Where Do Broken Hearts Go?

Never Be Lost

I can't believe we met again, Epilogue.

EPILOGUE

"Congrats on successful project, Engineer Lincoln!"

I smiled at my teammates. After half a year with that project, we finally finished it. Now, we're just waiting for its grand opening. I just thanked them before going home.

How is he doing now?

That's the question I'm always asking on the air. Is he good? Did he already eat? Is he tired already? Is he still crying?

I missed him so much.

There are no time when I wouldn't think of him. Kahit sa pagkain, iniisip ko pa rin siya. That's kinda exaggerated but that's what I feel.

Ever since I landed on Singapore, I tried looking for him. I never stop hoping that maybe one day, our path will cross again. That maybe someday, I can stare at his face again, even from afar.

But when those 'someday' came true, I feel like all my courage left the hell out of me.

"Hi, do you need any help?"

It should be a normal day for me to go to the grocery store. While I was walking to the parking lot, I saw a man who looks like having a hard time with his car. My brows furrowed before deciding to approach him, not really expecting that it'd be Callan.

He changed a lot. He looks taller now, and his hair is more shorter than before. He's still on his usual glass and his usual serious expression.

I had to look away when I remembered what I did to him before. But I don't want to leave him like this so I ask again if he needs help.

"No." I tried to conceal the pain I felt when I heard his voice. It was plain, an emotionless voice.

Damn, I miss him that much, I wanted to cry and hug him tight.

He left after that to look for a car. I wanted to offer him a ride but I stopped myself. I wanted to help him he was the one who stopped me.

Pinanood kong umalis ang sasakyan na nakuha niya pero hindi ako umalis sa puwesto ko. I watched his vehicle, thinking that someone might robbed him.

I called someone who can fix his car because I don't want him to be stress because of this. After that, I thanked the one who fixed it and gave him a tip which somehow made him smile.

I stared at his car with a smile on my face but I hid it immediately so the people here won't look at me like I am some sort of crazy man.

"Can you please tell this man that you summoned me to get your car?"

I was embarrassed that time, and was hurt. Kendric get his car and I was left there, trying to calm myself. What is their connection? I can fucking get his car but why did he called Kendric instead?

I accepted a project near his working place. Gusto kong natatanaw siya kahit sa malayo lang. Kahit makita lang siya kaya kahit hindi gan'on kalaking project 'to, tinanggap ko pa rin.

I was glad when I learned that he used to eat on the eatery just below their building. I can see him every lunch, I can even try to talk to him.

"Wala ka bang trabaho?"

"Hmm, meron."

"Ako din."

I can't deny the fact that everytime he ignores me or turned his back, I was hurt. Pero tinatanggap ko lahat 'yun. I hurt him before, so I understand where he is coming. I deserved his anger.
