-I know that you love him kaya nga ako yung nag adjust diba I even had to leave my business kasi ayoko nang gulo I am the victim hindi ikaw so don't act like you're the victim just to gain people's pity
Walter's POV
Leandro and I went to MORPHIA grabe din yung pinsan ni Alex after what happened to her and Christian I heard that she went to New York to continue her studies there magkaparehas lang kami nang grade but she's really successful already she has a lot of shops in NYC, Manila, Cagayan de Oro, and Cebu
"Leandro grabe na talaga si Andy noh" sabi ko kay Leando
"Yep I actually visited her in NYC she changed big time ang gago ni Christian sobra" sabi nya
"He is so now help me choose a perfect necklace for her" I said
"Good evening sir how may I help you?" the lady asked
"uhm we're looking for a necklace" I said
"bobo jewelry shop nga diba" Leandro said
tumawa naman yung babae
"Hey miss good evening so this guy right here is looking for a necklace for a girl he's about to court something unique and simple will do" sabi naman ni Leandro
"Damn buti nalang ikaw ang kasama ko at hindi si Christian" sabi ko
"I know right" sabi naman ni Leandro
The lady showed us beautiful necklaces nahihirapan akong pumili but then a simple and beautiful necklace caught my attention
"Leandro yan would that be okay" tinuro ko yung necklace at tinanong si Leandro
"wow that is perfect now go ahead and purchase that I'm starving" sabi nya
"Miss I'd like to purchase that" I said habang tinuro ko yung necklace
"Oh this is perfect sir nag iisa lang din yan I also heard na yung may-ari nang Morphia yung nag design nyan its an 18k White Gold Necklace with diamonds called "agápi" its a greek work for love that's 50,000 po" sabi nang babae nagulat naman ako nang nakita ko si Andy it has been two years since I saw her
"Ands you're here akala ko ba next week ka pa pupunta dito" sabi ni Leandro
"I have so many problems in my branch sa Rizal regarding the deliveries so I came here a week earlier, how have you been Walter?" she asked nagulat ako kay Andy she still had her maroon hair pumayat sya she's taller now, she looks mature already and she has an accent baka dahil dalawang taon din sya sa NYC
"I'm doing great actually" I said
"He likes someone and he bought the necklace you designed for the girl he likes" Leandro said
"chismoso as always Tomas" Andy said
"May discount na yan take that for 35,000 so less 15,000 I insist if you don't take my offer leave the necklace" sabi ni Andy
"Okay, okay bossy as always" sabi ko
"I'll take that Miss" sabi ko
"Okay sir punta nalang po kayo sa cashier" the lady said
"punta muna ako sa cashier" I said to them
They both nodded
After paying bumalik ako sa kanila
"I asked Andy to join us for dinner" Leandro said
"Si ano- Andy cut me off
"I know and I don't care I have no utang sa kanya so why would I hide wala din naman akong ginawang masama sa kanya, sa pamilya nya, at sa...fiance nya" Andy said
"Okay then its settled let's go" Leandro said
Together we went out of Morphia and went to ANDRE'S
ANDRE'S
We saw Angelica, Stacey, Alex, and Christian sitting the food was already on the table we went to our table
"Finally! nandito na kayo gutom- ANDY?!" gulat na sabi ni Alex
The one and only" Andy said Alex ran to her and hugged her
"Its been two years since I saw you in person" naiiyak na sabi ni Alex
"Ano ka ba wag ka ngang umiyak" sabi naman ni Andy
"I just can't help it nga pala this is Angelica our new classmate and barkada" sabi ni Alex
"Andy. Alex's cousin" sabi ni Andy
"Angelica" they shook each other's hands
Halatang nagulat naman si Christian sa aming lahat kasi only Leandro and Alex knew were she was pero mas madaming alam si Leandro if I know may gusto yan kay Andy iba din kasi ang trip nang ulol, pero Stacey knew about Andy and Christian since sinabi ni Christian sa kanya
"I invited her for dinner" sabi ni Leandro ngumite naman si Stacey pero it was a fake smile
"Let's eat na" sabi ni Stacey
We prayed and started eating Andy and Angelica were talking halaang magkasundo na nga sila
"Oh by the way Walter wants to give you something" sabi ni Andy
"Andy naman"
"Sige na nahiya ka pa" she said
"Uhm I wanted to give this to you I saw it awhile ago habang papunta dito I uhm I thought na bagay yan sa'yo so I bought it" I said and gave her the bag that contained the necklace
She got the box from the bag and opened it
"Its beautiful Walter its from Morphia a known jewelry shop baka naman mahal toh I-I can't take this" sabi nya
"Oh take it I gave him a discount that isn't mahal" sabi ni
