Rain's Resort Opening

Rain's POV

"So, you're telling me that after all these years. That girl Ella is still with Nath? That's tragic." Sabi ni Sofia. I've been waiting for Danny. Nakwento ko na ata ang buong talambuhay niya at love story niya sa mga babaeng nakasama ko lang sa table.

"What happened to them? Hindi ba talaga sila nagkatuluyan nung Chaster? Omg, Rain just tell us." Sabi naman nung Lavender.

"Saka girl? Saan mo ba nalaman yang story na yan? Was that a book published a year ago, months, weeks?" Sofia asked again. Kanina pa ako dumudungaw sa pinto. Bakit ba kasi napakatagal ng bruhidang yon?

"No." I simply answered.

"That man singing on the stage. I heard his name is Chaster." Lavender noticed.

"Of course, Because that's the Chaster I was talking about."

"What?!" Sabay nilang sabi at napatingin sa akin. "Woah, I better steal her before he came back to Ella again." Biro nung Lavender.

"It's a real story? Wow?!" Sabi naman nung Sofia.

"Speaking of the devil, Danny!" Agad kong winagayway ang kamay ko sa ere para kunin ang atensiyon niya. Napatingin din si Lavender at Sofia sa amin.

"I'm sorry. Hinatid ko pa kasi si Lizette kay Lucas. You know it's valentine's. Where's Chaster?" Tinuro ko si Chaster sa stage at mukhang gulat na gulat naman 'tong dalawang babae na pinagkwentuhan ko.

"You made new friends?" She asked and smiled.

"Yeah, Meet Lavender and Sofia. Guys, This is Ella I was talking about. Her name is Daniella Irish Flores."

"Really?" Gulat na tanong nung Sofia,

"Why? You know me?" Danny asked curiously.

"Antagal mo kasi kaya na kwento ko na sa kanila ang magulong love life mo."

"Woah? Until what part?!" Gulat niyang tanong.

"Please tell us! Anong nangyari sa inyo ni Chaster? Did you let him go? May asawa na ba siya? Are you still friends? Bakit mo siya hinahanap? Anong nangyari kay Lucas?" Sunod na sunod na tanong ni Sofia. Napa peace sign na lang ako kay Danny. Ang interesting kaya ng story niya.

Naupo si Danny sa table namin at all ears naman 'tong dalawang babae na 'to at hinihintay magsalita si Danny. "Okay, guys. Chaster is married!" She started to make Sofia and Lavender's mouths wide open.

"That's really distressing." Sabi ni Lavender. Napatingin kami ni Danny kay Sofia na biglang umiyak at nagpupunas ng luha.

"Hey, what's wrong? Look, Rain. You should have told them your love story."

"I feel bad for Chaster. I mean kasi diba? He ends up marrying a woman na hindi naman niya ganon kamahal gaya ng pagmamahal niya sayo. Bakit pa kasi si Lucas? Siya nga nauna pero parang tanga naman."

Napataas ang kilay ni Danny at nagkatinginan kami. "Look, Rain? Where's Chaster? Pwede ba siya na lang ang mag explain?" Bulong ni Danny.

"You can do it. Ikikwento mo lang naman." Sabi ko pabalik. Huminga siya ng malalim at napahawak sa noo niya.

"Okay, Here's the tea. I asked Chaster and I to be friends again,"

"What? You're unfair! " tutol naman ni Lavender.

"I am?" Danny smiled bitterly and made me stare at her.
