Chapter 41
Nikita's POV,
"Hon." He says.
"What are you doing here?" I said. I can sense emotionless in my voice --- in the way I speak.
"I-I want to explain. E-everything." He said more.
Is he crazy or stupid? Don't get me wrong because that words are different.
"You have nothing to explain Terrence." I said.
Oh nooo! Why am I being emotionless? This is not me.
"No. I have." His stubbornness.
"Then I don't have time to listen to your explanations." I said and was about to enter the house.
"Please Nikita." Begging he says. I just looked at him. He still hasn't changed except from his blonde hair and HE'S NOT THE TERRENCE ANYMORE THAT I USED TO LOVE SINCE HE HURT ME.
"OK." I gave a short answer and headed to the mini park here in our subdivision.
When I sat down, he also sat down next to me. We were silent for a few seconds before he could think of speaking.
"I'm sorry." He said and made me laugh out loud.
"One year and seven months since you left me and then you came back after that, saying sorry? Oh don't act like you care about me Terrence. Don't act like you're really sorry about hurting me because I already did "I don't care about you anymore." I said angrily.
"I left for you." He says.
"Oh com'on. I don't believe that." I said.
Ewan, I still can't get over what he did to me. I know that I've already moved on. Maybe its because I can't accept the fact I'm worth to left because I can't give what every man in the world likes.
"Look Terrence, I've already moved on with you. Let's just see each other as a stranger." I said and stood up properly.
"I did that because my parents would marry me to a woman I don't love. I made that as an excuse for you to hate me, so that it would be easy for you to move on with me. I didn't know but little by little I was also her. loved. That was Elaiza. And first yes, I miss you but she never gave up on me until I loved her. But she left me. The Lord has taken her. " He said and looked up at the sky.
I don't know but I suddenly grabbed him from behind.
"She left me last week and before she left she said something to me. She wanted me to say sorry to you. She also apologized to you for hurting you raw. Also me, I'm sorry." he says.
I thought he still had feelings for me, he would just apologize. Your feelingera again.
"Condolence." I said and caressed her back.
"How did she die?" My question is curious because it was the morning when he died.
"She died due to the disease. She has Systemic lupus erythematosus. Her lupus is active again and her kidneys have been damaged." She said crying so I cried out of nowhere.
"He looks very different. I thought he was gaining weight but when I asked the doctor, his face and his whole body seemed to be swollen. His stomach was too big, as in. They said they were water. I feel sorry for him. to him because his arm is turning black because of the injections. Is it because of the amount of injections he was given. He was still pretty ok before the day she died. The bacteria had spread to his brain and he was already poisoned. Before she died at 5:47 am she shouted 'I don't want to die Ma!' He cried in between tears. " He told a long story while sobbing.
"Shhh that's right, and at least he's rested from that pain." I just said. She also made me cry. I feel sorry for him.
"I hope you forgive us for hurting you." She said as she wiped away her tears.
"I've forgiven you for a long time." I said sincerely but smiled at him.
I forgave him before when I was able to move on with him.
"You're still kind today." He said while laughing.
"Pshhh! That's right, maybe you'll get mad at me for that again." I said simultaneously slapping his arm.
"Tskkk!" He says.
"Anyway, that's all you really meant here why did you come home?" I say because they are from America.
"Nope. I plan on staying here. I'll also manage our company. We also have a branch here." He says.
"Oh? That's great. Director Terrence Namilla." Amazed I said.
Same as Kent he is too. Kent will manage their company soon.
"Luhhh! What's up?" He says.
He still shunga-eeers.
"No, your name gets cooler when 'Director' is added" I said.
"Pshhh! Let's see, my aunt might kill me when she finds out that you came home late because of me." He said and I pulled upright.
'Hulahhhhh! Maybe Hanz is looking for me. '
I checked my cellphone to see if anyone was texting but I was already low.
'I'm really dead to Wizarddddd! Waaaaaaah! Ziyak! '
"Come on. Hanz is going to kill me." I said and I pulled him away.
"Is Hanz there?" He asked in shock.
By the way, he knows Hanz because I'm telling him that but he hasn't met me yet.
