Cursed Love

Chapter 22

I can't believe I gave in! I was still thinking about the things that happened earlier. I'm staring at the bouquet of red roses that Lucas gave me. It's pretty.

"So is he gonna court me or what? Is he? Wait, are we already a thing?" I asked myself. Hindi naman namin nilinaw kung kami or liligawan niya ako.

"Hey, Cindy. I did something..." tinawagan ko sina Cindy at umaga na sa kanila halatang kagigising pa lang niya.

"What is it? Is it a good thing or bad? It looks like it's good," sabi ni Nika.

I cringed. Di pa rin ako makapaniwala sa ginawa ko kanina.

"Well, I consider it as a good and bad I guess?" sagot ko. They screamed.

"Let me guess. You got back with your ex? Hmm?" Cindy guessed.

"Hmm... Bingo!" I answered.

I saw them jump in joy. "Oh my gosh! You're so malupok!" tili ni Nika.

"Wait what? Malupok?" I laughed.

"Nika its marupok. Not malupok," Cindy corrected her. Cindy even rolled her eyes at Nika.

"Oh! You're so marupok!" pag-uulit niya at sobrang lakas ng tawa dahil siguro sa hiya.

"Talk to you later girls," pagpapaalam ko sa kanila. Binabaan ko na sila dahil tatawawagan ko naman ngayon si Tyron.

"Hey there, Sandra. What's up?" he said when he picked up.

"Tyronnn!" sigaw ko.

"Ano 'yun? Parang excited na excited ka ah," sabi niya.

"Si Lucas... I gave him a second chance!"

"Oh, really?" he sounds disappointed.

"Why? You look disappointed for some weird reason," sabi ko sa kanya.

"No, uh. It's just I saw you how you were really heartbroken before... then later I'm gonna see you with him again. You know its just I don't really know how to explain it," he honestly said.

"I know... but please just be happy for me, okay? Hmm?"

"Yeah of course I'm happy for you. I'll always support you. I'm your bestfriend you know," sagot niya.

"Thank you! Love you bestfriend!"

"Love you too, Sandra," at saka niya ibinaba ang tawag.

Well, I didn't expect that reaction from Tyron.

I got ready for bed and checked my phone before going to sleep.

Lucas: goodnight, Sandra <3

Me: goodnight.

"Maam, you have a visitor po," kumatok sa pintuan ko ang aking sekretarya.

Maybe my visitor could be Lucas? I suddenly got excited because of that thought. Kaso hindi naman na niya kailangan mag-paalam pa sa aking sekretarya. Napag-usapan na namin 'yun.

Kaso na-disappoint ako dahil hindi si Lucas ang pumasok sa kwarto kundi si Tyron.

"Hey, Sandra! It feels good to be back!" sigaw niya at lumapit sa akin. Niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit.

"W-why are you here?" tanong ko. Kakabalik lamang nila ah.

"Nothing. I just wanted to be back you know," he shrugged and sat on a chair.

"Wait, I'll ask my secretary to get you some snacks," sabi ko at lumabas ng opisina.

"May kailangan po ba kayo maam?" salubong sa akin ng sekretarya ko.

"Can you get some snacks for my friend?" tanong ko.

"Sure po! Ano po ba gusto ng friend niyo? May gusto po ba siya, specifically?" tanong niya pabalik.

"Uh, wala naman siyang sinabi. Just get him anything," sagot ko.

Tumango siya at umalis na. Naglakad na ako papunta sa opisina ko.

When I entered, I saw Lucas holding Tyron in the collar. "Lucas! Ano ginagawa mo?" I raised my voice.

Binitawan siya ni Lucas at tumingin sa akin. "It was nothing. We will talk later, Tyron," sabi niya. Lumapit siya sa akin at hinalikan ako sa ulo.

"I'm sorry. I just wanted to visit you. It looks like you have a visitor. I'll visit you some other time," sabi niya at niyakap ako.

Tumango na lamang ako, nakatunganga pa rin dahil sa nangyari. "Tyron, okay ka lang ba?" tanong ko sa kanya at nilapitan siya para tignan kung may masakit.

"I'm fine," sagot niya. Saktong pumasok ang aking sekretaryang may dalang pagkain.

"Maam nakasalubong ko po si sir Lucas. Nagka-abutan po ba kayo?" tanong niya at nilapag yung pagkain sa lamesa.

"Uh, yes. Thank you for the snacks," at sabay labas niya.

"What were you two doing earlier? Magkakilala ba kayo?"

"Yes. Matagal na. Mahabang kwento. But, I'm here to visit you. Maybe stay here for at least a year or two?" sagot niya.

"A year or two? Wow that's long! Where are you gonna stay?"

"Well, that's actually my problem. Can I stay at your place?" tanong niya at nagkakamot pa ng batok.

"Sure! Madami namang rooms doon. So, dala mo na lahat ng gamit mo?"

"Oo. Actually may naka-antay sa aking sasakyan sa baba. But, I actually brought something for you from the US," may kinuha siya doon sa backpack niya at lumabas doon ang paborito kong chocolate.

"Aww.. Thank you!" alam niya kaseng mahirap makahanap ng ganitong chocolate dito sa Pinas.

"Everything for you, Sandra." sabi niya.

"Drama ah! Sige na umalis ka na!" tinataboy ko na siya kaso may nakalimutan akong itanong.

"Wait! Tyron! Bakit ka nga ba ulit bumalik? Do you have to do something here? May importante ka bang kailangan dito?" I curiously asked.

"Oh, because of you. See ya' later, Sandra! I'll cook something for you!" sigaw niya at kumaway sa akin habang palayo na siya.

Because of me? What? I don't get it.
