Endless Wait

Amber's POV

"Patay na kaya 'to?" I asked Astraea, sinamaan niya akong tingin kaya sinamaan ko din siya ng tingin.

"Rosé Anastasia Park! Gising!" Ani Astraea.

"May idea ako, sandali."

Astraea squinted her eyes, she already knows I'm going to do something weird. Muntik na akong matouch, my best friend knows me so well. Awe.

Kinuha ko yung glass sa bed side table ni Rosé tiyaka nilagyan ng tubig and you already know what I'm going to do, right?

"AHHH!" sigaw ng gising at basang Rosé.

I smiled, feeling proud of what I just did.

"Ano ba problema mo ha?!" Bulyaw ni Rosé saakin.

"Ayaw mo kasi gumising. Ano ba nangyari sayo kagabi?" Diretso kong tanong.

"Kagabi?" Clueless lang?

"Yes last night." Pagtratranslate ni Astraea.

"Hindi mo ba naaalala mo nangyari kagabi? Sayang naman. Papakwento ko panaman sayo. Tandaan mo please."

Sinamaan niya ako ng tingin. Bakit ba ang sama tumingin ng mga 'to?

Astraea sighed and brought out her phone.  She played some kind of audio clip.

"Hello? Is this Astraea"

"Yes.. who's this? Why do you have my friend's phone?"

"Sungit. Ehem." Pagpaparinig ko.

"Dean. Dean Riala, your friend is drunk. Can you pick her up? We're at Eureka."

"HA?! WHY IS SHE DRUNK?! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FRIEND?!"

Nanlaki ang mata ni Rosé.

"Shit. Seryoso?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong niya.

"Chill there missy. She did this to herself, don't worry I didn't do anything to her. Can you pick her up she's----HEY! TUMAYO KA NGA DIYAN! DON'T LAY THERE! FUCKING HELL YOU'RE DIFFICULT AS HELL! PLEASE HURRY UP AND PICK HER UP."

And the audio clip ended.

"Oh bakit ganyan itsura mo? Disappointed na walang gina--"

"Che! Buset ka!"

"Congratulations. 2 steps closer na kayo ni Dean." Pangaasar ni Astraea.

"Wah! Bakit ko ginawa yun?! Buset na Kuya Miguel! Papatayin ko talaga yun! Kasalanan niya 'to eh!" Sigaw niya.

"Oh ano namang kasalanan ko?" Tanong ng kakapasok palang na si Kuya Miguel.

"Tatanong mo pa?! Buset ka!"

And they fought and they fought and they fought.

I blanked out while looking at my phone. Isang araw na ang lumipas hindi na ulit nagmessage si Prince. He has never been like this, kahit busy siya he'll find time to atleast send me a text.

"Waiting for Prince again?" Astrea asked. InOA niya yung part na waiting and again. Napaka kontrabida talaga neto pag dating sa love life namin, 'no?

"Bakit 'di ka kaya magkaboyfriend, Astraea? Nang hindi lumaganap yang kabitteran mo." Pagsusuggest ko.

"Walang magkakamaling ligawan yan! Tignan mo siya! Ang scary!" Sabat ni Rosé. Tiyaka kami nagtawanan.

When Astraea smiles she looks nice and approachable. Honestly her features are soft, mukha siyang mabait. Kaso, pag nagsalita na siya and nagpoker face she looks scary. Isa lang naging almost  boyfriend niya pero let's not talk about it anymore hehe.
