Lies

Aaron bark in laughter. Halos sumakit na ang tiyan nito sa kakatawa habang pinapanuod ang presscon ko kasama si Gregory. Clearing Vince's name. And creating another lies.

"Talaga lang ah? Nagkakamabutihan kayo ulit ni Greg?"he asked sarcastically habang nanunuod pa din ng presscon namin. In-air na iyon kaninang live,  kanina pa tapos ang presscon at ngayon ay pinapalabas ulit on-air."I really can't believe your fans believe all the lies. Ganoon sila kabaliw sainyo ni Greg?"sumulyap siya saakin at may nakapaskil na ngisi sa labi.

I shrugged my shoulders. Kinuha ko ang remote at pinatay ang tv.

"Hey! This is my condo!"angal niya at akmang hahablutin ang remote nang mabilis ko iyong itinago sa likuran ko.

"Whatever, Aaron. Just stop watching that."pinanliitan ko siya ng mata.

Mahina naman siyang humalakhak at hindi na sinundan pa ang pang-aasar saakin.

"What about Vince? Is it really true that he proposed to you the other day?"he asked.

"Uh it's not what the media thinks."I sighed.

Napanguso naman siya na tila nag-iisip.

"Well...he confessed."pagsisimula ko.

He nods at me eagerly as if saying to continue what I'm saying.

Napabuntong hininga ako bago muling nagsalita."He said he is going to court me. Hindi ko alam kung bakit kailangan niya pang lumuhod."

He chuckled shortly after.

"Baka ganon ang style ng panliligaw niya?"balik tanong niya.

"I don't know."I take a sip from my coffee.

"But I've been meaning to ask this, Race, e."sumeryoso ang mukha niya.

I gulped twice before I asked him."What is it?"kunot-noong tanong ko sakanya.

"So kamusta naman ang pakikipagbalikan kay Greg?"bumunghalit siya ng tawa na tila  sayang-saya na asarin ako.

"Really? Aaron?"I smiled sarcastically.

"Sorry, okay. But kidding asside. Edi mas madalas kayong makikita ng media niyan? So basically your boss wants you two to pretend? Like back again as a couple?"paniniguradong tanong niya pa saakin.

"Yeah. It is what it is."kibit-balikat na sagot ko.

"And you agree on that?"tinaasan niya ako ng kilay.

"Not really. But do I have a choice?"I asked him back.

He stays quiet for a while before he finally speak."Well mahirap kalaban ang fans at mga paparazzi. Maybe your boss is right, huhupa din iyan."he said.

Tumango ako."I hope so."iyon na lang ang nasabi ko.

Sa mga sumunod na araw ay magkakasama kami nila Speed. Greg is not here on the training track today. Pati kahapon ay wala din ito.

"You're competing again for the world tournament?"nilingon ko si Aries na umiinom.

Speed and Eron is at the racing track. For a friendly match

Habang kami ni Aries ay nanunuod lamang sa dalawa.

"Yeah. That's five months from now."sumulyap ako sakanya at tinanguan siya.

"Raze,"

"I wish you to will end up together. I know it's selfish to say things like that. But I like Gregory much better when he's with you."he said.
