Chapter 23: Give Up

Chapter 23: Give Up

"Damn this heart!" Nagtagal ang titig ko kay Kuya Brent dahil sa sinabi niyang iyon. Nakatitig lang siya nang mariin kina Vince and Ate Marra.

"By any chance... are you in love with someone po ba?" He slowly looked at me with a small smile.

"Yeah, fucking unrequited love," he said. I bit my lower lip after hearing those words from Kuya Brent. I just can't believe that the girl he loves was unable to love him back, like, it was really unbelievable! Looking at him, he's one of a kind; it was impossible for a woman to turn him down. Siguro kung ako 'yong babaeng magugustuhan niya, I would never put the opportunity in vain kasi alam ko naman ang ugali niya, he's an ideal boyfriend if only his temper was a bit... You know. "A piece of advice, habang maaga pa, learn to let go of your feelings. It is hard, but if you learnt about it earlier, you can surely do that." Ngumiti siya at lumabas ng villa, walang nakapansin sa kaniya.

"Omo! Ang gwapo talaga niya!" I almost jumped when someone spoke beside me. It was Demi; she was staring dreamingly at the door where Kuya Brent made his exit. "Brey! Single ba si Kuya Brent? Ireto mo naman ako sa kaniya oh!" She giggled, I shook my head with a straight lips.

"Yes, he's single, but he has a loooots of girls behind him," I said.

"Natural! Sa gwapo niyang iyan! Tapos para pa siyang fictional character featuring Kpop star dahil sa pa-mysterious effect niya, maganda rin ang katawan niya tapos mestizo!" he verbalized.

"Ang hilig mo talaga sa mas matanda sa'yo, 'no?" I sarcastically said, she just smirked.

"Perks of being a kpop fan and reader." She winked at me. "Tara! Batiin natin si Matthew!" She pulled me but I put all my weight in my body. She creased her forehead and looked suspiciously at me. I gulped the lump in my throat.

"I-I want to pee," I reasoned out. She just shrugged and nodded.

"Sayang nanggaling na roon sina Drey at Gabby, eh. Hindi ka pa sumabay," sabiy niya. "Bumalik ka kaagad ha?" I nodded and smiled a little. I went to Ate Shanty's direction, she's chatting with someone on her phone.

"Ate, do you know where the toilet is?" I asked. She looked up on me and smiled.

"Great! Naiihi rin ako eh! Let's go!" she said and walked beside me, she encircled her left arm around my right arm. She leaned closer while we're walking. "Sorry about kanina sa restaurant incident. Alam naman naming allergy ka sa seafood, kaya lang ay may kino-confirm kami." My eyebrows are almost knitted with that. Napaawang pa ang labi ko roon. Ibig-sabihin ay alam naman pala talaga nila and they didn't forget?

"What is it?" tanong ko. She just smirked.

"By the way, okay ka lang ba? May masakit ba sa 'yo?" she asked with concern.

"Wala naman, bakit mo naitanong?" I answered.

"Muntik mo nang mabitawan ang cake, eh. Namamanhid na naman ba ang kamay mo?" Kinuha niya ang mga kamay ko, she massaged it gently. I sighed before smiling, I thought walang nakapansin.

"Madulas kasi 'yong pinaka-base ng cake, nagkamali ako ng hawak," I lied. She just shrugged and avoided my gaze, she also let go of me.

"Or baka nagseselos?" I raised my right eyebrow. She smiled and let go of me. She opened the door in front of us. May iilang tao sa tapat ng lavatory at nag-aayos ng makeups nila. Pumasok kami sa kaniya-kaniyang napiling cubicle. We did our things there. I pressed the flush of the bowl when I felt a throbbing pain inside my head. Napakapit ako sa pinto ng cubicle at sa ulo ko. I felt my limbs become numb kaya napaupo ako sa toilet. I closed my eyes for ten seconds, hoping that this pain will go away.
