One wants to go back.
The other has no idea.
Until their love finds its own way to each other.
(The setting is in Texas, USA)

I was a little sad nang iabot ko kay Cheska ang binili kong engagement ring. May terno iyon na hikaw pero kailangan pang kunin sa ibang branch. So I have to go back tomorrow to get it at the jewelry shop. Ayaw ko naman kumuha ng ibang style dahil alam kong babagay sa kanya ang napili ko.
Your engagement ring. I told her when I gave her the velvet box habang nasa couch siya at nanonood ng TV. I just smiled as she accepted it with a surprised expression on her beautiful face. Really? Hindi niya ba iniisip na bibigyan ko siya ng engagement ring?
Maybe because she wasn't expecting it kaya hindi siya nakapagpasalamat. I went in to the room that I was using to change clothes bago ako magluto. This room was not bad for someone who just arrived in the US. Nahihiya man ako na pati kotse niya ay gamit ko, I just promised myself na babawian ko siya sa ibang bagay.
Paglabas ko ay nakita kong suot niya na ang singsing. Bagay sa'yo, puri ko.
I thought she blushed. Cute! And this was also that time that she said: Thank you!
I didn't go on troubles of asking her if she would marry me. Two things might happen: Ang matawa siya at mapahiya ako. Or she would say no dahil ipapaalala na naman niya na may girlfriend akong iniwan sa Pilipinas.
Kayla had been getting parts in our daily conversation and a lot of times, it irritates me. Ni hindi ko na nga alam kung napaano na iyon ngayon. Weeks before I left the Philippines ay pinutol niya na ang lahat ng communication namin. Meaning, kahit anong message ko ay hindi na siya nagre-reply.
I even asked some of our common friends kung okay lang siya. Baka kasi broken hearted, umiiyak o nag-isolate. But no. She seemed fine. Minsan nga ay nakikita pa nilang nanonood ng sine or nagsi-stroll sa mall na may kasamang lalaki. Although hindi naman ipinagsasabi na break na kami, she was open in telling people that she is accepting suitors.
Come to think of it, kahit noong kami pa ay tumatanggap talaga ng manliligaw si Kayla, except she was telling them that she had a boyfriend already. Some of the suitors would go away and some would just stick and hope they would have a chance soon since hindi naman kami palaging magkasama.
Kayla was very honest in telling me about it and I didn't have an emotion to react. Basta ba hindi niya sasagutin. I would just usually shrugged my shoulder and continue whatever it is that we were doing. Hindi ko iniisip na may inaasahan pala siyang reaksiyon sa pagkukuwento niya ng mga iyon until magsabi ako sa kanya na lilipad ako pa America.
"You what?" she said in a voice with a pitch a lot higher than usual.
"I have been thinking about this for a long time. Sa sobrang busy ko ay nakalimutan ko na. But this is one of my dreams. Actually, this is the only dream that I haven't lived yet. All of the others, I have been doing already. Helping my parents get their house, being a high pledge Architect. A job, and a condominium unit. Although I will sell it the moment that I leave, at least nagawa ko na," I further explained.
