My Bad Half(COMPLETED)

43

"So tell us Carrick. How did you met Ivanie?" Miyu asked. Natigil ako sa pagsubo at napatingin sa katabi ko.

"I met her through Candice. Actually we were shooting for magazines cover and she visit Candice, I remember she brought pastry to us. I approach her and she's kinda snob. I can see her eyes that she doesn't like me at that time." Nakita ko na nakikinig sila sa sinasabi ni Bacon.

"I see and then? Are you two dating?" Tanong ulit ni Miyu. Akmang sasagot sana ako pero naunahan ako ni Bacon.

"I asked her for a date, she politely and honestly decline it, told me that she is not interested on that thing. But I'm interested on her, I noticed that she has this unique beauty. At first parang natural lang ang ganda niya pero kapag tinitigan mo siya lalo siyang gumaganda." Tumaas ang kilay ko. Never ko pang narinig ang mga compliment niya sa akin kaya first time ito. "I was challenge on that time and I noticed that even she is smiling, she is sad. Her eyes is lost in sparkle." Inapakan ko ang paa ni Bacon. Ano ang pinagsasabi nito? Pero hindi alintana ni Bacon ang ginawa ko dahil patuloy pa din sa pag ariba ang bibig nito.

"Then?" Miyu.

"I courted her for two years. I keep visiting her until finally she said yes. My plan is to bring her to fancy restaurant but she decline again. Instead we eat on the sidewalk in NY because that what she wanted. She's not picky and very simple. She is also bright and honest. At that moment I started to like her, she is different among the girls I met. Then I found out the reason why she is sad because Candice told me."

"You know what wag natin yang pag usapan.." I interupted.

"Go on." Si Kuya Gun.

"B-but..." Angal ko.

"We just want to hear it Ivanie." Si Miyu.

"So yun nga. I dont know what's behind the reason for that guy hurting Layla, because she is really good to be true. But I'm glad that he let go of Layla kasi kung hindi niya ginawa iyon ay hindi ako magkakaroon ng chance na makilala siya." This is so awkward lalo na at nandito lang din si Luvdix. I glance Luvdix and I saw his hand closed and a bit shaking.

"Do you think you are worth for Layla?" Gun asked.

"I dont know. Maybe yes or maybe no. There is a lot of men in this world better than me, but one thing I'm sure is that I see Layla's worth. And because I see it, I'll  treasure and treat it like a Queen. I think when you see the worth of people no matter how hard the situation is, you will not going to hurt the person when you see her worth.." Bahagya akong napaawang. Kung hindi ko lang kilala ang isang ito ay iisipin ko na totoo lahat ng kanyang pinagsasabi. Napakagaling umarte kaya madaming natatanggap na awards eh.  

Natahimik ang lahat at si Bacon naman ay komportableng kumakain. The nerve! Hindi ba nararamdaman ng taong ito ang atmoshphere sa paligid.

"And yes we are dating." Dagdagan pa nito.

"What if that person has a big reason behind it. Like he sacrifice his own happiness and then now that Ivanie is back. He wanted her again, What will you do now Carrick?" Miles asked seriously. Gusto ko ng lumubog ngayon sa kahihiyan.

"I trust Layla. After all it is her decision, but I'm confident that she will not entertain that guy again." Carrick stated.

"What made you think that?" Hindi ko napigilan na mag tanong.

Ngumiti ito humarap sa akin. "Because I know you are not that stupid to let him hurt you again. He hurt you before and it is not hard for him to hurt you again Layla. His chance is over. Hindi ka naman isang bagay na kung kelan niya lang gusto kang balikan ay babalikan ka niya. As simple as that." I was caught off guard on what Carrick's answer. Totoo naman kasi ang sinabi nito. Napainom ako ng tubig dahil pakiramdam ko ay sobrang dry na ng lalamunan ko.

"Unless Layla still love that guy doon ako matatalo." Naibuga ko ang tubig na ininom ko sa pahabol ni Bacon. Panay ang ubo ko dahil nabilaukan din ako.

"Are you okay?" Nag aalalang tanong ni Bacon sa akin.

"Yeah. Nasamid lang ako." At ako ng tissue para pahiran ang bibig ko.

"Total tapos na ang lahat na kumain ay kami na lang girls ang magliligpit kaya tsupe na kayo boyszz." Si Miyu. Nag offer pa ng tulong ang mga lalake but Miyu insist kaya no choice ang mga ito kung hindi pumunta sa sala.

"How are you Ivanie?" Biglang tanong ni Miyu habang nag liligpit kami.

"I'm fine. Nakapag adjust na din sa shocking na nangyari sa buhay ko." Napapailing na saad ko.

"Yeah kahit kami ay nagulat din eh. Akalain mo ikaw pala ang kapatid na hinahanap ni Gun."

"Kaya nga eh."

"How are after break up with him."Natigilan ako sa pagkuha ng mga plato at napatingin kay Miyu.

"Honestly speaking it was hell Miyu. I was like living in the same time dead. Alam mo naman kung gaano ko siya kamahal noon diba?" Tumango ito.

"H-hindi mo na ba talaga siya mahal Ivanie?" Mapait na ngumiti ako.

"Matagal na yun Miyu siguro nawala dahil dumating sa buhay ko si Carrick." Pagsisinungaling ko.

"What if ligawan ka ni Luvdix?" Natatawang binalikan ko ang ginagawa ko.

"Nah! That's impossible. Pero kung mangyari man iyon ay hindi ko siya papatulan. I have Carrick in my life now. " Pero napaka impossible naman talaga. Mas madami ng nag aaligid na babae rito noon, ngayon pa kaya.

"Bananalala." I rolled my eyes when I heard Bacon's voice.

"What?"

"I need to go. I have some important things to do." Pinunasan ko ang kamay ko.

"Hatid na kita sa baba. Miyu saglit lang ah." Tumango naman si Miyu.

"Wait uminom ka?" Ng makaamoy ako ng alak.

"A bit." Nahampas ko siya sa braso. "Aww!"

"Bacon alam mo naman na mag mamaneho ka diba tapos uminom-inom ka pa." Sita ko rito.

"Easy bananalala. Sanay ako tsaka...Aww! Nakakarami ka na ah." Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.

"Ayokong mawalan ng ambassador! Tara hahatid kita tapos mag tataxi na lang ako pauwi."

"No really I'm fine. Hatid mo na lang ako sa baba." Nagaalalangan tumango ako.

"Kuya hatid ko lang si Carrick sa baba." Paalam ko kay Gun. Nakita ko na nag iinuman sila.

"Okay sis. Balik ka kagad." Tumango ako. Habang nasa elevator kami ay biglang nilamon kami nf katahimikan kaya ako ang unang nagstart ng conversation.

"That's was good Carrick. Napaka effective mong actor. I almost believed on what you said." Ng silipin ko si Bacon ay wala itong reaction kaya nanahimik na lang ako.

"I'll just call you na lang bananalala."

"Okay. Bye thanks." Akmang tatalikod na ako ng tawagin ako ni Bacon. "Why?"

''Nothing." Nagtatakang napasunod ako ng tingin sa papalayong Audi.  Nasa isipan ko pa din ang weird na anyo ni Bacon ng magulat ako sa taong nakatayo banda sa elevator at mukhang sa malas ay ako yata ang hinihintay. Sinundan niya ba ako?

"My half lets talk."
