Lost in Love - COMPLETE

PART II: Thirteen

'Is this the end of us?'

Nakatulala ako at iniisip ang tanong na 'yan ni Cheater kagabi. Para sakin ay matagal na kaming tapos mula nung iniwan niya ako. Pero bakit ang dating sakin ng tanong na 'yon ay para sakaniya hindi pa kami tapos?

For God's sake. He's married! He has his own family now so why would he ask me if that's the end of us? Seriouly. Ang gulo niya.

"Desiree."

He wanted to see me because he misses me. He called me 'mahal'. He felt sorry and stupid for leaving me. And then he cried. He cried. Fvck. He cried! Like seriously, ginugulo niya ang isip ko!

"Desiree Jennielle!"

Gulat akong napatingin kay Yen na sinigawan ako habang kinakaway ang kamay niya sa mukha ko.

"What?"

She laughed. "What are you thinking? I called you many times and it was like you didn't hear me. You're not even blinking!"

It's Cheater's fault! Ginugulo niya talaga ng isip ko!

"Nothing." I answered. "What do you need?"

She pouted and held my hand. Dinala niya ako sa kusina. "I want you to be honest with me, okay? Tell me if it's marasap or not, okay?"

Natawa ako. "It's masarap. Not marasap."

She wants to learn kasi how to speak tagalog and Jaz was teaching her pero it's obvious na nahihirapan pa rin talaga siya.

Nagluto si Yen ng egg tart at Minchi na madalas naming kainin sa Macau. Niluto niya 'to dahil nga pinapunta nila ni Jaz ang mga kaibigan namin. Ang binili ko naman ay beers and chips. Siyempre, kapag nagsama-sama sila, hindi nawawala ang inuman.

Malapit na nga maging mini bar 'tong unit ko. Sounds nalang ang kulang.

Una kong tinikman ang egg tart at nakasunod siya ng tingin sakin. "It's masarap! They would love this!"

Lumapad ang ngiti niya at pumalakpak. "Yey!"

"What's going on in here?" Jaz asked behind us.

"Good morning, Hon!" Yen greeted him and kissed him on the lips.

"Morning." Jaz.

Sinimangutan ko sila. "Oo na. Kayo na masaya." sabi ko at inirapan silang dalawa bago tinikman ang Minchi.

"Grabe! Na-perfect mo na siya, Yen!" sabi ko sakaniya and she winked at me.

Ginulo ni Jaz ang buhok niya. "I can't believe I'm going to marry this amazing woman." he said.

Napangiti ako habang pinagmamasdan silang dalawa.

I'm so happy for Jaz. He really waited for this, for Yen. He doesn't want to commit or try love again because of what happened sa past niya but look at them now.. they are so in love..

I also want a man who is sure about me. I want a man with a pure heart and intentions. Hindi yung mahal ako ngayon, tapos bukas hindi na..

Narinig kong may nag-door bell at pinuntahan ko agad 'yon dahil paniguradong mga kaibigan na namin 'yun at hindi naman ako nagkamali.

"Hi, Des!" bati nila sakin at bumeso saka pumasok sa loob.

Ang wala pa dito ay si Jonas, Cheater at Deneese.

Hindi ko naman ineexpect na pupunta pa dito ang kapatid ko dahil may sarili na siyang buhay. She wanted a peaceful life. Without Jonas.

Bumalik na rin ako sa loob at napasimangot nalang ako nang makita si Brylle na buhat na ni Nathalia.
