ToGetHer Forever

Cinco

It was a hellish week for them, especially for Maru. The first ever gig that happened at Le Mortejo was really unexpected. Maski si Dylan nagulat sa naging outcome ng gig nila.

Hindi nga matapos-tapos sa paghingi ng sorry sa kanila si Dylan. Even Maru during that time. Sobra-sobra ang paghingi nito ng tawad sa kanila kahit wala naman dapat ihingi ng tawad. For Kristene, that owner of Le Mortejo is hundred percent narrow-minded.

"Rae, I'll hang up now. My boss needs me." Dylan said making Kristene rolled her eyes in annoyance. Just by hearing the word boss makes her blood boil.

"Sorry again Rae—"

"Cut it Dylan! I told you it's fine already. Wala kang kasalanan okay? You're not Mortejo the fucking great. Sya ang dapat humingi ng sorry not you."

She heard Dylan sighed, "Okay. Let's talk some other time?"

"Sure. No problem."

"I'm sorry—"

"Dylan!" Ang tigas din ng bungo ng isang 'to ah?

Dylan chucked, "Rae, iba ang sasabihin ko."

"Allergic na kasi ako sa sorry mo eh."

"I was about to say sorry kasi hindi kita maihahatid pauwi today."

Out of the blue, she smiled. Actually, Dylan has been consistent na ihatid-sundo sya sa bahay. Hindi na nga nya nadadala ang sasakyan nya. We'll, after kasi ng second meeting nila, naging close na sila dahil palaging tumatawag o di kaya naman nagcha-chat ito sa kanya. At dahil nagrequest ito ng date sa kanya, pinagbigyan na nya ito ng isang beses. Friendly date won't harm right?

Palagi din naman nyang tinatanong ito kung may hidden agenda ba ito sa kanya pero same as usual, Dylan will just answer with a smile. Pero palagi din naman nitong sinasabi sa kanya na gusto sya nito. And of course, palagi itong friendzoned. But what she couldn't understand, he used to tell her 'ang bagal kasi nung isa.' Sino naman ang tinutukoy nito?

"Rae?"

"Ah yes! Okay lang Dylan. I brought my car with me today. May ko-kornerin kasi ako. Ang ilap nya kasi sa amin lately after what happened at Le Mor— uhm... I mean, at the resto bar." Hirap talaga syang sabihin ang pangalan ng restobar na yon. Nakakainis kasi, surname ng hambog na boss ni Dylan.

"We're going in Antipolo. Overnight kami don. Pinagplanuhan namin ni Owen and well, uhm... Vincien is coming with us." She added.

Mahina namang natawa si Dylan. "Buti pinayagan ng bitch nyang girlfriend?"

"I don't know. Pakielam ko naman sa kanila."

"You're not a good liar Rae."

She frowned, "What are you saying Dylan?"

Dylan didn't answer but she heard him chuckle.

"Dylan!"

"Wala Rae okay? Hinihintay ko lang na gumawa ng move 'yon."

Heto nanaman. Wala nanaman syang maintindihan.

"Just wait for it—"

"Dyl! Fuck you!" Rinig nyang may sumigaw sa kabilang linya kay Dylan at parang may nabasag na baso.

"Hey, Dylan? Are you okay?"

"Yep! I really need to fucking hang up. Nagiging demonyo na ang boss ko. Talk to you later. Take care!" Nagmamadali nitong sabi sa kanya.

"You too. Take care!"

"I will." Then Dylan immediately hang-up.

"Is that Kingsley?" Kapagkuwan ay tanong ni Owen nang matapos silang mag-usap ni Dylan. Nasa likod na pala nya ito.
