Chapter 27: Text Messages and Surprises

Georgina's POV

Give me space, Ken. Do us both a favor; we badly need this time off.

In life, there will always be a time that you just want to distant yourself from other people especially with the ones you hold dear to your heart. You do this for a reason, a selfish reason to have time for yourself. An alone time to think things over, to have some introspection and find inner peace. However, no matter how beneficial it is to you, it has drawbacks to your relationship with others. As I've observed, when I texted and asked Ken for some time off our relationship just turned melodramatic and quiet.

Both of us were hanging by a thread. Neither of us tried to reach out and apologize after I sent that text Monday evening. That was the fateful day after we fought and I stormed out of his car. And now a week later, we're still on our "time off" drama in life. I don't have any idea if what I just asked was time off or cool off. But anyway, it knocked some sense to him. After that text, he no longer bombarded me with texts, calls, and even got off my freaking condo's door asking me to come out and talk to him.

Yes, he practically stayed up all night of Sunday begging me to talk to him. Being the stubborn and bitch I am, I refused oblige. Talking at that time, considering the state we were in, was not ideal to begin with. How could two lovers who were exhausted, mad, and who has freaking issues to resolve on their own can possibly fix things overnight? The answer to that was: Impossible. So I chose to be rational that time and did what I thought was best for the both of us.

"Hello, earth to George!" Ira snapped a finger in front of me.

That pulled me out of my trip on memory lane. "Hmmmm?" I quirked at eyebrow at her. She shook her head in disbelief. "Don't hmmmm me. Nag-text na ba si Ken? Rather tinext mo na ba siya?" Oh my god. For the nth time she's been bugging me kung nagtext o tumawag na ba si Ken. Umiling-iling na lang ako.

Bigla niya akong binatukan at sinermunan.

"What was that for?" I snapped at her. Medyo umalog yata ang utak ko sa pagkakabatok niya. "To knock some sense in you, Georgina Arboleda." Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya. So sinadya niya talagang lakasan para matauhan ako. "Ang sakit nung pagkakabatok mo. Ira naman e." Nag-pout ako sa kanya kasi masakit talaga.

"Don't Ira me, Georgina. Call him. Talk to him. Bwisit na bwisit akong nakikita kang parang zombie kung makalakad sa firm. Si Ken na naman ang dahilan. Kaya ang tanging solusyon dyan ay mag-usap na kayo." Sapphire rolled her eyes at me.

Nakakatawa talaga siya kapag concern at galit. "Ayoko. Bakit ko siya kakausapin? Ni hindi pa nga siya nagso-sorry eh! Sorry muna bago usap." Bakit ba, e sa ayaw ko pa munang makipag-usap hangga't hindi siya yung nagso-sorry at nag-aapproach. "Gaga ka pala e. Sino ba kasi yung tangang nagtext nito kay Ken?" She waved my iphone in front of me and saw the text I've sent Ken a week ago. Umiling-iling lang si Ira.

A frustrated sigh escaped from my lips. Yeah. Ako yung tanga at gagang nagsend nung text kay Ken. "No way, Ira. Let this time off make him realize how immature he was para bigyan ng malisya yung pagtulong ko kay Jean! I was just there for Jean to comfort him, nothing else! It's as if I'm offering myself to him! God, how stupid Ken could be to think such?" I huffed out in an exasperated tone.

"George, you know Ken's issues. Siguro nagselos lang talaga siya noon. Add the fact that kakauwi lang niya noon from US. Must be the jetlag as well. Make amends, my dearest friend." Ira's statement and facial expression made her want to cry her heart out.
