When I Met You (GXG)

CHAPTER 33

PRESENT

Unknown number

i miss us.

It's been years but this unknown number, or whoever is this, is still keeps on messaging me. I keep on changing my sim card, pero palagi padin akong nakakatanggap ng message niya.

This is so weird, this person keeps telling me weird things. At first, I'm getting nervous at it though because I think this person was a stalker, but to be consistent in 6 years? Fuck, it makes me really curious who is this person.

I put back my phone in my pocket. Naalala ko nanaman ang mga nangyari kanina, god I still can't believe it. She's back. She's back after she suddenly disappeared. After she left me.

I haven't heard any news about her for years. Even from my brother. He had been sensitive about it since I told him about everything. He disagreed with it of course, because what we did was wrong.

But he still respects my feelings at the end. He's actually not so shocked when he found out about it. But he didn't expect that it would be her long time friend, that I was falling in love.

It's been a hard years for me before I got to this position. Imagining, Aiko left and then my Lola, it really caused a huge damage in my heart. I got sensitive again in talking to other people that time, but gladly my friends still tried to reach me out and cheer me up.

Marami nang nagbago, of course it's been 6 years. But my struggles is the same as before. My nightmares, it's fucking hard because I always dream about my Lola's death. I can still reminisced the things that happened before and how I last saw her body covered with the white cloth.

I sometimes dream about her too. But that dream is really weird and confusing, because I always see her crying. One time, natatandaan ko sa panaginip ko she was sitting on the seaside while her face is covered with her hands.

Sinubukan kong lumakad papalapit sa kaniya, but the weird thing is habang papalapit ako ng papalit, ay lumalayo din siya kaya hindi ko siya maabot o malapitan. Tapos biglang mawawala siya sa paningin ko at matatapos ang panaginip ko. Being an overthinker sucks. I can't still sleep peacefully.

Kaya hindi ko maiwasang hindi parin siya maisip o mag aalala kung okay lang ba siya. I'm still following her on ig, but inactive na siya. So I don't really know what's going on with her for years.

Now she's back.

Her eyes look different now, it's shining. Maybe her life is really good now, I'm happy for her of course. Matagal nang wala yung tampo at lungkot ko, pero yung mga tanong sa puso ko, gusto pa din ng kasagutan nito.

Maraming mga bagay na hindi ko nalaman noong umalis siya. Pero sa tingin ko kapag nalaman ko ang mga yun, may magiging halaga pa ba yun? Tapos na naman kami. Ay, hindi nga pala naging kami.

"Hey darling. You okay? Lutangers ka nanaman." my eyes quickly turn to her when I heard her called me.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I gave her a smile afterwards.

We're here at the restaurant she requested to eat. Pagkalabas ko kasi ng ospital ay nasaktuhan naman na papalabas na din siya kaya hindi na ako nakatanggi sa pagyaya niya. But we agreed na walang alcohol kaya pumayag na ako. The waiter comes to place the foods that we ordered.

"Hi Miss beautiful. Can I have your phone number?" the guy waiter asked me. Nanlaki ang mata ni Carrie nang tingnan ko siya. I raised my eyebrows and then I looked at him.

"Uhmm... I'm with my girlfriend." I lied, and then let out a fake smile at him. I hold Carrie's hand that is on the table to make it more believable.

"Oh, I'm so sorry Maam. Uh, I- I'm sorry po talaga. Akala ko po kas-"
