His Fake Fiancee (Completed)

KABANATA 13

XIII.

I was stunned when I saw him.

"Syd, ayos ka lang?" Rinig kong pagkausap sa'kin ni Rys pero ang atensyon ko ay na kay Sir Heath.

He's wearing black polo shirt with opened two button that revealing his chest slightly. He's also holding a glass with liquor. His eyebrows shot as he look and sipped for his alcohol.

"Powder room tayo, Rys," aya ko.

Hinawakan ko na sa kamay si Nerys at dumiretso sa powder room at doon tumulala.

"Ayos ka lang?"

"Y-yeah," medyo hindi rin ako sigurado sa sagot ko at mukhang hindi rin naman satisfied itong pinsan ko kaya tumingin ako sa kaniya. "No. Actually, no. He's out there!"

"And?"

"And it makes me nervous, Rys! Alam mo naman kung bakit," Sumandal ako. Ngayon pa yata ako masusuka dahil sa kaba.

"Akala ko ba, No feelings attach lang?"

"Hindi naman counted ang kaba sa feelings."

"Counted kaya 'yun. Bigla ka ngang napatitig sa kaniya nung nakita mo siya, e. Tapos ba't tayo pumunta dito after mo siyang makita?"

"K-kasi I need to retouch?" I tried to convince her and smile sa mirror na malaki. "Hindi ka pa ba hinahanap ng jowa mo? Mabuti nga ay pinayagan ka pala."

"Hindi naman mahigpit si Dan sa'kin. Sabi pa nga niya ay mag-enjoy daw ako ngayon na walang halong kaba na papagalitan pag-uwi," sabi ni Rys. Nag-retouch na rin siya.

"I'm really happy that you found your partner-"

"'Wag mong idugtong 'yang sana all mo dahil nasa labas naman 'yung long time crush mo," asar niya bigla sa'kin. Nagtawanan tuloy kami.

"Hanggang crush lang 'to. Lilipas din," preskong sabi ko at tumingin sa sariling reflection sa salamin.

Lilipas din, huh?

Scam.

"Nako, Syd. H'wag nga ako. Kilala na kita mula ulo hanggang talampakan, 'yang ganyan mo panigurado na 'kong hindi na 'yan ang real status ng feelings mo. Tactics mo na 'yang deny deny."

I suddenly smile and look to her reflection.

This girl really know the 95% of me and I couldn't imagine my life without Nerys. My life would be boring if that's the case. Mabuti na lang, we both lived to be a best of cousins.

After in powder room, nag-decide na kaming lumabas at bumalik sa party. Hinanap din namin si Gab dahil baka kung ano-ano na ang nangyayari sa kaniya. Sobrang hyper pa naman nun kapag nakainom na.

I was looking for Gab but I found Sir Heath's intensely eyes that looking into my soul.

Grabe 'yung titig, parang tunaw kana maya maya.

I managed to ignore him for a couple of minutes and still look for Gab. I called his phone but he's not answering. The drunk Gab I know was wreckless, he'll do what he wants so we really need to find him.

"Syd, ayaw pa rin ba sumagot?"

"Ayaw, e," muli kong dinial ang number niya.

Gosh naman Gab. Sana naman nagsasabi ka kung nasan ka. Because we can't contact him, Nerys and I decided to go back where we are before kami magpunta sa powder room.

Ilang minuto pa kaming naghanap sa kaniya.

Medyo madilim ang paligid kaya nahirapan kami hanapin siya. Everyone is getting drunk as in! They are really hyped up already kasi it's almost past midnight, I guess.
