Never Have Love At All (Las Mujeres Fuertes Series #1)

CHAPTER 23

Sometimes you will feel that you are running out of time and you will ask yourself if you did things rightly or you just live with itㅡ If we just waste our time and tortured ourselves. Na hindi gawin yung mga bagay na gusto natin o hayaan nalang yung mga tao sa paligid natin na diktahan nalang tayo.

"Holy fuck?!" Agad na napatakip ng bibig si Api. "There's a big crash from Tuscan GP and someone died! Ang vague ng reports!" She said, panicking.

Parang nawala lahat nang dugo sa katawan ko ng marinig iyon. Nasa cafeteria kami ng company para sa break. Naalala ko si Aza at ang mga sinasabi niya sa akin. Was that a sign? Bigla akong nanlamig. Gusto ko mang i-check yung news pero hindi ko magawa. Nanginginig yung mga kamay ko.

"Hey, Tallinn... Calm down..." Kylie started to rubbed my back.

"I'm checking it too! Don't panic! It will just bring no good to you!" Ani Che na halatang kinakabahan din.

I bit my lower lip and tried hard to calm my entire system. Ang tagal, natatakot ako.

"Okay, teka... Ano... Someone died... From AlphaNorris Team," Giit ni Api habang nagbabasa. "Mercedes si Aza and he placed first for podium! He's safe but someone died."

I nodded, still shaking. Kylie handed me a bottled water and helped me drink. Hindi ko alam yung mararamdaman ko. Nanalo si Aza pero may namatay. Ang bilis ng bawiin ng buhay. Bigla akong natakot para sa kanya.

Unfortunately, Tuscan GP became dramatically sad because of the incident. The late racer driver from AlphaNorris Team was very close to Aza. He's too young. It was a very short journey for him. Hanggang sa makauwi si Aza ay malungkot siya. Even though he placed first on podium, the celebration wasn't that big... Knowing how Aza's feeling that time. He mourned for his friend and his fans respected that. No fans and interviews waited for him for the whole week. Lahat ay nakiramay sa pagkawala ng kaibigan at kapwa racer driver ni Aza.

I watched how Vern smiled when he got his own phone. He graduated as Class Valedictorian. Tuwang-tuwa siya habang tinitingan ang regalo ni Tita Beth at Daddy. Halos hindi siya mapakali kaka-check doon.

"You happy?" I asked and he immediately nodded.

"Finally, my own phone, Ate!"

I smiled and helped him create some SNS account. After we finished eating, we drove back to home. Ryle didn't come with but he was there during Vern's graduation program. Vern felt sad because his Kuya can't come but Tita Beth explained quickly. Busy si Ryle dahil biglang ingay ng pangalan niya because of his projects. He's one of the successful architects in the Philippines right now plus his connection with the model, Nyssa Ladiñer. I saw them for so many times together... Date palagi ni Nyssa sa mga events. Issue parin if they are dating again but none of them clear it out.

"Come here," Aza urged me to come closer to him.

Napanguso ako at sinunod siya. Nilingon ko ang mukha niyang seryosong nakamasid sa akin. Agad siyang ngumiti at binasa ang kaniyang labi.

"Let's take a dip..." He said sexily.

Nasa Siargao kami para sa three days vacation. Nagulat pa nga ako ng sunduin niya ako bigla sa bahay tapos sinabing flight na namin. Hindi ako makapaniwala na pumayag si Daddy. Kaming dalawa lang ni Aza!

"Stop being maharot ha!" I reminded him.

Ngumisi lang ang gago! Nakakainis kasi ang tangkad niya tapos ang liit ko pero hinatak niya ako papunta sa malalim! Napakabully!

"Huy, Aza!"

"Yeah, babe?" He asked then.

"Sabi ko huwag kang maharot ha! Sasakalin talaga kita!"
