3:43...di pa rin siya nakauwi.
I'm just sitting here waiting for him to come back home. Nandito parin yung ecitement ko na sabihan siya.
I heard the door open and saw him smiling from ear to ear, and at the same time, I received a notification from jamjam.

Today 3:44 AM
Uhm
sky
I know
na ang saya mo ngayon
Omw ako sa appartment mo
Pero nakita ko to
[sent a photo]
Kanina ko pa sila nakita
Sorry ngayon ko lang sinabi
-----------------------
My heart dropped when I saw the photo. I looked at Sam, he was still smiling while looking at his phone.
Kaya ka pala umalis
I just looked at him there, frozen, unable to move a single part of my body. I'm still processing what Jamjam said to me.
"San ka galing," I asked him. He looked at me, then back to his phone.
"Sa labas lang." He said without even looking at me.
I scoffed. "Kala ko ba saglit lang, halos mag isang hours ka na sa labas. HIN-" I gulped to stop my anger from bursting, "hindi ako tanga Sam. Yung totoo san ka galing. Nung nakaraang araw din, nawala ka nang bigla-biglaan." He's still lookiing at his phone, ignoring everything that I've just said.
If may ikakasakit pa nito, sana wag niyo na ibigay.
Naka open pa yung convo nila nung ex niya.

----------------------
"Hanep ah? Ako pa talag yung tropa." I continued scrolling.
"Akin na yung phone." He said calmly and lent his hand for me to put his phone, but I smacked his hands away.
"Aray! ANO BA!" sabi niya. "SABING IBIGAY MO NGA DIBA!" I was so shocked when he shouted at me. He never does that before kahit mag-away kami. I lost my grip on the phone, so he took this as a chance to get it from me.
"Kailan pa." He looked at me. His eyes were guilty. "Sabi ko, kailan pa." tears began to form in my eyes. I looked at the ceiling to prevent it from falling.
"Di naman ako magagalit pag sinabi mo yung totoo." I said. I looked at his eyes directly and he looked away.
He took a long sigh before speaking. "Two years," he said.
I laughed. Tumawa ako dahil sa katangahan ko. Sa 6 years nang pagiging kami, nililigawan niya pala ex niya ng 2 years.
"Bakit mo nagawa sakin to..." He looked at me.
"Look... I'm sorry." He took my hands, and I pushed them away, more like smacking them.
Anong ginawa ko sa past life ko at ganto ako ka malas.
I found out that he was supposed to go to Baguio with his ex. Pero busy siya kaya ako nalang ang sinama.
