Fated To Love You

Chapter 5

Alyssa’s POV

I was about to go to sleep ng biglang mag ring ang phone ko. It was Ella.. requesting for a facetime..

“Alyssa Valdez! Ang tagal sumagot ha..”

“Aba Jorella Marie De Jesus, I’m a busy woman you know..”

“Hahaha. Busy mo mukha mo.. So kamusta naman and bagong work?”

“Ok naman. So far so good. Ang dami ko natutunan today. I was able to go around the plant, meet people and tinuruan ako ng partner ko sa lahat ng dapat ko matutunan”, pagkukwento ko

“Partner? Lalaki ba yan? Pogi ba besh? Yummy ba?”, sunod sunod nyang tanong.

“Hahahaa. Besh kaloka ka talaga. Hahaha.. Hmm..well, Yes ang sagot ko sa lahat ng tanong mo…”

Napatili naman si Ella sa kabilang linya.

“Beshhhhh!!! Magkakaboyfriend ka na…”

“Loko ka! Kakakilala palang boyfriend na agad? At saka baka naman di ako type nun.. At saka may girlfriend ata yun sa Pinas…” sagot ko..

Inabot kami ng isang oras sa pagchichikahan. Kung di pa sya tinawag ng kapatid nya, di pa kami matitigil..

“Nga pala Ly… ayaw ako tantanan ni Ryle.. Tanong ng tanong tungkol sayo.. Kausapin mo na nga yun.. Magpaalam ka ng maayos..” pahabol ni Ella bago nya binaba ang tawag.

Gusto ko naman talaga magpaalam kay Ryle bago ako umalis noon. Ayoko lang kasi talaga makagulo pa sa utak nya.. Ok na yung lahat e. Kaya mas pinili ko nalang na lumayo sa kanya. Para sa kanya din to...

Throwback

Ryle has been my bestfriend since first year college. We were seatmates kasi. Since magkasunod surname namin. He was so good in Math back then. Sya palagi nagtuturo sakin pag may di ako maintindihan.. We also took and passed the board exam at the same time.. We were inseparable. That’s until we both started working.  We barely had time for each other. I admit, I missed him so much. I missed my bestfriend. I’ll be lying if I’ll say I didn’t have feelings for him.. I like him since we’re college. Kahit alam kong di nya ko magugustuhan. He had girlfriends before. Pero never sya lumayo sakin kahit na alam ko na pinagseselosan ako ng mga nun.

Ella and I are having a dinner in our favorite restaurant when suddenly, Ryle came. He was so happy when he approached us..

“Bes!! I have something to tell you!” , wika nya..

“I’m engaged! Crisha said Yes to me! You’re bestfriend is getting married..”, dire diretso nyang sabi..

I was shocked. Di ako nakareact agad.. I didn’t see it coming. At least for now… 1 year palang kasi sila ni Crisha. Pero alam ko kung gaano nya to kamahal. Ilang beses na nya tong iniyakan before..

“Uy bes! Wala ka bang sasabihin? Di mo man lang ba iko congrats ang bestfriend mo? Sa wakas papakasalan ko na yung babaeng mahal ko..”

Lahat ng sinabi nya.. tumagos sa puso ko.. ang sakit din pala kahit papano..

“Ah eh.. Congrats bes! Sobrang happy ko for you..”

Days have passed. I’ve decided na din na wag muna kausapin si Ryle. Mas maganda na din siguro to. Para mabilis akong maka move on. Di ko sinasagot texts at calls nya. I kept myself busy with some other things. I decided to accept a job offer overseas.. Matagal na din kasi ako kinukulit dun.. That way, mahahanap ko yung sarili ko and mas makakaiwas ako sa kanya…