We walked in a hurry. Actually I'm the only one in a hurry but because I'm holding his arm I can drag him.
When we got close to our house, Hanz came out just in time, so he was surprised to see Terrence and me.
"Nikita!" He shouted and ran towards me and hugged me.
OA tong lalaking to!
"Where have you been?" She asked worriedly as she let go of my hug.
"And who is this again?" He sighed as he pointed at Terrence.
"Ahh, Terrence by the way Father. I just talked to Nikita for a while." He said and held out his hand to Hanz. And because my beshie was kind, he took it.
"Hanz." His short answer was they shook hands.
"I've heard a lot about you from Nikita." Terrence's statement.
"Oh? I'm an idol of that." He didn't seem to care so I looked at him. I stared at him because of the thickness of his face but he just laughed and whispered something to me.
"You'll tell me a story." He whispered in my ear and I just laughed.
Chismoso talaga tong BAKLANG to!
"Yes that's tomorrow." I just said and he nodded. I kicked him out because it was late and I knew he went straight to our house after his work.
"I'm going home ehh. You don't have to push me WITCH!" Said Hanz.
We stopped arguing with Hanz when Terrence suddenly laughed so we looked at him.
"Hahahah, you two matter." He says laughing.
I was surprised when Hanz suddenly put his arm around me.
"Really? Did you hear that Sweetie?" He said so I kicked him.
"Awtssss. It hurts ahhh. You're really a Witch." He said as he caressed the side of my knee.
"Ahh- Heheheh! My best friend is BAKLANG to Terrence." I said that's why Gay's gaze stung me.
"I'm not gay." Hanz said softly so I just laughed.
"All right. I'm leaving Nikita. See you tomorrow." Terrence said goodbye so I just nodded.
"Ingats!" I said while waving at him.
"Thanks for today." He said with a smile so I just smiled and he got in his car and I just looked at him from where I was standing.
He undergoes a lot of changes to himself.
"Who is that Witch?" Hanz suddenly asked me.
"Ahh, he's my ex. First boyfriend I guess." I told him.
"What? Edi, I should have just kicked him earlier." He says.
"Pshhhh! Easy Panot! He's sorry." I said.
"Why? She already feels guilty for leaving you?" She said while sobbing like my mother.
"Pshhh! I'll tell Panot tomorrow. Eyko is tired!" I said that's why he just stared at me.
"All right. You're asleep. You're not allowed to stay awake!" He said as he pushed me softly into our house.
"Yes. I could have entered Panot alone." I said with a poker face to him.
"Yes that Pregnant Witch." He said before we closed the door.
Not even that PANOT WIZARD CRYING THAT GAY!
And I went up so I could rest because I was tired today.
'Nytinayt my fans'
: Look up first.
Nikita's POV,
Hayyyy! The day I have been waiting for has come. Here is all my family as well as Hanz and Terrence. But because the best friend was mad, he made a tarpaulin with the words "CUM LAUDE, NIKITA 'WITCH' ARELLANO."
Yeahhh, that's how it was on the tarpaulin he made and he actually hung it outside our house.
Adikkk!
I'm nervous and I haven't talked to Mara yet because she's busy for reasons I don't know. It's also about to start because it's 2:00. The program will start at 2:30.
"Are you nervous son?" Dad asked. Yeahhh, papa is here because I'm about to graduate. That's another business.
He is an assistant manager in Hanz's company but in another branch. He was busy so he only came home yesterday and I would have talked about my pregnancy yesterday but my tongue stuck out because he might ask me about Kent. Good thing Mama didn't say because I asked her to tell me when I found the time.
"Pretty papa." I just said that but I was nervous but at the same time I was happy because in the end, my suffering also paid off.
"We're proud of you princess." Dad said smiling so I just smiled too.
"Thanks dad and mom." I told them so they both smiled.
"The drama." I turned my attention to the one who said no and only to find out that it was only Gay who said no. They were just side by side Terrence looking seriously at the other student.
I don't know about those and I'm still together!
"Are you saying something?" I shouted at him.
"That woman's drama oh!" He said at the same time he taught the woman who was crying even before the ceremony started.
"Che!" I just told him and there was Gay again, staring again.
