I'm not saying she's lying to me pero what? I thought she was with Devon? isip ni Chase
He tried calling her again.
Fck! Still no answer and it's his 11th call, where the hell is she?
"Bro you better calm down, maybe she had an errand to run or something," ani Mark
"To hell with that! Wala akong pake I just want her to answer my damned calls!" tinapon ni Chase ang cellphone niya dulot ng pagkainis.
"Bud hindi mo siya pagmamayari she may be your girlfriend but bro, she is not your property she can do whatever she wants and pleases let her be," ani Mark ulit. Chase slowly looked at him with anger visible in his eyes.
"Don't fvcking tell me what to do Buena!" he roared.
Bago pa makasagot si Mark ay pinigilan na siya ni Bolt. "Wag mo nang patulan Mark," ani Bolt.
Tumango naman si Mark tsaka umakyat.
I don't care anymore, where the hell is she??
"Alam ko na, kumalma ka nalang at kami na ang hahanap sakanya, samahan mo ako Collin," hila ni Yam kay Collin
Collin didn't have any choice but to drive,
He knows what's up but he doesn't want to accuse his friend and end up being false that may grow into a problem.
"Bro, wait, slow down," nagulat naman si Collin kaya pinahina niya agad ang pagtakbo.
"Sht, dude, s-si Ara at Hart ba yan?" gulat na tanong ni Yam.
He saw Hart's love interest even just a few centimeters of her face but it definitely wasn't Ara, was it all a set up? Nakakagago.
"Tangna, bro, we need to contact Ch—"
"No," pigil ni Collin kay Yam.
"Can't you see the consequences? If we tell them na nakita natin si Hart and Ara together, it will grow into a fight, at baka madamay pa tayo," he explains.
"Collin, wala nang oras para dyan? You're really thinking about that? We need-"
"You just think you need to but you don't, lets keep this to ourselves first, maybe we are thinking wrong. Let time pass by first, and see what happens," dahil sa sinabi ni Collin napigilan at sandali napaisip si Yam na pagkatapos ay sumangayon na rin sa sinabi ng binata.
Hart is going to receive one hell of a beating when we meet, Collin thinks, how dare his bestfriend do such thing? The feeling of betrayal is ascending. It can drive people mad to be honest.
Nakabalik na ang dalawa sa tambayan, binglang bumungad sakanila ang nagaalalang si Chase.
"So??? Nakita niyo ba???" tanong sakanila.
Yam was obviously nervous pero si Collin na ang sumagot.
"Unfortunately, no," he said quickly.
Napabulong ng ilang mura si Chase.
"Chase??" that familiar voice.
"Ara!" sigaw ni Chase tsaka nagmadaling puntahan si Ara na nasa tapat ng pintuan.
"Where have you been?" tugon nito saka niyakap si Ara.
"I-I had to run some errands," she said.
And of course, he believed it. Because he trusts her.
"Why weren't your responding to my calls though?" he asked.
"Kasalanan ko yon sorry, naka silent kasi yung phone ko," ani Ara.
"It's fine, but don't do it again, sabihan mo ako kung may pupuntahan ka please,"
As much as how it is, he is indeed a lovesick fool pagdating kay Ara. Hell, he can hear millions of reasons but he'll still believe Ara. He's indeed crazy for this girl.
"So, mga bros, are your clothes ready for the wedding?", pagiibang topic ni Ten.
Halos lahat naman nagagree ngunit napatingin sila nung bumukas ang pinto at si Hart ang niluwal nito.
"At nagpakita rin ang gago," ani Gil.
"Where have you been, dude?" tanong ni Bolt.
"May inasikaso lang, sorry," aniya.
"Pinahanap ka namin kila Collin at Yam, buti naman nagpakita ka na," ani Mark.
Bigla namang nagiwas ng tingin ang dalawa,
——
"I found out something interesting," she said.
"Ano naman yon?" he asked na parang walang gana.
"Aalis pala sila, so that means we have more time,"
"A-alis sila..? Where?" he asked na tila ba bumalik sa buhay.
"Oh boy, you still haven't change? Come on, it's been how many years," she laughs.
"But look who's going to these extents just to get a man who doesn't even want her anymore," pagbalik nito sakanya.
"Shut up," she said in irritation.

*weeks later*
"So bros, plano niyo now that it's Christmas break??" tanong ni Gil.
"Usual, with my parents," ani Hermes.
"Alalay kami ni ate in preparation for her wedding," ani Ten at tumango naman si Five.
"I'll go to Japan with dad for his business," ani Mark.
"Alagaan ko si lola sa probinsya!" masayang banggit ni Yam.
"I'll be with Celine managing the cafe since we're planning to establish another branch," ani Collin.
"I'm staying home I guess, mom and dad are always busy naman," sabi ni Bolt.
Tumingin naman sila lahat kay Hart ang tanging di nagsasalita.
Nagkibit balikat naman ang ito.
He's being weird again, they thought.
Dumating naman si Chase.
"Ikaw bro, saan ka pupunta?"
"I'll be in Spain we'll celebrate Christmas there, with my family, and Ara," he said at may kani-kaniyang reaksyon naman sila lahat.
"We'll be leaving tomorrow, actually," dagdag nito.
