Truth Hurts
"Joshua!" She called me that makes my head turns back. Napailing na lamang ako at hinintay siyang makalapit sa akin.
"Anong atin Liel?" I asked her even though I know what's already in her mind.
She will confess again, I know.
"Do I really haven't a chance?" She strongly spoke. This is why I admires her-but not in a way of love. I admires her kasi ang tapang niya when it comes to confession.
Maybe, she's the right girl who came in a wrong time. Kahit anong gawin ko ay hindi ko siya magugustuhan and I feels pity for it.
"You're beautiful, kind at lahat ng gusto ng lalaki-"
"Stop, ilang ulit ko na iyang narinig e. Pero kung ganun, bakit ayaw mo pa rin ako?" I gulped twice and hold her hands.
"Liel, hindi ka mahirap gustuhin sadyang hindi ka lang talaga pinili ng puso kong mahalin niya. Hindi kita ayaw okay? I like you as a good friend. I'm sorry," narinig ko siyang suminghot at bahagyang pinahid ang luha niya. Geez!
"Ang sakit mong magsalita, promise. Kitang-kita ko nga na hindi nga." Medyo patawa pa niyang wika. Bakit ba kasi ako pa ang gusto niya?
"Truth hurts at ginawa ko lang ito para hindi ka na umasa pa. Madami pang lalaki sa mundo na puwede mo pang mahalin Liel. You deserve to be loved." Pilit siyang ngumiti and I tapped her head.
"Alis na ako ha? Ingat ka and I'm sorry." Aalis na sana ako nang hinawakan niya ang isa kong kamay. Lumingon ako sa kaniya and she smiled at me genuinely. Medyo gumaan ang aking pakiramdam dahil sa kaniyang ngiti.
"Hindi mo kailangang mag sorry, wala kang kasalanan." Tumango lang ako at tuluyan na siyang iniwan.
Choose to hurt someone honestly than to mislead them with a lie. Choose to confess your real feelings to someone than to make them fall and fall with your sugar-coated but fallacy words and actions. They deserve to be loved not in pain because of dishonesty.