"Huh?" tanong ni Angelica
"Itong pinsan ko kasi si Andy Garcia Ledezma ang may-ari nang Morphia so she gave Walter a discount" sabi ni Alex
"Woah m-my mom loves your pieces pati yung winter collection mo t-this necklace is the necklace you designed and may dalawa lang na ganito your mom owns the other one and- "You own the other one yep" Andy cut her off
"Bigtime na kasi ang pinsan kong ito she worked with so many designers there" proud na sabi ni Alex
"Aside from that she's busy so she has no time for jerks" singit ni Leandro
"Boom Panes Brother!" lahat naman nang tao sa ANDRE'S napatingin sa amin dahil medyo malakas ang ang boses ni Alex
"Christian by the way mommy said na we're gonna meet my gwama and gwakong tomorrow since its their 50th wedding anniversary you're my fiance so you have to be present" sabi ni Stacey
We all knew about their relationship bata pa lang kami we knew they were gonna be arranged pero sa totoo lang there was a time in our lives na we hated Christian nung galing kami nang Cagayan de Oro we didn't talk to Christian for 5 months sila lang palagi magkasama ni Stacey noon pero I knew na may sama nang loob pa din si Leandro at Alex sa kanya, I felt sorry for Andy as well pero atleast she's successful na.
"Okay" sabi ni Christian
"Tss. She knows where her place is Stacey no need to remind her" halatang naiirita na si Leandro kay Stacey
"I was just telling him in advance dahil baka he forgets" sabi ni Stacey
"baka makalimutan nya o gusto mo lang talagang magparinig sa ibang tao" may diin na sabi ni Alex
Siniko naman ni Andy si Alex
"You guys are impossible! So what naman you aren't a bitter btch naman diba Ms. Ledezma?" Stacey sarcastically said
Nagpatuloy lang sa pag hiwa nang steak si Andy
"Watch your words Stacey" sabi ni Leandro akala nami hindi magsasalita si Andy nagulat naman kami sa pagbagsak ng kubyertos ni Andy sa lamesa
"I know that you love him kaya nga ako yung nag adjust diba I even had to leave my business kasi ayoko nang gulo I am the victim so don't act like you're the victim just to gain people's pity. I'm not a bitch. I'm not bitter. I don't give give a damn about what you're talking about if gusto mong magparinig go on if you wanna remind me where my place is there is no need for that I know where my place and my worth as well and Mr. Ngo please naman pagsabihan mo ang fiance mo I'm eating just sitting here in peace in the first place may utang na milktea si Leandro sa akin kaya ako sumama dito he invited me din for dinner sabi nga nang matatanda bawal tumanggi sa blessings, baka ikaw ang bitch I'm just eating for heck's sake tapos tatawagin mo akong bitch wag kang puro leaves try mong kumain nang steak parang air nalang kasi ang na sa loob nang utak mo" sabi ni Andy and started eating again
"You ugly cheap woman!" she angrily said and threw her water kay Andy
"Stacey naman, let's just go" sabi ni Christian
"Ladies and Gentlemen sorry for the commotion everything on the house is on me" sabi ni Andy
Angelica gave Andy her hanky kinuha naman yon ni Andy and started wiping her wet face
"If I may ask bakit naging ganoon si Stacey?" tanong ni Angelica sa akin
"Oh dear pinapunta silang lahat sa Cagayan de Oro 2 years ago where I live they stayed ther for a year dahil sa kagaguhan ni Leandro because of Christian. Stacey demanded space so Christian gave her space, so pinadala sila sa Cagayan de Oro Christian worked for me since kulang nang riders ang Morphia noon so I hired him naging taga hatid-sundo ko din sya if I had meeting and wala syang deliveries he would drive me to my meetings he courted me tapos nung moving up ceremony namin Stacey went to Cagayan to surprise him called him baby tapos he didin't explain to his parents 'bout me and him I thought he would stop there engagement to be with me since that was the plan he told me pero wala I was a rebound I went to NYC and studied there I'm back here since may problema sa Rizal branch ko regarding the shipping so nandito ako" she said
"uso din namang humiga Ate" sabi ni Alex, ate talaga namin ni Alex si Andy since she's 6 months older than me and Alex ka age nya sa Leandro at Christian
"Yeah nakakamiss yung tinatawag mo ako nang ate, nga pala Lex pahiram nang phone I fogot mine in my office I gotta call my secretary to bring me clothes" Andy said binigay naman ni Alex ang cellphone nya kay Andy
"Damn I didn't know ganyan si Stacey" sabi ni Angelica
"All people have their bad sides" sabi ko
We continued eating after ilang minutes Dalia, Andy's secretary arrived with her clothes.
