-- ASHI --
"Anong katangahan nanaman 'to, Ashi?" Cleo followed me down the stairs.
"Nagsumbong na pala sa'yo si Gia." I glared at Gia down the stairs before I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water.
"Ano bang problema, Ashi? Hindi ko na maintindihan mga desisyon mo sa buhay eh." Cleo continued to scold at me.
"What's happening here?" Jenna interrupted and the other girls followed behind her.
"Ashi and Luke are dating," Gia answered Jenna's question.
"What?" Stella asked, surprised. "Bakit ang bilis? Ano 'yon? Rebound?"
"Oo nga? A few days ago sabi mo mahal mo pa rin si Magui kaya mo siya pinakawalan. Bakit may Luke na bigla sa eksena?" Savannah complained.
"Pwede ba!" I wasn't able to control myself. "He's my boyfriend. Can you girls please respect that?"
I stormed out of the house and drove to Luke's workplace. Wala ako sa mood makipagtalo sa mga girls dahil baka gumawa nanaman ako ng isang impulsive na desisyon.
"Babe, what brings you here?" Luke asked before kissing me on the cheek.
I entered his office and sat on the chair in front of his table.
"The girls aren't happy that we're dating." I told Luke.
"Try to understand them, Ashi. It isn't easy to process. Tama naman si Gia eh. We're moving too fast." Luke tried to understand the girls' side pero hindi ko maintindihan.
"Are you regretting our relationship?" I asked with brows furrowed.
"No, of course not!" Luke answered. "Ang akin lang, let's understand your friends. Naguguluhan lang yung mga 'yon but eventually, they'll come around." Luke assured me.
I spent the whole day hanging out in Luke's office. He wasn't able to keep me company all the time since he had to attend business meetings. I was just scrolling in my phone when I saw Magui's tweet.
mfeola: Last three days 📅
I felt a pain in my heart. I guess tuloy na tuloy na talaga. Magui is leaving in three days.
"Do you want to dine out?" Luke asked as he entered his office.
"No thanks. I'm not really in the mood to dine out." I told him.
"I'll order take out na lang and let's eat at your house. How's that sound?" Luke suggested.
"I'd love that!"
Luke and I drove separately since I brought my own car. Mayroon din siyang last minute meeting with some investors kaya i'll wait for him in the house na lang.
When I got home, I saw the girls eating dinner. I ignored them and went straight into my room. I took a shower first before I took my notebook to write a new song that we'll sing for our upcoming concert.
"Ashi, can we please all talk?" Stella gently knocked on my door before entering.
All the girls entered too so I hid my notebook first since this is a housemates meeting. I sat down on the bed as they circled around me like I am being detained.
"What do you girls want?" I asked, trying not to be annoyed. "Kung pagagalitan niyo lang ako, please leave na lang."
"Gusto ka lang namin intindihin, Ashi." Malia was the first one to talk.
