Heartlines of Time [Celestia Series #1]

XIII - 13

It's already 6pm, usapan namin ng barkada ay 7pm nandun na kami. I didn't text Enzo tungkol dito because even if I text him naman hindi rin naman mag rereply o magbabasa ng messages yun.

I wear my backless silver dress partnered with silver high heels, I also curl my hair and add some glittered hair clips. Malapit na mag 7pm at naka recieve na rin ako ng chat from the group chat na on the way na sila kaya nag madali na akong tapusin ang pag mamake up ko.

As I opened the door, I saw Enzo standing there. He is holding a bouquet of pink roses and some foods, he smile at me pero mabilis rin nawala nang makita niya ang suot ko.

"You're going somewhere?" He ask surveying my outfit.

"Yeah, It's Saturday Night Out ng barkada. What are you doing here by the way??" I ask back coldly. We just stare each other for a minute, then he nod giving me the flowers and food.

"Here! Enjoy your night then"

"Yeah right, keep the flower in your unit. I'm in a hurry kasi, kukunin ko nalang later" Sabi ko at umalis na.

I left him there, I saw pain from his eyes. Nasasaktin rin naman ako at naguiguilty but he can't blame me for acting like this.

Nakarating na ako sa BGC night club, agad ko namang nakita sila Ezra na naka upo sa may pang limahang table.

"Did you start drinking without me??" Bungad ko sa kanila at isa isang hinalikan sa pisngi.

"Oo Gaga, ang tagal mo!" Sigaw naman ni Ezra.

"It's your shot na girl" Talla said handing me the glass of mojito.

I saw Yanna busy texting, and Eria na kumakain ng pulutan. Nag inoman lang kami habang nag uusap sa mga latest update ng buhay, I also share about my relationship with Enzo and all they say is to talk Enzo first.

Lumalalim na ang gabi, Eria and Yanna is already drunk. Natatamaan na rin ako ng alak kaya I ask my girls to dance, agad naman silang pumayag. Sobrang wild na ng crowd but we don't care, nag sasayaw lang kami as much as we want while still drinking, some guys approach us pero I let them saw my phone which has a wallpaper of me and Enzo kaya agad naman sila nag back out.

After a couple of hours, parang hindi ko na kinaya at nasusuka na ako. Tumakbo ako sa pinakamalapit na bathroom and vomit, hinihimas ko ang ulo ko dahil sumasakit na ito. marahan lang akong naglalakad palabas ng banyo pero muntik na akong matumba sa sahig buti nalang may nakahawak sa bewang ko. I look up and saw Enzo, so sinusundan niya ako dito??

"What are you doing here? Umalis ka nga!" I said while pushing him.

"You're drunk Aquila, we should go home"

"I'm not! Ok siguro oo nga lasing na ako, pero bakit ba?" Nagmamatigas pa rin ako sa kanya. I don't want him to be here! At mas lalong ayoko muna makipag usap sa kanya na ganito ang kalagayan ko.

Later did I know, he already carry me. Nakasalubong namin si Ezra kaya nagpaalam siya na e uuwi niya na ako. Nakarating kami sa parking lot kung nasaan ang kotse niya, he place me in the front seat pagkatapos ay pumunta siya sa driver's seat. I want to talk to him right now, kasi kung hindi ngayon, kailan pa??

"Can you get me some water??" I ask him, he look at me and get his water bottle from the back seat, he first open it before giving it to me. Uminom muna ako bago magsalita ulit, I'm a little bit tipsy right now kaya kahit papaano alam ko ang mga pinag gagawa ko.

"Wala ka bang duty?" I look at him, he looks worried and coufused sa attitude ko.

"Wala, I'm free tonight. I didn't know you have other plans" he said.

"Kung free ka pala ngayon, bakit hindi ka nag text kagabi na makikipag kita ka sa akin para naman alam ko at ma cancel ko yung lakad ko para sayo"

"I'm sorry, I was about to text you that night but some emergency happen"

"Puro ka sorry Enzo, naiirita na ako sa sorry mo! Pinilit kong intindihin ka Enzo kasi alam ko nahirap yang trabaho mo pero isang update o text lang naman kailangan ko hindi mo pa magawa o kung wala ka talagang oras mag text you can send me your pictures kung ano ginagawa mo right?"

He remain silent, ito na nga ba sinasabi ko. Kaya ayoko ng makipag usap ng may alak kasi masasabi ko talaga lahat ng gusto kong sabihin ng walang pag aalinlangan.

"2 months na tayo next week, pero yung relasyon natin parang hindi mag jowa, mas may time ka pa nga makipag usap sa akin nung hindi pa tayo eh"

"I love you, isn't that what's important?" biglang sabi niya. Dahan dahang tumulo ang mga luha ko.

"Love? Hindi ko naman maramdaman yun Enzo eh. Minsan nga naisip kong mag doctor nalang rin para makasama kita kahit papaano, minsin naiingit ako sa mga kasamahan mong babae kasi mas nakakausap mo pa sila ng madalas kaysa sakin"

"You're being immatured Aquila, ofcourse were in the same field! Do you think this is not a difficult situation for me too?" This is the first time that he raise his voice for me. I know I'm childish for acting this way, bakit? May karapatan naman ako diba? Girlfriend niya ako!

"Hindi mo kasi naintindihan Enzo, ayoko nito! Ayoko sa nararamdaman ko ngayon!" I said and started sobbing. I hear him sigh.

"Do you need time?" He ask, I look at him and I can see in his eyes that his hoping na hindi ako sumagot ng Oo sa tanong niya kasi that means our relationship will be call off and stuck. Ayoko rin naman, ayoko kasi hanggang sa kaya ko titiisin ko.

"No, ayoko! I love you Enzo. So please iparamdam mo sa akin kahit minsan lang na priority mo rin ako" I said with a hint of begging.

"I'll try my best for you Aquila"

He lean towards my direction and kiss me.

"Are we good now?? You ok?? Do you still have something to say?" He ask softly. Umiling lang ako and minutes later naramdaman kong umaandar na ang kotse, habang nasa byahe tahimik lang kami and I feel sleepy kaya I close my eyes until I doze off.