We talked about what happened in the past two years and Angelica and Andy knew each other more they both clicked right away since marami din pala silang similarities
Natapos kaming kumain Andy gave a check to pay everything
"I'll drive you home Angelica" sabi ko
"Okay wala din naman akong dalang sasakyan" sabi ni Angelica
"Thanks for the dinner Andy" sabi ko
"No problem. Hoy Tomas drive me home nakakapagod mag drive I'll ask my driver to get my car tapos buy me milktea" sabi ni Andy kay Leandro
"yes madam, una na kami demanding si madam" sabi ni Leandro
Nauna na sila ni Andy pati din si Alex
"Tara na" I told Angelica we went to my car together and I started driving papunta sa bahay nila
"Thanks nga pala for this necklace" sabi nya at ngumite
"You're welcome it suits you nga" sabi ko
Damn her smile nakakakilig gago nakakabakla
"We're here" sabi ko
"Thanks for driving me home and for this necklace Walter uhm goodnight" she said nagulat naman ako when she hugged me
"G-goodnight din and uhm s-sweetdreams" sabi ko
I stuttered damn ang init din nang tenga ko wait kinikilg na naman ako she hugged me dammmmmn sheeeee fucking huggeeeed me Lord yesssss
Pumasok na sya sa loob nang gate nila
Narrator's POV
Pag pasok ni Angelica sa gate she muttered to herself "he looked cute when he blushed hahahaha"
"Aba ang alaga ko ngumingite kahit sya lang mag-isa inlove ka noh" sabi nang yaya ni Angelica
"Manang naman ihhhhhhhh" sabi ni Angelica
"Sus alam ko yan ganyan din ako noon pag may ginagawang nakakakilig ang asawa ko noong nililigawan nya ako" sabi ni Manang
"Di naman ako inlove manang crush lang hehehe wag mo sasabihin kay mommy at daddy ha baka pagtripan na naman ako nun" sabi ni Angelica
"Oo naman ikaw pa nako nag dadalaga na ang alaga ko o sya pumasok ka na" sabi ni Manang Sita
"Sige po goodnight po manang" sabi ni Angelica
"Goodnyt din iha" nakangiting sabi ni Manang Sita
Sa gabing yon may laking ngiti sa labi ni Angelica habang sya ang natutulog.
That same night Christian drowned himself in alcohol somehow kahit sabihin ni Andy na she moved on he saw pain in her eyes he's the reason why she was in pain his dog Bruno came to him whimpering parang nakikisama din ang aso nya sa sakit na nararamdaman nya
"Bruno I saw pain in her eyes sinaktan ko sya after two years she's still in pain napaka gago ko I regret everything that I did if only I could turn back time I would've explained to my family and Stacey sana nandoon pa ako sa Cagayan kasama si Andy masaya siguro ako ngayon I wouldn't have to be stuck in a relationship I don't wanna be in I'm so tired of pretending I'm fucking lost Bruno...I lost my home s-she was my home and she'll always be my home and I pray to God everynight that she'll take me back"
That night Christian slept while crying and muttered Andy's name again and again asking her to come back
