Chapter 5 - In Between

He chuckles "Why state the obvious?" he winked at me. "Ipagdadasal kong makita kita ulit, My.. destiny."

Bigla siyang yumuko sa harap ko, he kissed the back of my hand as he closed his eyes and then took a glanced at me. Tumayo siya, ngumiti at dire-diretsong tumalikod at naglakad papalayo sa harap ko. I was left dumpfounded.

What was that for?

I took a long pause trying to process what just happened, anong kajejehan yun? My destiny? he may be hot pero ang baduy nung my destiny ha. Paalis na sana ako I noticed his car keys on the table. Kinuha ko agad para ibalik sana sa kanya, I looked around kaso hindi ko na siya nakita.

Naglakad ako kung saan siya dumaan, masyadong crowded kaya medyo nahirapan akong hanapin siya. I looked from afar to sight him, good thing I saw him he was on his phone as he walked.

"Ellie!" I shouted to call his attention but he couldn't hear me, the noises coming from the crowd and vehicles are taking in place.

Naglakad ako ng mabilis para maabutan siya. "Ellie!" I shouted again, still he couldn't hear me.

"Ellie!" I was walking as I called his name. This time mas bumibilis yung paglalakad ko, but he suddenly stopped dahilan para makabangga ako sa likod niya.

"Sorry." I mumbled.

"You're forgiven." he turned in front of me then smiled.

Bigla akong napaatras sa sinabi niya. He reminds me so much of Ethan. Am I overreacting? I see fragments of him, I see Ethan on him. That picture of Ethan from my head was becoming one as his.

I started to missed Ethan even more. I looked down trying to avoid his gazed.

He was about to say something, then a loud voiced came out from the microphone appeared to our left side. Someone was announcing something.

A woman with a high ponytail, thick make up and wore a mini skirt who looks like a cosplayer suddenly talked on the mic. "Everyone! Today's our grand opening for our pub at this very moment. You are all invited as we give 50% discounts for all the menu and as we give fun and exciting games for y'all plus you could win prizes and gifts."

Ellie looked at me I quickly looked down, inabot ko agad yung susi sa kanya.

"Nakalimutan mo" I gave it to him, it gets really awkward ang tagal niya bago kinuha sa kamay ko.

"Salamat, uhm.. so pano alis na ko." he said in a low voice.

I suddenly remembered Ethan when he said that to me as well bago siya naaksidente. What if mangyari din sa kanya yun? I was panicking on my mind already.

"Uhh... teka lang."

Tumalikod na siya sakin para maglakad ulit, hindi niya narinig yung sinabi ko. I followed him and then grabbed his arm para makaharap ulit sakin.

"'Wag ka na muna umalis.." I said skeptically. My eyes was a bit teary already, what if something might happen again. My trauma kept on triggering me again.
