Until the Flowers Bloom | Book #1

Chapter 22

Tinext ko si Zaiden kung puwede kaming magkita mamaya after ng work ko, sadly busy daw siya. I understand naman since siya na yung naghahandle ng company ng dad niya. Yun nga lang, baka aabot sa point na wala na siyang time kasi palagi na lang siya busy. Wag naman sana.

"May lakad kaba Naomi?" tanong ni Irene. "Ah, wala naman bakit?" sabi ko.

"Yesssh! Punta ka naman sa apartment boring kase wala si Lisa dun"

"Oh sige"

"Noice!" at nag high five sila ni Rosie. Tong mga 'to.

Zaiden's POV
Today is the day. Ngayon na e he-held ang engagement party namin ni Mia.

(A/N: Weeks passed na to)

Naomi doesn't know about this yet. Sana hindi, I don't want seeing her cry because of this. Wala akong magagawa...I'm such a coward!

If my friends know this...they'll fvcking kill me. I'm so fvcked up right now. Ba't ba ganito ang nangyayari. Well I can't avoid na pag sabihan sila since their also shareholders of this company, and their my friends. "Btw I already sent an invitation to your friends. I'm looking forward to our engagement party" sabi niya at parang nag pa cute pa. Mas cute kaya si Naomi keysa sayo..tch!

[7:00 p.m]

May mga tao ng dumarating. I swear papatayin talaga ako ng nga kaibigan ko. I mean Timothy knows this and he understoods pero what about others.

Nakita ko na sila na dumating na dito. Nilapitan nila ako and Tim too. "Buti na lang di makapunta si Devin dito...kung hindi nasa kabaong kana ngayon" sabi ni Ronan at tinignan akong masama.

"Bro, I didn't know you'd do this to her" sabi ni Cristian at tinignan lang ako ni Timothy.

"Guys look...it's an arranged marriage, wala akong magagawa! My dad before he died...I didn't knew na he was planning this!-"

"Stop being a fvcking coward Zaiden! Kung mahal mo talaga si Naomi you should've done something by now!" sabi ni Cristian.

"I did! Pero-"

"But what? Kasi nga duwag ka! This is just stupid-"

"May taning na ang buhay ko!" at nagulat silang lahat. Tears were falling from my eyes.

"A-ano sabi m-mo?" hindi makapaniwalang reaksyon ni Ronan.

"He has brain tumour, because of the impact nung na aksidente siya. A-ang sabi ng d-doktor..." di makapagtuloy si Timothy sa iyak. He's clenching his fist.

"S-say i-it"

"They're not sure if madadala ito sa s-surgery. Kasi nga lumalala na. He can undergo treatment but it won't assure that it'll be cured"

Makikita mo ang reaksyon sa kanilang mukha. Malungkot na galit. I went to the doctor last time para mag CT scan. And ayun ang sabi nila. I also told Tim about this and to not tell anyone tungkol dito...especially Naomi.

"B-bro-"

"Stop crying" I inhaled and exhaled.

"It doesn't matter, just please don't tell it to Naomi-"

"We got you bro, just...just live your life to the fullest" sabi ni Brayden at yinakap ako.

It was time for the party. People greeted us congratulations and gave us gifts. Yung mga shareholders and staffs sa kompanya, hindi pa nila alam ang tungkol sa kondisyon ko. I also wrote a will at kung kanino ibibigay ang kompanya just in case. But I'm not giving up yet! I'll try to live!
