[b]EVERYONE.[/b] [/quote] _____________________________________________________________[/align] [align=center][b]Chapter 18[/b][/align] “Is that his GF, baby?”, Tan-tan asked. “Yeah”, walang ganang sagot ko. “Gosh! She’s indeed a beauty!”, he exclaimed. I glared at him. “Opps! Of course, you, my baby, are also a beauty. No questions asked but medyo lamang lang siya ng 1 month na paligo?”, he said then winked. “Ahh, ganun?”, I said tapos pinagpapalo siya. [i]Okay. So, ganun na lang? Dumating siya then, everyones’ attentions had all drawn to her? Like she’s a top celebrity? Oh come on![/i] [i]Hindi ka naman bitter niyan teh?[/i], a part of me said. [i]Ako? Bitter? Haler! No way.. oh well, fine! Pero slight lang, amin ko.[/i] I sighed. Grabe naman kasi eh. Right after Xander introduce Zenille to everyone, na-stop muna saglit yung ginagawa and all got busy entertaining the woman. Most especially HIM. Parang hindi niya man lang maiwan saglit. It’s like just having a centimetre away from her could kill him. His eyes never left her too. The way he looked at her tells how deeply he’s in love. Kulang na lang din mapunit yung pisnge niya kakangiti. He seems so full of joy just having her with him. Biglang may kumirot sa isang bahagi ng dibdib ko. [i]Okay. So, what does that mean? That pain?, tanong ko sa sarili ko.[/i] “Are you okay, Cass?” Napalingon ako sa nagsalita. [i]Alex.[/i] “H-Huh? Y-yeah. Of course, bakit?”, uutal-utal kong tanong. He sat beside me and held my face. Namula naman ako. “B-Bakit, Best? M-May dumi ba mukha ko?” [i]Gosh! Ano ba ‘to?[/i] He sighed tapos binitawan na ako. “Nothing. You seemed like you wanted to cry a while ago. Do you?” Nagulat ako. [i]Mukha bang iiyak ako?[/i] “Best..” “A-Ahhmm. Of course not. Bakit naman ako iiyak? What would be the reason?”, sabi ko sabay ayos sa mukha ko. He looked at me. “Hey. I know what you mean. I don’t care, really. That’s his personal life and I don’t have the reason to feel something like jealousy or even pain”, sabi ko. He sighed. “Okay. Sabi mo eh” “Aba, puro ka buntong-hininga ah? Ikaw, ayos ka lang ba?”, pag-iiba ko ng topic. “A bit tired” “Mukhang super haggard ka nga eh. Ano bang pinag-gagawa mo ah?” “Thinking?” “Of what?” Natigilan siya. Hindi siya sumagot, tumingin lang siya sa akin na parang may gustong sabihin but it feels like he’s scared. “Alex?”, tanong ko ule. Pumikit siya at umiling. “Nothing”, then smiled. “Sure?” “Yeah! Hey! Is it okay kung we’ll have dinner later? Since, aalis kayo tomorrow morning?” “Of course, why not? Ayos naman na yung mga gamit ko eh. I have all the time”, I said then winked. “Great! So, you’ll be riding at my car later, ‘kay?” “Ikaw bahala”, I said then smiled. He kissed me in the cheeks and went on his way. Bumalik yung tingin ko sa direction nila Xander. Nothing’s changed. They’re still busy keeping Zenille happy and everything. Xander? Ayun, showing everybody how lucky and happy he is with his GF. I sighed. [b]Alex’s POV[/b] “That’s it! So, maybe around 10pm andyan na kami and I want everything to be perfect, okay?.. Yeah, thanks”, I said then hung up. “Ngayon na ba pare?”, Tristan asked. “Yup!” “Well, good luck!” “Thanks pare” Okay, so everything fine now. Yung mangyayare na lang mamaya. Oh God! Help me..
