Good Girl Gone Bad (PUBLISHED)

Chapter 61

Our attentions were diverted to Nof, "Nof.."

"Hmm?" she said.

"Are you seeing someone?" i blurted out. Mamaya niloloko lang pala ako ni Josh!!

She shrugged, "sure. I'm seeing couple of guys. Why d'you ask?"

I grinned. Josh just met his match. He's just one of her boys. Hahaha! He's right. She's inflicting a great damage to his already bruised ego. Way to go, Nof! Beat him at his own game!

"Wala lang. Anything serious?"

She shrugged again, "ewan. Just playing around."

Then we talked a bit more. I miss these days. Yung nag uusap lang kayo ng friends mo about anything under the sun. Parang walang kwenta lang yung pinag uusapan namin pero ang saya saya. Dati parang tine take for granted ko yung mga ganitong moment, pero ngayon, isa na to sa treasured moments ko.

Past 11 na nung naubos yung drinks namin, "wait, kukuha pa ako," Nof said, "pagbalik ko, i have something to tell you."

Oh well. Ano ba yung something na yun?

While waiting for Nof, i went to the comfort room since madami dami na din kaming nainom. I also checked my phone. Hindi naman importante yung ibang texts kaya binura ko na din yung ibang message threads. While erasing those, nakita ko yung isang text ni Cy.

From: Cyriel Edrian Perez

Call me.

Call him? Ano bang meron? I checked his message, it was sent just ten minutes ago. Siguro naman gising pa siya, di ba?

calling..

Cyriel Edrian Perez

After few rings, he picked up his phone.

("Dana..")

"Cy, bakit mo ko pinatawag?" i asked. Something important? Hindi naman niya siguro ako papatawagin out of the blue lang, di ba?

("Nasa airport ako..")

"Huh?"

("I'll be gone for 2 weeks..")

"Bakit?" i asked. Bakit siya aalis? Biglaan naman yata? Kalagitnaan ng sem ah! Di ba dapat naghahabol pa siya since delayed na nga siya ng 2 sem?

("Business matters. I will miss you..")

I smiled, "i'll miss you, too. San ka ba pupunta?"

("Sa Davao lang.")

"Davao lang pala eh. I could visit you, if you want," i offered. Davao lang. Akala ko naman out of the country.

("Wag na. Hindi din kita maaasikaso.. I'm sorry, Dana..")

"Sus. Nasa airport ka pa ba? Ihahatid kita, gusto mo?"

("Hindi. Nasa Davao na ako. Sige, tawagan kita bukas. Gabi na din, matulog ka na.")

I chuckled, "hindi na po ako bata. Ikaw nga jan, pahinga ka na."

("i will. Nasan ka ba? Parang ang ingay jan ah.")

Nilock ko pa yung pinto ng cr. Ang ingay naman kasi! Weekday na weekday, puno 'tong bar! Napaghahalataan talaga na party people mga tiga St. Claire's eh!

"Ah, sa bar ni Dave. Girl's night out," i explained to him. Hala, natatagalan na yata ako. Nakabalik na kaya si Nof? May sasabihin pa siya, di ba??

("Ikaw magddrive pauwi? Tsk. Magpasundo ka na lang.")

"Ay, daddy, ikaw ba yan? Sige, sige, aalis na ako. Bye, fiance. Pahinga ka na jan," i said then i ended the call.

Ano ba kasi yung ginagawa niya sa Davao? Importante ba yun?
