Fight For Love 2: Fighting Till The End

Chapter 79: Mixed Emotions

Laika's Pov.

"You can't?!"

Mabilis akong napa hawak sa noo ko kasabay ng pag sigaw ko. Nas-stress na talaga ako, sobra!

"Look-- okay, why not. Try ko, maka catch-up? Will that make you feel better?"

Napa irap ako sa hangin. "You better do so!"

"Sorry, emergency talaga."

"Yeah, it's fine. Anyways, Brian. N-nasan ka ba? Why does it seem so loud out there?"

Currently. Im talking to Brian, through phone. Ngayon kasi mag sisimula yung project namin, so we'll have a meeting about it. But Brian, told me he couldn't come because of an emergency, ayaw naman niyang sabihin kung anong emergency 'yun, what made me mad is. Alam naman niyang si Zain ang makakasama namin sa project, tapos makakaya niya akong iwan ng ganon? Should i also cancel the meeting-- i wanted to, but i guess I'll look obviously nervous.

"A-ah." I can hear small whispers. "N-nasa ano. N-nasa-- ewan. Hehe."

Napa sandal ako sa upuan ko. "You're joking. Nandiyan ka tapos ewan? Nasa bar ka ba?"

"No!"

"Yeah, nevermind."

"L-laika, t-teka!" Aray, nabingi ako.

"Oh? Why? I need to go na--"

"I'll send you an adress. M-mamayang gabi, f-free kaba?"

Napa kunot ang noo ko. Ano nanaman bang pakulo ito? Gabi pa talaga ah, tsk. T-treat na niya ba ko for dinner? Nako, dapat lang!

"Why." I said while giving a slight laugh. "The meet-up starts at 6PM, 'di ako sure kung anong oras matatapos, bakit ba?"

I heard him let out a heavy breath.

"Secret?" He laughed. "It doesn't matter. I'll wait there."

"Ano ba kasi 'yan."

"You'll see. Send ko sa'yo adress mamaya.."

"O-okay?"

"Bye! Ingat ah."

"Ikaw--" he hang up the call, darn it. "--Din."

Dahan-dahan kong ibinaba ang telepono sa tenga ko at lumingon sa view sa labas. It's exactly 5PM, meet-up namin 6PM. And i don't know how will it be. Im actually nervous to be honest, of course I'll be. Six years passed, sa anim na taon na 'yun ngayon ko nalang uli siya nakita, i don't know how im feeling right now imagining things. I hope it'll get better, lalo na kami lang dalawa mag uusap.

After a minute. Brian send me the adress. Mabilis napa awang ang labi ko dahil hindi ako sure kung saan koba narinig yung lugar na 'yun, mall? Saang mall?

He also send a message saying.

From Nuts:

Ingat ka, I'll be waiting for u there. Also, don't be nervous, kaya mo 'yan :))

Napa ngiti ako.

To Nuts:

Yeah, u too. Ingat ka 'din :))

Umupo ako sa table ko para tapusin ang ibang mga gawain na naka tambak sa table ko. Im just waiting for the time, maybe mag s-six ako pupunta doon, hindi naman siguro siya maagang dumadating, ayaw ko namang mag mukhang tanga doon na naka tunga-nga habang nag hihintay, i hate it.
