"Huy, River, pre!" bati ni Ridge. Nanlaki naman ang mata ko at liningon ang tinitignan ni Ridge.
"Ay, wala pala," habol niya nang lumingon na ako at nakitang wala naman si River doon!
He and Aria laughed. I glared at the both of them and raised both of my middle finger.
"Bakit ba kasi iniiwasan mo siya, girl?" Aria asked.
I rolled my eyes. "Eh, ikaw, Aria, bakit pinagtitiisan mo pa rin si Ridge?"
"Sungit talaga ever," bulong ni Aria na rinig na rinig ko pa rin.
It has been 13 hours since they tried reviving James and Rose. There was no luck so they had to place their bodies in a cadaver and store them in the specimen room. We informed the leaders about it and they instructed to keep quiet for now and we'll figure out how to tell their loved ones later.
Do I feel guilty? Of course, I do. Sino ba ang hindi? Pero kailangan ko kasi talaga siyang gawin.
"Alam mo kung bakit iniiwasan niya?" Ridge asked Aria.
"Why? Tell me," she demanded.
"Mayroon kasing umamin," Ridge answered before teasingly looking at me.
"Sabi ko na, eh! Bet mo nga si River!" Aria exclaimed.
"It's River who confessed, dumbass!" I clarified.
Ridge laughed and Aria's eyes widened.
I crossed my arms. "How did you know?" I asked Ridge.
"Hindi nagtatago sakin yan si River. Lalo na kapag usapang babae," he answered while wriggling his eyebrows.
"You're gonna teach him how to be a womanizer." I sighed.
"Womanizer daw ako, babe. Payag ka dun?" baling niya kay Aria.
Aria looked at Ridge then back to me. "Dara, let's go," aya niya sakin bago ako hinila palayo doon.
"Babe, nagbago na ako, di ba?" pahabol na tanong ni Ridge.
"Talk to the fucking wall!" sigaw ko bago namin tatawa-tawang linayasan siya.
"Now, tell me, mahal mo rin ba si River?" tanong ni Aria nang makarating kami sa dropship. May mga task kasi kami doon.
I was actually taken aback by her question. I had feelings for River, yes but the keyword here is 'had'. It's in past tense so maybe I don't have them anymore. Then again, him telling me he loves me had an effect on me. It's weird.
I looked at Aria. "No?"
"Patanong mong sinabi so it means that you have!" naeexcite niyang sigaw.
"Keep your voice down," I whispered.
"So, ano nga? Do you have feelings for him or not?" pangungulit niya.
I rolled my eyes before saying, "I don't. He's my best friend and that's how he'll stay."
