The love you never had..

Chapter 8: Let Go

Sorry naman sa Chapter 7  I must have published it twice. Also for the errors.
********************************************************************************************

I stayed in the hospital for three days because of a head injury.  There's nothing serious about it, masyado lang si mommy nag-alala sa nangyari sakin. Mavs visited me and my parents finally knew about him. I was hesitant to introduce him to my parents because I don't want them to know anything about our relationship. So they both know that he is just my bestfriend. Kung sasabihin ko kasi na friends lang kami, hindi ba parang napakashowbiz naman?

Just got home and my friends throw a welcome party for me. I was indeed surprised about it, at yun na nga muntik na ako maging drama queen dahil muntik na ako maiyak sa sobrang warm ng pag-welcome nila sa akin. Bukod pa doon, I missed my baby much as if I haven't seen her for a year. I hug her tight and so as my daughter did. I thank God I didn't die after that accident.

Bea: Mom, what took you so long to go home?  I miss you so much. (I realized no one told her about what happened)

Me: Sorry baby, mom needed to go somewhere far kasi kaya ngayon lang nakauwi but don't worry, mommy is here now to stay. I will never leave you anymore.

Bea: Is that some sort of a head dress? Why are you wearing that? It's so baduy! (she's pointing on the bandage, wrap around my head)

Me: It's a bandage baby, it's not a head dress.  Mom, bumped into something really hard, got hurt and wounded but it is almost healed now.

Bea: Does it hurt? Can you sleep with me tonight?

Me: Sure baby.

At dahil sa lambing ng munting chikiting eh I sleep beside her. Priceless moment that I realized masarap pala mabuhay..

Next morning, di pa rin ako nkakapasok sa office kasi binigyan ako ng doctor ng another week to rest. Mavs visited me in my apartment and he finally meet Bea for the first time.

Bea: Who is he mom? Are you replacing my dad's place na ba? (I forgot daddy's little girl nga pala siya)

Mavs: Hi, I'm tito Mavs. If only I met your mom first I might be your dad. Just kidding (bawi niya after I gave him a fierce look)

Me: He's visiting mom because she's sick baby.

Bea: I thought it didn't hurt na mommy? Are you alright? (sabay hawak nya sa ulo ko na may bandage)

Me: Just a little.. (sabay kindat sa bata)

Everything went well that day and even Bea enjoyed his comapany. Even Mavs quite serious which he normally does. He throw jokes sa bata na talaga namang sobrang corny at sila lang nagkakaintindihan.

Until..

He went home around 7PM but he's not texting me kung nakauwi na siya so I'm a bit worried.

Past 9PM still got no text from him. So I texted him, "saan ka na? Text me when your home."

Still no text from him.. So I called, he's not answering his God damn phone. Nakakainis! After how many texts and calls I made..

Suddenly he replied, "mi, text kita later. Here kasi si GF sa apartment. Kwentuhan kita maya." His text breaks me into pieces.

Past 12MN still no text. I decided to sleep. My phone beep and received a message. "Your unlitext has expired. Just text Unli20 to 8888 to continue the unli text offer." Shit talaga! Akala ko siya na..

The next day, I was surprised na maaga siya pumunta sa apartment kahit alam ko na may pasok siya. He looked so tired and he's eyes are so deep. I wonder what happened last night. But instead of asking him what happened di ako umimik but I waited until he bursts my bubble while wondering what he's thinking of.

Mavs: Mi, I broke up with her. She's still in my apartment. I call sick para umabsent because I don't really know what to do.

Me: How...? (nanlaki yung mata ko sa sinabi niya)

Mavs: I brought her to the park near my apartment then I told her that I'm inlove with you.

Me: What did she say about it?

Mavs: Umiyak siya tapos she said that it was okay. (I can feel his regret but yeah, di ako magpapakaipokrita, something inside me is clapping for joy)

Mavs: Momi, I think nasaktan siya ng sobra. Sa tingin mo mapapatawad niya pa ako? Sa tingin mo ba we could still be friends?

I hug him tight. I didn't say anything for a while. Then I replied, "Time will heal the wounds.. Di, darating yung araw magiging friends kayo uli."

Mavs: Hopefully..

He left and went back home around 4PM. Nagbibiruan kami sa text when suddenly he said, lalabas lang daw siya saglit ng room.

Grace: Bhe, ayaw mo na ba talaga sakin? I will do anything to win you back. Paano na yung pinagsamahan natin? Ipagpapalit mo ba yung 5 years na pinagsamahan sa 3 months niyong pagkakakilala? Actually I know her story, kilala siya sa office. She's a single mom and marami na siyang nakafling. Didn't you know na play girl yung babaeng sinasabi mong mahal mo na ngayon? Please give me another chance. We can start all over again.

Mavs: ...................
