Chapter Forty-four

#I44

"Thank you Ryder." I said as Ryder walk me in my room.

"I'm sorry about earlier Eliss." He said.

"No it's okay. It doesn't matter." Really

"Okay. If you need anything else, just call me."

Ngumiti ako sa kaniya. "Good night."

Pagpasok ko ay agad akong napasandal sa pinto.

I can't believe the conversation I had with Vlad earlier.

"Are you crazy? We're already done Vlad."

Hindi ako makapaniwala sa sinabi niya. We just met...again at eto na agad ang sasabihin niya? Is he being serious?

"Eliss, I still fucking love you. I don't care if we just met again. I don't care if you change. I still love you Angel. Please come back to me." Puno ng pagmamakaawa ang mukha niya.

I parted my lips. I don't know what to say. After all these years, he still love me? Mahirap naman atang paniwalaan iyon.

"Stop Vlad. Just stop." I gestured my hand to stop him when he is about to step more closer to me.

"Don't you love me anymore?"

Natahimik ako bigla sa tanong niya. I sighed and answered him confidently.

"I don't and I still don't forget what you have done to me."

"Angel." Halos sumuko na ang boses niya.

"Eliss andyan ka lang pala, tara?" Biglang sulpot ni Ryder sa harapan ko.

"Yes, let's go Ryder." I said but before I could completely turn my back on him I saw a single tear coming from his eye.

Shit. Why the hell is he confusing me? Why is he doing this to me?

Hindi ko alam kung paano ko siya iiwasan sa nangyari ngayon. Hell, we'll be seeing each other for the next two days.

The next morning, nagising ako dahil sa tunog na nanggagaling sa aking telepono. I answered it with my eyes closed.

"Where are you? Everyone is on their way to the Villa now."

Napabalikwas ako sa kama. Shit why did I forget? Nasa event nga pala ako ngayon.

"I'm still preparing. Mauna ka na Ryder, susunod na lang ako."

"Let me wait for you."

"No!" Agad kong tanggi dahil alam kong matatagalan ako. "Mauna ka na."

"Okay, I'll see you there."

Dali-dali akong naligo at nagbihis. I just covered my eyebags with some make up. Sobrang napuyat ako. Paano ba naman e halos mag-aalas dos na yata nung makatulog ako. I can't stop thinking of that man! Gosh, he drives me crazy.

Pagkababa ko ay mabuti na lamang at nandoon pa ang van na service namin dahil kung wala hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. Hindi ko naman alam kung saan ang venue.

Nang makapasok ako. Napangiwi ako nang makitang isa na lang ang bakante at sa kasamaang palad katabi pa ni Amber.

What a great start of morning!

Hindi ako kumikibo habang umaandar ang sasakyan. I don't even want to have a conversation with her, duhh.

"Yes Jazz?"
