All we know

CHAPTER 6: MAYBE WE SHOULD LET THIS GO

Xyan's P.OV:

/Fast forward/

Tomorrow will be my last day here in the Philippines, Inuunti-unti ko na rin yung gamit ko para walang masyadong aasikasuhin, even though my flight is 1:00 pm. I wanted to give much time to my aunt and cousin, di naman nagaalala si daddy sakin eh, he have his own family na. Magdadrama pa sana ako kaso biglang my kumatok sa kwarto ko, Pinapasok ko ito

"are you really sure na aalis ka na bukas kuya?" tanong sakin ni Elizabeth habang naka busangot

"ano ka ba naman, para namang di nako babalik, I promise you pagnakapagtapos na ko, kukunin ko kayo ni Tita dito sa Pilipinas, o kaya naman ako nalang yung babalik" sabi ko sa kanya, yumuko siya at nakita ko ang pagpatak ng kanyang luha sa sahig

"Don't cry, I'll be fine and You'll be fine too" Sabi ko sa para pagaanin ang loob niya

"I'll keep this room empty for you Kuya, no one can own this except you" she said

"magisa nanaman ako dito sa apartment ko" I wiped her tears, tumingin ako sa mga mata niya, mixed emotion yung nakikita ko... lungkot na may saya

"bat kaya hindi ka nalang bumalik sa bahay niyo? so you can be with Tita" I ask her

"because of work, kaya nga mas pinili ko na dito tumira kasi mas malapit to kesa sa Bahay, tsaka if something urgent happen, I'm on my way na kaagad" She said and laugh

I breathe heavily "uhm, may pupuntahan ka ba ngayon?" I asked her

"ako kasi meron, so stay here ha? wag kang aalis" sabi ko bago paman ito magsalita, she just stood there looking at me in shock, I tap her shoulder and went to my car. I'll meeting Simon today, kaya naman nagmamadali na ko kasi di ko namalayan ang oras, I texted Simon na baka malate ako, I didn't get any replies from him, even just a single ok.

Just like I expected I am late, 5 minutes to be exact. I saw Simon already there waiting for me.

"Sorry I'm late" I said. He just smiled, mukhang good mood to ngayon ah, we ordered our drinks na, while waiting I made a topic.

"Magiistick ka pa rin ba sa plan?" I ask him

"of course, yun yung pinagusapan eh" he answered

"pwede ka pangumatras" I said

"pwede mo namang gawing forever yung pagpapanggap mo" I whispered making sure he couldn't hear anything

"I already have a Girlfriend, so I'm pretty sure na hindi na ko aatras" He said. I just nod. Our order arrived and we have little boys talk, while I was listening to him talking, I realized why Elizabeth love this man so much, they're both lucky to have each other. Nagpaalam si Simon kung pwede daw bang mauna na siya because he still have to work on something. Before he could go, I said something I know will be stuck on his head.

"I know you're just pretending not to care, but... I know you still love her, I know you still care, I made this deal for you to realize na... you can't live without her, you can't sleep without hearing her voice or without you seeing her face. I know that... I once fell in love and made the biggest mistake in my life... MALING HINALA... I thought she was cheating on me but after a lot of years, his fiancé texted me, inviting me to their wedding, pumunta ako... I saw the love of my life marrying my stepbrother, she saw me and alam mo yung sinabi niya? The day I thought she was cheating... Is the day she is preparing to propose to me, ang sakit lang kasi di ko pinakinggan lahat ng paliwanag niya, naisipan ko pang... mag aral abroad parang malimutan siya, ang tanga diba? That day was yesterday, nung araw lang na yun kung pinakinggan ko lang sana siya, ako sana yung makakpareha niya sa altar" I said crying
