8 Years Gap

Gap #13

Sean's POV

Yeah. I know her and  we had a past, but I didn't know that she is related to Yumi.

I'm searching for her. I always did.

 

"Hi..." Nanginginig niyang sagot. "How do you know, Yumi?" I smiled when I asked, but she seem annoyed.

Yumiji's POV

Its like... she don't want to talk to him. What is their past? Did it pained her that much? I stood up and pull her to my side. I faced to her siblings and cousins. 

"I want to borrow Angeli. Excuse us." I held her hand and we walked towards the exit, when I encountered Iyah.

Another lie of hers.

"Yumi?" Her voice cracked.

"So what's the feeling of being guilty, Iyah?" I honestly said to her. 

If only I could break up from this...

If only I wanted to break the promise I had with her...

If only I don't love her...

Wait. Did she really didn't? Then I'm loving her for nothing.

"And, who is she?" She said with her left eyebrow raised. 

"She is Ma'am Lanie's daughter, my friend. And you? Why did you lie about going to work, but instead you're here in this mall, eating lunch with Sean?" I endured being angry. I hate liars. She know that, yet she is. 

"Now, we're even right?" What? Where is the word 'even' in that?  I let go of Angeli's hand, and furiously talked back at Iyah.

"Can you hear your words? You lied to me. You said that you're going to work, but instead I'm seeing you here with Sean." She was about to say a word, when I cut her off. 

"At this point of time, you're supposed to be working, right? After all, it's just minutes ago that you texted." She averted her eyes, all because my words are true. I was about to say a word, when Angeli held my hand.

"Let's go." I was surprised. I looked at our surroundings. People are looking at us. 

"Excuse us." Angeli said to Iyah and Sean. She held my hand, and we walk away from that place.

Angeli's POV

I can feel his trembling hands, syempre magkahawak kami ng kamay. Pero gusto niya umiyak eh, pinipigilan niya lang. Pumunta kami sa parking lot at binitawan ko yung kamay niya.
