GLAIZA
I was literally upset to Rhian, that's why I opt to go to the minibar and drag my siblings to have a drink with me.
I was hurt and frustrated. Damn! How can she be so insensitive all my life I've been wanting her for Pete's sake!.
My buddies' outrage at me. Well my buddies' always been my mother / guardian figure though.
We've talked about Patricia and I want to warn Kendall. So me and my siblings decided to go to Kendalls and talk about her assistant. Good thing they're not staying in the same house. But it's creeping me out knowing that Pat is not yet fully healed and her mental problem maybe become worst.
I'm lying next to Rhian and I feel a bit guilty cause her hands are sore. She's sleeping soundly now. I can't sleep, I still remember what happened between me and Kendall awhile ago.
------------------
Few hours ago
" Tol you sure about this?"-Batchi ask me.
" Yeah we need to warn Ken"-sagot ko.
" What if she won't believe you?"-Mike.
" I have a proof"-kumpiyansa kong sabi.
Walang pagmamadaling pumunta kami sa tinutuluyan ni Kendall. I knock at her doorstep and she's surprise it was me whose knocking.
" Hey G. Bet you can't resist me don't ya?"-maluwag ang ngiti niya at yumakap sakin.
" K, can we talk?"-seryoso kong sabi.
" Sure! why so serious? Come on in. What do you want to have? Coffee wine or me?"-akit nito na siyang nagpaubo sa mga kasama ko.
" Mga tol mauna na kayong umuwe mamaya mahaba habang usapan 'to"-baling ko kay Mike at Batchi.
"Bro usap lang ha. Yung bata mo dun baka magkatoyo na naman.Dito lang kami sa sala"-Mike.
" Just feel at home guys"-sabi ni Kendall.
" Let's go to my room"-aniya at pinagbigyan ko na lang.
" So what is it that you wanna talk about? Did you change you're mind having me instead of your girlfriend?"-she ask hopingly.
" No K, I love her and I came here to ask about your personal assistant Patricia. How long have you known her?"-deretso ko ng tanong.
Sumama bigla ang mukha niya sa mga sinabi ko.
" So are you into my assistant instead of me!?"-galit niyang sabi.
" That's not what I meant K. Did you background check her? How well do you know her?"-
" Well, she's my PA for months now and all I know is she's reliable and trustworthy cause since day one she take cares everything for me."-sagot nito.
" How on earth didn't you check on her before you hire her K?"-
" Hey what's with you? you're not the judgemental kind of person. Do you know her?"-iritang sabi nito.
" Yeah I know her"
" Bullshit G. Don't tell me you
have had sex with her or did you two hooked up?"-matalim na tingin niya.
"That bitch!"-muling sambit niya.
" I want you to see something K."-linabas ko ang files na pinadala sakin ni Jasmine about the case of Patricia.
"What's this?"-taka niya.
" Some informations about Patricia."-kalma kong sabi.
We're about to open the files when someone knock.
" Whose that?"-sigaw ni Kendall.
" It's me K. Patricia"-sagot ng nasa labas.
" Hey K. pretend that you're okay. Don't give her any hint. Just act normal. Control your temper."-paalala ko sakanya.
Tumango lang siya at pinagbuksan si Patricia ng pinto.
" K, what's Batchi and Mike doing here?"-tanong ni Patricia na kinagulat ni Kendall.
" Oh hi Glaiza you're here! Do you still remember me?"-malumay nitong tanong pero nakaramdam ako ng kilabot sa paraan ng pagtitig niya sakin.
" Oh we're just talking about something. Why are you here anyway?"-sita ni Kendall dito.
" so you two got back together? you're locking yourselves here alone!"-may panganib sa boses na sabi nito pero her face is normal.
" we're just starting to talk when you barge in. Can we talk tomorrow P. Glaiza here has something to show me"-taboy nito kay Patricia.
" Sure. Bye Glaiza!"-paalam nito na biglang tumalim ang tingin samin.
Sinarado na ni Kendall ang pinto at hinaplos ang mga braso nito.
" I never see her like that before"-sabi niya.
" I'll just check Batchi outside"-sabi ko sakanya at lumabas.
Sinigurado kong wala na sa paligid si Patricia.
" Tol umalis na ba siya?"-tanong ko kina Mike na halata ang pagkabalisa sa mga mukha.
" Yeah, pero I smell danger is coming your way G."-babala ni Mike.
" Hanggang ngayun kinikilabutan pa din ako tol. Nakangiti siyang nagpaalam pero iba ang sinasabi ng mga mata niya para siyang papatay ng tao"-alalang sabi ni Batchi.
" Can you go back sa tinutuluyan natin and check the girls please. I can handle this."-sabi ko sakanila.
" Yeah yan din sana sasabihin ko."-Mike.
" Uwe ka agad tol. And please tapusin mo na kung meron kang dapat tapusin kay Kendall at Gigi."-usal ni Batchi .
" Yeah hindi ako uuwe hanggat diko naaayus itong samin ni K."-aniko.
