Almost Perfect

CHAPTER 23

I wake up around 7 AM, kinuha ko yung cellphone ko at in-open yung facebook app. It's early pa naman at wala rin akong gagawin ngayon. Nag scroll ako sa news feed ko. Meron akong notif and it's from Janine, a tagged post of a meme. I ignore it. I keep scrolling.

A video was tagged on Kienn. I dont know this person who tagged him. Burn was the caption. Naka autoplay kaya nakita ko si Cindy sa video. I'm curios about it kaya ipinagpatuloy ko. Cindy was drunk. She's wearing a mini skirt and a sleeveless top. Katabi niyang naka upo si Kienn and he is watching her. She's so drunk kaya tumayo siya at nag simulang sumayaw. Nakarinig ako ng hiyawan, nakikisabay din si Kienn sa pag tawa. Maya-maya pa ay nag simulang lumapit si Cindy kay Kienn.

Umupo siya sa gilid ni Kienn at nag simulang isiksik ang katawan niya sa gilid ni Kienn. The noise becomes louder. I saw how Kienn tries to avoid her. Napapikit ako ng sapilitang lumapit si Cindy sa mukha ni Kienn.

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" I heard the people cheered. Cindy leaned closer to Kienn. I know it will hurt me but I can't stop myself from watching it. She lean to Kienn's face but suddenly, Kienn stood up.

"Stop!" Kienn shouted. The cheers of the crowd disappeared. He stood up and glared at Cindy who look confused and disappointed at the same time.

"Know your position Yssa. I'm not buying your shit. You are my friend and you are my workmate too so act like one. Stop being a flirt." seryosong sabi niya. The video ended. I don't know if Cindy cried after that or what. Hindi ko rin alam kung umalis si Kienn pagkatapos or nag stay siya sa mga kasama niya. Maraming sad react at marami ring comments. I refuse to read the comments, I'm sure mga worried comments yung kay Cindy and harsh words for Kienn.

The video made me mad. Not for Kienn but for his so called friend Yssa. I know she likes Kienn but it's just too much! How could she?! She knows that I am the girlfriend here! She's really flirting Kienn! Can't she just stay still and wait for us to break up?

"She's a flirt! A slut! And a bitch!" sigaw ko. I hate her! I really hate her! I hate her even more!

I dialed Kienn's number but he is not picking up. I dialed it again and thank god he answered it for the second time.

"You had fun?" bungad ko sa kaniya. I heard him groaned.

(What?) he asked.

"What happened next?" it took him a second to answer.

(I guess you saw it.)  he breathe.

"Yeah of course." I fake a laugh.

(She cried. In front of everyone. Sorry for saying harsh words to you sister.) I raised a brow.

"Step sister." I corrected him.

"And don't worry, you did great. She deserves it anyway. I don't mind, unless you do? She's your so called friend after all." I tried to be sarcastic.

(Yeah right. I feel a little bit guilty about it. Hindi pa kami nag u-usap. Maybe later.) I rolled my eyes unconsciously.

"You will make up with her?" I tried to be calm.

(Yeah I guess.) I want to scream right now and beg for him to don't talk to Cindy anymore! But I can't just do it easily!

"Is she... important to you?" mahinang tanong ko. I'm really trying hard to not get jealous about it.

(Yeah, sort of. I knew her since then and she's like my little sister and every time we fight, we tried to figure it out together.) his answers are making me damn jealous! To much to handle for me! Imagining that they grew up together! Spending time to each other! And seeing each other grow! It makes me go nuts!