"Niksssss!" I turned to call me. T'was Mara. What he looked like during the photo shoot is still the same even today. Bongga yung ate niyo, nagpabrazillian rebond pa.
"Oh Marssss!" I said and we hugged.
"Congrats." Bati ko.
"Congrats on a Cum Laude there." He says.
"Luhhhh!" I just said.
"He's Niksss! There's a Graduation Ball later. Go ahhh." He says.
Is there anything else like that?
"I'll think about it some more." I said because I'm not allowed to stay awake and get tired, right? I'm soon to be a mommy so I don't belong in such parties anymore.
"Ihhhhhh! Naman ihhhhh! Dali na kasiiiiii. Ang kj mo kahit kelan ka. Last naman na natin to ehhh kasi graduate na us." Mara's artistic resentment.
"No one will deliver me?" I asked because I was still hesitant whether I would go or not.
"Hanz. There's Hanz ehhh!" He said while pointing at Hanz.
"Uyyyy, what am I?" It looks like my Best Friend Ewan said ewan.
"It's just me." We were surprised when Terrence suddenly presented himself.
"Where are you going Witch?" Hanz groaned.
"Nuhhh! We're having a graduation party tonight and your Witch doesn't want to come because there's no one to deliver her." Mara sighed.
"Huh?" Hanz looked at me so I glared at him.
"Ahhh-ehhh! A-I don't want that." Hanz said because he also knew that I was not allowed to party because the baby might be harmed.
"It's just me." Terrence groaned again so we looked at him.
"No, he can't come." Hanz.
"Oh com'on. I'll just deliver you Nikita." Terrence is mad at me.
"You can't ehh." Said Hanz.
"And why is that?" Terrence's challenge to Hanz.
"Because I don't want to. Besides, I'm his best friend. Yo'ah?" Hanz said calmly.
Oh right? I told you it's gay.
"And I'm his first love." Terrence said so we all calmed down, so did Mara.
"A-ahh, N-Nikita. S-just pick you up." Mara broke the silence that enveloped us.
"No" "No" The two savages said at once.
"Because you two get along and by the way, I need an escort later to get in." Mara is mad at me.
"Huh? I don't want to." I said because I don't have anything to escort later.
"Me me." Simultaneous presentation of the two.
"I'm his partner because he's my best friend." Hanz said as he shuddered looking at Terrence.
"But I'm his first love." Terrence said arrogantly.
Why does Terrence always mention 'first love?'
"Hey girl! Just bring those two later. Really come with me ahh because if you don't, we'll be FO." Mara threatened me.
What? Will I take these two asungot to the party later?
"Oh son! It's about to start." Daddy said so I looked back and the teacher would start calling all the graduates so I left after I smiled at them.
"Attention, all graduates, please proceed at the UNB for the ceremony will now start." I heard something on the intercom so I hurried to get in line.
*Ten ten tenenenten tenenen. Ten ten tenenenten tenenen.
Ten ten tenenenten tenenen.
Ten ten tenenenten tenenen. *
A/N: Don't worry, graduate that song! I'm sorry, I'm saving on sound effects!
We started to march to our seats. I was all smiles as I walked the red carpet.
Yes, we are chuchal, there is a red carpet.
I smiled at them papa, mama, Hanz was Terrence.
And if you look at it, Kent is still in front of me. I thought not ehh.
When we sat down, he suddenly turned to my behavior.
"Congrats." He said while smiling so the smile disappeared from my lips.
"C-congrats too." I stammered.
Ghadddd! I miss his presence!
So that's it, we've been called one by one to get our diplomas and medals for those who we're honors. And as expected, cum laude rin si Kent, same as me.
I smiled at the camera Hanz was holding. Mama and Papa were with me on stage when Hanz took us.
We also went down after I called and mama and papa went back to where they were sitting earlier.
It reached us at five o'clock because the program was so fast.
After all we marched out. Of course my acquaintances approached me to take a picture.
Mama and papa took a picture of us. Hanz and I, Terrence and Mara.
I was shocked when Terrence and I took another picture, he suddenly kissed me on the cheeks so I looked at him once his camera clicked.
"I miss doing this to you." She said smiling so my cheek suddenly got hot.
