Invisible String

14

Shit, ang lakas talaga ng ulan ngayon.

"Alliyah..." Agad siyang napatingin sa'kin.

My brows furrowed when i saw her eyes.

Umiiyak ba siya?

"Are you crying?" I asked. Agad niyang pinunasan ang mukha niya.

"Why are you crying?"

She didn't answer, instead ay tumayo na lang siya at sumilong sa payong.

Binuksan ko ang pinto kaya agad na siyang pumasok.

Pagkapasok ko ay rinig ang hikbi niya.

"Tell me, why are you crying?" I asked. I hate to see her cry.

"Guilty." Mahinang sabi niya, ngunit rinig ko.

I started the engine.

"Guilty for what?" I asked.

"For not listening to you, dahil naiparamdam ko sa'yo na handa lang ako makinig pero hindi ako handang umintindi, asking for space even though ako ang may kasalan, and now, asking for help, after asking for space."

I looked at her.

I removed my seatbelt at niyakap siya.

" It's ok, Love. It's not a big deal for me. As long as sa'kin ka, ok lang ako. Stop being so hard to yourself. Tao ka lang din, nagkakamali lang din." I whispered to her.

"Sorry..."

" Sorry, Love. I hate myself for being a person like that. Everyone knows me for being kind and understanding, but i can't even understand you."

" It's fine, Love. It's ok. Do you still need a space?" I asked her.

" Bakit ba napakabait mo sa'kin?" I smiled because of her question.

" Because i love you, and i don't want to lose you."

" Sorry talaga, Love." She whid again.

" Shh, let's forget about that."

" I don't need space anymore. I just want to be with you na. Sorry...sorry." She said and hugged me tight.

" Stop saying sorry, Love. We're now ok."

Manila, mahal mo ba ako?

Bwisit talaga Boracay 'no?

Nakatulog na si Alliyah habang nagmamaneho ako.

My phone starts ringing.

[Jusko porsanto. Nasa'n ka na? Nakauwi ka na? Si Alliyah?]

" Chill, Maila. Alliyah is with me na. Nagpasundo na."

[Uy. Ok na kayo? Buti naman, kami kasi ni Cole hindi.]

[ANO NANAMAN GINAWA KO?!] I heard Cole asking Maila.

Natawa naman ako bahagya.

[Sabihin mong wala?! Eh tinapon mo nga 'yong favorite kong ribbon!]

[Hindi ko nga sadya!]

I ended the call na agad bago pa ako madamay.

-

" Love, we're here na." Dahan-dahan naman minulat ni Alliyah ang mata niya.

"Love." She called me.

"Can we stay in your condo?" She asked.

"We?"

"Ling and Me." I smiled.

"You always stay in my condo kaya."

"Hey! Last last last last last night sa condo ko ako natulog!"

It's good to see her being jolly again.

Red string and destiny...tiwala ako sainyo.

"Let's go na."

-

"Ling! Stop eating my hair!" I shouted.

Tawa lang ng tawa si Alliyah.

"Do want to vomit red hair ba ha!" I asked ling bago ko siya tanggalin sa ulo ko. Nakahiga na kami ni Alliyah, and this Lingling won't stop eating my hair!

"Idol niyan si Sakuragi."

My brows furrowed.

" Are you calling me Sakuragi?" I asked.

Natawa naman si Alliyah." Ikaw kaya sakuragi namin ni Ling."

"Long hair Sakuragi."

I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"Now thumb ko naman kinakagat mo ha!"

"Oh wait, love! I think i know na sa'n tayo nagsimula."

"Hiraya Elem garden."
"Hiraya Elem garden."

"Omg?!"

"Because of that lalo tuloy akong naniwala sa invisible string na sinasabi nila." I said.

"We're really meant to be!"

-

"PUNYETANG TRABAHO 'TO!" Sigaw ni Jhayme.

"Anong nangyari riyan?" I asked Cole and Gea.

"Paling pag r-ruler."

Agad ko namang binato ng papel si Jhayme.

"Ikaw talaga taga ubos ng stock ng papel sa company."

Jhayme rolled her eyes. "Gusto ko na lang maging sugar baby ni Soleil."

"Parehas lang naman kayong reklamador." Cole said.

"Lol, diba may kasalanan ka pa kay Maila?" I said and laughed.

" Pinalitan ko na nga! Ayaw tumigil. Sabi 'Cole, alam mo ba, pinakamamahal na ribbon ko 'yon.' sinakal ko na si Soleil no'ng nabagsak niya 'yon' Kinilabutan ako, binili ko bago."

" Eh teka nga! Kamusta kayo ni Alliyah?" Jhayme asked.

" We're now good. She keeps saying sorry, actually kanina pagkagising namin sorry agad bungad niya." Nakangiting sabi ko.

" Guilty lang 'yon. Super duper guilty. Siguro hindi lang talaga napigilan ang sarili, hindi naman siya gano'n eh, natakot lang siguro." Jhayme said.

"Don't worry about that anymore. Mahalaga, sa'kin siya umuuwi."

" Naging bahay bigla angputcha." I glared at Cole.

" Palibhasa sa'kin nakikitambay si Maila eh! Dugyot ka kasi sa condo mo!"

" FOUL! " Sigaw ni Gea at humarang sa gitna namin.

" Oh, oh! Hawakan mo nga sa tenga kung matapang ka!" Jhayme said kaya natawa kami parehas ni Cole.

"Wala 'to, hindi matapang!"

"Weh, at least hindi ako kumakanta ng sintunado kapag lasing." I said before taking a sip from my tumbler.

" MEGA FOUL!"