Hinatid ko na sila sa labas pero naramdaman kong may nakatingin sakin lumingon lingon ako sa paligid pero wala namang tao. I just shrugged it off at sinara ang pinto at dumiretso sa room ni Kendall.
" Why am I feeling this way? There's something off about her!"- panic niyang salubong sakin..
" Hey hey calm down okay. I'm here. I'll call some security later to look after you. Now let's talk."-pinaupo ko siya sa kama and opened my files in my phone.
Binigay ko sakanya at pinabasa ang lahat ng 'yun.
Kita ko ang gulat at takot sakanyang mukha ng mabasa lahat ang nilalaman niyon.
" Is is this for r-real?"-she ask me hoping na hindi totoo lahat ng nabasa niya tungkol sa PA niya.
" I'm afraid it's true. So now that you know about her history. Pretend that you don't know anything. Can you?"-pakiusap ko sakanya.
" Oh God. I can't believe this. She's kind and generous and she supports me when it comes to you."-she exclaimed.
" Yeah she does, but I think she's after me K. So I want you to be careful when she's around you."-babala ko sakanya.
" I'm gonna freak out! Can you stay here please"- she pleads.
" I'll stay here for awhile and one thing more I want to talk is about you and me"-seryoso kong sabi sakanya.
" No! you're not gonna tell me to stay away and forget about you!"-singhal niya.
" Exactly K."
" Can you give me a chance please?"
" You have your chance before but you wasted it"
" W-what do you mean? you literally want me to be your girlfriend before?"
" Yes , but now, not anymore. I'm happy with Rhian now."
" I will not stop until I put a goddamn fight!"
" K please let go!"
" Glaiza but what about us?!"
"K there was never an us! and I was never yours to begin with!"-sigaw ko sakanya na nakapagpatulala sakanya.
" Do you really love her?"-iyak na tanong niya.
" So much that I will give my life for her in a heartbeat"-titig kong sagot sakanya.
Lumuhod ako sa harap niya at hinawakan ang mga kamay niya.
" I will always treasure the memories that we had might it be good or bad, K."
" Stand up G. I don't want to see you like this begging infront of me just to be with other woman. I'm pathetic am I?"
" You're not K. You just happened to like someone that love somebody else. We can still be friends."
" G. Am I not worth to be loved?"
"K don't ever say that. I know there will be someone out there who'll love you. I'm sorry K, but you can't have me just the way you want to."
" I'm more worried about what Patricia will do. K, don't be with her alone okay?"-patuloy ko.
" Is this a goodbye?"-umiiyak niyang tanong.
" You silly! Say goodbye to your feelings for me and say hello to our friendship"-punas ko sa mga luha niya.
" Give others a chance to love you K. I'm sorry if I'm hurting you this way but there's no other way I can think to knock some sense on your head. Are you getting me?"
Yumakap siya sakin ng mahigpit and lasted for a few minutes.
" She's so lucky to have you G. I'm so jealous right now. Can I kiss you for one last time?"-hiling niya.
Hinawakan ko ang mukha niya at ako na ang kusang humalik sakanya.
" I will always be here for you as your friend K."-pangako ko sakanya.
Tumango siya at napapitlag kaming dalawa ng may tumawag mula sa labas.
" Maybe it's your security. Don't go outside alone Ken. If something happen just call me. Thank you and Goodnight"-hinalikan ko siya sa noo at tuluyan na akong umalis.
Nagbigay muna ako ng instructions sa mga magbabantay kay Kendall bago ako umuwe.
Akala ko mahihirapan akong pakawalan ni Kendall but I'm happy she finally let go. She's a strong willed woman stubborn, hard headed but I know she has a soft and kind heart. What happen to us before is just a mistake but I never regret it at all.
Tiningnan ko ang natutulog na anghel sa tabi ko. I touch her nose with my index finger. Hinapit ko siya palapit sakin at yinakap ng mahigpit.

RHIAN
Naalimpungatan ako ng tumunog ang phone ko. I check the time, it's 4 am. I wonder kung sino ang magmemessage sakin ng ganito kaaga. I open the message and I was shock it was a picture of Glaiza and Kendall kissing and they are in her room. Hindi ko alam kung sino ang nagsend ng pictures. I don't know how to feel. Tinitigan ko ang katabi ko na mahigpit na nakayakap sakin.
" Ako lang naman diba?"-bulong tanong ko sakanya kahit alam kong hindi niya maririnig.
" Wala ng iba Baby"-sagot niya na kinagulat ko.
" You're awake"-panigurado ko.
" Yeah naramdaman kong gumalaw ka kaya nagising ako. Why'd you ask that question?"-antok niyang tanong.
" Nothing"-kaila ko.
" Naangkin mo na ako at lahat duda ka pa rin?"-asar niya.
I rolled my eyes and pinched her cheeks.
"Awwww Rhian ang sakit!"-daing niya.
