Eisen
"Congratulations, Engineer Ferrer" I just smiled and looked at the phone when they greeted me.
Why is she not answering her phone. Kanina pa ako nagtetext at tumatawag, binabalak ko na rin ang bumyahe ngayon kung hindi pa sya sasagot. Damn I'm whipped
I waited for her text till midnight, kung babyahe ako ngayon ay baka magulat. I don't want to look possessive, ayokong masakal ito. That is the very last thing I want, kaya kahit gustong gusto ko ng umuwi pinigilan ko
Just one text from you baby. Come on.. Nang wala parin, that's it babyahe ako
I took the key from the wall and picked up the wallet from the table. I want to see her. Nang papaandarin ko na ang sasakyan ay saktong pagtunog ng phone
Celestine my baby:
Sorry nagreview ako kaya hindi ako nakapagreply, how's your day?
Just then I removed my car key. Sinandal ko ang ulo sa manibela at tinitigan ang text na galing sakanya. Damn Eisen, calm yourself!
Walang ano kong ginulo ang buhok at lumabas ng kotse. I need to finish this project as soon as possible. Pagkatapos ay magreresign nako at magpopokus sa sariling firm, that's the plan. This will be my last project
I waited for her for years, and I spent years just gathering the courage to fight for her. I first met her when I was in grade ten with my ex Danica. The moment I saw her lying with her sister arms unconscious and looking so frail, I knew I had lost it.
Maingat ko syang binuhat pagkarating ng ambulasya, ayaw ko pang bitawan ng marinig ang mumunting hikbi nya bago tuluyang mawalan ng malay. Since then, I've felt compelled to look after her
Her pale skin, black long hair, her innocent eyes yet so firm, her pink lips and everything about her that night, I remember. Ang makita sya sa ganong lagay ay halo halong emosyon
"Let's break up, Eisen" Danica said. I stared at her in awe.
"I don't feel anything for you, I want to end this" She said. Wala akong naramdaman kakaiba ng marinig ko ang sinabi nito, she wants out, hindi ko sya hinabol, I let her
I was confused with what I felt, wala akong naramdamang kahit ano ng sabihin nya ito, dito ako nagsimula matakot. I try to pursue her again just to confirm my feelings, we've been in a relationship for two years, how come I'm not afraid to lose her?
"Pasmado ka?" She asked sounded like teasing me. Mabilis kong binawi ang pagkakahawak ng kamay sa kamay nya, but she holds my hands tightly to check again
Kakatapos lang ng debate, kung alam ko lang na sya ang mismong makakatapat una palang sana ay umatras na ko. Competition is not my thing, but when I see her participating, I want to join as well.
"I'm not, baka ikaw" I said sounded defensive. I just want to prove that I'm really not
"Then why does it feel cold? kabado ka?" She teased again. I was amused by her kaya hinayaan ko lang ito sa hinala, seeing her reaction is something I want to see always
Ang mga mata nyang matapang at malalalim kung tumingin, na gugustuhin mo na lang umiwas wag lang mapaso sa mga tingin. Madalas wala syang reaksyon,madalas wala syang pakialam sa paligid. And seeing every reaction she made makes me crave for more
Every time I see her walking with no reaction I feel like I want to do something. She was fierce and hard to untame. Ang hirap pasukin ng mundo nito, she's studious and I'm not, but not until she came
Pagkabalik ko mula sa ibang bansa, desidido akong umulit ulit ng dalawang taon. I ended up in grade ten supposedly last year of my senior year. My father can easily pull some strings with my school year absences but I stopped him when I saw her name same to my class
