2369 Words
We both quiet for a moment. Me waiting for Emjei to start a conversation, and him couldn't look straight in my eyes for being guilty. I sighed and got my things. "You seem not ready to talk." and rose from my feet. "Krayol, wait.." I glanced at his hand on my arm. He removed it as I sat back in my chair. "Speak Emjei, I don't have all day." lazily I uttered the word. "I just came back." he started and looked at me intently. "I'm sorry, hon." he paused and sighed. "Krayol, it's always you. It's still you whom I am inlove with.." My eyes squinted at him, if looks could kill he probably dead by now. The nerve of him! "Come on Emjei! You don't have to act and play like a victim here." gasping for an air, my chest tightened suddenly. "I know what you've done behind my back. Stop acting like a shakesperian guy now!" I rested on my chair, calming my inner self. "Krayol, I don't love her. It's you that I love. I ended everything between me and Krish-" "You asshole!" He's now admitting his sin. Cheater! "Hon, please.. I love you.. I love you so much. Please give me another chance. I will make it up for everything this time." "No." shaking my head. "I don't love you anymore." I saw how his face fell. Good for you dumbass! "I can't trust you again. So my answer is no." "Krayol.." his voice cracked. "You should think a lot of times before you jump to that b***h. We're over Emjei." I stood up fast. And this time, he didn't move to stop me. I opened my wallet and placed down a cold cash. That's for my order. I didn't want to be indebted to him. I silently wiped the tears on my face before I left the place. It was still hurt, we'd been together for almost two years. I even saw my future with him before. Thinking he was the one. I loved him. He would always held a special place in my heart. But I couldn't take him back anymore. He cheated once. And he would probably do it again in the near future.. After breaking my scandalous afair with Emjei. I was thinking that him and Krishane would be more open about their relatioship. But no, they never spotted together and I never heard anything towards their romance. Why Krishane got mad at me. There was a time that our ways had crossed. But I chose not to bit her back and stayed being classy by chosing my peace. "Oh well, look what we found here?" "Do you hear anything girls?" Lyra. "Yes, you. I can hear you clearly." Quinna frowned at her. I just shook my head at my friends as they started laughing. Well, of all places, the bitches were here in my favorite coffee shop in this mall. "Stop laughing at me!" Krishane screamed and it really hurt my ears. "Will your please get out of our sight?!" Quinna irate said. "And please don't wait for us to drag you out of this place." Lyra grinned at her. "Don't waste your time with them. Let's go Kris." one of her friends pulled her arm. "Yeah. She actually looks like a waste. Like a garbage!!" Shilin said that made me giggled. "Krayol Ginger! You think Emjei still loves you?" she angrily faced me. "No! He doesn't love you anymore so don't think that he'll coming back to you! Coz it will never happen!" she looked like a real desperate poor girl. My smile turned to grin. "Tell yourself that. Coz I think between us, you are the one who's still hoping. Stop being delusional and live in reality dear. Wake up! Emjei not serious with you. He never will." "How dare you!" she's about to slap me but someone made her stop. "E-emjei!" her eyes widened. Emjei let go of her and rushed to my side. "You okay, Krayol?" "I'm fine." He scanned my body and heaved a sigh. Before he faced the b***h. "What are you trying to do?!" Emjei raised his voice. "Will you stop pestering us?!" "Us? I thought you two have broken up? The entire school knew about your break up a few months ago." Krishane cried out. "Yes, but it doesn't mean I don't have feelings for her. And will doesn't mean you have the right to treat her like this!" Krishane narrowed her eyes at me. And my friends cleared their throat. "Let's go, Kris. We're getting attention." "You can't do this to me! And what are you all looking at? Get a life!!" that's her last words before she left with her friends. "Freak!" Shilin shook her head. "I'm sorry, Krayol.. I didn't intend to make a scene." Emjei couldn't meet my eyes. "Why are you here? Don't tell me you two have a date in here?" I was pissed suddenly. "No! I'm not with her. I meant I went here by myself. It was a coincidence." "Please Emjei. Let's just move on. And whatever relationship do you have with that girl that's non of my business. Let us all move on." "I'm sorry. This won't happen again." he said before he retreated. I was shocked by his statement. I thought his relationship with her was getting serious and they just wanted being lowkey. But when he admitted that he still had feelings for me in front of that b***h. It felt weird. It's been a months since we officially broke up. "What a cold-hearted girl. You're so harsh." Quinna commented as her eyes watching me. "Are you sure about it?" Lyra. "You don't have feelings for him?" "Yeah, it's true girls. I loved him but I weeped enough before. And I'm happy to say, I finally moved on." "Because of Nolan?" Shilin asked out of nowhere. My heart beated so fast suddenly just only hearing his name. "N-no!" a force smile appeared on my face. "How in hell, Shilin?" "Just a wild guess." she shrugged. "What happened again in Puli? About the two of you. You never talked about it since you came back here in Manila." "Nothing. Nothing was interesting." my lips pursed. "You sounded crazy. It's obvious you like the guy." Shilin again and being serious. "I don't!" shaking my head. "Yeah, I agree. You even looked sad when Shilin mentioned Nolan's name rather your break up with Emjei." Lyra put her hands under her chin. "What really happened when we left?" "Aww! Maybe that's the reason why you get easily over Emjei. Two years aren't a joke. But look at you now, you look just fine." Quinna's smile went wider. "Please girls. That's not true, okay? I'm not into that guy and besides.." he has a girlfriend. I skipped that part. "And besides..?" "I hate you girls! What if I excluded you all to my eighteenth candles?!" I made