One Night Ride ( Chasing Romance Series #1)

Chapter 7

"Sana all, Rome!"

Nakikinig lang ako sa daldal ni Althea habang kumukuha ng damit dahil uuwi ulet ako sa amin. I need to check up on Ram baka ano na nangyari sakanya.

"Sana all talaga, Rome." Ulit ni Althea. I've been hearing that darn Sana All, Rome nayan for few days already dahil narinig nya sinabi sa akin ni Train. Hindi ko din naman sila mapigilan whenever i defend myself as i sound "in denial." daw, fuck that.

"You guys know that i would never like Train. I'm too focused on my studies, there's no time to be in a relationship." Sagot ko at natahimik naman si Althea at ngumisi.

"Ilang beses ko ba sasabihin na hindi ko magugustuhan si Train, mas lalo naman sya. Hindi kame magkakagusto sa isa't isa, stop with the nonsense." I cut her off when she was about to say something. Nakaka-irita na, mas lalo lang akong kukulitin ni Train and ayoko na maingay buhay ko.

"I'll be going now, see you." Umalis na ako sa dorm at nagmadaling pumunta sa waiting shed para makapunta na din sa sakayan ng bus.

"Oh bakit ang aga ng uwi mo?" Bungad sa akin ni Mama, pagka-tapak na pagka-tapak ko sa loob ng bahay.

"Wala naman kameng klase bukas. Mas mabuti ng umuwi ako dito at mabantayan si Ram," sagot ko habang nilalapag ang gamit ko. "I can review too, don't worry about my studies. I can manage myself." I continued at naglakad na papunta sa kwarto ni Ram.

"Ate! Nakauwi kana ulet!" He greeted me with a smile as he's just lying down on his bed, sleepy.

"Yes i'm back, Ram. Go to sleep na, we can play your cars tomorrow." I showed him a small smile as he closed his eyes.

"Sweet dreams, Ram." I planted a kiss on his forehead and went out of his room. Nakabalik na ako sa kwarto ko and saw my phone ringing.

Althea from UP calling...

"Yes? What is it?" I asked her as i answered the call.

[Rome bakit ka umuwi nandito si Train!] Agad naman ako napabalikwas sa pagkakahiga sa nalaman.

"Just why would he be there? It's a friday for fuck's sake." Napakamot na ako sa ulo sa nalaman. Bakit sya pupunta sa dorm namen hindi naman babae yan si Kiran at lalo na hindi naman taga UP yan.

[You want to know? Edi ask him! Train oh hanap ka ni Rome.] Rinig kong tawag ni Althea kay Train. Sasabihin kona sana na wag tawagin ng si Train na pala ang may hawak ng cellphone.

[Hi Rome! Saan ka?] He asked.

"I'm at home. Why are you there at UP? Biyernes ngayon Train jusko. Balak mo bang magsayang ng gasolina ha? Parang may bibisitahin," I sound like i'm scolding him.

[Ayos lang naman. Kakamiss sa UP 'e, ganda dito.] He chuckled, completely ignoring what I said.

"Go home already ang layo ng uuwian mo. Wala naman dyan si Kiran dyan." I'm concerned, dahil traffic ngayon at buti nalang talaga maaga akong umuwi.

[Kiligin naba ako dyan? Concerned sya oh. Crush mo'ko?] He teased as I heard him chuckled. Napairap nalang ako sa
kataasan ng confidence ng lalakeng 'to.

"You're not my type, Train. Stop dreaming." Narinig ko naman ang tawa nila Althea sa tabi ni Train. It must be on loud speak, wow privacy.

[Sige ayos lang yan. Uuwi na ako, wala naman pupuntahan ko dito.] I heard them tease Train and he just chuckled.

"Umuwi kana. Be safe, bye." I ended the call as I heard a knock on my door.
