Chapter 47

"Oh my god, bebe ko! Hindi pa ba maaayos 'yan?! Late na tayo sa kasal ni Shai!" kanina pa nagsisigaw si Myka dahil ang sinasakyan nilang kotse. 

Napapakamot na lang sa ulo si Earl dahil nagawa na niya lahat pero hindi pa rin niya maayos yung kotse. Natataranta na siya dahil mangiyak-ngiyak na si Myka sa inis. 

"Bebe ko, calm down."

"How to keep calm, Earl? Ughhhhh! Akala ko ba sinure mo na maayos yung kotse? Nag-i-start na yung kasal for sure! Hindi ko na nakita si bessy na naglalakad sa aisle." Tapos biglang ngumuso at humalukipkip si Myka at tumalikod kay Earl.

Napapikit si Earl dahil sa inis, sinipa niya yung gulong ng kotse sabay bulong. "Tangina mong kotse ka, ngayon ka pa nagloko."

"Bakit kaya wala pa si Myka at Earl?" sabi ni Ashmiya sa sarili, lumilingon-lingon rin siya sa may likod at nagbabaka-sakali na dumating na sila Myka. But, kahit anino nung dalawa di niya makita.

"Ashmiya, are you okay? Why do you keep on looking at the back? Are you waiting for him?" 

Napatingin si Ashmiya kay Thomas na katabi niya. She blushed nang makita niya ang pang-asar na ngiti ng binata. While Shai is getting dressed earlier, nag-usap silang dalawa. And Ashmiya told Thomas everything about Knight.

"Sheesh, hindi ah..." sabay iwas ng tingin ni Ashmiya at balik ng tingin sa harapan. Kung saan nagsisimula na ang kasal nila Shai at Layner.

Thomas just chuckled at how Ashmiya reacts.

"Knight? Where are you? Nandito na ko sa loob! Kanina pa kita hinahanap. Ugh!" nasa may dulo si Misaki at kakatawag lang niya kay Knight, she is relieved nang for the 3rd time sinagot na ng fiance niya ang tawag.

"Eros called me. Sorry. I'm going there." Sagot ng binata sa kabilang linya and he hung up.

Naglakad-lakad si Misaki at napatigil siya nang makita niya si Ashmiya na nakangiti at masayang nakikipagkwentuhan kay Thomas. "Shimatta. Knight shouldn't go here..." bulong niya sa sarili at tumalikod at umalis. She called Knight again. "Pick it up, pick it up," paulit-ulit niyang sabi.

"What now? I'm on my way there, Misa. Can't you just wait?" inis na sagot ni Knight.

"No! Don't go here. I don't feel well, let's just meet on the lounge." Then she ended the call. "They can't meet. No way. Not this time that someone sent that pictures of them together, I'm sure Knight remembers some of his old memories. Damn it."

"Why am I wearing your polo shirt?" pakurap-kurap na tanong ni Daphne.

Nathan smiled. "Ah, you vomited last night. So I let you borrow my polo shirt."

Biglang namutla si Daphne na napansin naman ni Nathan.

Nathan chuckled and he stands up, lumakad siya kung nasaan si Daphne. "Relax. I'm not the one who changed your clothes. I asked for a maid to do that."

"Okay, magbibihis lang ako and I'll leave."

Kumunot ang noo ni Nathan dahil sa sinabi ng dalaga. "Why? Do you blame yourself for what happened?"

"It's my fault. Everything is my fault, Nate. I shouldn't kiss you last night hindi sana tayo nakita ni Natasha. Hindi sana siya nagalit. I hurt my best friend. I hurt her." 

"But you are hurt too, Daphne. She is not the only one who is in pain right now." 

Napahawak si Daphne sa polo shirt na suot niya. Everything comes back at her like a river, all the pain she felt because of what Kevin said, the pain she felt when Natasha called her traitor...
