Prison of Lies (Partners in Crime Book 2)

Chapter 3

"BESIEEEEEE!"

The moment I opened the door, she immediately jumped to embrace me. Still my loka lokang bestfriend.

I asked her to come in my unit instead na sa labas na lang kami magkita. Madami pa kasi akong kailangang ayusin dito sa bahay since kaninang umaga lang kami dumating and besides baka may ibang makakita sa amin.

"I miss you so much Audrey. You're even prettier today. Ikaw ng in love!" Matagal tagal din kaming nag yakapan then she pulled away at tuluyan ng pumasok sa loob ng unit ko.

"Where's my inaanak? Gosh! Ngayon ko pa lang siya makikita in person." Pinag handa ko naman ito ng merienda sa table since it's already five in the afternoon. I prepared a Fusilli Marinara at first time din nya na makakatikim ng luto ko.

"He's sleeping in our bedroom. Pagod sa pakikipag laro kay Vixen kanina. Kaya wag ka masyado maingay."

She rolled her eyes at dumiretso sa dining area para kumuha ng pasta.

"Ikaw naman. I'm just so excited to see Sandler. Grabe! Three years din tayong hindi nag kita. This one looks good, I'm glad marunong ka na magluto."

The two of us giggled at syaka siya sumubo ng pasta na niluto ko. Medyo tumaba siya ng konti ngayon but she looks more sexier kesa noong college kami.

"Dad thought me how to cook. You like it? Pasensya na, Ikaw pa yung pinapunta ko dito. Hindi ko kasi maiwan si Sandler at alam mo naman na iilan lang kayo na nakakaalam tungkol saming mag ina."

She drew a deep sigh and smiled meaningfully . Uminom muna ito ng juice syaka nag salita.

"Mag dadramahan nanaman ba tayo? Stop it okay. Let's have some fun. Sobrang tagal natin hindi nag bonding. Well by the way, wala ka na nga palang kailangan problemahin para sa bridal shower ko.Yung iba pina-arranged ko na lang sa wedding planner ko."

She excitedly said. I feel bad about it. Being her maid of honor, I should be the one handling it. Kung maaga aga lang sana ako nakalipad dito sa Pilipinas.

I'm useless.

"Besie, I'm sorry. I don't deserve to be your maid of honor. Wala man lang ako nagawa at naitulong sa kasal mo. But I promise, babawi ako sayo one of these days."

She held my hand first and I can see how happy she is. "C'mon sis! It's okay. I know how hard your situation is. What matter most.. is you're here to support me on my wedding day. Akala ko nga hindi ka na talaga pupunta."

I am the happiest bestfriend ever. After all those trials, kita mo nga naman sila pa pala yung nag katuluyan in the end. We may not be in good conditions ni Jake, Atleast I'm glad dahil pumayag parin siya na ako ang maid of honor.

"Thank you Besie, Forever talaga kitang kakampi. Maiba ako, How was Jake? "

Jake doesn't know about Sandler. Tanging si Audrey lang ang nakakaalam nun. That's why naapektuhan din ang pagiging mag kaibigan namin dahil sa pang iiwan ko kay Caleb.

"Still the workaholic man that we used to know. The only difference is, mas successful na siya ngayon dahil sa dami ng mga negosyo niyang hinahawakan. He really did everything para magustuhan siya ng parents ko."

Audrey was so proud of him. Kitang kita ko kung gaano siya kasaya ngayon. They really deserved each other. Hindi rin naman madali ang pinag daanan nila.

"I'm so happy for the two of you. Sana lang talaga mapatawad na ko ng soon to be husband mo."

Malungkot kong tugon and I only looked down at my fingers.
