Nagising ako sa alarm ng aking telepono. Time check, it's 10 in the morning, Sunday. Wala kaming training today kaya naman I allowed myself to sleep-in. God knows how hard it was for me to wake up these days at the wee hours of the morning, not being able to recall kung ano man ang mga bagay na pinag-usapan namin ni Sam the night before, dahil nga wala, dahil hindi kami nag-uusap.
These past few days I found myself staring at my phone for a couple of hours, at random times in a day, waiting, expecting that Sam might message or even call me. The night when I came rushing down sa condo ni Sam, after ko nalaman that she feels the same way about me, I told Chie that I have decided to give Sam and I some space to process.
I am stepping back not because I have decided to give-up kung ano man tong nararamdaman ko para sa kanya, but mostly because, we are not in any position to openly and legally have these feelings for each other. I don't think I needed to mention it anymore, the elephant in the room, that both of us are currently in a long term relationship already, and it's something na hindi dapat ipag walang bahala.
Sometimes I wonder, if only we have met at an earlier times in both of our lives, will we feel the same way about each other? And if we did, will we be able to stay together? O talagang we are destined to meet at the time that we did, destined to fall in love with the circumstances that we have, and destined for our hearts to forever be apart.
My thoughts were interrupted sa pagtunog ng telepono ko, it's Eian, calling.
Hello E? Napatawag ka?
Ly, hi good morning! Nagising ba kita? Sorry!
No E! Gising na ako, everything okay ba? Why did you call?
Yes Ly, everything's good! Gusto ko rin lang i-congratulate ka sa pagka panalo niyo sa game nung Thursday, sorry di ako nakapunta.
Thanks E! It's fine, don't worry about it. I know we are all busy rin naman talaga, there's always next time.
Ly, I heard what happened.
From Ate Brends?
Yes, how are you?
Not entirely okay, but trying to be.
I see, I see.
Parehas kaming hindi nakapag salita ni Eian, and I feel like the conversation was about to end, kaya I'm preparing to end the call narin, ng biglang nag salita si Eian.
Uhmm, Ly! Wala ka ba gagawin today?
Wala naman E, planing to read a book lang and rest.
Sama ka nalang samin, me and the guys will have brunch today.
Really? Sino sino kayo?
Me, Ben and TJ, kami lang kasi available eh, niyaya ko rin sila Brenda, di raw sila pwede. Sama ka please? Tagal narin natin hindi nakakalabas.
I was about to ask kung niyaya rin ba niya si Sam, but I decided not to.
Sige E, go ako. San tayo mag meet?
Actually if it's okay with you, daanan nalang kita sa inyo, since ako naman nag yaya, I'll come and pick you up nalang.
Oh wow! Sige E, that's fine.
Okay Ly, I'll pick you up mga 11? Sorry short notice.
That's okay with me, message ka nalang pag nandito ka na. See you and ingat!
