CHAPTER 20 - GENUINE
Greyson and Zyona finally arrived in the gas station asked for first aid kit and he bought it.
She felt better and they had a quick snack while sipping her coffee she instantly remembered...
"ow shoot! Where is my phone? Saan na?"
Greyson immediately said " wala ba sa bag mo? Wait I'll check in the car"
He found Zyona's mobile phone and pressed it if it's still ok or broken luckily it's all good but he saw in the home screen notification of 15 missed calls from an unknown number and a text message...
"hey Zyona, where u at I'm here..."
He wasn't able to read to full message because it was locked so he returned to Zyona.
" Z mystery caller mo ang dami ng missed calls may text ka pa ata"
"Ha? Sino Kaya Ito? May text ako? If I know nabasa mo na yun simula chismoso Lang!"
She opened her phone and checked her message. She's Confused yet surprised on what she read....
" Hey Zyona where you at? I'm here at your apartment waiting outside. Please return home soon or if ever you have the chance to answer my call please do so" - Ahron here.
Greyson instantly asked "Ahron? You're boyfriend I don't think you have one! Haha!"
Zyona glared back " grabe siya but true I don't have one, he's a very good friend"
Greyson joked " very good? Meron ba nun? Or nauuto mo Lang hahaha!"
Zyona defended herself " Meron si Ahron! Hindi noh whatever ginawa niya it's his decision. Bakit Kaya andito yun? Can we go home Greyson please?"
Greyson wondered "Aba nagyaya ka na umuwi ikaw ba yan? He must be special though. You're wish is my command miss!"
Zyona smiled and explained further " we can continue naman our pasyal... maybe tomorrow if you still want to, I just need to know why is he here"
Greyson teased " sus Z haha mukhang ikaw ang dapat Kong bantayan at alalayan ah Hindi ako. I want to meet this guy.Let's go home!"
He drove back thinking " he's friend from Philippines flew here in Australia and go directly to her? There's love right there"
Ahron sat down and waited in the front and talked to himself " I hope she's okay, uuwi din un Ahron chill Lang"
**** In the Philippines
Dana went to his brother's room " Kuya May tawag ka sa landline friend mo daw from embassy"
Daryl quickly get up from his bed and went to the phone " hello bro? Any update on my favor? Badly need your help"
Dana heard " haha si Kuya kahit hirap tumayo ang bilis ah... Para makapunta lang agad Australia. Oh my last day na namin bukas and in a week graduation na namin woooh! college here I come!"
He texted Kurt " anong oras ba tayo bukas? Nakalimutan ko eh see you sa school!"
After 10 minutes Kurt replied " 8 am till 12 tayo, see you don't forget to bring the slip form"
Daryl ended the call "thank you lord! Bunso ibobook ko na flight ko next week! Pupuntahan ko si ate Zyona mo"
Dana was shookt " wow! Pero next week anong date Kuya? Graduation ko sa 24."
Daryl happily said "don't worry sa 25th ako mag book ng flight"
He instantly took his laptop and checked the available flights for the 25th sadly to say there is none so he tried the other airlines still no vacancy. He started to panicked and kept looking on the other two airlines still no luck and he did call their hotline numbers "Sir unfortunately there is no available seat on the 25th. It is really hard to book a week before specially if the chosen date is on the weekends. We have availability either on the 24th and 27th onwards those are weekdays there are still few left seats for grabbed. If you insisted for the 25th you're going to be a chance passenger means there is a little chance but no assurance that someone who have reserved will cancel their reservation seats."
Daryl left no choice but grabbed the flight on the 27th but at the back of his mind "maganda Sana weekend para makausap at kasama ko agad si Zyona kesa weekday may trabaho yun. Hay basta makapunta dun at maka attend ng graduation ni Dana okay na ako.
Dana shouted " hala! Seriously ba Ito?"
Daryl asked " ano nangyari sayo dyan ?"
Dana gave her phone and showed what he saw on Facebook.
status posted 2 minutes ago
Arrived safe and excited! Currently waiting at Z's apartment ☝🏼😍 - Sydney, Australia
Daryl's face went blank after what he saw on the Facebook feed.
Dana worriedly said "the flash si Kuya Ahron andoon agad! Paano yan Kuya?"
