Be With Him

“Where’s your luggage pala?”

Steven, who’s beside me in the backseat of the car while Angela is in the passenger seat, he boredly looked at me.

“I lived here” mabilis na kumunot ang noo ko dahil sa sinabi niya, I’ve been with them since then, bakit hindi ko alam ‘to?

“We?” When I say those word his forehead automatically creased.

“You’ve forgotten? We already told you about this, right?” I crossed my arms infront of my chest and acted hurt and I heard him sighed “We’re sorry, ‘kay? But alam ko talaga sinabi na naman ‘to e..”

I burst out my laughter because of what he said

“Charot lang tanga, Alam ko” he just made a face when his phone suddenly rang.

“Oh?….. Gago ba siya? Harangan niyo, tanginang ‘yan….. puruhan niyo, gago ba siya?” With that He ended the called and closed his eyes deeply, I saw Angel looking at him, worried, in the rear view mirror.

We stopped in front of Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort and ayon sa research ko they have luxe gateaway with 8 restaurant and a spa, hindi pa kami totally nakakapasok pero halos malaglag ang panga ko sa nakikita ko, tanginaa!! Feeling ko ang yaman ko!

“Rest first, Reuzekhia… we’ll tour tommorow” Steve suggest but I just shrugged, If I sleep I’ll just remember him more, I need to be busy so I can f-cking forget that a-hole

“No I don’t wantttt!!” I tried to sounds and act like a kid but he just looked at me with awful looked

“You’re hopeless, Izha, Let’s go to bar… let’s just change clothes” I smiled at him and stared at him, he raised his brow at nagulat ako nang makarinig ako ng pagdadabog na lakad mula sa stilletto ni Angel, but she stop mid-way from us

I smirked.

“Ako pa hopeless ah?” I laughed sarcastically before walking towars Angel “Hey…” I pat her shoulder and she gave me a fake smile so I laughed “Tame the beast inside of him” I winked before leaving them.

“Where are you going, Reuzekhia?!” I heard Steve calling my names but I just waved my hands.

Nang makalabas ng Resort ay marami kaagad na taxi ang sumalubong sa’ken kaya hindi ako nahirapan makasakay.

“Take me to the nearest bar, P-please?” I carefully said those word, baka mamaya hindi siya nakaka-intindi ng tagalog e.

“Okay po” Po?!. Habang naka-upo dito sa back seat ay hindi ko mapigilan mapa-tingin sa driver, mukha siyang bata! Gago, ang pogi pa!

“Ma’am?” He uttered, napa-ayos ako ng upo nang marinig ang mahina niyang tawa at sumipol-sipol pa “Sheyt, hanggang dito ba naman?” Doon tuluyang nanlaki ang mata ko.

“Pinoy ka?!” He seems shocked too, nanlalaki rin ang mga mata niya bago pumikit-pikit at bumuntong-hininga.

“Sorry po hehe” I just smiled at him.

“Anong pangalan mo?” I asked kindly, he smiled at me before scratching his head a little.

“F-fortune ho…. Ano ba yan ayoko magsinungaling e!” My mouth left hanging open when he suddenly throw a tantrums “Fortune ho, Fortune Jimenez”

“Ahm…. I’m Reuzekhia Canary Peralta, you can call me Reu” he smiled at me and in just a second he laughed hysterically.

“Bar tayo pupunta… I guess broken hearted ka rin no?” I immediately looked at him but he just laughed “Tara andito na tayo”

Tsaka lamang ako napatingin sa labas at napansin ang isang lugar na kung titignan mo ay parang isang bahay lamang ito kung hindi lang sa mga blue and red neon lights na lumalagpas na dito.

“Sasama ka sa loob?” I asked confused but he just smiled at me and winked.

“I’m a bartender also” he chuckled and left me with confused look, he look amazing, I mean he’s a good looking yes, he looks rich tapos ang daming side line?

Inihatid niya ako sa isa sa mga couch doon at iniwan muna ako para daw kumuha ng inumin, Well… he’s a bartender here, I trust his taste.

I expect him to come back with the drinks but he also came back with a girl, the girl looks sophisticated, her smaller than me, she’s thin with her golden brown hair that suites her perfectly.

“Margarita…. sikat sa mga kababaihan” he winked at me before placing a bottle of margarita, the girl who sat beside me rolled her eyes, I noticed that her eyes are swollen.

“Margarita? Psh! I don’t like that! I want Mojito! Bring me some!” Napa-ngiti ako ng marinig ang boses niya, she’s one of those typical maartes in University.

“Manahimik ka, Pinay… kung anong iseserve ko ayan ang iinumin mo, naiintindihan mo?” I laughed when the guy threatened her “Ayang katabi mo…” He pertain me ” Pinay din ‘yan, broken hearted din!”

The girl looked at me from head to toe before sighing.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“You know what? We are too pretty to get broken!!” Her voice is in high pitched but it’s okay since the bar’s music is louder. “Just one night, one night.” She inhaled a large amount of air before sighing deeply “Just one night, let’s get wasted!” She cheered while pouring some liqours.

Yeah, One night I hope this pain will be over tommorow.

“What’s your name?” She said while drinking, bottoms up.

“Reu, you?”

“Just call me Lynx”

“Lynx means brightness, right?” Well I’m not sure.

“Yeah, but bumaliktad” She looked at me and I swear she’s now tipsy, nakaka dalawang baso na siya “Ang sakit lang sakin! How can I miss him when I never seen him before?!”

My forehead creased trying to understand what’s she’s whinning about.

“Ow, you met him through chat? call?”

“Both” She laughed and suddenly looked at me “You? What happened to you ? Okay ka Lang ba?”

Her questions melt my heart, 3 words 1 question, Okay ka lang ba?

It means my existence matter.

“I…. I hope I am” I whispered ” How can he says na hindi niya sinasadyang gaguhin ako!? na lokohin ako?!”

She smiled at me.

“Well, pretty girls just got fooled”
