Chapter 13

Nisha's POV

As soon as I woke up again, my eyes felt heavy and itchy. Even in sleep si Hans pa rin yung nasa isip ko.
In my dreams he came back and said sorry and nagkaayos kami and now that I woke up I was slapped by the bitter truth.
I'm not sure if he's coming back. I want to call him, tell him that I'm sorry but my pride wouldn't let me.
What if he wouldn't accept my apology? What if he rejects it?

I stood up from the bed for the second time today. The clock on the bedside table says that it was already 12:30 pm.
Great, I skipped breakfast. I want to skip lunch too but I don't think magugustuhan ng sikmura ko yun. Bumaba na ko so I could eat something kahit na medyo wala akong gana.
When I was at the kitchen there was already food on the dining table.
Omelet rice?

“Gising ka na pala. Pupuntahan na sana kita para gisingin.” Lucian said behind me. I turn to look at him and saw him wiping his hands on a towel.

Lucian..? Oh right, sya nga pala ang pinagmulan ng away namin. I completely forgot about him.
“I prepared our lunch, hope you don't mind me using your kitchen and ingredients.”

“It's fine. Thank you.” I said and umupo sa dining chair.

He sat next to me,
“So kain na tayo?”

“Sure.” I said at nagstart ng kumain.

“How is it?” he asked.

I stared at the food. It's nothing special.

“It's good.” I said with a blank expression on my face.

“That's great to hear, sabihin mo lang kung gusto mo pa, I'd gladly prepare anything that you want.” he said excitedly and I just hummed nonchalantly. Thankfully he stopped talking after that.

We continued to eat in silence, and when we finished, he stood up and cleaned the table then proceeded to put the dishes in the sink.
I was just sitting there, feeling awkward in my own home.

“So about Hans.” he said, back against me as he started to wash the dishes.

“W-What about him?” tanong ko.

I heard him sigh,
“You seem so close to him.”

“Yeah, we've been the best of friends ever since we were 20.” I said, smiling at the memories on how we first met.

“So eight years ago?” he asked and I just hummed in reply, hoping that he'd drop the subject and umuwi na sya. Speaking of. Kanina pa ba sya nandito? Wala bang ibang ginagawa to?

“Yes. Anyways, buti hindi ka yata busy ngayon?” tanong ko.

He finished washing the dishes and put them aside to dry, he then turn around to look at me and smiled.
“Well, I just can't let the person I love alone when she's crying right?” he said making me smile uncomfortably.

“Right.” I said just so I could say something but somehow it sounds sarcastic at tinaasan nya ako ng kilay.

I cough awkwardly at iniwas ko na lang ang tingin ko.

Suddenly a phone rang and I'm sure that wasn't my ringtone. Lucian grabbed his phone from his pocket and answered it.
“Hello?” he said and seems to listen on the voice on the other line.

“What? I'm busy!” he said then sighed.
“Fine.” he said irritably.

He then ended the call at tumingin sakin, gaze softening.
“I'm sorry, but kailangan daw ako.. I wasn't informed na ngayon pala yung next photoshoot ko.” he said and smiled,
“Don't worry though! Babalik ako tomorrow afternoon.”
