Build Me Up, Engineer (Dream Series #1) [BL]

EPILOGUE

"What do you want to talk about?"

She sipped on her coffee before speaking. "I'm glad that you came, Engineer Asuncion." Akala niya siguro nakalimutan ko na ang paninira niya sa relasyon namin ng ex ko, 3 years ago. Though it's no longer a big deal for me, hindi ko pa rin maiwasang makaramdam ng inis sa tuwing nakikita ko siya. "I'm sorry for everything I've done wrong."

She stared at me for a long time until she herself averted her gaze and smiled a bit.

"I'm leaving," I stared at her for a long time as she took a deep breath. "Sumama na si daddy sa kabit niyang... bakla. Wala na akong magagawa, tanggap ko na rin actually." She looked at me again and smiled more nicely. "I'm telling you this because I want you to know that I am genuinely apologizing for all the hurtful things I've said and also for ruining your relationship with Artwil."

Naging malamig ang tingin ko sa kaniya matapos niyang banggitin ang pangalang 'yon.

"And besides, I'm leaving, I'm moving to New Zealand with my mom, nakipagkita ako sa 'yo dahil gusto kong mapatawad mo muna ako bago ako umalis. Jethro... I'm very sorry, I'll wait 'til you finally forgive me." She bowed her head.

"Nikki," she looked up at me when I mentioned her name. "It's been a long time, let's forget what happened and besides, I forgive you."

She cried. Maybe she has been harboring the guilt she felt for a long time that's why she's emotional. "Thank you, Jethro."

I returned to the company immediately after that meeting. I forgave her, I mean it. Naisip ko rin na panahon na sigurong magpatawad at kalimutan ang past pero lagi akong talo pagdating kay Ruru. Hayst... I miss that tiny one. Nasaan na kaya siya? For sure nagtatrabaho sa isang company, gaya ko. Hindi ko pa siya nakikitang naka office attire, gano kaya kalaki ang pinagbago ng physical appearance niya? I wonder.

"Hoy... anlalim naman ata ng iniisip mo, Engineer." Biglang sulpot ni Jared, hawak-hawak ang hard hat niya. "Babae na ba 'yan? Marami akong marereto sa 'yo kung gusto mo." Kumindat pa siya sa 'kin na parang tanga.

"Stupid," tinalikuran ko siya at napagdesisyunang puntahan ang lugar na nagpapakalma ng isip ko. nagpaalam ako kay Dad at mukhang busy nanaman silang dalawa ni Tito Rich sa flirty stuffs nila, tsk! Kung meron lang talaga ako, mas hihigitan ko pa kayo.

I went to the beach that is not very well known to the public, this is also where my most unforgettable memories happened with him. Ayan ka nanaman Jeko, iniisip mo na naman siya.

I remained silent as I walked towards the beach, it was almost dark when I got here. Kamusta na kaya siya? It's been 6 years since we broke up, at hanggang ngayon hinahanap-hanap pa rin siya ng puso ko. What the fuck? Jeko... you must have forgotten about him, he definitely has a new boyfriend. Hindi ka na dapat umasa dahil matagal ka na niyang binitawan, wala ng pag-asa.

"What is that?" Yumuko ako upang tignan kung ano ang naapakan kong bagay. Sino naman kaya ang taong nakahulog ng wallet niya sa ganitong lugar? Tsk. Why don't people really care about their stuffs? Especially this wallet.
