Loving the Broken Hearted Man(COMPLETED)

Chapter 22

I am staring to my ate who's currently eating ice cream. I have mine in flavor cookies and cream, it is my comfort food whenever I feel sad. "Walang hiya naman pala ang lalaking iyon, ano tawag niya sayo kong ganun?" My sister asked me.

Weeks had passed after that press conference but Jayce declined to talk to me. Even his friends are making moves for us to talk, but none of their efforts got paid back. He is persistent in declining my request. Isa lang naman ang gusto ko, mag usap kami. I still remember how I cried after the press conference. I still remember how his friends comfort me. I still remember how he leave while i'm in pain.

Flashback..

"No, I don't have a girlfriend or someone special." Aniya sa seryosong boses. Nag-singhapan ang aming mga kasama, bakas ang gulat at disappointment sa mga reaction nila.

I stared at him in disbelief, I am trying too hard not to broke down in front of them. I sighed hard lalo na nung tinanong ang tungkol sa video naming dalawa sa kasal ni Ate Xia.

"How about the video, wherein you both are in formal attire? It's the wedding of Miss Maureen's sister." Another reporter asked.

Jayce laughed like he's not hurting me. Jayce laughed like he did not said something terrible. "Oh that? It's just a game, I did just participated cause I can't declined you know. After all, I know their family from the very start. I'm just being kind at all."

Damn, he's words are making me mad at the same time hurt. Bakit ganito? Pagkatapos ng nangyari sa amin ganito ang gagawin niya? Pagkatapos ng lahat? Ano ako sakanya? Hindi ba kami? Bakit ganyan?

"But we heard that you're courting her. It came from a reliable source, may evidence pa na sinabi mo na she is your future girl." Another reporter asked. This is too much, ayaw ko ng ganito.

"Oh, that? I only said that because of the girl who keep on irritating me. I didn't mean it, tho." He answered without blinking. How did he managed to say that? Paano niya nakakayang sabihin yan na para bang wala ako rito sa tabi niya?

"So that means, you're not Miss Maureen boyfriend. We thought it was you cause she said earlier she has a boyfriend. Anyway, thank you, Engineer." The first reporter said.

It ended immediately because of the sudden situation. I am stuck to my chair, I can't even processed what he just said. I can't even take my eyes off of him. Why does loving you made me so damn fragile like this? Inalalayan nila akong tumayo at sinamahan sa kwartong inuukupa namin kanina. I seated there, still processing what just happened a while ago.

"What the hell is your problem?" Lexine exclaimed.

"What?" Preskong tanong ni Jayce.

"What did you say? You don't have a girlfriend? What do you think of Maureen?" Disappointed na tanong ni Lexine. I just looked at him, waiting for his answer.
