Chapter 20: Business partner
Katrina's POV.
"Hey! Katrina?" I slowly opened my eyes and realized I am at the clinic, naka tulog pala ako?
"Hey?" Napa-tingin ako kay lucas nang mag salita ulit siya, anong ginagawa niya dito?
Nasaan si Quenji? Argh, bakit ko ba siya hinahanap? Pero siya ang nagdala saakin dito.
"Quira and Pat was called at the principal office, about what happened, almost kakaalis lang nila, I went here as soon as I heard what happened" He explained, I just nodded and gave him a small smile.
"How are you?" He worriedly asked.
"I'm okay, what time is it?"
"It's six in the early evening" he responded, nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi niya, 6pm na nga? Ilang oras ba ako naka-tulog?
"The nurse said, as soon as you woke up, makaka uwi kana, hatid na kita" he offered.
"No it's okay, I can drive, I brought my car with me" I said at sinubukan umupo, inalalayan naman niya ako agad.
I laughed silently, as if naman sobrang lala ng nangyari saakin kung maka-alalay siya, na untog lang naman ako.
"Quira took your key, she will be driving it to your house" I frowned from what he said.
"She doesn't even know how to drive! And she has no license!" Singhal ko, I was about to go up when my phone rings.
*Bem is calling;
"Where on the hell are you?" I answered.
"You're awake na bem! Omg thank the nurses, anyway, I brought your car with me na, currently driving on the way to Pat condo, say hi pat-"
"Hey katrina! I'm glad okay ka na" Pat said in the other line, napasapo nalang ako ng noo.
"Don't worry, I know how to drive naman noh! Your car is safe with me, be safe on your way too, Ingat kayo ni papi lucas, love lots mwuaps!"
*End call.
I received a text from her a minute after she ended the call.
From Bem;
This is your chance para buhayin
ang pusong namatay!
FIGHTING MY BESTIE!

I sighed heavily after I read what she said, I can't with my friends, hays.
"Are you okay?" Lucas worriedly asked, I look at him and gave him a small smile.
"Yes, let's go" Tumayo ako at kinuha ang gamit ko tsaka lumabas ng clinic, sumunod naman ito.
"Sino pala nag sabi sayo na nasa clinic ako?" I asked curiously while we're walking at the field on the way to the parking lot.
"Quira messaged me" He responded, napakunot naman ako agad.
"She knows your number?" I'm frowning while asking him.
"She said, she asked my friend for it aha, and then when I entered the clinic she immediately gave y-your number, so we could keep in touch daw" he smiled and glance at me.
"Ow, I'm sorry about that, hindi ko din alam bakit invested sila saatin." I lied, I know my friends wants me to be with him.
"It's okay, gusto ko rin" He said. Napahinto ako sa paglalakad at gulat na napatingin sakaniya, huminto din siya at sinabayan ang tingin ko.
"Lucas, pre!" Iniwas ko ang tingin ko nang may lumapit saamin, napailing nalang ako nang mapagtanto na iilan yon sa mga kaibigan ni Quenji, including him.
"Nice game kanina! Grabe lakas mo talaga" V smiled at him at gulat nang makita ako.
I almost forgot, varsity nga pala si V ng soccer, even Justine and Jay, and Lucas is their Captain.
"Uy K-katrina, hello" V gave me a short smile, the rest greeted me too while slightly glancing at Quenji. I just responded with a small smile too.
"Wala yon! See you next pract mga pre, mauna na ako, ihahatid ko pa si Katrina" Nagpaalam na si Lucas at tuluyan na kaming nakarating sa parking lot.
"Okay ka lang?" Lucas asked when we reached his car.
"Bakit naman hindi?" I gave him an assurance smile.
"Wala naman, tumahimik ka lang lalo, n-nung makita mo sila"
"Ano kaba! E ano naman" Natatawa kong sambit sakaniya.
"H-he's your ex right? I know" Nawala ang ngiti ko sa sinabi niya, pumait din ang reaksyon niya, ngunit naguguluhan ako kung paano niya iyon nalaman.
"T-tara na?" I smiled at him and went inside his car, trying to avoid the conversation, good thing hindi na niya ipinilit.
Tahimik lang kami buong byahe after kong sabihin sakaniya ang address ko.
Hindi ko alam ang mararamdaman, kung tama ba na bumalik pa ako dito, knowing na makikita at makikita ko siya, siguro masasabi kong move on na ako, pero hindi ako makakalimot.
But...am I really moved on?
Bakit naiinis ako pag nakikita ko silang mag kasama? Why did my heart beat faster when he carried me out the scene earlier?
Bakit ang lakas pa rin ng epekto niya saakin?
Quenji's POV.
"Are they together?" Bungad na tanong ni Jay saktong pag alis nung dalawa.
Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit may kirot akong naramdaman pag nakikita silang mag kasama, sa classroom, sa lunch, at umuwi.
"Baka nagkaka-mabutihan na, diba kanina yung eksena nila sa classroom, sabay kumain ng lunch, sabay pa umuwi" Justine responded.
"Kaya pala mukhang inspired kanina si Lucas sa laro, ang ganado niya, HAHAHA-" V stop laughing when all of us were looking at him seriously, napailing nalang ako bago sila tinalikuran.
"Quenji, saan ka pupunta? Uuwi kana? Hintayin mo kami" rinig ko ang pag tawag nila saakin ngunit nagd-diretso lang ako sa pag lakad.
Lucas's POV.
"Hey mom" sumalubong agad si mommy pagkapasok ko ng bahay.
"Hey love! How's school anak?" She greeted me with a hug.
"Good mom, anyway, do you remember the girl I mentioned to you before?"
"Oh yes, how can I forgot aha, you followed her from overseas" She respond, which made me smile remembering I am with her few minutes ago.
"I just drop her to her house before I went home" I said while smiling which made her shocked.
"Really? Oh my God anak! You're not torpe anymore?"
"Mom!" Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin na ikinatawa naman niya.
"Just kidding! But for real anak? Is things getting better with her?" She asked.
"I hope so"
Katrina's POV.
Today is Saturday, I'm now getting ready to meet with uncle's business partners.
Quira called me just now that she will bring my car back later afternoon, yes, inuwi niya ang kotse ko at hindi pa ibinabalik simula kahapon without her parents knowing she drove a car without license.
I sighed heavily knowing I have no car to use.
No choice but to take public transportation, no drivers were available in this house right now too.
I'm now all set, late na ako, kaya nag madali na akong bumaba, nag book nalang ako ng uber.
I'm wearing a White Halter Satin dress, above the knee paired with Silver Crystal 5-inches heels, and tie my hair in lower ponytail.
Minutes later, I already arrived at the restaurant, I fixed my self for a bit before I went inside, inilibot ko ang paningin ko sa loob para hanapin kung nasaan si tito, hindi nga ko nag kamali, late na ko, nilapitan ko agad ang pwesto niya, may kasama siyang dalawang lalake na nakatalikod sa direksyon ko.
"I'm here" I greeted tito as soon as I saw him.
"Katrina, you're here" he greeted me back and gave me a small hug, I smiled at him before I turned my gaze to his partners.
"Good afternoon-" I stopped from talking when I realized who was the other guy with him.
