After years, nagbalik na ulit si kelly.  I don't know what has gotten to her mind na naisipan nyang kausapin ako dahil kung ako ang tatanungin, I don't want to talk to her. I mean yes, i have a lot of things to say from the past which she refused to listen back then, pero para saan pa? years na ang nakakaraan at untu-unti na kong nakakamove-on tas ngayon darating sya that she wants to talk?

Iniwan kami ni mommy sa sala dahil may lakad din sya at may aayusin sa negosyo. Ngayon kaming dalawa lang ni kelly ang naiwan. Walang kibuan, walang nagsasalita.

I don't want to talk either.

"Uhm, Andrei". Sa wakas nagawa na rin nyang magsalita.

Ngunt hindi ko parin sya pinansin. Nakatingin lang ako sa ibang direksyon.

"How are you? How are you now? Are you okay now?". Tanong nya. Still hindi ko parin sya sinagot.

"Look, i know I've been so judgemental noon, because i never got to listen to your side but i was just so heedful back then because it was my first time na magkaboyfriend. At gusto ko lang ingatan yung puso ko na hindi masaktan. I know i should've listen to you, and i should have trusted you but nanaig parin talaga sakin yung idea na niloko mo ko". Paliwanag nya.

"You know what kelly? Hindi kita niloko, at kahit kailan hindi ko yun magagawa. Ang masakit lang ay hindi mo ko pinakinggan, i tried to explain to you what really happened pero anong ginawa mo? Basta mo nalang akong hiniwalayan". Hindi ko napigilan na hindi makapagsalita.

"I know Andrei, It was my fault, i was unfair dahil sarili ko lang ang inisip ko. At nalaman ko ding it was just a set up. Your friend told me that. But huli na ng malaman ko, dahil nakaschedule na kami nun for a flight to China dahil naisipan ng parents kong dun nalang ako mag senior high para agad kitang makalimutan and because andun din yung business namin. Huli na ang lahat nang malaman ko Andrei, and gustong gusto kong kausapin ka nun". Hindi na nya napigilang maging emosyonal.

"Bat hindi mo ginawa?". Tipid kong sagot. Looking at her crying, feels like hard for me. Oo nasaktan nya ko pero may part parin talaga sakin na ayaw kong nakikita syang ganyan.

"Because i was guilty. Gusto kitang kausapin nun pero natakot ako Andrei, nahiya rin ako sa ginawa ko sayo. I'm sorry Andrei, I'm very sorry for what i did sana mapatawad mo pa ko". She said at lalo pa syang umiyak.

Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili kong lapitan sya to comfort her by hugging her at niyakap din nya ko pabalik. Now na narinig ko na ang paliwanag nya i think i should forgive her. And importante may natutunan kami.

If there is one thing that i learned from our relationship, is the importance of trust.

"I forgive you Kelly". Sabi ko.

Mas hinigpitan pa nya ang pagkakayakap nya sakin.

"Thank you Andrei, thank you so much". Nakangiti na nyang saad.

Kumalas na ko sa pagkakayakap sa kanya para punasan ang luha nya.

"We're fine now, at least ngayon alam mo na, na hindi kita niloko". Wika ko.
