Knock, knock! Get the door, it's trauma!

15 months and 27 days to forget you

"W-Wyatt . . ." I felt a lump on my throat after seeing my boyfriend with another girl here in his condo. "What's the meaning of this?"

He stood up and looked at me, bewildered. "What do you mean-"

I cut him off. "What do I mean? This! The two of you together- alone!" I waved my hands in the air. "My God, Wyatt. I've only been gone for 2 freakin' months, tapos ito lang ang madadatnan k-ko?"

I bit my lip in order to suppress my tears when he looked away. His silence doesn't make things any better. I started to feel my knees getting weak.

Hindi ko akalain na sa pagbalik ko ay magagawa niya sa 'kin 'to. He promised me that he won't hurt me, at ito naman ako na naniwala sa kaniya. How stupid I am!

"P'ano mo nagawa sa 'kin 'to?" My voice turned into a whisper, barely even heard para marinig niya. Pakiramdam ko'y hindi matatapos ang usapang 'to ng hindi ako umiiyak. My eyes were now toning with tears.

"Sino siya?" Tanong ng babaeng kasama niya.

I was hoping na sasabihin niyang ako ang girlfriend niya, but my heart broke when he shook his head and replied, "Hindi ko alam."

My heart sank at hindi ko na mapigilan pa'ng umiyak. He said that with full of sincerity, na parang hindi niya talaga 'ko kilala.

First, he cheated, and now, he denies me? F*ck, we've been together for almost 6 years and kalilimutan lang niya na mahal niya 'ko?

I ran out of his condo at hindi na sila muling binalikan pa.

Days and weeks have passed. It was never easy trying to forget him. Kahit s'an man ako tumingin, siya ang naaalala ko. I try to move on, but he is still there. He kept texting me and told me to meet up, but I always ignore his messages. No one can blame me why I'm acting like this, what I saw is traumatic and made me feel like I don't want to fall in love ever again.

It was a big torture for me, but I promised myself that this pain won't be the reason for my downfall. I will be alright. I will forget him no matter what it takes. I fled off all the way to Manila, d'on ko 'pinagpatuloy ang buhay ko.

Weeks turned into months, I can say that my life is flowing smoothly. I also met this guy at work, his name is Laz. He's the one who's been there on the process of my healing, he helped me get through my deepest wounds, he never left my side and I never been so thankful.

But most importantly, Laz became the reason why I gave love a second chance. Laz became my boyfriend. He never made me doubt. I gave him my trust and I always receive honesty, I've got nothing to wish for. And after 5 years, he proposed and we got married.

I was laying my head on Laz's chest as we dance to the sweet melody. We're now in the reception and all the guest requested for a wedding dance of the newly wed couple.

My eyes were closed when I heard someone singing which made my eyelids sprung open. D'on lamang ako natauhan nang mapagtanto kung kanino ang pamilyar na boses na 'yon.

"♪Same bed, but it feels just a little bit bigger now. Our song on the radio, but it don't sound the same. When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down. 'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name♪"

I surveyed the whole place and my orbs landed on him. He was holding a microphone, singing in front with full of emotion. Everyone in the room were staring at him, asking why he's singing a sad song, but no one had the courage to stood up and stop him.

"♪It all just sounds like ooh, ooh ooh hoo hoo. Mm, too young, too dumb to realize that I should have bought you flowers and held your hand. Should have gave you all my hours when I had the chance. Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do was dance♪"