Daryl can't contain his emotions "nag book ako ng 27 Tapos makakita ko andun yan Ahron na yan Ilang days pa ako bago makarating doon? Sobrang mapagiiwanan ako! Sobra naman struggle Ito. Pinaglalaruan ata ako ng kapalaran!"
Dana questioned him "kala ko 25 ka Aalis Kuya? Bakit 27 pa kasi..."
Daryl quickly responded " bunso wala akong choice 24 or 27 onwards lang may available mahirap magbaka sakali sa chance passenger."
They sat down and no ones talking. When their mom told them they have a visitor...
Dana smiled " Kurt ba ma? Papasukin mo na po"
"Hello Ahmmm Dana and Daryl I mean no harm..."
They are stunned and froze but they let Savannah speak.
Savannah started to explain "first of all I'm truly sorry what I acted last time, and worst yun nagwala ako. Sana naintindhan niyo na Hindi madali lahat sa akin plus sa inamin mo Daryl despite of Hindi ko naman deserve na paasahin na mahal mo ako, bakit si Zyona? So bakit mo pla ako binalikan? I must admit I'm bitchy and not as charming as Z pero kasi simula ng bumalik ako Hindi ko na kayo kilala Kaya pilit ko binalik on how I used to be na parang walang nangyari Hindi maganda dati... I want answers now, I don't want to fill myself with a lot of anger and insecurities. I'm not asking you to believe me or be on my side but thank you for listening right now."
Dana sarcastically reacted " kinabisado mo yan script mo? I'm not convince pasensya ka na ATE SAVANNAH!"
Daryl took a deep breathe "ayaw ko na Sana pag usapan yung huling nangyari, but to answer you're questions.
First Zyona is a good person, she's genuine, thoughtful and lovable.
Sino hindi mapapamahal sa kanya? Second, Pinilit ko din naman ibalik yun buong pagmamahal ko sayo kasi alam ko sa sarili ko ang laki ng kasalanan ko sayo at feeling ko in that way I can forgive myself.
And lastly, I'm truly sorry for everything but this time I just have to do what's right if it means to hurt you again. I hope this will make things better for you without me and for myself with somebody else."
Savannah bow down and started to get teary " I'll try to understand, I won't deny na Ang bigat sa part ko na hindi naging okay sa atin kahit sa second time around. If this parting ways will make you happy and at peace...I totally respect that. I just want you to know I already forgave you that's why I came back so kindly remove all the guilts and please don't get too hard on yourself. I know our little angel in heaven wants us to be fine individually." She came closer and held his hand.
Daryl felt the sincerity and asked "can I offer a hug? Thank you and again I'm sorry. Let's start new in our own journey. I wish you find love and contentment one day. And I know, we know everything will fall into place in God's plan. And you're right our little angel wants us to be better."
They hugged tighter and Dana suddenly joked " tama na yan yakapan separate ways na nga dba? Ate Savannah sorry na din and lahat ng sinabi ni Kuya I second the motion" then she smiled.
Savannah got curious " so kayo na ni Zyona? Where is she btw?"
Daryl shook his head " nope hind kami, she's in Australia right now"
Savannah shouted " WHAT?! Hindi kayo? How come? Nung time na you're in the hospital I can sense that she's somewhat into you. So Kung nasa Australia siya hahayaan mo Lang? You gotta do something! Get her unless she choose someone else."
Dana interrupted " napansin mo din na may something si ate Zyona Kay Kuya? Girl instinct! Eh naunahan na nga siya ni Kuya Ahron he's there right now... Oopsss too much information."
after a few more talks Savannah left with peace of mind and so as the siblings too. They went back on their own rooms and do their thing.
****Going back in Sydney. Finally Greyson pulled over and saw a guy in front of Z's apartment.
"So that's Ahron?"
Zyona shown a confused face "siya nga! Bakit andito siya?"
Greyson suggested "let's go and find out. Baba na dyan Z."
Ahron stood up and approached Zyona and felt a little giddy.
"Hi Z! Before you react violently I came here to see you first before heading to my place of work."
Zyona reacted with big eyes "What? Ikaw may work dito? Hay naku Ahron dito pla talaga?!."
