One Shot Stories (Under Revision)

001. One Stupid Mistake

"Love, ayusin natin 'to please? Lasing lang ako that time! Hindi ko talaga alam ang ginagawa ko nang oras na 'yon." I laughed sarcastically when I heard his explanation. Stupid reason.
 
 
 
 
"You're drunk, and what? You had sex with Freya? I would understand kung na-drugs ka or she forced you to have sex with her, but your reason? 'Tangina Red walang pumilit sa'yong makipagtalik sa kan'ya. Ginusto mo 'yon, ginagago mo ba ako?" I shouted as I cried in front of him.
 
 
 
 
He broke my heart into a million pieces when I saw him naked inside our condo, and wait, there's more! He's with someone who is naked at the same time.
 
 
 
 
"Ilang beses mo na s'yang dinala rito?" I asked as I forced myself not to stutter.
 
 
 
 
"D-Dalawa." I opened my mouth, but no words came out. My forehead creased, and I couldn't help but pity myself for being fooled.
 
 
 
 
"Dalawa? Tapos hindi mo sinasadya? Gago!" sigaw ko sa mukha n'ya. Pain was visible in his eyes.
 
 
 
 
"Love, marami na tayong pinagdaanang pagsubok diba? Please think about the two years that we spent time together. Please give me another chance. Please, 'wag mo namang hayaang masira ang relasyon natin dahil sa isang pagkakamali," pakiusap n'ya. Wala sa sarili akong natawa ng malakas.
 
 
 
 
Two years ang kingina. I've been living with this man for two years, and he just broke my heart in just a second. Wow.
 
 
 
 
Siya ang kasama ko at sabay kaming nag-celebrate ng achievements namin; he even offers a cup of noodles every time I feel blue. Pa'no na lahat 'yon? Gano'n kadali para sa kaniya na itapon?
 
 
 
 
"Yeah, for two years, I've been happy. We're actually almost a perfect couple. Pero sana Red ayan din 'yung inisip mo bago mo ako niloko." I caressed his cheeks and cried harder. I can't even look straight into his eyes because I saw how his eyes begged. I gave him a peck and turned my back on him.
 
 
 
 
Maybe I'm too stupid because I don't believe in second chances. But, come to think of it, reserving a second chance for someone means giving him the right to hurt you or the freedom to do something that might hurt you.
 
 
 
 
I can easily forgive someone, but it will never be easy for me to forget what mistake they have made, even if it was just one stupid mistake.