" Ikaw ang unang nakakuha sakin tapos ganyan sasabihin mo! Dami dami mo na ngang nakaanuhan!"-gigil kong sabi.
" Ikaw na ang huli Baby."-alo niya.
" Bakit may balak ka pa bang magdagdag?"-tanong ko.
" Pag may pagkakataon!"-ngisi niya sakin ng nakakaloko.
Hinampas ko siya ng malakas at kumawala sakanya.
" Why you're so mean to me?!"-naiiyak ko ng sabi.
Binabalewala ko na nga yung nakita kong pictures tapos mang aasar pa siya.
" You see what you're doing to me Baby?"-turo niya sa ibabang parte ng katawan niya.
Ang walang hiya tinatayuan na naman. Napalunok ako dahil nag iba ang pakiramdam ko parang uminit ang paligid at sumabay pa ang katawan ko.
" Magsarili ka!"-singhal ko sakanya pilit winawala ang init sa katawan ko.
" Okay"- sabi niya.
Bumangon siya sa higaan at palabas ng kwarto.
" San ka pupunta!"-leshe talagang ginagalit ako eh.
" Sa labas ayokong magsarili hahanap na lang ako ng...."-binato ko siya ng figurine.
"Napakalandi mo talaga kahit kelan na panda ka! naku naku pinagsawaan mo na ako at lahat walangya ka!"-binato ko siya ng vase.
" Yoyon pag natamaan ako niyan ha masakit yan. Tama na ano ba!"-awat niya sakin.
" Kay Kendall ka siguro pupunta para makipag anuhan noh! kaya malakas ang loob mo na lumabas dahil alam mong makikipag anuhan yun sa'yo!"-sigaw ko sakanya.
" Pakapikon mo eh. Kakasabi ko lang ikaw na ang huli pambihira ka oo"--kamot kilay niya.
" Sabi mo magdadagdag ka pa!"-
" Hindi na nga eh!"
" Bakit ka sumisigaw!"
" Rhian ikaw nauna nambabato ka pa!"-binato ko ulit siya.
" Isang tawag mo pa sa pangalan ko puputulin ko na talaga yan!"-gigil kong sabi
" Baby naman eh. Lika na gawa tayong Baby."-lapit niya sakin.
Sinandal niya ako sa pader at tinitigan.
" You're grumpy over something , I know"-she said.
Sinunggaban ko na siya ng halik at siya naman ang sinandal ko sa pader.
" I'm all yours Baby"-bulong niya.
" Anong ginawa niyo ni Kendall?"-tanong ko.
Binuhat niya ako at pinaupo sa kandungan niya.
" So kaya ka nagkakaganyan dahil dun?"-tanong niya
" Kayo na ba?"
" The hell Baby! eh kung nung hindi pa tayo hindi naging kami ngayun pa na nandito ka na!"
" Where did that came from? Okay we talk and we..."
" And you kissed!"-putol ko sa sinasabi niya.
I fished out my phone at pinakita ko sakanya ang kuha nilang naghahalikan.
" Wow ang ganda ng kuha ah! What the!! sinong nagsend sa'yo nito!"-gigil na tanong niya.
" I don't know. Unknown number. Maybe that person is just concern about me! Mukhang sarap na sarap ka pa nakapikit ka pa oh!"-sarcastic kong sabi sakanya.
" I bet not. We kissed yes. I admit. But it's a goodbye kiss Baby. We just had our closure and decided to remain friends"-paliwanag niya.
" What kind of friends? Friends with benefit is that it?!"-galit kong sabi sakanya.
" Sarap tapyasin ng nguso mong panda ka!"-hampas ko sakanya.
Bigla siyang tumawa ng malakas.
Sinuntok ko siya sa dibdib at kinagat ang balikat niya.
" Awwww Baby Yoyon. Magmamarka yan eh!"-halos paiyak niyang sabi.
" Do you think this is funny!!? Am I a laughing stock to you huh!!"-naiiyak na ako. Leshe napakahabulin eh.!
" I just remember my girl 15 years ago"-she said still laughing.
" Whose that girl! Leshe kang panda ka, ako ang kasa kasama mo pa nun tapos tapos...."-napaiyak na ako.
" Exactly sino pa ba ang babae ko noon. Di ba ikaw? You literally bite me when you see me talking with Max that's why I'm laughing cause I remember that time."-yakap niya sakin.
Namumula ang mukha cause I was just 8 pero kung ituring ko noon si Glaiza is parang boyfriend ko. Kaya nung nalaman kong umalis sila it literally broke my heart into pieces.
Tumitig siya sakin at nakakalokong ngumiti.
" Do you want me to punish you again huh my sweet little wench!"-kindat niya.
Umiling ako at pinakita ang wrist ko sakanya.
" Sorry Baby"
"Time to cuddle now Yoyon. Wala ka pang maayus na tulog madaling araw pa lang."
I jump on top of her and sniff her. It's my habbit now though. I love her smell.
She wrapped her arms around me and rub my back until I fall asleep.
