THIRD PERSON

Claire was walking towards the playground kung saan sila dapat magkikita ni Kyle para mag-usap. Sa totoo lang kinakabahan siya sa maaaring mangyari but she just chose to go with him para na rin maging malinaw na ang lahat sa kanilang dalawa.

She could still remember nung hindi pa alam ng parents ni Kyle ang tungkol sa kanila, palagi silang pumupunta dito para patagong magkita.

Everything just flies too fast at heto sila ngayon. Wanting the closure why they broke up.

❝Did I made you wait?❞ napalingon sa likod si Claire nang makarinig siya ng pamilyar na boses.

❝No, I just got here a few minutes ago❞ nakangiting sambit ni Claire.

Kyle pointed the swing inviting her to sat on it habang nag-iisip ng sasabihin si Kyle at simulan ang page-explain niya.

❝How are you? It's been a while❞ panimula ni Kyle. She just nodded at marami na rin ang nangyare.

❝Okay naman. Kayo? Baka magalit na naman sakin si Eunice ah❞ natatawang sambit ni Claire.

❝I already talked to her. And sorry about what she did on the party the last time❞ napatango lang si Claire at ngumiti.

She honestly don't know what to react and say right now. It was just she feels awkward.

❝Claire, I loved you❞ napatigil sa pag-swing si Claire dahil sa sinabi ni Kyle. She doesn't know why she doesn't feel excited anymore.

Habang dati she would really die para lang marinig ang mga salitang yan mula kay Kyle but this time just feels... Normal?

Before she could even feel her heartbeat na parang may nagkakarerang isang daang kabayo sa loob nito but this time was different and didn't felt the same.

❝Eunice and I were stuck in a marriage we both don't want❞ nakita niyang napangiti ng mapait si Kyle.

Nakaramdam siya ng guilt for always thinking that Kyle didn't really cared for her. But she could understand everything were slowly.

❝We just met last year, naalala mo yung hindi kita nasipot sa 11th monthsary natin. I am really for that also, Claire. Hindi ko sinabi sayo lahat because I'm afraid na masaktan kita pero mas nasaktan kita nung huli mo ng nalaman❞ she was just looking at him badly.

She was busy ranting about him and how he treat her shit pero hindi niya alam na may mas pinagdadaanan pala sa kanya si Kyle. She just really feel bad for him.

❝I should've just become honest to you. I've already caused you a lot of pain❞ she could feel her tears building up. She really felt sad for him.

❝Kyle, I'm sorry❞ she started. Kyle just smiled at her reassuringly.

❝I have been running away from you without knowing your pain. I'm sorry, ako dapat yung nasa tabi mo but I just ran away from you. I'm sorry❞ Kyle reached for her hands.

❝No need to be sorry, Claire. Besides, we both like each other now. Pakiramdam ko naging gago rin ako sayo. I fell for the woman I shouldn't fall in love with❞

❝Besides, ayoko na ring guluhin pa ang buhay mo. I have caused you a lot of pain and trouble ayoko nang madagdagan pa yun. I hope we can already both move on. I want to clear things out between us because it feels like killing me sa tuwing naiisip kita, Claire❞

❝Don't worry about me, I have already moved on, Kyle❞ hindi niya rin sure sa sarili niya if she had really moved on pero sapat na rin na ebidensya na wala na siyang natitirang galit pa kay Kyle and she doesn't feel anything anymore.

She just felt like being freed from the past she had been thinking and locking herself to.

❝So can we be at least friends? Besties?❞ she immediately chuckled on how he pronounced the 'besties' part.

❝Why not? Basta invite niyo ko sa kasal niyo ah❞ they both laughed at each other's jokes.

Aaminin niyang it really feels great that she had already let go everything about the past now. A new life to start with.

❝Nga pala, kamusta kayo nung Managing Editor?❞ her eyes widened nang ma-open ni Kyle about that person.

❝Namumula ka. Type mo 'no?❞ pang-aasar ni Kyle sa dalaga.

❝G-gago hindi. Saka okay naman siya, ewan. Bakit ba ako tinatanong mo?❞ nauutal na sambit nito saka iniwas ang tingin nito kay Kyle.

❝Akala ko naman jowa mo na yun❞ Claire felt like choking on her own saliva dahil sa sinabi ni Kyle.

❝F-friends lang kami nun! Issue ka rin eh. Para kang sila Kyline❞ Kyle laughed.

❝Lols di kaya gusto ka nun, Cleng?❞ sambit nito calling her with her nickname.

❝Gusto mong upakan kita? Saka bakit ba napunta yung usapan ha?❞ inis na sambit nito saka tinignan ng masama si Kyle.

❝Tapos na ako, dapat ikaw naman. Saka alam mo ba? Naalala mo yung nag-dabog siya nung nakita niya tayong magkausap. Malinaw na malinaw, Claire. Type ka rin nun. Anong pangalan nun? Park Sungjae? Sungmin?❞

❝It's Park Sunghoon❞ the girl corrected. Napatingin sa kanya ng makahulugan si Kyle.

❝See? You two are meant to be❞ biro ni Kyle.

❝Ewan ko sayo baliw ka na❞

Meanwhile, Sunghoon was happily walking towards the park since may usapan silang dalawa ni Claire na magkikita sila ngayon.

Balak lang ni Sunghoon umamin sa kanya ngayon. He was really nervous at hindi niya maimagine kung anong itutugon ni Claire sa kanya.

He was finally reaching the playground nang may marinig itong pamilyar na boses mula sa malayo.

He walked more closer sa pinanggagalingan ng boses. As he saw the person talking, hindi niya alam kung ano ang dapat niyang maramdaman.
