Chapter 28

 

Itinaas ko ang kamay ko at kumaway kay Stephen. "Here!" Sabi ko sa kabilang linya. Nang makita niya ako ay ibinaba na namin ang tawag.

Paglapit niya sakin ay hinalikan niya ako sa pisngi at pinadausdos ang kamay sa bewang ko. "What?" Natatawang tanong ko kay Arisse at Chie na nakatingin samin ni Stephen.

They were eyeing us like crazy. Na para bang may ginawa kaming kasalanan.

"Kasi naman. We cant understand kung bakit hindi nalang kayong dalawa magkabalikan." Ani Arisse.

Tumango si Chie. "Oo nga. Eh parang kayo parin naman eh. You two still lives under the same apartment. Still eats breakfast together. Kiss each other." She said at tinignan ko siya ng masama. "Okay, sa cheeks. But lastly, you two still go on dates."

I laughed. "Friendly dates." Natatawang sabi ko sakanilang dalawa.

Napailing si Chie. "But you two are relationship goals." Aniya at ngumuso. Tumango naman si Arisse sa tabi niya.

"We're cool as friends. And besides, this guy right here is eyeing on someone." Sabi ko at nagtaas baba ng kilay kay Stephen.

Isang taon narin kaming hiwalay ni Stephen. After almost four years of being together, we broke up. Nagkaproblema kami noon sa oras dahil pareho kaming naging busy sa pag-aaral. Graduating shit.

So we both decided to take a break. Pero kahit pareho naming desisyon yun ay pareho din kaming nagsuffer sa hiwalayan namin.

It was so painful I can almost feel myself being numb of the pain over time. Stephen, he's like my soulmate. We click. Pakiramdam ko pwede akong maging 'ako' pag nandyan siya, I can be strong and weak in his eyes and I know he wont take advantage. Maski sa pagstay sa iisang bubong ay naging maayos kami.

We actually believed we're each other's forever. We never looked for something or someone better, because we both know that the best is already right infront of our eyes.

But as the saying goes 'All good things must come to an end.'

Noong unang buwan ay naging magulo ang bagay bagay. Natuto akong uminom. Halos gabi gabi akong lasing at sila Arisse ang naguuwi sakin mula sa bar. Ganun pala talaga yun noh? Kahit na pareho kayong nag-agree na maghiwalay muna ay masakit parin? Masakit kasi mahal mo.

Ang nakakatawa lang ay paguuwi kami noon ay madadatnan din namin si Pat na kakahatid lang din kay Stephen dahil lasing din ito. Actually, mas lasing pa sakin.

We were both devastated.

After almost two months after the breakup, we've decided to be cool. So yeah, we're friends. Nakamove on na ba kami? Maybe yes. Maybe no. But one things for sure, okay kami na ganto lang, friends.
