Somebody That I Used To Know

Somebody That I Used To Know | Y

(Nuj pronounced as NUDGE and Mine pronounced as MEAN)

"Boo, anong kakainin mo?" tanong sakin ng boyfriend ko sabay akbay.

Naglilibot kasi kami dito sa mall. Wala lang gusto lang namin mamasyal. We've been together for a year now and Im so glad I met him.

"Sisig nalang by." sagot ko sabay ngiti.

Naglalakad kami papunta sa paborito naming kainan ng sisig. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw a familiar pair of eyes. With those almost perfect eyelashes. Those eyes that made fell in love. Those pair of eyes that took me a year to forget. Or have I really forgetten it?

He looked at our direction. I was so shocked. After a year I saw those eyes again. I saw him again. Why now? Bakit pa? Kinalimutan ko na siya. Diba? Kung nakalimutan ko na bakit pa ko kinakabahan?

Tinignan ko yung boyfriend ko. Hindi niya siya napansin. Good. Ayokong magalit ulet siya sakanya. Ayoko. Tinignan ko ulet siya. At nagtama yung mga mata namin. Hindi ko alam kung ngingiti ba ko o hindi ko nalang papansinin. Nakatitig lang din siya pero walang emotion yung mga mata niya. Sanay na ko. Lagi namang ganun lang yung mata niya e. Pero nainlove padin ako.

Nauna siyang nagiwas ng tingin. So I think alam ko na kung anong dapat kong gawin. Hinawakan ng boyfriend ko yung kamay ko. Nginitian ko siya at pumasok na kami sa restaurant na kakainan namin. Walang lingon lingon. Walang pag aalinlangan. Wala nang nararamdaman. After all he's just somebody that I used to know.

*flashback*

He was my bestfriend. A bestfriend that I fell inlove with. I like everything about him even the smallest details. Kahit yung nakabend niyang daliri sa right hand niya dahil sa basketball. Lahat yun napapansin ko. Lahat yun gusto ko. Lahat ng tungkol sakanya pasok sa standards ko. He was my dream guy. Everything about him seems to be imperfectly perfect.

But like all cliché bestfriend love stories he's not inlove with me. One sided love story ang peg namin. He likes someone else.

Triny kong kalimutan nalang yung feelings ko sakanya. I entertained suitors baka kasi mafall ako sa iba. Para makalimutan ko na siya. Kasi di naman niya ko gusto e. Pero bigla siyang nagbago. Nagalit siya nung malaman niyang nagpapaligaw na ako. Nagagalit siya pag lumalabas ako kasama nang ibang lalake. Akala ko malakas lang sapak niya.

"Gusto kita."

Nagulat ako. Sa dami dami ng pwedeng sabihin yun pa yung sinabi niya. Syempre kumalabog ng sobra yung dibdib ko. Finally yung mahal ko mahal na rin ako. It felt so right. I felt so happy. I thought Im gonna explode from that feeling.

Naging kami. 4 years. I spent 4 years in a relationship with my bestfriend. Bihira kaming magaway. Kasi kilalang kilala na namin yung isa't isa. Hindi rin kami sobrang sweet. Saktong relasyon lang. Parang magbestfriend pero may commitment.

Until our 50th monthsary came. We're supposed to go to Palawan. Wala lang just to be together. Pero hindi niya ko sinipot sa airport. Walang dumating na Nuj sa airport. I looked dumb waiting for him for hours. Akala ko natraffic kasi siya. Akala ko baka may emergency. Akala ko lang pala. I waited for no one.

After that day hindi niya ko kinontact. As in wala. I tried calling him, I went to his house, I went to his office but he was no where to be found. As if he's hiding from me.

After a week I received a text message from him.

"Mine, sorry hindi ako nakadating."

Yun lang. Walang explanation or what. Triny ko siyang kausapin pero busy daw siya. Only to find out na may iba na pala siya. Officemate niya pa. I was so hurt that time. Ang tanga tanga ko kasi di ko nakita yung signs. Di ko naramdaman na may iba na pala.

I told him na alam ko na. Wala man lang siyang sinabi. Ni hindi siya nagsorry. Putangina lang diba? Sobrang sakit na ginago niya ko tapos parang wala lang sakanya. Who would have thought na yung bestfriend ko ganun lang gagawin sakin? Ako kasi di ko inakala.

Hindi ko na siya kinontact after naming magusap. Ilang linggo ko siyang iniyakan. Sobra sobra kong nasaktan. Kasi hindi lang si Nuj na boyfriend ko yung nawala e. Pati yung Nuj na bestfriend ko.

After weeks of crying I met John. He fixed my broken heart. And helped me heal my broken trust.

*end of flashback*

I love John. Sa muling pagkikita namin ni Nuj napatunayan ko na mahal ko na nga talaga si John. I just hope na sana siya na. And lets just put Nuj sa past. Because he's just somebody that I used to know.
