Dream Series 1: Irrevocably in Love With You

ILWY 4

Cassidy's POV

"Penny for your thoughts?" I snapped in reality when Sab joined me in the terrace while facing the city lights.

Minutes of silence passed.

"Sab nagalit ka ba sakin? Noong bigla nalang ako di nagpakita?" I asked her.

"At first, Yes but when after two years and still I had no news from you, I know that you have reason for doing it. You left me you know? You're my best friend. I thought we're going to college life together figuring out things and grew up together but you bailed me." She stop for a while to have a sip from her drink.

"Last last year, I heard the news from Cha. I understand what you're coming from. Is just that, I don't know why you didn't trust me enough" Sabi niya sakin habang nakatingin sa tanawin.

I sighed and drink. Inaalala ko ang nakaraan.

"I'm sorry Sab, Gustong gusto kong sabihin sayo alam mo yon? Kasi kilala kita, hindi mo ko ija-judge. Pero I don't want to add up in your problems. Alam kong masayahin kang tignan. Carefree. But behind that smile is a Sab that battling her own problems everyday." I looked at her and gave her a sad smile.

"Noong panahong yon I got no choice but to stand on my own. Kilala kita baka ikaw pa magpa-aral sakin." I chuckled.

"I want to talk to you after a year, but I felt so shameful. Gustong gusto kitang kausapin you know? Gusto kong malaman kamusta ka na? Maganda ba yung debut mo kasi I know you've been wanting that since when we're kids. " I stopped for a while, my voice started to shake and tears are building up from my eyes.

"Nagka boyfriend ka na ba? How's your acads? Are struggling? How about your family? Ang dami kong tanong pero di ko alam kung paano masasagot. In just a blink, my life turns 360. I don't know how to get back" I explained.

I want closure it's been years, a lot of things changed. Sapat na yung higit na apat na taong pagtatago. Suddenly, I heard her sobs. Kumawala na din ang mga luhang kanina pa nagbabadya sa aking mga mata. Sobrang sayang ng mga nasayang na panahon.

"I hate you Cas! You make me cry again. You know me I don't hold grudges to people especially if they're important to me. You're are important to me. But please... please don't bailed again. Besides, you can always have me." Pinunasan niya ang luhang pumatak galing sa mga mata niya at tumingin sa akin.

"When I became your friend, I became also responsible to your problems. It is not always the good things that we can share. Four years of no connection is nothing compare to all the years we've been together. Of course! Kung chinat mo ko non. I will reply to you in instant! I didn't even blocked you! I watched your stories! Hays! Boba! Stupid! Lika na hug na!" she hugged me so tight.

"I'm sorry and I'm miss you" I cried on her shoulders.

Kinda dramatic but I miss being my old self. We stayed for minutes until Maxine interrupted us.

"Maala-ala mo kaya ang sumpa mo sakin" she dramatically sing with her left fist as her microphone.

"Hoy! Bat may group hug tapos di ako kasali, Ano to ha? Bina-backstab niyo ko? Saksakin ko kayo diyan" She teased us and she joined the hug.

Damn, I missed my girls.

"Wag kang inarte diyan! Tsk. So let's promise that we stay together. You can break with your jowas but not with us! Okay? Or else I will sampal your face and pulled your hair back to us!"

"Sab maniniwala na sana ko kung hindi ka conyo. Yaman niyong mga taga-ateneo pero di niyo ma-straight language niyo hays!" Maxine complained.

We end up laughing and a little catch up before we went back to the party.
