I didn't had any sleep at all. nakatingin lang ako kay Yvo sa tabi ko habang siya ay tulog na tulog. My tears kept on running down on my cheek. I have asked myself this for a long time - why the hell did I even hurt him? I miss my old Yvo - the one whon was always smiling at me. Iyong Yvo na mahal ako at iyong Yvo na minahal ko. Mahal ko pa rin siya. Kaya lang, puro galit ang nakikita ko sa kanyang mga mata. Kung sbagay ay galit din ako sa sarili ko dahil sa nangyari sa aming dalawa. I could've chosen him. I could've have had the ending I deserve with him. Siguro maniniwala ako sa forever dahil sa kanya. Pero binali ko ang paniniwalang iyon dahil sa pamilya ko.
I just sighed. Tumayo ako upang ayusin ang sarili ko. I wanted to stay but I don't know if he'll be pleased to see me the moment he wakes up. Wala naman akong karapatang hintayin siyang magising. If he really wanted to talk to me, iyon sana ang ginawa namin at hindi ito. I sighed again. Aaminin ko na naging masaya naman ako sa ginawa namin. I have missed him. Gusto ko siyang makasama. Siguro, isa ito sa mga bagay na itatago ko kasama ng magagandang alaalang iniwan niya sa akin noon.
I took a shower and left. It's four in the morning and I still want to be with him pero wala akong karapatan. Umalis ako sa unit ni Yvo. Wala naman akong taxi na makita kaya naglakad na lang ako palayo. I felt like a woman walking the walk of shame after a very steamy one night stand. I was just trying to figure out why he did that - why we did that? Why? I'm a married woman - still in love with him and he's a man full of anger. Kahit napakahirap tanggapin ay iyon lang naman ang meron si Yvo para sa akin. Kahit na gaano ko siya kamahal, galit siya sa akin.
Galit lang ang meron siya.
I found myself entering a convience store. Doon ako naupo at nanahimik. I was in shock. Dapat naman ay hindi na ako magtaka o manibago sa nangyayari. Mahal ko si Yvo at alam kong kapag nagkita kami ay ganito nga ang mangyayari. Kahit ilang beses akong makipagtalo sa sarili ko, alam kong mahal ko pa rin si Yvo Consunji. I felt like crying. I had years to forget him. Pero hindi ko nagawa. Iyong pagmamahal ko para sa kanya, lalo lang tumindi, hindi nga nabawasan, nadaragdagan lang.
Nag-angat ako ng ulo nang mapansin ko ang isang babaeng makapal ang salamin na naupo sa tabi ko. May dala siyang hotdog sandwich at slurpee. Her eyes were bloodshot red and her nose were swollen. She looked at me. I smiled.
"Broken hearted?" I asked. Kinuha ko ang tissue sa tabi ko at ibinigay iyon sa kanya.
"Friendzoned." Wika naman niya. "Ikaw?"
"Insanely and desparately wanting to be loved back." Naramdaman kong tumulo ang luha ko. "Komplikado kasi. Nagmahal ako, minahal ako, pero iniwan ko para pakasalan ang taong pinili ng magulang ko para sa akin. Now I'm trapped between the choice I made and the love I feel for him. Loving him makes me weak and crazy and desparate and I know that I'm not going to be better until he loves me back again."
Nang tumingin muli ako sa babae ay nakita kong tumutulo na ang sipon niya. Binigyan ko siya ng tissue - suminga naman siya doon. She looked pretty watsed for me. But then, who am I to judge? I look okay but deep inside there's chaos inside of me.
"Ako friendzoned. Sampung taon na kaming magboyfriend - iyon pala ako lang ang nag-iisip na kami. Friends lang daw kami. Putang inang friendship iyan! May best friend na ako! Tama na iyon!"
We both sighed. Love makes people desparate.
Matapos ang usapan namin ng di-kilalang babae ay umuwi na ako sa bahay. Past six na ako nakarating sa mansyon ni Sebastian. I was wishing that he's still asleep. Pero nang makapasok ako sa loob ay nakita ko siyang nagbabasa ng broad sheet habang umiiom ng juice sa sala. Ibinaba niya ang dyaryo at saka tiningnan ako. He smiled at me.
"Hindi ka umuwi kagabi, Thea, saan ka galing?" He asked. I stood there like an idiot. I was thinking of how badly I cheated on him. He doesn't deserve to be cheated on. He is a good husband. He provides for me and my family but then, I cheated on him with my ex who doesn't feel anything for me but anger. Gusto niyang gumanti sa akin. Pagmumukhain niya akong tanga, sasaktan, iiwan sa huli at alam kong hindi tama iyon pero kapag iniisip ko, all I could think about was how much I deserve that.
