ONE WONDERFUL NIGHT

Flynn Noah's POV: Flynn Noah's POV:

I'm sad and a bit pissed at the thought of Farrah treating me this way. I know I should have been more understanding towards her. But, I can't force myself because this is what I truly feel now.

I have been avoiding her since earlier and I know that she is wondering why. But, isn't this what she wanted? That the both of us must not be seen together? I love her and I respect her, that is why I am doing what she wants, even it includes the things that are against my will.

We arrived at Sun Flower KTV after a few minute ride. Everyone is so hyped-up and enjoying each other's company, well, except me.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Though I kinda feel guilty because I know this must be a happy celebration for Junier's birthday, still I can't help but to feel gloomy.

I want to be with her. I like to be the one that is beside her right now. But, aside from clenching my jaw while watching the two of them so close to each other, I know there is nothing I can do.

I am thinking, never in my entire life, I did feel insecure towards someone, just now. And that is, of course, because of Farrah.

Yes, I admit. I feel so insecure with Beau right now. Kasi, unlike him, he can freely be with her whenever he wants to. She doesn't give a damn if whoever will see them together. But how about me? Why does she need to lie and meet me secretly? Pakiramdam ko tuloy parang may mali kung magkikita o magsasama kami. Kinakahiya niya ba ako? Or is it because I'm her boss and she's my employee? But, what the fxck is the wrong with that?!

I can't see any good reason for her to be ashamed of being with me. Ano naman ngayon sa mga makakakita sa amin, diba? Is she afraid of what others might think? Wala naman kaming ginagawang masama ah?! So, why bother giving a damn to any of those judgments!

I let out an exaggerated loud breathe as I walked towards the place. We rented the VIP room, and it has quite a huge space that perfectly fits all of us.

I told them to order alcoholic drinks, foods, and other things that they want. Of course, we sang a birthday song for Junier first before letting him blow the candles off his cake. Now, they are finally singing and enjoying the night.

Meanwhile, I was just sitting on the corner side of the room. Eyes directly watching at the big screen in front of us but my mind is flying. Gusto ko man sanang lingunin at alamin kung ano ang ginagawa ni Farrah ay hindi ko na lang ginawa. As usual, alam kong magkatabi silang dalawa ni Beau kaya hindi na ako nag-aksaya nang panahon para tignan sila.

Lalo lang akong mawawalan nang gana pag makita kong ang lapit-lapit nila sa isa't-isa.

"Chef! Gusto mong kumanta?" Sheila suddenly offered and handed me the microphone.

I just give her a small smile and shook my head. I don't know how to sing so, no thanks. She then sit beside me and continued singing.

An hour had passed and everyone is getting drunk. The noise from the one's singing and from the others who are chit-chatting tells how much they are savoring tonight's simple celebration.

I am enjoying the night as well. I tried so hard to unbothered myself from that gloomy feeling and mingled with most of them.

When I could no longer restrain myself, I simply turned my vision to where Farrah is.

I shook my head when I saw her leaning on Beau's shoulder. She seemed drunk but what do I expect? I know she will not mind if she gets drunk. She has Beau who is ready to attend to her needs always, anyway.

Parang bumigat na naman ang nararamdaman ko. Nagseselos na naman ako. Mariin kong ipinikit ang aking mata. Nang nagmulat ako ininom ko ang alak na hawak-hawak ko. I think I should go home now. I can no longer afford to be with the two of them in the same room.

I walk towards in the middle, to where Junier is sitting. He stood up so I give him a pat on his shoulder and greeted him again.

"I think I need to leave now. Thank you for inviting me. Happy birthday, Junier."

"Bakit ang aga naman yata, Chef?" Junier asked.

"Well, kailangan kong pumunta ng maaga sa opisina bukas. Pasenya na. Anyway, you can still stay here and enjoy the rest of the night." I told them and faced Lina after, "Lina, can we go outside for a while?" "Gano'n po ba? Sige po, marami pong salamat, chef!"

"No problem. Una na ako sa inyo." I smiled at them before turning to where Farrah is sitting, "Mag-iingat kayo pag-uwi."

They all said their goodbye to me before I left the VIP room. The moment we step outside I faced Lina. I gave her P20, 000 for the bill and told her to make sure that everyone will be home safe, especially the girls. I know they are responsible din naman kaya confident ako na iwan sila.

I'm not drunk, pero para akong zombie na naglalakad papunta sa parking lot. Nababahala ako kay Farrah dahil nakainom na siya. Ngunit wala akong magagawa kung hindi ang hayaan siya. Hanggang pag-alala lang ang kaya kung maibigay sa kanya dahil ayaw kong labagin ang gusto niya.

Ayaw niyang makita kami na magkasama kaya iyon ang gagawin ko. She will be home safe naman siguro, diba? I don't personally know Beau, pero alam kong hindi naman siya masamang tao. Siya na siguro ang maghahatid kay Farrah pauwi sa bahay nito.

"Flyyyyyyynnnn!!!"

I was about to go inside my car when someone shouted my name. Natigilan ako. Alam ko kung sino ang may-ari nang boses na 'yan. My door is already open but I didn't move. I waited for her to reach in front of me and tried my best to act casually. I didn't say a word, hinihintay ko lang kung ano ang sasabihin niya.

"Flynn!! Woi, teka lang!!!" she said breathlessly. I guess she ran from the building on the way here.

I thought she's already drunk. But how does she manage to run that fast huh? I stared at her cooly, as if I'm not affected to her presence. "Yes?"

I saw her gulp. "Ah.. ahm.. ano.." she stuttered.

My forehead creased. Ano bang kailangan niya? Hindi ba siya natatakot na baka may makakita sa amin ngayon? I sighed, "What do you want Farrah?"

I didn't know that I was a good actor. I was able to act cooly even though she had that opposite effect on me.

But, I was stunned when she suddenly grab one of my hand and hold it tightly. I look down at our hands and saw how my hand seems to feel so big in between her two soft hands.

"May nagawa ba akong hindi mo nagustuhan, Flynn?" she asked dejectedly.

Napakurap-kurap ako. Alam kong napakabading nito, pero bigla nalang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. Hinawakan niya lang ang kamay ko pero grabi na ang epekto nito sakin. Napipilan ako at hindi na nakagalaw sa kanyang harapan. "Ano bang nagawa ko, Flynn? Please, sagotin mo naman ako!" halos ma-iyak na siya sa harapan ko. "Alam kong meron, kaya please magsalita ka naman!" halos sumigaw niyang pag papatuloy.

Parang nabalik naman ako sa aking wisyo dahil sa pasigaw niyang boses. Parang nawala bigla ang pagtatampong naramdaman ko kanina nang makita ang reaksyon niya ngayon, sa aking harapan.

Hindi ko na napigilan ang aking sarili. Linapitan ko siya at yumakap ako sa kanya. Naramdaman kung gumagalaw mga balikat niya kaya tinignan ko ang mukha niya.

"Hey, baby. Shhh.. Don't cry." inalo ko siya nang tuluyan na siyang umiyak sa dibdib ko.
