I hope you enjoy this story. Product of my boredom and imagination.

Have you ever fell in love with a person that when they left you, you just pretended to accept it and move forward with your life?
That person just left... without a word... without even giving you any reason why they left you.
Am I not enough?
Hindi ba ako maganda?
Hindi ba ako matalino?
Does my personality sucks?
Am I too much?
Am I not worth the risk?
Huh?
But maybe that's how it goes. People come and go without a word.
There's a lot of questions inside my head.
Halo-halo.
Nag-uunahan na maisatinig pero kahit isa sa mga tanong na iyon ay hindi ko mabigkas. I don't have the guts.
I maintained a straight face as if hindi ako nasasaktan. I mastered this kind of attitude... kahit na ayoko ay pilit ko pa rin kinakaya.
Our eyes met for a while bago namin lagpasan ang isa't-isa. I almost congratulated myself for giving that blank expression towards him.
Ang galing! Parang walang nararamdaman.
I swallowed hard. Fighting the urge to look back. Kinuyom ko ang aking dalawang kamay at napansin na halos hindi ako humihinga sa mga sandaling iyon.
"Naka-move na si Agatha, oh! Dedma na, eh!" Ella laughed.
My friends noticed that I didn't react. Para bang hindi ko kilala ang lalaking nakasalubong kaya naman natatawa silang dalawa.
"Dapat lang! It was just a very short time. Sinong dadamdamin ang bagay na iyon? Duh?" tawa ni Maggie.
"Akala ko talaga hahabulin mo pa ang lalaking 'yon, eh! Buti na lang! Alam ko naman hindi mo iyon ganoon kagusto."
I didn't say anything and I just fake a smile.
I couldn't blame them that time for saying those things, for not seeing my real feelings and for thinking that what we had was just nothing... I never told them anything kaya hindi ko sila masisisi.
"Agatha! Oh my gosh! How long has it been?"
Naputol ang pagtitig ko sa larawan ng isang grupo ng magkakaibigan dahil sa tawag ng pamilyar na boses. Malaki ang ngiti niya kaya ngumiti ako pabalik.
Tuluyan ko nang nakalimutan ang nakitang larawan.
He opened his arms for a hug and I gladly accepted it.
"Keneth! I missed you!" I almost cried in his arms.
"I missed you, too! So much! Bruhang to!"
Nagtawanan kaming dalawa. I missed this guy so much! Mahigpit ang yakap ko sa kaniya. It feels like home.
"Ang gwapo mo pa din! Nakakainis!" I said dramatically nang pinutol ko ang yakapan.
Umirap siya.
I noticed a lot of changes with him. Mas lalo siyang tumangkad. Gwapo na siya noon pero mas lalo lamang siyang gumwapo ngayon. He doesn't look manly, though. Pretty boy pa rin! Ngumiti ako at bumuntong hininga.
