In Your Arms ( Med Series #1)

Chapter 14

Pagkatapos no'ng araw na 'yon ay naging palaisapan sa akin kung paano nagkakilala si Gwyn at Reeve. Something is bothering me, but I refuse to entertain them. I just remember what was Drew said to him the last time.

Were they ex-lovers? Kasi no'n kung may gustong sabihin sa akin Drew. . . hindi niya masabi-sabi dahil kay Reeve.

It seems like Reeve didn't want to open it up. It was like a sensitive topic to him. I tried opening it to him once pero agad niya ring niliko ang usapan.

I also remember on how he stares at Christoph the last time he saw me together at my apartment. . . and how he was mad when I talk to him.

I know that he already knows Christoph but I am still waiting for his clarification. He said to me that he will tell me soon so, I will wait.

Kaya ba siya galit dahil alam niyang ikakasal na ang kaniyang ex-girlfriend? Pero kung mag ex na silang dalawa dapat ay naka move on na siya at maging masaya na lang para kay Gwyn.

If you keep holding on to the past, you won't be able to see the beautiful things that await you in the future. The future is much beautiful than in the past. Your future holds something and the past holds nothing.

Ang maging miserable at makulong sa nakaraan ay walang ma-idudulot sayo. Ganito ang natutunan ko pagkatapos naming mag-usap ni Christoph no'n.

I keep holding onto bad things that happen in my past to the point I didn't see that there is a future await on me.

"May naging ka relasyon ba si Gwyn no'n bago siya umalis ng bansa?" I asked my friends to clarify if Gwyn was in a relationship before.

Kasi, sa pagkaka-alam ko walang ibang kaibigan si Gwyn dito sa Pilipinas kung hindi kami lang. At mas lalo na sa mga lalaki.

Si Christoph lang ang kilala kong malapit na kaibigan niya na lalaki. . . She told us before, that she was once a victim of bullying when she was in Grade school the reason why she is not sociable. Mas ilap din siya sa mga lalaki.

Kaya nakakapagtaka kung may naka relasyon siya bago pumunta sa New York.

"No, I just remember that she was head over heels to your Ex," Zenneth answered.

Naipilit siya ni Hannah na sumama sa amin dito ngayon. Apat na araw niya kaming hindi pinansin at sa apat na araw na 'yon kinukumbinsi na siya ni Hannah na sumama sa amin.

At first, she declined but Hannah keeps on convincing her non-stop to the point that she agreed and came with us. Hindi ata pwede na aalis kami ng hindi kompleto.

Kasalukuyang kaming nasa biyahe papunta sa lugar kung saan gaganapin ang kasal ni Gwyn at Christoph bukas. Sa Saranggani Highlands daw 'yon and I've never been there before.

Mga kaibigan ko pa lang ang naka punta doon kaya medyo na excite ako nang malaman kong doon gaganapin.

We used Renaissa's car and Althea is the one who's driving. Nasa passenger seat naman naka-upo si Zenneth at kaming tatlo nila Renaissa ang nandito sa likod.

"Why? Is there something bothering you?" si Renaissa.

"Yup," I honestly answered.

See, wala siyang ka relasyon before so. . paano sila nagkakilala ni Reeve?

"Ano 'yon?" Renaissa spoke.

"I think Reeve and Gwyn know each other. Nakita ko kasi no'ng isang-araw na nag text si Gwyn kay Reeve. . . cause I was the one who holds his phone," pag-aamin ko sa kaibigan.

"So?"

"So, that's it." Dahil wala na akong masabi. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ito ang iniisip ko.