Greyson interrupted and shook hands "Excuse me I'm Greyson twin brother of Hunter Z's ex and his boss"
Ahron smiled "I see, Ahron pare! Nice to meet you"
He added while looking at her "Zyona easy! Hindi kita sinundan dito sa Sydney, sa Brisbane ako actually pero Hindi ako magtatagal dito, just for 2 weeks lang para sa anniversary ng pinoy ofw actually nag organize kasi yun may ari ng bar sa bgc na kilala ng kabanda ko... Ako tatangi? Walang gastos, kikita ka pa bonus na lang andito ka malapit."
Zyona scrolled her eyes and then smiled felt a little better " oh well sabi mo eh para sa ekonomiya haha"
Greyson reacted happily " welcome to Australia, yun naman pala. Big deal ba yun Z?"
Zyona smirked "kinda baka mamisinterpret kasi"
Ahron laughed sarcastically " eh d isipin niya gusto niyang isipin! Pwede naman siya magtanong. Bakit bother ka Zyona?"
She stared at him then Greyson spoke "wait I don't get it? Whom are we referring to? Z?"
Ahron answered nicely "marami ata kayo hindi napagusapan sa nangyayari Kay Z bago siya umalis ng pilipinas ah or siguro pre occupied lang kayo...Btw Greyson my sincerest condolences."
Greyson seriously said "thank you! Ang hirap mawalan ng mahal sa buhay"
Ahron agreed "totoo yan pero mas mahirap ata andyan nga hindi ka naman mahal!"
Greyson nodded "sabagay may memories ka na maalala na masaya kayo but yun sinasabi mo you have a point... nakikita mo at nakakasama mo nga hindi pa din ikaw pinili."
Zyona took a deep breath "so may balak ba kayo pumasok sa loob ? Oh mag boys talk kayo dyan tss parinig pa more."
Greyson teased "affected ka masyado sa narinig mo Zyona! Kwento mo nga ano ba Meron sa pinas sino nga ba iniwan mo bukod dito Kay Ahron?"
They walked through the door and sat in the living room area.
Zyona clarified and glared at them intensely
"FYI Hindi kita iniwan Ahron nor si Daryl dahil walang tayo. I came here for work Hindi para makalimot sayo o sa kanya!
Yes I did choose but then I chose to be here Greyson knowing na this is not planned well apparently it's not!
Now whatever you want to talk about me go with it! In the first place as much as I want to justify myself I still don't need to explain to anyone of you."
Ahron felt awkward "I didn't mean to disappoint you Z I just want you to let you know I'm just nearby... So take it easy".
Greyson shook his head "Zyona I think more than me, it's you! It's better to release those hang ups in your life. Come on let's help each other here I'm like a brother to you so calm down don't take it against me what I have said earlier... Tama nga si Hunter ayaw mo nacocorner sa isang situation you tend to get out quickly by acting so suplada!" He smiled endlessly.
She walked away crankily and change her clothes.
While on the other hand Greyson and Ahron talked about music to divert that scenario.
Zyona shown a poker face " andito ka pa Ahron? You better leave may byahe ka pa to Brisbane"
Greyson asked "still not in the mood? Sabay nalang Kami aalis drop by ko na lang siya sa bus station. And forget the vacation Z let's just go back to work tomorrow."
Zyona answered " sounds good to me. Ingat kayo"
Ahron whispered "kahit galit may pa ingat kayo pa" he does high five with Greyson "women be like dude!."
They went out and locked the door while Zyona went to her pantry and saw a box of chocolates.
She smiled "ohhh I miss this which one... Hmmm I'll try this" thinking it was just plain chocolate ball but it comes with wafer, caramel and ganache inside.
The suddenly realization kicks in " yun akala mong simple lang pero yun totoo ang komplikado may iba't Ibang situation it's like this chocolate may mga different layers pag tapos na bigla mo nalang itatanong... ANO BA TALAGA GUSTO KO?". She kept on munching while evaluating herself.
She talked to herself "Maybe I should go back making a scrapbook and rewrite what matter most and whom I thankful for.... In that case I could weigh things easier and be honest. The real Zyona Dela Cruz!" A lot of things run through her mind, then she checked her IG account since most of her friends are not active except for Kurt. She saw post for few seconds ago.
GRADUATION here we come! High school life is over College life SOON!
Zyona quickly hit the like button and reacted "Hi Kurt! Graduation niyo na? congrats! The best things are yet to come! So proud of you!"
