Chapter 20

**

I never thought I would love to be in the bar again. Drinking makes me forget everything, the pain that keeps on squeezing my heart. Whenever, his face flashed into my mind, I couldn't help myself but to cry. I shouldn't be crying because I was the one who broke up with him but you couldn't blame me, I was hurt. Still and will always be.

I drink the glass of beer straightly before shaking my head. Tears formed in my eyes. No matter how hard I tried to control my tears I couldn't. Everyday I thought about breaking up with him and he's now happy with someone else.

"Yries?"

My sight is already blurred but I still remember the man in front of me. I just chuckled and drank the beer. Hindi ko siya pinansin.

"I've noticed you are always in the bar." He said, he sat down beside me.

May sinenyas siya sa bar tender na kinatango na lang nito. I wasn't able to say a word because I would surely sob in front of him.

"Lagi kang nagbabar... at napapansin ko ang laging pag iyak mo." He said, ngayon ko lang napansin na may hawak din siyang alak.

"To make myself happy?" I laughed and wiped my tears.

"What happened to both of you, I hope you can fix it. I couldn't bear to see my cousin flirting with tons of girls." And then he laughed.

I painfully smiled, "He deserves that, Stan. He deserves to be happy. At wala ng maaayos, he had already moved on."

"Are you sure of that?" He asked me.

I nodded, "That's what he said when we broke up. He will forget his feelings for me when I admit that I don't love him."

"Don't you love him?"

I caught off guard. I don't know what to say. He's still the cousin of Limwell and I shouldn't say everything to him. Sapat na nalaman niya na wala na kami.

"You are still in love with my cousin, Yries. And I know he is still into you." Stan said while smirking.

I kept shaking my head and laughed, "Mas maganda ng ganito kami, Stan. He deserves someone who will love him and fight for him."

"And you think, that's not you?" He pressed his lips while looking at the beer in his hands.

I nodded. "Yes..."

He just shrugged his shoulders and didn't say a word anymore. Mabuti na rin na hindi siya magsalita dahil ayokong umasa na hanggang ngayon mahal pa rin niya ako.

"I'm also broken, Yries." He chuckled, "You know what? I left her because I chose her freedom."

Natahimik ako sa pag iisip ng sabihin niya 'yon sa gitna ng katahimikan.

"Raea is a soft-hearted person, she is innocent, she is pure... everything. Lahat na sa kaniya na. But I don't know, I don't want to understand why my father doesn't want her for me." He started to tell a story.

When I was with Raea, she was really pure and kind. Kitang-kita naman sa kaniyang mga galaw at hindi nagkakamali sa sinasabi si Stan.

"My father said he will do everything just to separate us." He smirked, painfully, "Gusto niyang tanggalin sa trabaho si Raea. Ayokong mangyari 'yon dahil ilang beses na siyang nawalan ng trabaho. I'm selfish if I choose to be with her instead of giving her freedom."

Napalunom ako. I didn't know this! I'm not the one who experienced this kind of treatment for a family!

"We broke up. I broke up with her. It has been one year... I know she's already in love with someone else. But I wouldn't stop winning her again. I love her and this time I will choose to fight with her."
