Claurent's POV
As I turned to a corridor, I heard a muffled voice.
That voice sounds familiar....
" M-mommy...b-bakit??" mangiyak-ngiyak na sabi ng naririnig kong boses.
" P-please don't do this to me...I-I can't handle this..p-please pag-usapan nyo po ito ng maayos...a-ayoko pong mangyari to..Mom?--mommy??? Hello---?" As soon as I heard that, I got concerned.
Nilapitan ko ito at nakita si Mia na umiiyak habang binaba ang phone niya. Lumupasay sya sa sahig at walang tigil sa pag-buhos ang mga luha niya.
I felt a slight pang in my heart.
" Mia? Are you okay?" Nilapitan ko sya at niyakap niya ako. I rubbed her back para patahanin sya. " What happened?"
" C-Claurent----Th-they're separating. I-I can't let this happen..p-please help me..." patuloy parin ang pag-iyak ni Mia at humihikbi na din sya.
" Dude! Sorry ah, di ako makasabay ngayon, may plans kami ni Rai--" si Ethan, na kararating lang, ay natigilan sa kanyang sinasabi nang makita niya ang sitwasyon ni Mia.
" O-oh, what happened?" tanong ni Ethan sabay pagdating ng iba.
"Dude, ba't mo inaway yan?" ani Clark.
" Damn, Claurent no need to be so harsh if you wanted to dump her!" biro naman ni Loui.
" Shut up, will you?! Nagawa pang mag-biro eh!" sinamaan ko sila ng tingin at narealize ko na kasama pala ni Ethan si Raine, pero hindi ko na pinansin, dala narin ng selos...siguro, ewan. " Mauna na nga kayo, ihahatid ko lang si Mia." I told them before leaving with Mia to my car.
Pinagbuksan ko sya ng pinto at pinapasok sya. Inabutan ko sya ng tubig at tinanggap niya ito. Medyo tumahan naman na sya.
" I thought busy ka?" she dumnfoundedly ask.
" U-uhm, doesn't matter." I answered shortly.
There was a brief silence before she talked again.
" All along, I knew na mangyayari to. I never believed na magla-last sila. They were forced to get married and they were forced to stay together because of me." a tear slipped from her eye and she was quick to wipe it off.
" Ano nang gagawin ko Claurent?" she looked at me with sad eyes.
" Sshh..it will be okay. You can do this. You're tough." I tried to comfort her and she shook her head.
" I'm not. Sila na nga lang nagmamahal sakin, maghihiwalay pa sila."
" That's not true."
" Who else loves me then? You?" I was taken aback by her question kaya natahimik ako.
" You'll get through this..I-I'm here for you." I did not fully meant what I said. Pero nakita ko yung mata niya and hindi ko kayang bawiin yung sinabi ko. Besides, nakaka-awa din naman sya. She deserves to be comforted.
Because aminin na natin....
bukod sa parents niya, wala nang iba pang nagmamahal sa kanya.

Raine's POV
Hindi ba niya ako nakita? Please tell me na hindi niya ako nakita nun. Kasi masakit para sakin kung nakita niya ako tapos binalewala lang niya.
" I'm so glad it worked! Seriously, sinabihan ko siya kahapon na lalabas tayo ngayon and he was obviously mad...well-- I hope he's mad. Anyways tha---oh? bakit?" Ethan stopped in his rambling nang mapansin na tulala ako.
" Nothing..I just don't feel well suddenly eh."
"Oh? Gusto mo hatid nalang kita sa inyo? We can go out some other time."
" Thanks Ethan" I did not feel like arguing with him right now kaya hinayaan ko nalang si Ethan sa gusto niya.
------------------------
I layed down on my bed. Ang daming gumugulo sa isip ko.
Ayoko sa nangyari kanina. Akala ko ba gusto ako ni Shane? Why did it seem like mas importante si Mia kesa sakin?
For all I know umaarte lang yung babaeng yun para pansinin ni Shane.
Ugh. I hate this.
I forcefully turned on my bed and closed my eyes shut.
--------------------
*morning sa school*
I texted Ethan earlier na gusto kong makipag-usap sa kanya. I really need to get this out of my chest dahil kung hindi, mababaliw na talaga ako.
Naglalakad na ako nang biglang nag ring yung phone ko. I picked it up and answered.
" Hello?"
"Raine! Whole day tayong Excuse sa class ngayon, the dean signed the form already, don't head to your classroom na, dumiretso ka na dito..kailangan ka namin for the Feature Section." paliwanag ng isa kong kasama sa Journalism.
" Uhh--okay but---"
" Good! And please hurry up, nandito yung schoolpaper adviser natin!" she cut me off and hung up the phone before I could say aything.
Napa buntong-hininga nalang ako at tinext si Ethan na mamayang lunch nalang kami mag-uusap.
--------------------------
" After all, you may not be able to direct the wind but you can always adjust the sails....Okay na ba yung conclusion ko?" tanong ko kay Tiffany pagkatapos kong basahin sa kanya yung sentence.
" Hmmm...it's really nice but I'm pretty sure that's a famous quote from someone..." napaisip na sabi ni Tiffany.
" Edi sabihin ko nalang na quote yun from someone diba?" bago paman maka sagot si Tiffany sa tanong ko ay nag ring na yung bell, indicating that it's already lunch time.
" Oh, Raine..hindi muna ako makakasabay ah. Sabi kasi ni Loui pupuntahan daw niya ako dito kasi siya nalang daw maghahatid ng lunch ko. Told me he cooked something for me." nakangiting sabi ni Tiffany and I gave her a knowing smile.
"What?" tanong niya.
" Wala, mauna na ako, I have something to do pa eh. Bye!" I waved at her before heading to Ethan and I's meeting place.
-------------------
Pagkarating ko sa tagpuan namin ni Ethan ay nakita ko syang malalim ang iniisip. Nang mapansin niya ang pagdating ko ay ngumiti ito agad.
" Hey, I have a new idea! What if I could pretend na i ask ka to go out on a date with me infront of them?" enthusiastic na tanong ni Ethan.
" No, I'm not here for another one of your ideas Ethan." sagot ko sa kanya. Medyo naguluhan naman sya.
"Oh, ano pala kailangan mo?"
" I don't want to do this anymore."
"W-what? But I thought gusto mo kong tulungan?"
" Oo, gusto kitang tulungan, I really do. But this whole jealous game is taking a toll on me. Nahihirapan na ako. Because as what I see, mas matindi yung selos na naramdaman ko nang makita ko si Shane na kino-comfort si Mia kesa sa selos na sinasabi mong nakikita mo sa mga mata ni Nate kapag nagsasama tayo!" hindi naka sagot si Ethan sa mga sinabi ko, and before he could start to say something, I spoke..
" Ethan, if you really love him, prove it...you can't keep on using me para malaman kung may feelings din ba sya sayo. You need to tell him. Tsaka, you're not the only one with a troubled heart. Naguguluhan na din yung puso ko. Okay? Let's stop this."
Hindi ko na hinintay yung sagot ni Ethan at naglakad na ako pabalik sa office namin.
