung susuotin for tomorrow and then we're done. I decided to go to mall to eat early lunch since hindi naman ako nag breakfast kanina.

It's 11:00pm nang makarating ako sa mall and I head to the nearest restaurant which is an Italian restaurant. I ate there and after that nag pa spa ako and ask for some treatments for my hair.

It was 3:00 in the afternoon ng matapos kami sa body spa and hair treatment ko. My nails are good and nakapag pa facial nadin naman ako nung saturday so I think I'm done for today I just need a beauty rest.

I went home and lay down on my bed hanggang sa unti unti na akong makatulog. Nagising nalang ako ng may maramdaman akong yumuyugyog saakin.

"Ughhh ano baaa." I groaned habang naka pikit padin. Sino ba kasi yung unggoy na yumuyugyog sakin.

"Fuck." I cursed ng bigla akong dinaganan ng hinayupak na unggoy. Pagkamulat ko nakita ko ang nakakabanas na pag mumuka ni Lucas.

"Come on Eli! Wake up! I cooked our dinner." He said.

"Tss." Sabi ko at bumangon na, tinignan ko  siya ng masama at ngumisi lang siya sakin.

"Why are you here ba?" Tanong ko na may halong pagkairita.

"Why? Can't I sleep here? Tomorrow is the fashion show and malapit lang ang condo mo sa venue kaya sabay na tayo, I already brought my stuffs." He explained.

"Napaka tamad mo talaga, kahit sa rehearsal hindi ka pumunta."

Yes he is also a model, sa finale din siya naka asign tss napaka lakas talaga ng loob ng lalaking to.

"Ako pa! Baka nakakalimutan mo I'm Lucas James William one of the hottest famous model around the world HAHAHAH."

Napaka yabang talaga, I stand up and went outside. I saw two plates at may ulam sa gitna, and then I sat down.

"I'm going back to Philippines after the event." I said that made him stop from sitting infront of me at kalaunan ay naka bawi din sa pag kakagulat at umupo na din sa harap ko.

"Are you fine now?" He asked with a hint of concern.

Actually I really don't know if I really should go back.

"I-i don't know." Sabi ko na halos pabulong na habang nakayuko.

"Tss then why are you going back if you're still not sure?" He asked in a serious tone.

"Sandra want's me to visit her." I explained while putting a rice on my plate then I also put on his.

Napatingin siya duon at bumalik muli ang tingin saakin.

"I'll go with you." He said with finality.

Napairap nalang ako at nag lagay ng ulam sa plato naming dalawa.

"You don't have to Lucas kaya ko naman besides you have to pursue yo-"

"May mga offers ako from the Philippines I can take that while we're there."

"Lucas don't risk your career just because of me."

Lucas is my friend since I got here in New York nagkakilala kami sa isang small agency and decided na lumipat ng sabay sa isang mas kilalang fashion line. Lucky we both got accepted because of our experience.
He is half Filipino and half American but born and raised in the Philippines.

"I'm not risking it Eli malalaki din naman yung offer and it doesn't mean na aalis na ako sa agency I'll just take a leave. I bet hindi ka naman mag tatagal duon diba?"

"Yes uhm maybe a weeks or two?"

"Make it month, I think you need a rest also."

Napaka gulo talaga nito tss.

"How about you?" I asked.

"Pwede naman akong bumalik dito if needed na talaga then I'll just visit you."

"If that's what you want then go." I said giving up.

After we ate dinner I insisted na ako na ang mag hugas ng pinggan tutal siya naman ang nag luto. He stayed on the living room while watching until I was finished, then we decided to sleep.

Pagkapasok ko sa kuwarto ko I just took a half bath then I lay down on my bed. It's been 2 years since I left and I'm still not sure if I'm ready to go back.

A tear escaped from my eyes, bakit ang hirap kalimutan? I closed my eyes and let myself to fall asleep.
