Sky's POV
I went home feeling so exhausted. I saw my parents in the living room. I sat at the couch and let out a deep sigh.
"What's wrong, Sky?" Dad asked with confusion.
Napailing ako habang hawak-hawak ang noo ko. Remembering what Veia did really hurts my head! "Dad, si Veia..." napakunot ang noo ko, "...I really don't like the ways she speaks, she stares at me, her looks, her smiles, everything about her now...I hate it," dugtong ko pa. Lumapit sa'kin si Mommy at dahan-dahang hinaplos ang likod ko. "Mom, this time I'm certain, I lost my best friend," at sobrang nasasaktan ako sa katotohanang 'yan.
"She went to the wrong path, anak," aniya. Mom's right at Hindi ko alam kung makakabalik pa ba siya. "Pero, sana ang pagbabalik niya ay hindi makakasira sa kung ano kayo ngayon ni Hillary," her voice sounded so worried. She really likes Hillary at ayaw niya na may mahalin pa akong iba. Well, pati rin naman ako.
"Yes, Mom. I'll never let anyone destroy the relationship I and Hillary have. If I lost her, I'll surely get insane," I uttered, sincerely. Mahal ko talaga si Mi Stella, sobra! At, kung ano man 'yong pinaplano ni Veia, hindi siya magtatagumpay.
After our conversation ended, I went upstairs and lay in bed. I get my phone and dialed Mi Stella's number. After a second, she answered the call. "Mi Cielo," her voice sounded so tired.
"Are you okay, Mi Stella?" tanong ko. Nag-aalala talaga ako sa kaniya. If only I can stay there all night, ginawa ko na, but she wants me to go home. Kailangan ko raw makausap ang parents ko dahil baka nagulat din sila sa nangyari kanina.
"I'm still exhausted," sagot niya naman. Nakagat ko 'yong labi ko nang maalala ang nangyari kanina. Hindi ko alam kung kinakailangan niya bang malaman o hindi, pero ayoko nang naglilihim sa kaniya.
I took a deep breath before I decided to tell her about it. "Mi Stella, I have something to confess," I uttered. I really am so nervous to death, but she has the right to know it. Ayoko na baka si Veia pa ang unang makapagsabi sa kaniya tungkol do'n. "I talked with Veia earlier—"
"And she kissed you," she said what I was about to say. Nagulat talaga ako at biglang umurong 'yong dila ko! "I heard everything and I saw that sh*t she did," kapag napapamura si Hillary ay talagang galit na siya.
"Hindi na 'yon mauulit pa, Mi Stella," I made sure.
"Hindi ko rin naman hahayaan na mangyari 'yon ulit. Kasi kapag nagkataon, ipapahalik ko sa kaniya ang sahig," damn, she's indeed so serious. Hindi ko siya masisisi kung bakit nasabi niya 'yan, mali naman talaga kasi si Veia, eh. Tsk! Remembering that damn kiss really makes me feel so annoyed to hell! Sh*t!
I tried to calm myself down, then I said, "take a rest now, Mi Stella. I'll fetch you tomorrow, let's go somewhere to relax."
"Sige, Mi Cielo. Tumawag ka na lang, ha?" she replied.
"Hmm. I love you, Mi Stella," I am now smiling. Mabuti na lang talaga at kapag naiisip kong siya ang babaeng pinakamamahal ko ay nakakaramdam ako agad ng saya.
"I love you, too, Mi Cielo," after a second, the line went dead. I also placed back my phone in the bedside table and have my rest.
Hillary's POV
It's been a week that Veia's back. After we had that sh*t conversation ay wala pa naman siyang ginagawa.
"I guess she's doing revenge," Driana uttered. I'm here at Driana's Violet cafe with Driana of course, and Andrei the Boy Pandak. Clarkson isn't around. He's in Austria to spend time with her girlfriend. May business kasi siya ro'n at 'di niya maiwan-iwan kaya si Clarkson na 'yong nagpunta ro'n.
"Whatever she's doing, I'll never turn my back, I'll play with her," sagot ko naman.
"Of all the people in the world, kapatid mo pa 'yong kalaban mo," Andrei said. "Dapat 'di na lang 'yon bumalik dito," dagdag pa niya.
I tasted the cappuccino I ordered, then I said, "she's bored in the other country, so she went here to play a trashy game."
They laughed and I just shook my head, smiling. "Pero, sana magkaayos kayo. Hindi ba sabik na sabik kang makilala siya," Driana said.
I let out a sigh, "hindi ko alam kung mangyayari pa ba 'yan. Pero, pakiramdam ko kasi kasalanan ko rin kung ba't siya nagkakaganyan," sabay silang napakunot ang noo, "gusto niya na kasing ipakilala siya nina Mama kaya lang umayaw ako. Natakot ako na magkita ulit sila ni Sky, eh, kaya hindi natuloy at ipinadala na lang siya sa ibang bansa. Siguro she's so lonely kaya nakipagkaibigan sa mga b*tch, ayan na-impluwensyahan," pagkikwento ko pa. Pero, kung kasalanan ko nga, edi naniningil na nga talaga siya ngayon? But, sh*t! Sobra namang yata 'yong kabayaran ko sa nagawa kong 'yon!
"Mukhang gustong-gusto niya na talagang makipaglaro, Hillary," Andrei suddenly said, then he showed us something from his phone. It's Veia's Instagram's post at ang caption, 'My past and of course, my future. Let's play later, Darling.'
Napamura na lang ako sa kalandian ng post niya! Nasa iisang restaurant sila, pero magkaibang mesa. Ang sabi ni Sky ay may kikitain siyang client ng Mommy niya na 'di kayang ma-accommodate ni Tita dahil sa sobrang busy din nito. Kaya lang paanong andoon si Veia? Is she following him around?
Damn that B*tch!
"Pupuntahan ko lang," tumayo na ako agad.
"Do you want us to come with you?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Driana, pero agad akong umiling. I can play with her alone.
Sky's POV
"Thank you so much, Sir," I stood up and had some shake hands with him. Umalis na rin agad 'yong client ni Mommy dahil marami pa siyang gagawin. I was also about to leave, but Veia suddenly came.
What on earth is she doing here?!
"Sky, please don't leave," aniya nang tumayo ako. This time, I am already hearing her real voice. Iyong walang halong kaartehan, just purely the Veia I used to know kung hindi lang ganiyan ang suot niya. Halos lumuwa na 'yong kaluluwa niya at ang iksi pa ng dress niya. God! "I just want to say sorry," muling usal niya kaya napaupo ako ulit.
"You're now apologizing, please don't do it again," I almost begged. Sh*t! If that's the only way I can do to stop her, then I'll do it every day.
She smiled, "I'll never do it. Pero, dapat...maging tayo ulit—"
I cut her words, "what the hell are you talking about?" takang tanong ko.
"Maging tayo ulit, Sky, kahit sekreto lang at kahit kayo pa rin ni Hillary, basta maging tayo ulit, then I'll never do any stupidity again."
Sh*t! What the hell is happening with her thinking?!
"You're now doing stupidity, Veia. Leave me alone," tumayo ako at nag-umpisang maglakad.
She suddenly held my hand, kinuha ko 'yon agad. "Sky, call me desperate, but I want you back. I still love—aw!"
Hillary suddenly came and grabbed Veia's hair! Sh*t, paano nangyaring bigla na lang siyang dumating?! God, I never expected this. Ang sakit sa ulo ng nangyayari!