face. "Okay! Fine! Whatsoever!" Lyra grinned. "Let's talk about your debut party then." We stopped talking about Krishane, Emjei and.. Nolan. What a relief. And we jumped to my eighteenth birthday for this coming April 1st. I already sent out my invitations to my classmates and schoolmates. But not Emjei.. This was our last week for this year. And after this, I would see them again on my birthday. I smiled sadly while my eyes trained around the field. Our PE class usually being held here. And we often had school activites here. "I'm going to miss this place." I murmured. "This place will going to miss you too girl." the three said while sniffing. "Hey! Stop crying girls." I was crying too now. "We can still see each other. There's social media." "You're unfair.." "Yeah, why you have to leave and move school." "Give us a beep if you need some hands." Shilin tried her smile. "I will miss you more girls." we group hugged. And let our tears spoke. If my new school wasn't good and would get me bored. I would surely back here and my parents couldn't stop me doing that. "Oh Krayol!" my nanny looked like she saw a ghost in my presence. My friends and I got drunk last night. But they still got home to avoid problem for my upcoming birthday. "Your brother will get mad at you when he sees you wearing only that." "Rui wasn't here. He has a conference meeting." I took my seat and waited for my breakfast. "Still Krayol. Listen to your brother." I looked down my undies it was visible from my loose white blouse. I closed my eyes and sighed. I usually slept naked only with my undies, it's more comfortable and refreshing. But now I made an effort to put some blouse. "I'm going to miss you nanny." I smelled the aroma of her cooking. "I would like to come with you in hacienda but you know I can't Krayol. I can't live my child alone here in Manila." "Yes, I know. If only I can bring you with me." I stared at my nanny who's cooking so graceful. She's been my nanny for years and for the first time we're going to part ways. While Fernand, could go home here always to his family in Manila. Compare to my nanny who'd been living with me since I could remember. Nanny was born in Puli and chose to live here when she met her husband and started her family here. "Krayol. You have a visitor." "Tell them not to disturb me." I told her still my eyes closed. Really my friends were so full of energy. "I will send home Emjei?" I peeked in my eyes and tried to process my nanny's name had mentioned. Lazily I got up from bed. "Coming." I yawned. What is Emjei doing here at this time? Crossing my arms as I looked at him. "What brings you here?" "I just want to know if your.. fine." rubbing his brows. I stared at Emjei again. I once head over heels with this guy. His foreign looks, he did capture my heart easily. Who's not? He's got sparkling eyes that promised happiness with a bit of mystery in it. His pointed nose and kissable lips, and even his 5'10 feet in height. Everyone will fall for him. "I'm doing fine. And you don't really have to come here." "I know.. but it's your birthday soon.. I'm.. uhmm.. Can I still be your-" "I already told my parents that we're over. My brother Rui will be my escort." I saw hurt in his face. But he still managed a smile. He then reached for my hand but I hid it on my lap. "I still love you hon.. And I'm not going to give us up. I want to show you that I am still your guy." he smiled a little. "And I'm going to prove it to you no matter how it takes." "Emjei.. I thought I made it clear to you the last time we talked." I sighed. "No, I know you still in pain. But I am more than sure you still love me too." he seriously said. "I'm willing to wait Krayol.." I bit my lips. I really wasn't sure about my feelings toward him. If he's still here in my heart and what he said was true that I was just hurt or I was really fall out of love and got over him. But who is Nolan for me? "Thank you for visiting me." it felt awkward suddenly when I reached our gate. "No, thank you for your time. And for letting me in." he was smiling now like he's really happy even we still not back together. "Emjei. Honestly I only did that coz I don't wanna be rude to you." "It's okay. Whatever your reason it's still fine with me." "And besides.. it will be the last.. I will transfer school and will live with my parents in Puli." "I know.. advance happy birthday honey.." It's too late to avoid his kiss. I was too shocked why his lips touched the corner of my mouth. "Happy birthday, Krayol.." he whispered. As he placed a kiss on my forehead. I let him hug me for the last time. My arms moved and wrapped around him too. He felt my embrace why he tightened his hug. "I will miss you, honey." he then let go of the hug. "Thank you." that's all I could say. "For everything.." He smiled sadly. "Take care always." then he turned on his back. I still feeling sad when I entered our house. I would not going to regret this, would I? I made the right decision when I ended my relationship with him. I think. That night I felt more okay after the conversation we had. I accepted our break up now. Wholeheartedly. No bad blood between us. We could easily move on to our lives. Even I was still sleepy I got up from my bed, this was the day for my long drive to Puli. I was even two days delayed to my coming home. And didn't have plans on going there if not because of flooded missed calls to my cellphone from Mom. The aroma of roasted coffee toasted bread welcomed my sleepy state in the kitchen. Even it was my last day here in Manila, she's still spoiling me. "Ny, can you please add some bacon and hotdogs." I leaned on the table while waiting for my coffee and breakfast. I waited not that longer when she placed down the plate in front of me. "Thank you nanny. I will really miss you." lifting my head only to scream in horror. "Why?" he asked in a crease forehead. I looked down at the coffee he placed in the table but it traveled up to his face. "W-why.. why are you here?" I sat up abruptly from my chair. "Bawal ba?" (Am I not allowed here?) he said cooly. He calmly set the food in the table. "What the hell are you doing here Nolan??!!" I screamed at him. He's giving me a heart attack!
