Epilogue

-----

"LJ! Break na kayo ni Diana?!"

I closed my eyes upon hearing someone's question. Ni hindi ko nga maalalang close kami para itanong niya 'yon sa 'kin. I couldn't help but get annoyed that people want to get answers from someone who isn't even close with them. Masyadong feeling close. Masyadong feeling comfortable.

Hindi ko pinansin ang taong nag-tanong dahil ayokong pag-usapan ang tungkol sa bagay na 'yon. Diana broke up with me because she told me how frustrating people are. Pakiramdam niya raw, wala siyang kwenta kung hindi ako ang boyfriend niya. In order to get herself back, she ended our relationship which I understand. Ang hindi ko maintindihan ay ang mga pictures at messages na natatanggap ko mula sa kung sino na hindi ko kilala.

The photos were Diana looking at a certain man. Sa bawat pictures, nakatitig lang si Diana sa lalaki. Kilala ko ang lalaking palagi niyang tinitingnan dahil isa 'yon sa mga ka-teammate ko sa soccer team, Amari Espina. He's one of the best players we have in our team. I heard that he'll be our team captain next year.

I don't know what I should feel when I realized what the photos are about. I just realized their meaning when I saw with my own eyes how Diana looked at Amari. She looked at him the way she looked at me before. I felt my heart crash while watching Diana look at Amari who looked back at her. My eyes formed tears when I saw how bright the smile that Diana gave Amari who smiled back at her before heading towards his department.

I was about to turn my back against them when I saw how Diana ran towards Amari. She followed him. He noticed. He slowed down walking to wait for her. They started talking while still on that spot. Diana looked happy with him. She looked comfortable. She looked carefree. They look good together.

I let out a heavy sigh before walking away from them, feeling defeated. Akala ko pa naman... pagkatapos ng ilang linggo, pwede pa kami. Pero mukhang may iba na siyang gusto. May iba ng mahal.

I was ready to give up. I was ready to let Diana be with Amari because her happiness is my happiness, but fuck everything! I just realized that most of the photos of Amari and Diana together that the unknown person sent me were taken when Diana and I were still together. The photos were showing how Diana cheated on me with Amari. That fucking asshole!

"What? She did?" Eman reacted upon hearing what Diana had been doing when we were still together.

"Are you sure, LJ? Baka naman nagkakamali ka lang?" Toshi asked while drinking his water.

"Toshi, I'm so fucking sure that Diana cheated on me with Amari. Why do you think she wanted to break up with me? Because she's in a relationship with that bastard!" I hissed, feeling frustrated and devastated at the same time.

Those words... I hope I didn't say them because someone heard me and spread it at our school. Lahat sila, alam ang mga sinabi ko. I didn't mean to spread it, but it did. Gusto ko lang naman ilabas ang nararamdaman ko sa mga kaibigan ko pero hindi ko alam na sa pamamagitan nito, ang pag-kalat ng issue na 'yon.
