"Chloe, we have a mission." I just nodded as I could see him in front of my face while holding the phone.
"I already know." Because the Boss sent a code to me. I already knew from the start.
"Even if you like it or not, you need to save her." Kinagat ko ang labi ko nang sabihin nya iyon. "I'm begging you."
I try to stop my tears from falling before the call ended.
My once best friend and loving man also slowly vanishing from my sight. The laughter, pouting, tears of falling and his clingy. I will miss it. Also our memories of years during college.
Hindi ko din makakalimutan ang pagpapanggap namin na agad kong tinanggap dahil akala ko ay gusto nya ako at idinadaan lang nya sa ganoon. Little did I not know, he has a crush since college.. and that's not me.
"Broken?" Nagulat ako ng may sumulpot ng harap ko. Si Lucas.
I laughed faked. "Always."
Sino ang hindi? Since I already knew who's the girl he love. Hindi na ako palagi mapakali at gustong gumawa nang hindi maganda para masira siya. But I am not born to be an evil. Even if it is hard for me to accept his love for her. I am still willingto finished this and focus to Lucas and to my missions.
"I wanted to talk to her before their marriage." Tumayo na ako at nagsimulang magpaalam sa kanya.
"Are you invited?" Tanong nya kaya nilingon ko sya.
"I am."
"I am too, can i fetch you?" Nagulat ako sa biglaang tanong nya.
I blink twice. "Sure." Dali dali akong umalis ng makaramdam ako ng init sa pisngi ko at kasabay nang pagbilis ng tibok ng puso ko. What was that?
Hindi ko na nagawang hintayin ang sasabihin nya. I am sure that her face was full of smile because of my agreement. Should I just gave him hope?
I smiled a little before step in the elevator. The way he smiles, talks and avoid my eyes, I will his shyness when I'm infront of him or should I say na naiilang sya? Ramdam ko din ang sensiridad nya lalo na nang una ko syang makilala.
I grinned unconsciously while waiting for the girl. Even though I was not yet ready to talk to her, I don't have another choice but have a small communication in her and gave her what France favorite to do and what he eats.
Naramdaman ko ang kaunting sakit sa puso ko, iniisip ko pa lang ang mga sasabihin ko ay parang maiiyak na ako. I think it is me, who he likes. But I wrong.
I blink once and she was already on front of me, smiling and even introduced herself to me. "Elisha Aianna Reza."
Her second name was similar to my first name. I stared at his beautiful face before accepting her hands. "Chloe."
Hindi na ako nagpatagal pa at inopen ko na agad ang topic mula sa kanilang dalawa. "Advance Congratulations." Unang nasabi ko at napangiti naman sya doon. I can feel her realistic smile. Hindi ko aakalain na mabait ang bagong mamahalin habang buhay ni France.
"Alam ko na alam mo kung anong meron kami sa simula pa lang. But I told you, France like a clingy girl because he was always clingy to me. He always love to cook in the morning, lunch and also a dinner. He likes cookies and fresh milks. He has this attitude na minsan ay nag iisip bata. He likes surprises. His fav ice cream flavor was chocolates."
Kung ano ano na lang ang sinabi ko matapos noon at ramdam ko na nakikinig talaga sya sa akin. Mula sa mga paborito nya ay umabot ako sa mga hobbies nya. His clothes, brand of car and etc.
"Please promise me not to leave him. You're soon to be a Mrs Molliñez. I already gave a support not to you but to my best friend too. I may not sure to attend your wedding but I am sincerely happy. Promise me to make him happy and understand his attitude always. Promise me if he cry, you will take away his tears. Promise me if he's hungry, you will cook for me and even if he's sick, you'll be a wife/nurse or doctor to him. Love him endlessly and have always find a solution if you two have a problem. May you two have a long journey to do and I am the first people will happy. Soon to be Mrs Molliñez. Thanks for taking care of my best friend and always there by his side thru ups and downs. Promise me to love him forever even there's no forever in this world. The number one happiness is me, take that in your mind and trust him always."
Wala masyadong nasabi si Elisha dahil naiyak ito sa lahat ng sinabi ko. I wanted to take it back my words because I envy her. It should be me to do those things what I said. She's always thank for me and she's say that I am lucky to have him.
It is true... but as a friend. Not a woman in his eyes.
"Don't waste your tears honey, sige ka mababawasan ang ganda mo." Pagbibiro ko na ikinatawa naming dalawa.
Hindi ko akalain na masasabi ko iyon sa harapan nya na walang tumutulong luha sa mata ko. Sa halip ay nagkasundo kami ng ganoong kadali at panay naman sya kwento kay France at kung gaano kalambing ito sa kanya.
I smiled by myself while hearing those words. Dati, ako lang yung nilalambing nya. Ngayon, iba na.
I have a dinner with her in KFC. We talked about a lot of things and careers. We always laughed when he said something funny to france. I stared at her smiling faces and I could tell that she's happy.
She's so lucky to have him.
I suddenly remember that I need to protect her tomorrow and I'll do everything just to keep her alive from the enemies. We bid a goodbye after and 'see you tomorrow' before we separately.
"Wish me a luck." I heavily said.