Kurt commented right away " hello my Aussie Ate!!! Haha yes graduation na namin sa 24. Thank you Uwi ka attend ka? Ayyyiee haha"
Zyona laughed but confused " Aussie ka dyan! lapit na pala make sure you look pogi haha. Welcome! Uuwi? Bakit may ayyyyiiee? Huh"
Kurt responded " lagi Kaya ako pogi! Dba? @ Dana. Don't you want to celebrate with us nila Kuya Daryl? Hehe wala Lang na miss ka niya este namin haha"
Zyona commented "hala nangdamay ka pa. Oh eh bakit may pa special mention? last mo na yan ha. Regards!"
Kurt joked " si ate hilig umiwas pero may paregards pang nalalaman haha . Sige po hope your doing well there!" she liked his reply.
Next day everything went back to normal in the office Zyona had lunch with Hershey and they talked about the wedding she attended. Greyson had a client meeting so he wasn't around.
Hershey's laughed " Zyona I really had fun on my sibling's wedding, never thought being a single will enjoy in a wedding haha you know what I mean!"
Zyona sarcastically said " no I don't haha bitterness is next to ugliness hahaha. I'm glad you do. Let's hang out some time"
Hershey smiled " sure this weekend! I heard you and our head over heels Boss went for a quick adventure? How was it?"
Zyona shared what happened and she reacted lastly "ok naman all in all kahit just a day lang yun buti nalang wala si BOSS today! Nakaka stress!"
"Aahhhheeemmm" Greyson stand behind them.
Hershey quickly said " gogood aafteernoon sure, you came back early!"
Zyona didn't turned her head.
Greyson acted cranky "what time is it? You should be back in the office lunch break is only 1 hour. You take too much time here in the pantry."
Zyona stood up " FYI sir your time is advance we still have 10 minutes to get back, My watch is the same as our bundy clock is there any more concerns?!"
Greyson looked at her " Ms. Dela Cruz see me in my office no buts no ifs!"
Hershey whispered awkwardly "ohhh owww"
Zyona raised her eyebrows and smirked while going up the elevator.
"Ano naman drama ng Greyson na ito..."
Upon opening the door...
Greyson approached Her " hey Z! Are we not good? You're starting a little weird since last night. What's the matter?"
Zyona refused " wala! Anong Meron? Am I acting weird? What for?"
Greyson laughed "you can't hide it from me... Tell me I'm not here to judge you... Let it out... Come on!"
Zyona sat down " sigh... Greyson can I just go back to my desk now? This is non sense!"
Greyson leaned over "Zyona why do you have to avoid this conversation? Ano bang problema?"
Zyona thought she can't get out unless she'll be honest "hay Greyson kasing kulit mo din si hunter... Wala naman akong problema ayaw ko Lang talaga ng confrontation that causes drama..."
Greyson insisted "sa sagot mo Kaya nagkakadrama. Bigla nagbago ihip ng hangin ng dumating si Ahron eh inaasar lang kita in short gatong lang ako kagabi. What's with Ahron ba?"
Zyona explained further "Fine, it's annoying kasi whenever may sasabihin si Ahron about love I know it's me, he's referring to... He's into me ..."
Greyson interrogated her " he's into you? I see that what I can't sense is that who you are into? And you're seems distant and affected whenever there is love involve! Your not young anymore to make things complicated to even more complicating one. BE REAL!"
Zyona rubber her hands as she felt so much tension "Greyson dito natin lahat paguusapan ito?"
He shouted "yes tell it now! "
Zyona startled "chill naman... Why suddenly you're so interested on these?"
Greyson stood up and stared badly "can you just share it stop acting so snobbish!"
Zyona revealed anxiously "I actually allowed Ahron to somehow court I entertained him but I did not go further. My mind says he's the one but my heart can't process" she looked down.
Greyson came closer "okay getting there.... So what does your heart tells you? I mean WHO?"
Zyona stood up and took a sheet of paper wrote down something and walked away.
Greyson smiled and felt relieved because he knew for quite some time.
After few days it was very busy in the office and was able to achieved their deadlines.
It's TGIF today, tomorrow is 24th and its Dana and Kurt's graduation day at 6 in the evening.
It's 7 in the evening Greyson arrived at Zyona's apartment picked her up and drove quickly to make sure they won't be late.

*Where does Greyson and Zyona going?
*Why does Ahron did not kept in touch in the past few days with Zyona?
