A Complicated Love

Chapter Forty Four

Tiarra's pov

Hawak hawak ko ang bote ng beer na kaka-bukas ko palang. Akmang iinom na ako ng may umagaw nito sa kamay ko.

"What the hell Shishi?" Irita kong baling sa kaniya. Umiling iling siya sa akin at umupo sa may tabi ko. Nag sisunod naman sila Cyrille.

"Alam mo bang nakakasama sa atay ang pag iinom lagi ng alak Tiarra? Nakaka sunog siya ng ano..ng ano.. ano nga nasusunog nun?" Kakamot kamot sa ulong tanong ni Sheen kay Tiffany na katabi niya.

Sinamaan lang naman siya ng tingin nito.

"Tsk.. Joke lang Tiarra, ang ibig ko lang sabihin ay nakaka sama yung pag iinom pag hindi ako kasama. Akin na nga yan Shi!" Turan nito at inagaw kay Shishi yung beer at ininom.

"Yuck. Bakit hindi malamig?" Pag rereklamo pa nito. Napailing nalang ako at ibinaling ang tingin sa matitino kong kaibigan.

"Anong ginagawa niyo dito?" Buntong hininga kong tanong sa kanila.

"Sa tingin mo Tiarra, ano nga bang ginagawa namin dito?" Balik tanong naman ni Cyrille. Nag iwas nalang ako ng tingin sa kaniya.

They all know what happened between me and Maxine in her office that day.

"We all know that you're hurting but you don't need to torture yourself more." Turan ni Tiffany.

"I'm not torturing my self, I'm coping up." Sagot ko at akmang tatayo ng higitin ako ni Shishi paupo.

"Coping up? Baka what you mean is fucking your life up." Hindi ako sumagot.

"Halos hindi kana lumalabas ng kwarto mo, hindi kana pumapasok, hindi kana kumakain. All you do is cry and drink your pain away. Does that help at all Tiarra? Does it lessen your pain?"

"I get it that you're upset Tiffany but you don't need to worry, I'm fine."

"Upset? I'm not fucking upset Tiarra! I'm disappointed in you! Where is the girl that I met under that tree? The girl that is full of positivity? 'Cause, right now all I see is the girl who's willing to throw her life away for the mistake na siya naman mismo yung gumawa."

"Tiffany!!" Pigil sa kaniya ni Cyrille.

"Don't Cy! She needs to face the truth." Sagot ni Tiffany kay Cyrille.

"I know, but right now is not a perfect timing."

Tiffany scoffed. "Walang perfect timing Cy so I'm sorry if I can't just sit here and keep quiet while I watch my fucking best friend throw her life away."

She said and walked away pero bago pa siya maka labas ay lumingon siya sa akin.

"It's not too late to make it right Tiarra." Saad niya at pumikit ng madiin. Her eyes are saying something that I can't understand. "And please hurry up."

She said and left. Her actions are weird. Alam kong concern siya sa akin pero iba talaga eh, I feel like there's something going on with her.
