Great Pretender (Editing) part 1 & 2 *on-going*

GP2-Chapter 1- Closure

Angela.

"Angela are ready? have you been packed your things?!" my aunt shouted from the other side of room.

"opo aunty nakahanda na po." i replied.

"Be sure to leave nothing okay?Pero mag tira ka ng damit mo kung saka sakaling babalik ka dito." she added

"Yes Aunty! i will!!" matagal ko nang hinanda sarili ko sa pag babalik doon. I will Face my Fears.. my frenemy.., everything that i wanted to settle thing inbetween including Dave. but before i leave i need to talk someone privately.

so i dealed Larry's Number.

Calling Larry Patterson.

luckily he answered it.

"Hello? Whos is this?" ang sakit pakinggan, na binura niya pati number ko.

"Hi Larry, don't you recognize me?" i ask and my eyes start to fill with tears again. ewan ko kung ano tong naramdaman ko isa din sa rason kung bakit gusto kong makipag kita sa kanya para e finalized tong nararamdaman ko i thought to myself while looking my reflection at the mirror

"No, who is this please?" mas lalong masakit kasi hindi siya sincere sa boses ko now i accept the fact na lahat ng nangayre noon samin ay isang magandang laro.

"This is Angela by the way i need to------" hindi niya ako pinatapos as usual.

"Angela!! oh! sorry i just---- i did not expect you to call me because...----" alam kong hindi mo na ineexpect ang presence ko noon pa lang.

"Cut it off. hindi na ako magpaligoy ligoy pa. i neeed  to talk with you privately meet me tomorrow , doon malapit sa Coffee Shop niyo'' then i hang up. i won't expect any thing else from now on. masakit mag assume. masakit lahat. its time for me to stand by my own and need to higher up my undefined attitude. in short mas papataasan ko na ang pagiging maldita ko.

23minutes i arrived here at mini-park near Larry's shop. it took near 46minutes waiting of him and eventually he showed up. *ang gago nag pa espesyal. ano siya sorbetes?* i thought to myself and higher my brows to him.

''Angela.'' he waved. gago talaga sabing private jan pa nag park.

lumakad ako papunta sa kanya and grabbed him using only my left arm and whispered

''i said i want to talk with you privately wala na bang mas private pa dito?''

"oh! I'm Sorry! get in, in my car and i know a place that surely a private." tinitigan ko muna siya. nakakailang, ayokong makatabi siya, makasama. o ano pa jan. nandidiri ako. ayoko na kasi sa kanya.

"Angela. i insist. Get in" he ordered.

"okay. if you insist." then i got in even the hesitation in my mind says Don't.

hindi aabot sa 15 minutes nakarating kami sa isang lugar na may baybayin. matiwasay. tahimik. malinis sa bagay iba ang australia sa pilipinas . and then a moment of silence for the both of us.

"Lars, do you really think there's a rainbow after the rain?" i said to broke the silence.

"Yes, why you asked?"

"Why do you say so?" instead na sumagot siya s'kin lumakad siya patungo dun malapit sa baybayin.

"oh! come on Larry! what i am trying to say is there's no point leaving Christine after your daughter is gone." i shouted , and expected lumaki ang mata niya after pagsabi ko nun.

"What?!! san mo na kuha yan?!!" he shouted back, which i did not expect.

"Your Wife." and turn my back to him "Larry ito lang masasabi ko, instead na lumayo ka sa kanya at iwan siya bakit hindi nalang kayo mag sama? anong purpose sa I DO mo nung kinasal kayo? anung purpose sa halik na yon sa harap ng maraming tao? laro lang ba para sa yo yun? Dahil kung Oo lamonin mo tong suntok ko nang mabilaukan ka." I continue angrily.

"Angela, look, alam mung ikaw ang gusto k------" i cut him off at binalik ang tingin ko sakanya.

"Wala na Larry, walang Tayo noon pa lang, Laro lang yun, ONE NIGHT STAND kumbaga, kung ako sayo Discover what is best to her side instead looking her down, Christine is a sweet person, She is your best friend and i know there's something on her that only You. know."

napatulala siya sa sinabi, talagang meron naman, ayaw lang talaga nya makita iyon.\, because he refuse to see.

i took a deep breath and speak again

"I am going back to philippines grab the oppurtunity to get closer to her, Love her as much as she loved you" and gave him a smile. an inspirable one.

"Angela...i wanted you. nothing else but you. i love you from the moment i saw you five years ago'' he protest.

i grab his hand and let it fit to mine.

"Larry, look at me, Move On. Diba dapat ang married couple mas lalong mag ho-hold-on kung may bagay na mawawala na napaka importante sa kania?" i said with courage. dapat ko siyang e encourage, dapat matutunan niya mahalin ang asawa niya. Asawa niya yon.

"what does it mean? what exactly it is Angela??"

i sat down at the ground with full of carabao grasses. And is, near the river.

"What i am trying to say is.. hold her longer than Never, Learn to Love her and open your heart. trust me if your going to allow yourself to be Christine's Legally Husband, im pretty sure you'll gonna feel how nice the feeling of being in love is." He sat beside me and murmur some words, pero ang naka bitter hindi ko maintindihan. masyadong mahina.

"Do you really mean it??"

"ha?" i said with full of frustation.

"you want me to Love Christine as much as she Loved me? you want me to Allow her do the thing like what Real Wives do?" exactly larry! iyan dapat.

"Yes" and gave him a smile "i guess our conversation ends here. So, tomorrow i'll be bounding back to the place where i was born, i have to face my other reality... again.." i continue and stood up.

I was about to go but i remembered i wasn't able to bring my own transpo.

"Angela.. Take care there. whatever may occur your life there, I'll be supporting you... I mean WE WILL SUPPORT YOU" my lips suddenly stretched, i know hes going to allow christine to be part of him. Sana Larry magiging maayos ang lahat sa inyo..
