Treacherous Battle (Salvaje Caballero Series 2)

Ventinueve

That is why I need more time... I can't afford to hurt Jairo who have been with me all throughout the darkest times of my life. He put up with me and gave me strength and support that I needed wherein my family failed to give.

I don't know why I felt comfortable telling Annie about this. I felt like she understands me. She never butted in. She just listened.

And..when she opened up too. I was beyond shock. She told me about her disorder before and she also recovered from it. Maybe that's the reason why she can emphatize with me.

Nang makabalik sa hospital ay tumatawa na kaming dalawa. Naging magaan ang loob namin sa isa't isa.

"Ang tagal!" reklamo ni Zach nang makarating kami.

"Tumahimik ka nga!" pagsita ni Ynoa.

Natawa kaming lahat. Agad akong linapitan ni Nathan. Ramdam ko ang titig ni Annie habang nakangiti. She said she hopes for the best of us.

Hindi ko alam kung ilang oras kami roon bago nagpasyang umalis.

"Sige na umalis na kayo." pagtataboy pa ni Roemer sa amin.

"Bakit susundan ninyo nanaman ng kambal?" It was Zach

Ynoa laughed. "Inggit ka lang, wala ka kasing lovelife." asar ni Ynoa.

"Hashtag ghosted." asar ni Roemer

I laughed when Nathan held his chest as if very hurt and teased Zach.

Pikon na pikon na si Zach nang bumaling kay Brock. "Kapag ako, binalikan. Hu u kayong lahat!" asar na sambit niya.

Natawa kaming lahat. I don't know the story of Zach and why they are teasing him so bad. I'm going to ask Nathan later. I am curious..

Hindi ko napigilan ang sarili nang makapasok kami sa condo ni Nathan. "What happened to Zach?" tanong ko.

Natawa muna si Nathan bago sumagot. "Ghosted nga."

"Sabihin mo nga!"

"Sumeryoso din ang gago. We are forbidden to even speak the name of his girl." He chuckled.

When he told me the story, I laughed. But somehow I pity Zach. But oh..well. That's life. Parang natauhan ako nang makita ng cellphone sa center table. I turned it off since yesterday.

Nang pumasok si Nathan sa kwarto niya ay binuksan ko din ang cellphone. I braced myself for the bad news and all.

I received messages from my family of course. Pero una kong tinignan ay ang kay Jairo.
