"Me? Jealous? Impossible."

I kept on whispering those three words to myself. Calvin's words lingered in my mind. Gulong-gulo na yung utak ko. Ni hindi ko nga alam kung paano ba ako nakauwi kagabi! Tapos ngayon may acting workshop pa ako, kasabay ko pa si Natasha. Hinatid ko siya sa isang restaurant.

Gusto ko pa siyang samahan kaso ayaw niya naman kaya iniwan ko nalang siya. I attended my workshop, it was going fine. It was a quick break, I decided to check my social media accounts. And I saw a video of AJ kissing a woman. I immediately texted Natasha but she wasn't replying!

I said goodbye and left even though may isang oras pa bago matapos ang workshop ko. My mom will get mad at me but who cares about that workshop, my bestfriend needs me right now. And when I reached the restaurant, I saw her sleeping.

He made my Natasha wait for nothing?!

I walked towards her direction, I tapped her shoulders, "Stand up. Let's go."

Nauna akong lumabas and I can feel she's confused with my actions but she kept on following me till we reached the parking lot. I didn't say any word, ganon din siya. 

"Get in." I said.

When we entered the car, I can't control my anger anymore. She waited there like a fool! She waited for nothing! I opened my bag and I gave my phone to her. She needs to see the truth, she deserves to know what is happening. My bestfriend doesn't deserve to be treated like this. She's precious, she's worth it. She deserves so much more than this.

"For God's sake Natasha! This will be the last time I'm telling you this, stop meeting that asshole...fuck I shouldn't have gave your number to him...this is my fault."

My heart broke when I saw her cry, when I heard her sobs. It was rare for me to see her weak side. She was always showing her strong side, she already built walls for herself. It hurts me to see her like this.

As I was watching her, she kept on watching the video even if it hurts her so much. I snatched my phone away from her. I placed my palm on her cheeks and I looked at her straight in the eyes, she can't even look at me but I can see her tears.

"Okay, I'm sorry because I shouted but please listen to me hmm? I'm just trying to help you, I'm trying to save you from more pain." I hugged her. Just like how her arms give the best comfort when I'm down.

She kept on apologizing to me. I couldn't understand her, wala naman siyang kasalanan pero patuloy ang paghingi niya ng tawad. I tried to lift up the mood by making a joke and I guess it worked. Pinalo niya yung ulo ko eh. I asked her to stay in my place too, ayaw ko rin namang umuwi sa bahay.

Magpapadeliver nalang sana ako ng food pero isang oras pa daw. Kaya nag  IG story ako to ask if anyone knows kung saan may masarap na Chinese food! Gosh it was embarrassing but it was the easiest way to know the answer.

A few minutes after nakareceive agad ako ng answers. I tried to contact the place they suggested. Success naman kaya nagpaalam na muna ako kay Natasha maliligo ako.

It took me 20 minutes to shower, lumabas ako ng bathroom na naka robe lang. Nakita ko na wala na si Tash sa living room kaya I asked kung nandyan na ba yung food.

But what the fuck I saw Hayden outside!

He was wearing a black jacket and a black cap. I ran to close the door immediately. Ginawa kong pangharang yung sarili ko pero tinulak ako ni Natasha para buksan ulit yung pinto.

I helped her from her man tapos ganito igaganti niya sakin?!

He was just standing there while holding the food.
