LOVE AND MISERY

CHAPTER 3: SEBASTIAN

Sunod sunod ang mga surpresang ginagawa ko kay Sapphire these past few days, first pinuno ko ng flowers ang office niya

'Did you like it?' Tanong ko ng magsabay kami sa elevator.

'You made my office look like a funeral parlor' she answered bitterly. #FAILED.

2nd, pinadalhan ko sya ng mga paborito niyang pagkain sa bahay nila, from her favorite streetfoods like isaw, kwek-kwek and fishball to her favorite cakes, chocolates, cupcakes, icecreams and candies, her favorite wines, grapes, strawberry.

'Did you enjoyed the foods I sent?' I again asked her through phone call.

'I sent it to mama, im on a diet Seb so stop sending me sinful foods' she muttered. #FAILED

3rd, I sent her tickets to a concert of Martin Nievera. She love his songs, she could listen to him all day long.

'Did u go to the concert last night?' I texted her the morning after.

'I hate his songs now, it reminded me of our songs and I hate remembering them and you!' He replied. #FAILED

Muntik ko ng matapon sa labas ang cellphone ko. What the hell do I need to do just to win her back. Alam kong kasalanan ko lahat and i regreted it.

'You slept with someone else and you expect her to forgive you easily? Nakakastress ka' saad ni Lyka, asawa ng bestfriend kong si Liro.

'Oo nga naman pare, gago ka rin kasi' Liro added. 'Kaya ako, behave na talaga ako, diba babe'

'You better be or else ill break your neck and Ill cut your dick, get that?' Natawa ako sa saad ni Lyka. Nasa office kami and we're supposed to have a meeting pero at the end of the day ay pinagchismisan lang ako ng mag-asawa.

Maya-maya ay nagpaalam na ang mag-asawa sakin, naiwan akong nag-iisip kung ano pa ang pwede kong gawin para mapatawad ako ni Sapphire, alam kong napakalaking kagagohan ang nagawa ko sa kanya but Cheska is way too persistent, siya ang tipo ng babaeng gagawin ang lahat para makuha ang gusto niya at lalaki lang ako, sino ba namang lalaki ang hindi maaakit kung babae na mismo ang lapit ng lapit? That night that she discovered my affair with Cheska was the night that I ended up everything between us, gladly at hindi naman siya ang tipo ng babae na maghahabol pero minalas lang siguro talaga ako at nung gabing yun din nahuli ako ni Sapphire.

Sapphire and I? Well we've been together for 3 years at ni minsan hindi ko pinangarap na saktan siya, nung araw na hingin ko ang kamay niya at pumayag siya ay ang araw na pinangako ko sa sarili ko na gagawin ko lahat para mapasaya ang babaeng minamahal ko but sometimes, a guy will always be a guy. 2 weeks right after my proposal, nagpacheck up ako sa Alcantara hospital dahil akala ko nabalian ako ng mahulog ako sa site namin.

FLASHBACK

'Sige salamat.' I said after the doctor said na minor injury lang daw ang natamo ko. Palabas na ako ng hospital ng maisipan kong itext si Sapphire dahil siguradong nag-aalala na siya.

'Sir.. sir excuse me. Sir wait' im not sure it it was me but I turned around to know if someone's calling me, paglingon ko isang babaeng nakaputing pants at black tanktop ang nalingunan ko, she's tall and her hair si slightly curled.

'Yes?' I muttered.

'Hay naku buti naman at huminto ka. You drop your wallet kasi.' She said while extending her arm. I stared at the wallet.

'Im sorry, thats not mine Miss' i said and she stared with disbelief at the wallet.

'What? Naku naman, I thought its yours by the way Im Cheska' she offered her hand at dahil ayoko namang makabastos ay tinanggap ko na rin and we shook hands
