Inexplicable Love (Completed)

Kabanata 16

"Did you take a rest?"

Were here at the van on the way to the aiport. Im wearing loose high waisted pants and croptop. And a bit of makeup. This is the day that im going to manila. I don't know what to feel.

"Yeah,I did." I answered kelly. Stacy was on my side fixing my hair. And after a minute were here at airport. We don't have time to eat breakfast. Buti na lang kumain ako kahit papaano bago umalis.

We booked business class kaya nauna kami pumasok sa plane. I message grace yesterday that im coming and she's excited. And im excited to meet her...and her daughter. Yes, she has a daughter and she's married. Nate. His husband is owner of a bar.

I just slept during flight since I don't have enough sleep last night. But something is bothering me. I don't know what it is. But there's someone is bothering my mind.  The flight was tiring. Im expecting paparazzi when we landed at the airport.

When we landed, there are some people wants to take a picture but there are security and personnel around me. Even though I want to take a picture with them, i can't. Before we get inside the van i heard some shutters from the camera. Buti na lang may security.

"You can rest because tomorrow is the photoshoot." Kelly told me. Stacy was busy on her phone because were going to our hotel.

I just nodded and look outside. Its been a years since I left this country. Since I left ady here. I totally forgot what he looks like. So I opened my phone and stalk his ig. He has a new post. It was the stars in the sky.

'Look at the stars, look how they shine for you...'

That was the caption.

Memories bring back. That was the song I sang to him when he was on manila. That was the good old days. When everything is simple. When everything is perfect. When everything is a dream.

I stalked him and I accidentally hit the like button. Fuck. The picture was a year ago. What im gonna do. I unliked it but huli na ang lahat ng makita kong online siya. Fuck. I turn off my phone but someone send a DM from instagram.

'Hii'

It was from ady. After three years. I received a message from him. But I don't know how i'm going to reply to it. I stared at it for a minute before decided type.

'How are you doin'?'

I bit my lower lip to hide the kilig and fear. Yeah, im scared dahil hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko kapag nakita siya. Hindi ko alam kung ano sasabihin ko kapag nagkasalubong kami sa daan. I don't know how i'm going to face him after leaving him bleeding. Leaving him in pain.

"We're here!" Sigaw ni stacy nang huminto na ang sasakyan sa tapat ng isang five star hotel. I wear my shades and pick up my shoulder bag before I step outside the van its 3 o'clock in the afternoon. And there are cameras outside. May mga security sa main door ng hotel. Nasa magkabilang gilid si kelly and stacy. I heard alot of shutters of their camera.

"Ane Merced,is it true that are you dating with Christian Williams?"

"Are you engaged?!"

Iyan ang mga naririnig ko habang papasok sa main door. Di ko maiwasang mapangiti. Nakakatawa talaga. Yung mapagkamalan kayong in a relationship. Well, di rin maiiwasan dahil magkasama kami lately. Were together when Cara throw a party in her house. We used his car because I don't want to drive. And there's alot of paparazzi caught us.

Kelly and I wait a second to the lobby while stacy fixing something on the receptionist. When it all settled, sumakay na kaming elevator. Sobrang laki ng room ng pumasok na kami sa loob.
