Confused [COMPLETED]

Chapter 14

ADIELLE

It's still 7 o'clock in the evening, but I'm already preparing myself for the party. Ria said by 8:30, susundo-in na nya ako.

Kakatapos ko lang maligo, tuyo na yung buhok ko at naka ayos nadin. Pero wala padin akong napipili na susuotin, should I wear short, or should I wear skirt or jeans?

In the end, I chose to wear a red satin v-neck bodycon mini dress that hugs my curves perfectly and shows a little bit of cleavage.

I was about to put make-up when my phone beeped.

I thought it was Anna or Ria, but when I checked. It was Cypher who texted.

Cypher: can we talk?

God, what should I reply?

Na g-guilty man ay di ko nalang pinansin yung message nya, at nag simula nalang akong mag-ayos. If I keep on talking to him, masasaktan lang sya. I'm soft when it comes to my friends, maybe he'll end up hoping.

He keeps on texting me, but I didn't reply to any of his messages. Pinag patuloy ko nalang yung pag-aayos at inignora yung pag tutunog ng phone ko.

After putting my make up, kinuha ko yung phone ko at pumasok sa walk-in-closet para mag mirror selfie.

I posted it in Instagram, after a couple of seconds. Meron ng nag comment and like sa picture ko.

KkyleBriñas: Flexin your curves ey? ❤
AshJ: Bruha! San lakad mo?
Riaaa: 8:30 pa gaga, excited ka?
AnnaMarie: Pabili po ng isda, 2 kilo.
CypherLuca: .

Yung ang ganda ng kuha ng picture mo, tapos c-commentan lang kagaguhan? San yung hustisya.

I was busy scrolling in my Instagram feed to kill some time, ng may biglang nag pop up na notification from insta.

CypherLuca sent you a message...

Shit! Just like what I did a while ago, di ko ni replyan yung DM nya. Ni log out ko nalang yung instagram ko, at naghintay nalang na mag 8:30.

I don't know what Cypher wants to talk about, but this has to end. If I will reply to any of his messages and will to talk to him. I'll end up hurting him.

And I don't want that, he's my friend. It also hurts me to see him hurting because of me.

Ilang minuto din akong naka tulala sa harap ng salamin, ng biglang nag ring yung phone ko.

I was hesitant to answer the call, thinking na baka si Cypher yung tumatawag kaya di ko nalang pinansin.

The call died down, but it was followed by a beep. Kinuna ko yung phone ko at tinignan at tinignan kong sino yung tumawag at nag text, naka hinga ako ng maluwag ng makitang si Ria yun.

RiaThehumanMicrophone1: Elle gurl, bumaba kana! Ano natutulog kana ba dyan?

I replied :Tagal mo! Pababa na.

Kinuha ko yung bag ko na nasa Couch bago lumabas ng kwarto, pagka baba ko. Nakita ko si papa sa may living room kasama si Akiro, na pansin yata ako ni papa dahil lumingon sya sa gawi ko.

"Adielle, where are you going?" Naka kunot noong sabi ni papa, sasagot na sana ako ng magsalita ulit sya.

"And what the hell are you wearing?" Mas kumunot yung noo nya sa aking suot. Napa ngiwi naman ako at napa kamot sa sintido bago sumagot.

"Ehh papa, lalabas lang sana kami nina Anna. Promise po! Mag-iingat po ako." Sabi ko habang naka taas yung kanay kamay.

"Hmm okay, call me if something is wrong or if you need anything." He sais then he goes back to playing chess with Akiro.
