My Immortal Crush

31

Mahigit isang oras din kaming nagtagal dito dahil may pa party pa si mayora atsaka nagkaroon lang din ng kaunting kwentuhan. We talked about the new comers, their rivals, if who will they're gonna bring down, etc. Sinubukan kong kalimutan ang tungkol sa pagbabalik niya habang kasama ko pa sila.

I love TJ and that's all I know, for now.

Hindi ko pa nakita ulit si Deanna matapos ang naging speech niya sa stage. Eh ano nga palang pakialan ko dun? Hahaha she's my past, not my present nor future.

Some of them are drinking liquors but I didn't allowed TJ to drink since he's going to drive us home.

Kasalukuyan silang nagkakasiyahan nang tumabi sakin si Ate Ly at inalukan ako ng maiinom pero tumanggi ako.

"I have a low alcohol tolerance." I told her.

She laughed and put the glass on the table.

"Minsan lang naman ito Jema e." Nakanguso niyang sabi pero agad na nagbago ang ekspresyon ng kanyang mukha. "Hindi niyo expect yun noh."

"Expect the what?" Taka kong tanong. Uminom muna siya atsaka ako sinagot.

"That she's already here."

Well yeah, she knew about Deanna and I. She was shocked back then when she knew that we broke up at sinabi pa niya na sayang naman daw kami dahil maraming tao ang sumusuporta samin. She didn't had the pleasure to meet Deanna for a very long time.

Nailing na lang ako sa sinabi at tinignan sina Mafe na nasa gitna, nagkakatuwaan pa.

"She was gone and MIA for four years, why would I have to expect something about her?" Hindi makapaniwala kong tanong sa kanya at nagulat siya nang lagukin ko ang binibigay niyang inumin kanina. "I have my Trevor, Ate Ly. I love him and you know that."

"But not the way you loved Deanna, Jema." Natigilan ako sa sinabi niya kaya naisipan ko na lang na magpaalam para magcr dahil baka hindi ko kayanin ang tensyong namumuo sa pagitan naming dalawa.

Wala naman talaga akong balak magbanyo, para lang talaga makatakas ako kay Ate Ly. Lumabas na lang ako ng building at nagpunta sa open area para makalanghap ng hangin.

I stayed here for a while, not until I heard someone talking to someone din haha. It's a feminine voice. Naririnig ko yung boses na nanggagaling sa may bandang likuran ng kotse. Eh dahil may pagkachismosa din ako, hinanap ko kung nasaan yun.

"Aww you already miss me? But we were just together earlier." Natatawang sabi nun. "Just wait for me okay? I'll be home by tomorrow and I'll give you a tour here. I love you baby." Narinig kong bumuntong hininga ito.

Jowa niya siguro yun pero medyo maharot din sis.

Bahala na nga yun. Baka mahuli pa ako at masabihang chismosa which us true din haha.

Paalis na ako sa lugar na yun ng biglang...

"Who are you?"

Tumingin lang ako sa side pero hindi ko alam kung namumukhaan na ba niya ako.

"Jema?"

I slowly faced that person and I froze when I knew who is she.

"D-Deanna."
