Chasing The City Boy

Chapter 24

I was so deep in my thoughts na di ko na namalayang may nakabunggo pala ako, and when I lifted my eyes to see the person ay umawang ang labi ko.

"Bryson" Mahinang sambit ko sa pangalan niya. He's here, and I've already made up my mind sasabihin ko na ang mga problema ko. It's now or never.

"Bryson there's something I need to-"

"Let's break up"

My eyes widen with what he said. Break up?

"I-i'm sorry I think I misheard" Sabi ko sa kanya. Habang tintigan ang kanyang mga mata nakaramdam ako ng takot, his eyes... his eyes were different. It was cold...... there was no love, no passion. He looked at me like I was no one....

"I said let's break up" My heart fell when I heard him say it the second time again. This time it was louder more clearer... I shook my head and looked at him confused.

"Huwag kang mag j-joke" Sabi ko sa kanya habang piniplit na wag umiyak. My vision was blurry from all the unshed tears.

"I'm not joking" he said to me while not breaking eye contact. I know that he was serious, he never jokes about stuff like these because he considered 'this' as a serious topic...

But why? Was all the time he spent with me... meant nothing? Bakit? I don't understand why of all times... now when I needed him the most.

"I don't understand? Bakit may na gawa ba akong mali? And if that's the case then mag babago ako! I can change! I can be more timid or bold if you like!" Kumbinsi ko sa kanya.

"Eury" pumikit siya.

Eury? Bakit hindi na Zubiri ang tawag mo sa akin Bryson, Hm?

Bakit Eury na? Gusto kong mag makaawa ngunit gusto kong ring sigawan siya sa dahilang bakit hindi na Zubiri ang tawag niya sa akin. I didn't know that just because of a name i'll hurt this much.

"It's just that this..This relationship is not working for me, I'm graduating and you're... y-you're distracting me I can't concentrate if we keep this relationship." He sighed.

My tears kept coming as I listened to him. I'm distracting him? I have never thought of that way, I wasn't a needy person, I wasn't a clingy girlfriend, but I do call him occasionally I didn't know that it was affecting him.

"I can stop! Hindi na ako tatawag! Hindi na ako mag papasundo sa gate, you can stop doing things that can make you distracted! Just p-please don't break up with me" I pleaded my whole face is wet because of the tears that won't stop falling.

He stared at me as if I was joking, I tried to touch him pero umilag siya. "Eury! Are you hearing yourself right now?!" Napa taas ang boses niya he was trying so hard to keep his emotions at bay.

"We are not going to work! You and I are not good for each other, this- this love isn't healthy we are both hurting each other! Do you understand that?!" Sigaw niya sa akin, I cried harder not minding the people that were staring at us.

This love isn't hurting me, you are. I wanted to say but I kept my mouth shut.

Napahilamos siya sa kanyang mukha before he stared at me intently, there was something in his eyes that I can't pinpoint.

"Eury... this isn't also easy for me okay? But we need this, you need this. So please lets just break up, lets not make this any harder" he said bago siya tumalikod, pero pinigilan ko siya, I held onto him.

"N-no! Please huwag wag kang makipag break up sa akin, please! Pag usapan natin 'to!" I said desperately. He turned back to me and held me on the arm with both hands.
