Avery's POV
So close yet so far.
That's what I could describe Raven, especially now. Lumalapit ako sa kanya ngunit siya naman ang lumalayo. Do I really deserve this? To be treated like this?
Honestly, namumukha na akong tanga sa mga ginagawa ko. Pero naisip ko... wala eh, mahalaga siya sa akin.
Ipagpapatuloy ko ang pag-reach out sa kanya lalo na't alam kong in the right time, mapapatawad din niya ang sarili niya.
"Saan siya nagsi-stay ngayon, Christian?" I asked him.
We are currently sitting inside the SSC Office. I personally asked him to come here upang makipag-usap tungkol kay Raven.
He is his usual self, happy and jolly. That' what I liked about Christian, para siyang isang bola ng positive energy. I envy him.
Kumpara sa kanya, I looked like a woman who just gave birth to a dozen children. I'm not my usual self. This is what I get from thinking so much about Raven.
"He asked his Lolo for a condominium. Ayaw niyang tumira sa mga condo namin, eh. Captain Raven is really stubborn. Namana niya ata 'yon sa'yo, eh!" He laughed, and I just smiled.
It didn't even reach my eye. Ewan, di ko kayang ngumiti ng totoo hangga't hindi kami nagkakaayos.
"I hope he's alright..." I sighed, then looked at Christian. Itinaas ko ang kilay ko, "Hmm. What if puntahan ko siya ulit? Asan nga ang condo niya?" I said, feeling hopeful.
"I... uh," I saw Christian gulped. Tila nagdadalawang isip siya sa pagsagot sa tanong ko. He scratched the back of his head and smiled at me apologetically.
Naintindihan ko agad iyon. I bowed my head, feeling really hopeless about this matter. I feel so frustrated and so devastated. Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko. Hindi ko rin alam kung saan ako magsisimula. Ewan.
A pair of hands touched my face. Nagulat ako doon at agad napaangat ang tingin sa nagmamay-ari niyon. Christian... There he was, looking at me in a way that...
No. It can't be... or?
Agad niyang iniwas ang kanyang tingin matapos hawakan ang aking mukha. He laughed nervously. "Ah, ang lungkot ng mukha! Sasabihin ko na nga sa iyo!" He said not looking at me.
What did just happen?
The look on his face was... I don't think that's just pure pity on me. But there was intensity and something that I couldn't name.
Hindi naman siguro. I shook my head and listened to him as he told me where Raven was.
Nawala ang awkward atmosphere na naramdaman ko kani-kanina lang nang biglang nag-ring ang cellphone ko. I excused myself for a while and headed outside.
Unknown number ito. Sino kaya ito?
"Hello..." I said, after pressing the accept button.
"Good afternoon, Miss Avery. This is Dylan—"
"From the V Group of companies. Right?" I said, nonchalantly.
Tumawag na naman sila. Why? Do they really need me that much? They are still not giving up on me. Am I that needed? Marami pa namang iba diyan na di hamak mas maganda kaysa sa akin. But then, they really insist.
"Oh, so you haven't forgotten about us, Miss Avery," He chuckled on the other line. Oh well.
"Yes. So bakit napatawag ulit kayo? To offer me that job again?" I asked. Baka naman kasi hindi pala iyon ang rason kung bakit napatawag sila.
