Pagsibol (Munimuni Series #4)

Chapter 29

Chapter 29

Everyone has their own weaknesses in life. Some of us haven't discovered it yet, but many of us have already experienced it. And that includes me.

Some people believe that weakness is a show of failure. However, this is not the case. Because our weaknesses just indicate that we are vulnerable. If you don't have any weaknesses, you aren't a human. It doesn't matter if it's a major or minor weakness.

I was wandering around the road. Finding for myself because I have lost it since he left me. I'm now not able to find myself. My real me.

As I walked on the road, I realized that our life is like the road. Life is just like a road, through ups and downs… you will remain there. Even if you lose yourself in the middle of your battle, you will be able to conquer it if you're going to move forward in your life.

Why did he leave me? Didn't he promise me that he wouldn't leave me no matter what happens?

Now, I believe that all promises are meant to be broken. There's nothing predictable in this world. I didn't even think that… we're going to break up… in just a snap.

Sometimes, I think that maybe… I don't deserve to be happy. But then, I don't want to think about that anymore. Because everyone deserves to be happy. Doesn't mean you have your problems in life, you will think that you don't deserve to be happy anymore.

As the years have passed, I truly find myself.

Nakaupo ako sa tapat ng condo ni Kyler habang hinihintay siya rito. Kahit na ilang beses niya akong ipag tabuyan, hinding hindi ako titigil hangga't hindi kami nagkaka ayos.

I remember what he said the other day. He's breaking up with me? No! Sinong maniniwala sa kanya? He's just saying that because he's full of emotion.

Nagulat ako nang makita si Kyler na akay akay na naman ng isang babae. And if I'm not mistaken, this was the girl that I saw the last time Kyler was brought here, drunk.

"I'm Elaine, Ash's girlfriend." pakilala nito sa'kin. "I remember you. You're in his condo, right? Are you his cousin? Sister? Or… maid?"

Kinuyom ko ang kamao ko. Hindi ko alam kung maniniwala ako sa sinabi niya. But… Ash. Iyon ang sinabi niyang pangalan. Meaning… siya ang girlfriend ni Ash, ang second personality ni Kyler.

I don't know what to feel. Nanatili lang ang titig ko roon sa babae. Akmang lalapit na sana ako kay Kyler nang agad ako nitong tinulak palayo.

"Leave! Don't disturb me and my girlfriend, okay?" malakas na sabi nito.

"You heard that, right? Leave." Elaine said, smirking.

I gritted my teeth. "Hindi ako papayag! If Kyler has already back on his senses, paniguradong itataboy ka din niya!"

"What are you saying? Just leave and give us some privacy." si Elaine.

Umiling ako. Hinila ko si Kyler palapit sa'kin pero muli ako nitong tinulak. This time, tumamba na ako sa sahig. He didn't even help me to stand up. He didn't even look at me. Instead, he just continually walks with that girl.

Hindi ako pumayag. I fall for a second, but that doesn't mean that I'm not going to stand up.

They said, if you fall, learn to stand up straight and act like nothing happens.

"Kyler, you're not in your senses! Don't bring that girl to your condo!" sigaw ko.

Hindi ako nito pinansin. Pinigilan ko silang dalawa na pumasok sa pinto hanggang sa narinig ko ang malakas na sigaw ni Kyler— ni Ash.
