Invisible String

2

"Just call me Alliyah if it's not about work."

"Maze na lang sa'kin."

Her phone suddenly starts ringin kaya sinagot niya.

[Hello, Alliyahhh! Help me na kasi! Chance ko na maging sugarbaby!]

"Hindi ko nga kilala 'yang oranger hair na short hair na 'yan."

Orange hair?

Gea?

"Does your friend have dimples?" I suddenly asked.

Alliyah nods.

"I think i know kung sino ang tinutukoy niya." Alliyah looked at me.

Kinuha ko ang phone ko at naghanap ng picture ni Geo.

Inabot ko kay Alliyah ang phone no'ng nakahanap na ako.

" Ito ba?" Alliyah asked at pinakita ang picture.

[Omg! Siya! Siya ang future ko!!!]

"Wala akong pake, bye!"

And she ended the call.

"What's her name?" Alliyah asked.

"Gea Apuli."

"Sorry ha, lumalandi lang, minsan pang makahanap ng lalandiin eh." Natawa naman ako sa sinabi niya.

Well, Gea is kinda frustrated na rin kakahanap.

Napatingin ako sa orasan.

"I need to go na, i have works pa." Alliyah smiled at me.

"Oh, ok! Ingat!"

-

"I found the girl na hinahanap mo." I said to Gea. She looked at me.

"What's her name?! Whats her name?!!"

"Swayne. Iyon lang nalaman ko, pero kilala ka na niya, baka i message ka na mamaya. Nag kis-"

"Shut up!"

I laughed at nag focus na lang sa ginagawa ko.

"Putangina?! Ruler ka ba?! Bakit paling!" Reklamo ni Jhayme.

"Bading ka kasi." Cole said, Jhayme glaired at her.

"Akala mo siya hindi! Sino ba may girlfriend sa'tin ha?!" Jhayme asked.

" Bakit? Paling ba ako mag ruler?" Cole asked and raised her eyebrow.

" EDE WOW!"

I just shrugged my shoulders at napatingin na lang sa laptop ko.

My phone buzzed and a message popped out.

09*********

Hi, this is Alliyah! Hindi ko pala nalagyan name!

Alliyah

(Maze) Ok na.
👍

" Sunduin ko lang si Maila! Bye peeps!"

Lumabas na si Cole.

" Putangina, ayoko na!" Pagsuko ni Jhayme at binaba ang lapis.

"Naka lapis ka na nga lang dami mo pang reklamo." Gea said.

"ILANG PAPEL NA NAGAMIT KO! KAPAG BINALLPEN NA, TSAKA PUMAPALING!" Inis na sigaw ni Jhayme.

"Buti pa si Maze oh, tahimik lang."

Ako nanaman nakita nila.

"Pangit kasi inspiration niyan dati! Lalake!" Natatawang sabi ni Jhayme. I glared at her.

Well, malay ko bang hindi kami tatagal! If i only know na magiging matigas lang ang puso ko, hindi ko na lang sana sinagot si Justine.

"2 weeks pa lang sila nag break na bigla."

"Bukod sa cheater nga si Justine, hindi na nakaramdam ng sparks si Maze."

"What if invisible string theory?" My brows furrowed.

" What?" I asked.

" What if you are already tied with someone. That's why hindi ka pa rin nakakahanap ULIT ng mamahalin." Gea said, lalo namang kumunot ang noo ko.

" Naniniwala pa kayo ro'n? Fake lang 'yan." I said.

" What if sa dami ng nakabungguan mo dati, isa pala ro'n ay ang the one?"

" Stop with that theory, Gea. Tanda mo na, naniniwala ka pa sa ganiyan." Inis kong sabi.

Invisible string theory, pfft.

"I don't even know ano 'yan. Pero sa sinasabi mo pa lang, i know it's not real."

Gea rolled her eyes.

"It's like nagkasama na kayo, pero hindi niyo kilala ang isa't isa. Like many times na kayong nagkasama. Then in the future magiging kayo. Then ma r-realize niyo na same place, same date, pwede rin na photo bomber ka sa picture niya. At nando'n na ang red string, nakakabit na sainyo. Ilang beses na kayong nagtatagpo, pero hindi niyo pa rin alam. That's because of the destiny and the red string na naka attached sainy-"

"Ok, stop. Manahimik ka na. Stop with that theory."

"Bahala ka."

Gosh, Gea. Andami mong alam.

"Kung hindi mo pa rin mahanap ang the one. Uulit ulitin ko sa'yo ang invisible string na 'yan."

" Blablabla dami mong alam." I closed my laptop.

The “invisible string theory” that has taken over TikTok is based on the idea that you have already met your soulmate long before you realized it. According to this theory, you may have already met your soulmate without even realizing it. For example, while looking at old photo albums, you may notice that the person in the background of a vacation or birthday party is now your current partner. You and your partner may have been in the same place at the same time in the past, without even knowing it.

Pfftt.

Daming alam.

This is so obvious na fake lang.

Dami namang uto-uto ngayon.

"Pero what if-" I glared at Gea.

"What if para sa babae ka!"

"Hot." I replied.

"Hot?"

"It looks hot kapag babae ka relasyon."

"Hot na ba si Cole niyan?"

"Hindi. Hindi na apply sakaniya 'yon." I replied, natawa naman si Jhayme.

"What if ako pala ang ka invisible string mo?" Jhayme asked.

"Papakamatay na ako."
