Don't Call Me Love

Chapter 39

A/N: Special POV of one of my favorite side characters. I hope you like it ;)

Max's Pov

I placed the bouquet of flowers beside the tombstone. I placed my hands on my pockets.
I looked up in the sky. A smile formed on my lips yet I felt a hot liquid streaming down my face.

"How are you, Maicka? Are you happy up there?" Binalik ko ang tingin sa puntod niya.

It's been a long time before I had the courage to go to her grave. The last time I visited her was three years ago. "I continued your dream for you." I chuckled. Dahan-dahan akong umupo sa damuhan.

"I'm now a fashion designer, I named my first collection after you since those design are yours after all, don't worry. I gave you credits."

Hindi ko namalayan na may tumutulo ng luha sa mata ko kaya agad ko eto pinunasan.

"God, I miss you so much." I whispered. I want to see her smiling face again, I want to feel her embrace again but I can't.

I can't. It was all my fault. If I hadn't been selfish...none of this would have happened. She would still be alive...

"Maicka, it's happening again. Natatakot ako. What if I cause another misery to others? I don't want that..." Naalala ko si Alannis. Dapat hanggang maaga pa ay patayin ko yung feelings ko sa kanya. Baka maulit na naman ang nangyari kay Maicka.

Tumayo na ako at nagpaalam na kay Maicka. Sumakay na ako sa kotse at nag-drive na paalis. Pagkadating ko sa bahay ay hinubad ko ang pantaas ko na damit bago dumeritso sa kwarto.

Kumuha agad ako ng isang bote ng wine at sinalin doon sa baso ko at uminom. Napakunoot ang noo ko ng mabasa ang text sa'kin ng pinsan ko.

I massaged the bridge of my nose. I placed the glass of wine on the table. Why am I friends with this idiots? They always expect me to clean after their mess. I glanced at my phone that was vibrating, I picked it up and answered the call.

"Kuya? Punta ka ba sa club mamaya?" I checked the clock.

"Probably, I need a drink."

"Huh? Ang dami mo ngang alak sa bahay eh."

"Miles, drinking at the club is more fun." Napangisi ako at ibinaba ang tawag. I was about to get ready when I heard the doorbell rang.

Nagtataka naman ako dahil wala naman akong inaasahang bisita. Basang-basa silang dalawa. Napatingin naman ako sa labas at nakita na malakas ang ulan. Napataas ang isa kong kilay ng matalim akong tinitigan nung lalaki.

"Maxibear."

I cringed when I heard my nickname when I was a kid. Maxibear amp*ta. Naalala niya pa yun?

"Davieboo." Ano? Akala niya siya lang ang nakakaalala ng nicknames namin? Hindi pwede ako lang ang mapahiya!

"What's going on you two know each other? Akala ko ba hindi mo siya kilala?" Napatingin naman kami kay Alannis na halatang naguguluhan sa'min dalawa. Binalik ko agad ang tingin ko kay Davian.

So? Siya pala ang boyfriend ni Alannis. Akala ko naman maganda ang taste ni Ali sa mga lalaki nagkamali ako. Mas gwapo naman ako kay Davian! Kulot lang siya e na mahaba ang buhok. Pangarap din talaga ni Davian maging Rapunzel e, noh. Mas mahaba pa ang buhok kesa kay Alannis.

"I'm hurt, Davieboo. Nakalimutan mo na ba ako? After I made you that polo?"

"Shut up, Maxibear."

My jaw dropped at pumasok na siya sa bahay ko. Napailing nalang ako at sinundan nalang sila sa loob. Ano ba ginagawa ng mag-jowa na eto dito? Pinagtritripan ata ako ng mundo eh. Seriously?
