#A1HisBestfriend
After kong nabasa ang text message. I knew na late na si Novel for his training but I would like to congratulate him. Bumili ako ng slice of cake for him. Tapos bread and coffee for our breakfast naman ang ginawa ko sa bahay.
He woke up at quarter to 9.
I see na nagmamadali na siya na naghahanap sa bag niya and he is so sick worried.
Nasa dining table lang ako.
"Hey."
Napalingon siya. Oh, hindi niya pala napansin na nasa harap ko lang siya. Nakaupo na kasi ako, sipping my coffee.
"Hey." Gulat na sabi niya.
"Cake."
Nagulat na naman siya.
"Cake for what, babe?" He carefully said.
"I'm sorry. Nabasa ko lang sa message ng Mom mo na you are qualified for Nationals. Congrats." I said.
Napatigil siya.
Napakalma na siya.
Is he happy with the cake I bought?
Napaupo siya tapos hinalikan ang pisngi ko.
"Thank you, baby."
"You're probably late for your training," I told him. He nodded.
"Pagagalitan ka ba?" I asked.
Umiling siya.
"Don't worry about it. I'm sure they'll understand." Sabi niya.
Napaisip lang ako.
"Nov, I was just thinking. Do you think your parents would like me?" I said. There's no need for me to be secretive to my boyfriend. Better to voice it all out than hiding and cry.
He paused.
"Of course." He said. "You're an intelligent woman, Elsie." He continued and pinched my nose. We laughed.
"Eat your cake and go."
"How sweet of you. Thank you." Sabi niya saka kumain na sa cake. He kissed me for a passionate time. For our farewell.
For our farewell.
Yes.
Because after that moment, a few days have passed and I still haven't contacted Novel.
I regretted that I just resigned. Kasi ang hirap maghanap ulit ng trabaho. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang papasukin kung wala naman talaga akong gustong pasukin na trabaho kasi all I wanted right now is to see... Novel.
I figured na baka busy siya sa swimming knowing about that Nationals Thing but can't he even contact me at all? Even on Facebook? Text? No time at all? What about sneaking at night like what he used to do before just to see... me?
I sighed.
"Are you ready for your drama play?" Sabi nung Musical directors namin.
I let out a smile. "Of course."
Nagsimula na yung drama. As a director, okay lang naman.
Natapos na ang lahat.
Nagsialisan na ang lahat sa theatre room.
Napatingin ako sa phone ko.
Andami ko nang text messages and missed call kay Novel. Pero wala talagang sumagot.
Ang saklap pa rin kasi wala na akong gana maghanap ng trabaho. I just wanna stay at home and just suffer in silence nalang siguro.
Naglakad ako pauwi kasi ayokong gumasto. I missed the bus na rin sa school kasi past 7 PM na. One hour din kasi akong napatulala sa loob ng theatre room mag-isa.
"Shit." Sabi nang makaramdam ako ng chills habang naglalakad. Gabi na kasi. Tapos medyo umaambon.
Napasinghap nalang talaga ako ng hangin. Okay na 'to. Atleast sa paglalakad madidistract ako.
I was just walking down the street when a man with a motorbike suddenly stopped in my front.
I almost screamed kasi nagulat ako.
Napatigil ako sa paglalakad kasi nakaharang siya.
Who is this?
I swear this isn't Novel at all.
He took out his helmet.
A man with a bangs but slicked it back right after he took out his helmet. I am so stunned nang bigla nalang siyang lumapit sa akin.
He gave me another helmet.
"Sakay." Sabi niya.
Napakunot ang mata ko.
"What?" Sabi ko. "Sino po—"
"I saw you suffering in silence and waited for my best friend to come back. But he is not here in the Philippines, okay?" Malambing niyang sabi pero nakakunot yung mukha niya which make him look like galit siya sa akin.
"You're whose best friend?"
"Entious. Novel. Your boyfriend."
Na-fluttered ako.
How come this guy knows me when Novel hasn't introduced me to his friends yet.
"Did he sent you here to pick me up?"
He sighed.
"Sakay. I'll accompany you for a while."
Napatango nalang ako.
So he is not in the Philippines.
Tapos parang hindi naman siguro sinabihan ang lalaki to na kunin ako or something. Naawa lang ata? Sino ba siya?
"Sakay. And I will explain. Though I hate explaining to anyone. Pero I'll do it for you."
"I don't know if I could trust you." Sabi ko.
He sighed again.
"Witty." He said.
"I'm Bhryle. I'm Novel's friend since high school."
"Bhryle?"
"Bhryle Steven James. I'll keep you company starting today."
