My Bestfriend's Boyfriend (TAGALOG STORY) (ON HOLD)

Chapter Two

I woke up with my tab ringing. I got my tab and saw my bestfriend calling.

“Best! What am I gonna do?” then I heard her cry a loud.

“What happened ba?”

“Si Bench kasi he did not send any message for me! Wala din siyang missed calls sa phone ko! What am I gonna do now?”

My Gosh! ‘Di ka pa nasanay sa kanya. I thought to my mind.

“Hey Zia! Are you listening? Wala as in wala! Huhuhuhu.”

“You know what Mira, It’s just 7 in the morning and I just got 4 hours of sleep and you know the reason right? Please, let me sleep okay?”

“But best! I think he’s cheating on me!”

“Miranda, he’s always cheating on you!”

“No! I love Bench and he loves me too! He will not do that to me.” pagalit na sagot nito.

“Mira, I don’t know what is your problem. Ikaw itong nag suggest na baka niloloko ka ni Bench and then you will get angry when I said he is.”

“But Zia, I never saw him naman with other girls e. He never flirts with anyone when I’m around.”

“’yun na nga. When you’re around. So paano naman ‘yung you’re not around?” Hayyy… I’m getting tired of this conversation. Gusto ko na ngang sabihin kay Mira na I’m the living proof na isang malaking flirt ang boyfriend niya. Diba pa pati nga ako pinupuntirya? I just don’t have the guts to tell her ‘cos I know she’ll be sad and mad at me. Sabihin pang kinukunsinti at gusto ko naming makipag flirt. Laging baluktot isip nito when it comes to Bench so why bother explaining.

“Mira, please. Let me sleep for about an hour or two okay? Then we’ll talk.”

“But best!”

“Later Mira, I’ll call you.” Then I hung up.

I put my tablet on my side table and went sleeping again.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nagising ako ‘twas 11 in the morning na. I got my phone and turned it on. Sunod-sunod ang mga messages na pumasok. 5 from Mira, 6 from my other friends and 15 from Bench?! What comes to the mind of this monkey at tinadtad ako ng messages?

Ganito lang mga messages niya:

Are you home?

Hey Zia? Are you home?

Zia! Why aren’t you answering my calls.

Damn, Zia are you safe?

Zia, please answer me.

Halos ganyan lahat, paulit-ulit.

I’m really wondering why Bench is acting this way. Lagi na lang niya ako kinukulit and I find it annoying. Minsan na ngang pumasok sa isip ko na baka may gusto siya sa akin but I just brushed it off my mind. He’s my bestfriend’s boyfriend and I’ll respect their relationship kahit I’m against them. Ughh! That stupid flirt! He’s calling again.

“Ano nanaman ba?”             

“Thank God you’re okay! I thought something bad happened. Hindi ka nagre-reply sa mga messages ko and you’re phone, it cannot be reached.”

“Okay na ako Bench. Don’t worry. I’ll hung-up na. Bye.”

“But—“ In-end ko na ang call and texted Mira.

To: Bestfriend Mira                

I’ll be there in an hour. Order some pizza. Hawaiian. See you.

I went to the bathroom and had a 30 minute bath. Well, matagal talaga ako maligo, mabilis pa nga ang 30 minutes e. I just wore a white v-neck shirt with my skater’s skirt and my flats. Hinayaan ko lang nakalugay ang aking wavy long blond hair. Without any kaartehan they say I am beautiful, well I know I’m gorgeous. My friends tell me that I can be a model. With my height and looks talbog daw maraming models even mga artista. Somehow I find them O.A. but sometimes I find them true. Hahaha.

Enough of me I guess. I opened my door and went straight to the lift. My place is on the 11th floor and when it stopped on the 5th I was shocked to see Ian, my jerk ex-boyfriend with his girlfriend I guess. Nabigla pa ang loko ng makita ako. Naglikot pa ang mata nito at inalis ang kamay na nakapulupot sa braso niya.

"What's the problem, baby?" Eww baby? I thought in my mind.

Sumakay sila sa loob and luckily tumabi sa akin si Ian. Note the sarcasam there huh. Tsk!

"Hi Zia, it's been a while huh." I just smiled a little. Hindi naman ako ganun kabastos para hindi siya pasinin. Tiningnan lang ako ng cuirous look 'nung girl na katabi niya. 

It was the longest ride of my life sa isang elevator and I hate it. Kasi while Ian and I were on that same lift, i realized that it still hurts. Seeing him with another girl makes me feel sick. I should be used to it. But still I can't,lalo pa at siya ang first love ko at ang first heartbreak ko din. It is just 6 months after our break-up and 'yun siguro ang rason kung bakit ako nasasaktan not the reason na mahal ko pa siya. I guess. Keep on fooling yourself Zia.

Tumunog na ang elavator sign na nasa may ground floor na kami. I sighed. I went out the lift first at walang balak na magpaalam sa kanya when suddenly I felt someone grab my arm. Ready na ang bibig ko para tarayan ang kung sino mang humablot sa akin na I expected to be Ian when suddenly Bench is front of me now. Siya pala ang humawak sa akin. I was shocked.

"Hey! What are you doing here?"

"We'll go together at Mira's place." Ang lapit nang pagkakasabi niya sa akin kaya lumayo ako ng kaunti. Gusto ko pa sanang tumutol when I saw Ian looking at us, with his angry look. What is his problem?

Wala tuloy akong magawa so I decided to come with Bench.

"Just leave your car, we'll use mine. Ihahatid na lang kita mamaya."

I said yes before walking outside the building and with my last look I saw Ian still looking at us with his angry face. I guess I know what he's thinking. Bagay nga sa'yo gago ka.