"Don't do it again!" I sighed. Terrence's eyes suddenly became sad.
Why did he do that?
: Graduation Ball Part 1.1
Nikita's POV,
I'm currently getting ready now because our Ball starts at eight o'clock and Hanz will pick me up at seven forty-five.
Yeahhh! Hanz is my escort because he brags about being my best friend so he should be the one who has more rights for me.
Tsk !!
But Terrence will still go because outsiders can still go there.
It's nice to have two escorts!
What if Kent and I are still together? She is definitely my escort. But since it's gone ... it's just Hanz.
I was currently flirting when suddenly Mama called me so I went down. I saw mama reading papers.
"But where's dad?" I asked because I couldn't see dad.
"Ahh, there was a case against their stakeholders here in the Philippines for a while but it will come back soon. Oh hey, Hanz is already in the living room. Be careful and go home right before twelve because that hurts your son." Mom reminded me so I nodded.
I also have a lump in my stomach because the bulge in my stomach is really not obvious yet. I went to the living room and Hanz was already there.
"Wooooh! You've become human now Wizard ahh!" I praise him.
Yes! That's how I praise him and he's used to it.
"Tskkk! My fatigue is inborn. You're the only one who's blind because your attention is always on others." Said and sighed even more.
"Tssss! This is it oh, I know you've been pogi before. I'm just kidding you ehh." I pretended to be sad and bowed even more. After a while he came up to me and hugged me.
"Ehh! I'm sorry Witch. We're fine ahh because I don't want the baby to be sad." He apologized as he hugged me so I let go and punched him.
"What was that for?" He said in shock as he shook his head and hit me.
I smiled at him pinching him on both his cheeks.
"Arayyy! You're so sadistic." He said and caressed his reddened chin.
I just laughed at him and pulled him to his car. I myself opened the driver's seat and gently pushed him inside then I turned around and then got into the passenger's seat.
"Wait! I should be the one to open for you ahh. Tssss!" He said but I just smiled at him so he couldn't do anything and started the engine.
We were just noisy while he was driving. All the corners of our car were full of quarrels because we were just being bullied. We arrived at the venue in just a few minutes.
Seriously, we were far away when I heard the party music. The Prom and Acquiantance party was even beaten by our Ball. There are also tables and of course, the dance floor will not be lost.
There is also a stage and party lights. There are also foods, buffet tyoe of menu. There's a red carpet at the door and you'll think you're at the Prom. There is also an arc with surrounding white flowers. This arc is so large that it overwhelms the arc often at weddings.
There was a lot of whispering when Hanz and I entered.
"Oh My Goshh! Is Nikita's partner different?"
"Where's Kent?"
"Halaaaa! Anyare them? Are they war?"
"Oo ata te kasi iba partner ni Nikita ehh."
I'm not a femme fatale but since Kent and I became known, I've become well known. Kent is known throughout the school because he is very handsome and smart. Campus Crush ehh but she's not a woman, JUST A HEARTBREAKER! Playing girl's heart can be a type of heartbreaking but not all heartbreaking people are women. Get that?
"I didn't know you're famous Witch. By the way who's Kent?" Hanz whispered to me so I just bowed. I saw Mara right away so Hanz and I walked closer to the table with her escort classmate.
"Who's Kent?" Hanz asked Mara when we got close to them and sat down. I just kept quiet and didn't speak anymore.
"Ahh, he's your best friend's EX-boyfriend." Mara replied so Hanz looked at me and I was shocked when he just looked at me seriously.
He brought his face close to my ear so I was scared. I stiffen in my seat.
"Is he?" He whispered in my ear and you could feel he was seriously serious. He also said coldly so I swallowed.
I knew he was asking if Kent was the father of what I was bringing.
I don"t know if I"ll tell him or not but I don"t have my own nod.
"Oh Em Gee! Is Kent's partner different too?"
"Halaaa! They're breaking up?"
"Looks like they're breaking up."
We all looked at the door at once when we heard whispers. And there, I saw Kent with Lauren.
P*ste! I hope I don't just come here.
It's been more than a month since we broke up but I'm still stuck om him. Nakakat*nga naman oh! I feel like crying again.
