The Chasing Game (Game Series 1)

Chapter 32

Truth

Nasa isang coffee shop ako ngayon at nag kakape, I decided to take a little break from all the stress I have this pass few weeks. Sometimes its really nice to have a little time for yourself kahit yung simpleng pag upo lang sa coffee shop at pag inom ng kape it helps you to relax a bit.

Napatingin ako sa paligid ko All I see is couples dating around. Kung titignan ay mukha akong kawawa dahil ako lang ang natatanging magisa habang nagkakape. I care less about it I shouldn't be stress why I'm all alone, sanay naman akong mag isa e. We need to be alone sometimes, having people around you is a bit intoxicating, minsan you need to gain your thoughts alone you need to think and solve your problems alone, consult yourself coz no one knows you better than yourself alone.

Naagaw ng atensyon ko ang pamilya sa labas na masayang naglalakad patungo sa kalapit na mall. Someday I wanna have that kind of family. I snap out with that kind of thoughts I have why I'm I thinking about family already e yung problema ko nga sa puso ko di ko naayos tapos gusto ko na agad magkapamilya.

Then suddenly I received a text from a person who's always been there for me. I missed him I really do parang gusto ko na ulit tuloy bumalik ng Paris.

Marcus
"I Miss You!"

With that simple text I felt happy its nice to know that someone is still concerned about you that someone is still there for you. Hundred of thoughts came into my mind. What if I gave other people a chance, gave Marcus a chance and gave my self a chance too baka kasi yun nalang yung kulang so I can finally move forward. I'm the only one who's been stuck about our past and memories together, maybe its time for me to move forward ng sa ganoon ay hindi na ako nasasaktan ng ganito ng sa ganoon ay maging masaya na rin ako. I immediately reply back to him.

Me
"I miss you too"

Nang napansin kong ubos na ang kapeng iniinom ko ay napagpasyahan ko ng umalis. Habang nilalakbay ko ang kahabaan ng Makati Avenue ay sari saring tao ang nakita ko some where teenagers, some where business man and some where families. I think I should give something up if it isn't worth it anymore kung alam mo ng sobra sobra na yung sakit na idinulot sayo nito, siguro nga mahirap lumaban kung alam mo ng talo ka na kung alam mo ng ikaw na lang ang lumalaban.

Nang makarating ako sa T.A.C records ay agad akong pumanhik paakyat ng 5th floor I still need to finish all the works that I left. Tumunog ang elevator hudyat na nasa tamang palapag na ako. Kaagad akong binati ng mga empleyadong nakakasalubong ko. I gave them a warm smile as a sign of greeting them back. Habang papalapit ako sa aking opisina ay napatigil ako ng may marinig akong ingay at asaran mula sa private room ng 23DA na halos katabi lang ng opisina ko, I thought they were on holiday bakit sila nandito. I was supposed to enter the room and ask them kung bakit sila andito samantalang holiday naman nila ngayon ng bigla kong marinig ang pinaguusapan nila.

Pare, what's the real score ba between you and Becca? tanong sakanya ni Darren.

You guys know it do I need to explain it were just friends. Sagot niya naman rito.

Wehhhhhhh!! Sabay sabay na kanchaw at tawanan sa kanya ng mga kabanda niya.

Araw araw kayong magkasama it's impossible na hindi ka ma develop sa kanya kahit kaonti. Come on pare she's Rebecca Elise Madrigal the hottest celebrity of our generation and top one sexiest FHM model from two straight years hear that pare TWO STRAIGHT YEARS!! Everyone is dying to date her samantalang ikaw araw araw mo siyang kasama. Don't tell me your not attracted to her? Dagdag pa ni Jack habang pinag didiinan ang two straight years kuno.

I'm not like you pare. Wag mo ako itulad sayong babaero you know me. Sagot ni Austyn sakanya na ikinatawa naman ng ibang miyembro ng groupo.

Or maybe his not yet over with the The One That Got Away. bigla namang sagot ni Casper na ikinatahimik nilang lahat.

Tigilan mo ko pare ang korni mo. Sagot ni Austyn sakanya na may halong inis at ngisi.

Uyy, Affected si Master amin amin din kasi pag may time. Asar pa lalo niya rito.

Ouch, Master wala namang sakitan akala ko ba love one another tayo dito sa groupo. Reklamo ni Casper ng bigla siyang batuhin ni Austyn ng boteng hawak nito.

Ang korni mo pare nakakadiri ka don't tell me bumibigay ka na. Diring diring sabi sakanya ni Jack na ikinatawa naman ng iba.

Ayaw niyo nun may princesa na kayo sa groupo. Sabay hawak sa gilid ng kanyang pantalon na parang ito ang dulo ng kanyang gown at kumakaway pa na parang pang Miss Universe. Isa isang sumugod sakanya ang kanyang  mga kabanda at binigyan siya ng tig iisang batok bago sila sabay sabay na nagtawanan.

Dali Dali akong umalis right after I heard there conversation. Hindi sila ni Rebecca so what about the news palabas lang ba lahat ng iyon for what for popularity? Hindi ko alam kung ano ang mararamdaman ko they are not in a relationship so Austyn must be single and it's because of the The One That Got Away which most likely to be me. Saring saring emosyon ang naramdaman ko tulala akong umupo sa swivel chair ko habang pa ulit ulit na pinoproseso ang mga nalaman ko. Shit I still have a chance.
