Meet Me Halfway Novels & Stories

Part of me wanted to respond, to tell him how I felt, but another part wanted to protect my heart from further pain. But then I remembered the way we’d been—how much I cared for him despite everything. Could we still salvage this? Before I could think too much, I typed back. *“Fine. Let’s meet.”* **The Meeting** We agreed to meet at a park, a neutral place where we could talk without the weight of our homes around us. When I arrived, I saw Jarren sitting on a bench, his face filled with concern and regret. “Hey,” he said softly as I approached, his eyes searching mine.

May relo naman siya pero sa akin pa tinanong. Galing! “Good, meet me at the meeting hall at 15:00 sharp. I’ll go to the Vice Chairwoman’s office, and I’ll have something to tell her. You should stay here and help the Planning Dept.” Tuloy-tuloy niyang sambit kaya hindi na ako naka-imik noong tuluyan na siyang makaalis. Tulad ng utos niya ay nagpaiwan nga ako roon. “Uy! Okay lang ba si Papa L? Parang alaws siya sa mood, dzai!” tanong agad ni Marquez.

I immediately answered the call. “Hello,” I answered in my normal business-like tone. “Good evening, Ms. Reifenstuel! I’m sorry for the short notice, but can we meet in Revel, please. It’s just in BGC.” Napakagat ako sa pang-ibabang labi. “I consider you as a friend since I met you, so please join me here.” “Okay, uhm, I’ll be right there, Ms. Villamoneva.” I heard her groan.

nabibiglang wika niya pero hinawakan nito ang magkabila niyang pisngi. "Meet me at Benny Mar's café this afternoon. 5:15 sharp." Dinampian siya nito ng halik sa labi at walang imik na umalis. Kyah!

Muntik ko na makalimutan.” ani ko pagkatanggap ko ng phone. “I'll message you na lang sa meet up place mamayang 4.” He said. Pareho kami napatingin sa ibaba nung may batang humihila sa damit ko.

But I can't tell him, especially the plan I'm about to do. "Alright, makipagkita ka sakin bukas. Let's say 3:30 in the morning, and I'll bring the things you need." Wika niya. "Just, don't tell anyone, okay?" "I won't." Sagot ko at saka siya niyakap. "Salamat." "Anytime." Sagot niya pabalik at saka tinapik ang aking likod. Moving away from the hug, he told me to meet him in a place where no people are around, and he would bring someone with him.

Nag send naman ako ng heart emoji para i-assure na hihintayin ko siya, hindi ko din kasi alam ang location ng pupuntahan naming.