"Is he Kent?" I didn't look at Hanz and kept my eyes on Kent and Lauren.
Lauren is beautiful and rich. I don't have those qualities. And I can say that he is still kind so definitely, he can be considered perfect. She is still sexy in her royal blue cocktail dress that is simple enough to make her like an angel.
"He's that." I heard Hanz conclude with his own question. I just bent down and just played with my fingers. I feel like crying again. I simply wiped away my tears.
Haruuuu! It's good that my make-up is also water proof so it won't be damaged when I cry. Geeeez! It's nice that I have it, will I let it go?
Seriously Nikita? You're joking or even hurting! How stupid!
"Tsss! You're really crying Witch." I heard Hanz say and I was surprised when he put his arm around me and patted my back.
"Did you know that crying makes you look ugly?" He asked and I just continued wiping my tears with his handkerchief.
Yeahhh! I took the handkerchief he was holding earlier! Hahahahah!
"Tssss! Even if I cry until forever, my beauty still won't fade!" I will be proud of him.
"All right, you're beautiful so don't cry because I'm hurting too." He said with a smile so I frowned.
"And why are you hurting?"
"Huh? Ahh-ehhh ---- k-cause, k-your friend k-me. T-right, k-my friend m-you k-so I'm hurting d-too." He stammered.
Looks like my best friend doesn't know! Hahahahah! Her cute stutter!
"Look, Kent's sweet to the girl oh."
"What about Nikita?"
"Maybe they'll break up."
"That's why I don't see them together anymore. I'm LQ."
"Alas! I'll miss them forever."
"Is Nikita okay?"
"But there's also something new with Nikita."
"They're breaking huhuhuhu!"
I heard the women next to me say so I looked at what they were referring to. I can see how Kent introduced Lauren to their mates. She smiled a smile as well as Lauren.
"Tss, that bastard. I swear, I'll hit him." I heard Hanz whisper so I turned to him.
"Don't. Let's leave him alone." No emotion I told him. He was about to speak when we heard someone say something.
"Whaaaaaat? That's Terrence?"
"Oh My Gosh!"
"Who did he go to here with?"
I looked at the door but it was too late because I saw Terrence behind me smiling at me.
His partner is his cousin? That's why he said, he can enter.
"Nikksss!"
"Whaaaaat? Nikita's two exes, here?"
"My Gash, Gesh, Gish, Gosh, Gushh really! I'm crazy!" I heard the girls next to me say.
Is it possible to make the music even louder so that I can no longer hear what they are talking about? I'm stuck! Gossip everywhere!
"Haistt! She's not a beauty to have a really handsome bf!"
And I also have haters? Isn't that so? Even artists have bashers. But it's just that their behaviors are good for me. Haisssst!
"Don't mind them." I told Hanz because he should look at the woman nambash me.
I don"t want to be scandalous because I"m too Goddess to be scandalous! Oh okay right? That's rhyming! Hahahahah!
"Would you mind if we share table to you?" Terrence asked us and I just looked at his cousin. He just smiled at me so I smiled too. I know his cousin Ayessa but we are not close. Terrence just introduced me before ... WHEN WE WERE!
"You look wonderful tonight." He whispered in my ear and I don't know why my face is so hot now.
"Hey what are you mumbling about there?" Hanz growled at Terrence.
"No! I said you're better than him now." Terrence said and laughed out loud so we all laughed at the table.
"What? Why ----" Hanz was about to throw a glass at Terrence when I stopped him.
"Hepppp! Don't world war EWAN here at Ball Pretty Boys!" Mara said that's why Hanz just stared at Terrence.
"The real Hanz? Are you gay?" I asked but I was just really teasing.
"Because you're another one." Hanz said and pulled his arm out of my grasp.
"Kiss you like?" Hanz said with a snout.
"Ewwww! Hey Panot Wizard Crying Gay." I just told him and slapped his snout.
"Hahahahahah!" And laughter echoed at our table.
"You're Hanz Nikss's thing. Yieeeeee." Mara said with a shudder. Hanz suddenly walked up to me again.
"Sweetheart told you." Hanz said so I gave him a pompous neck.
