He Got Deja Vu

Prologue

Billions of people, but I chose him. But seems the world is too unfair and against me. Because I gave him too much of myself, but he just betrayed me.

"I really think may iba siya, sis." Pagsumbong ko kay Brina, my best friend.

[Did you find any evidences, Erica?] Sabi niya sa kabilang linya.

"Wala pa. Pero iba talaga ang kutob ko, eh. Brina, help me please. I don't know what to do kung sakali mang may iba nga siya." I almost cried while saying those words. I can't imagine my man dating another girl!

[Ikaw si Erica Dimaloco pero niloloko ng boyfriend. Ano 'yun?] She laughed at her own joke. I rolled my eyes.

"Brina, I'm serious!" I hissed.

[Okay, 'wag ka mag-alala. I got you.]

"I'm sorry for disturbing you, ha." I said, trying to calm myself.

[No worries, ano ba! But.. If you want to find any evidences, you should try to check on his phone first.] Pag-iinstruct niya sa akin. Tumango naman ako at itinala 'yon sa notebook ko. [Try to check on his messages ganun. Kung sino mga kausap niya or sa messenger. Doon gumagawa ng kalandian ang iba!] She laughed.

I stopped jotting down notes, "But I think para na natin siyang tinatanggalan ng privacy." I said.

[Para rin naman 'yan sa ikakatahimik ng mga kutob or akala mo. If ayaw mo nang ganitong paraan you should talk to him, right?]

Bumuntong hininga ako, "You're right, sis. I should talk to him about sa naiisip ko. Baka dahil lang 'to sa stress or namimiss ko lang siya since busy na siya palagi at medyo nawawalan na ng oras sa 'kin unlike before." I kept my notebook and sat down at the edge of the bed.

[Okay. Goodluck, ha. Kaya mo 'yan! Just tell him the truth about what you feel para 'di laging mabigat ang damdamin mo. Kaloka ka!] Natatawang sabi niya.

I heard the main door of our unit opened. "I think he's here na, Brina. Bye na. Thanks for the time," I said before ending the call.

I go out of the bedroom and saw Jagger, my boyfriend for almost three years, removing his shoes.

"Hey.." Sabi niya nang makita ako.

I went to him and hugged him tight. "J-Jagger.." I bite my lower lip, "Na-miss kita."

He caressed my hair, "I missed you too," then kissed the top of my head. Bumitaw siya sa pagkakayakap at hinalikan ang noo ko. "What's our dinner?" he went to the kitchen. "Wow, kaldereta. Thanks, babe." He said before sitting.

I already eat. Nagutom na kasi ako kakanatay sa kaniya sa pag-uwi niya. He's a management consultant who works in many fields within the business world.

"How's work?" Umupo ako sa tapat niya at pinatong ang braso sa mesa.

"Ayos naman. Marami-raming clients ang nagpapatulong sa mga businesses nila." He looked at me and smiled. "How 'bout you, kamusta?"

"Medyo okay naman," I forced a smile.

He stopped eating and put down the utensils. He holds my hand, "Why? Is something bothering you?" Nag-aalalang tanong niya habang nakatingin sa mga mata ko.

I looked into his eyes, "Sorry, Jagger pero.." I can feel the lump on my throat. "May kutob kasi ako na.." yumuko ako, "Baka may iba ka..." I heard him laugh. Muli akong lumingon sa kaniya, "What's funny, babe?" I pout, "I just want to confirm it from you. So please magsabi ka ng totoo." A drop of tear from my eyes came down to my cheeks.
