My Clarity not a Tragedy (A Sandro Marcos Fanfiction)

CHAPTER 4

Kalixta's POV

He's back!

I don't know what to do. I can't move my feet and my chest tightened. Kahit na naluluha na ako, I still managed to look away and run towards our table.

Celestine looked at me confused.

"Teh? Anyare sayo?" She utter and halatang-halata sa mukha nya ang gulat at lito.

"H-he's here." Nauutal na ako.

"Sino? Si Sandro?" She said at nagawa pa niyang tumawa sa akin.

"No! Charles is back!" As soon as I said that, her mouth parted. Her eyes immediately wandered around the restaurant and stopped when he finally saw him.

"Omoo! I think...we.... need to go! He's coming in our direction. Bilis" Sabi nya at agad na tumayo.

Syempre ako rin. Pagkasabi ni Tine nun, dali-dali akong tumayo at kinuha ang bag ko. Balisang-balisa ako habang naglalakad kami ni Celestine.

She was holding my right hand habang ako ay nakatingin lang sa ibaba. I don't want to look up kase baka sa pagtingin ko, mukha ni Charles ang makikita ko.

Nakahinga ako ng malalim nang makalabas na kami sa restaurant. Dumeretso kami sa sasakyan ni Celestine.

She opened the door for me and I went inside. Tulala pa rin ako sa nangyayari. Hindi ko inaasahan ang pagtatagpong iyon.

Charles is my ex-boyfriend. We were together for 4 long years. High school pa lang ako ng makilala ko si Charles. We were at the same school but I am on the first section and he was on the 2nd. We were very happy back then. Alam ng family ko ang relasyon naming dalawa and it went so smooth. Alam din ng family nya ang about sa aming dalawa pero hindi ako sure kung tanggap ba nila ako or hindi kase I can see that they're just faking everything in front of me.

We encountered a lot of hardships and problems but we overcome it together. I am happy with him and he was happy with me too. Not until one day, I told him that I will be studying abroad. At first, hindi sya pumayag kase malayo daw pero dumating ang ilang araw ay napapayag ko na rin sya.

My first 2 months in New York went well. We still have communication and our relationship went smoothly. But one day, everything changed. Hindi na sya tumawag sa akin, hindi na sya nagparamdam. Nalaman ko nalang na he went to Canada with his parents para doon na mag-aral.

Hindi ako nasasaktan na pumunta sya ng Canada without telling me, what hurts me the most is the fact that he went to Canada not only for his studies but also to meet the girl that his parents wants him to marry.

Malapit na kasing ma-bankrupt ang company nila noon and the only one who can save their family's business is yung ka partner nila na businessman who was living in Canada.

Kaya yun ang kasunduan ng dalawang pamilya. They will save their company's name but they will let Charles marry their daughter. Oh diba? They were like living their life on Wattpad world.

I was so devastated when I heard that from Charles' cousin. I spent my nights in New York crying and crying hanggang sa wala ng mailabas na luha ang mga mata ko.

Ilang buwan din akong sobrang wasak. Until one time, nagising nalang ako na parang na i-immune na ang puso at isip ko sa sakit. Unti-unti ko nang natatanggap na wala na talaga. He is not my end game.

I kept myself busy and put all my attention to my studies kaya luckily I graduated with flying colors. Unti-unti ko na ring nakalimutan si Charles and nawawala na rin yung sakit.

Not until today.......

Parang bumalik ang lahat. Ang sakit. Ang kirot. Ang hapdi. Bumabalik lahat!
