But his expression suddenly changed and angrily stiffen his muscle as he ran his hands once more to his already-messed hair
“Unfortunately, you don’t feel the same way” he said and turned his back on me as he started striding away to where I stood
hindi siya nag dalawang isip na pumasok sa kotse niya kahit may bubog pa ito at hindi rin siya nagdalawang isip na i-start kagad ang engine nito without even glancing at my direction
I've tapped my hands desperately on his car’s door signaling him to stop but he never tried to and worst? he even ignored it as if no one's telling him to stop. it was like i was invisible in his eyes
“Iñigo!! Please!!” I pleaded at tinapik tapik pa rin ang kotse niya while slowly, I could feel na umaandar na talaga ng tuluyan ang kotse
pero, despite that .. I tried my best to catch up and chase his car before it was speeding faster away from me
“Sandali lang, Iñigo! Let me explain! That kiss nor hug didn’t mean anything” I said while my tears were starting to cascade down my cheeks
‘Tila wala siyang narinig because mas binilisan niya ang takbo ng kotse niya, but I didn’t give up.. hinabol ko pa din siya
“Iñigo!!” I called out while i could hear my voiced echoed in the whole area
But mas lalo niyang binilisan ang takbo ng kotse niya for me not catch up any longer. I stood there as his car’s silhouette completely vanished into my eyes
I was completely dumbfounded when my knees suddenly gave up and I sat on the cold cemented-ground of the restaurant’s parking lot
tinakpan ko ang mukha ko with my bare trembling hands habang tuluyang dumaloy ang mga luha sa mga mata ko
is this over? Is the only thing I thought that time as rain started pouring out of the sky
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was exactly a month had passed since that incident. I tried every means to contact him. God knows I tried.
I went to his pad, went to every race track there is in metro manila to find him, went to his parent’s house
where his mom greeted me with glee saying Iñigo left for Buenos Aires exactly two days after that incident which made me conclude he doesn’t really want to hear any of my explanation
but despite that, I still tried my best to call him through his phone only to be greeted by the operator saying
“subscriber can not be reach please try your call later”
It was killing me inside but I didn’t stop there. I even asked Gerard for help but unfortunately, hindi niya rin macontact ang sarili niyang pinsan
I kept on going back to his place hoping I could meet him there and explain to him everything but was always greeted by the security guard saying he isn’t home yet
I sighed thinking about how it ended this way
my hopes were starting to drift apart when suddenly ….
“Nina, Mrs. Letty Magsanoc’s asking for your presence immediately to her office” Jesse said which buffed me off from my daily day dreaming
“Huh? Why?” I asked while I frown in confusion
“Don’t ask me. I don’t know what’s running through Mrs. Magsanoc’s head you know.” She said as she rolled her eyes
“Right. Why would she ask for my presence? Am I going to be fired? I submitted the article about Azkals defeating Kuwait a day before the deadline.. was it wrong?”
“Talagang mafa-fire ka if you wont report immediately. Now go!” she said as she pulled me out of my chair
as I was walking along the way, I walked passed Luigi who was smiling at me. Flashing me his ever famous colgate-commercial smile but to my surprise, I smiled back at him and I saw him winking at me
maybe, I should have just give him a chance I thought to my self as I pushed the elevator door
“Ding!”
