"It's really good to see you two talking to each other again.."

"Nakita mo kami, hon?"

"Yes.. How did it goes?" iniwan muna nya si Papa sa may table at lumapit sa akin para yumakap.

"Fine. And I told him to back off." kinurot nya ako ng mahina ngunit hindi umimik.

"Hon, you've been a very, very bad girl.."

"I know. 'Wag mo na akong sermunan at matagal na 'yon.." she tiptoed and reached for my lips.

"What's this?!" sigaw ng kakapasok pa lang sa kusina.

Napatayo naman si Papa, lumingon si mama at bahagyang nagulat si Aleina.. Hindi ko alam kung anong ibibigay kong reaksyon. No, she can't ruin 'us'.

"Jc, Ma, Pa, Aleina.. I am sorry. She had a bad sleep." alanganing nilingon ako ki Kuya.

"Hi, I am Aleina. You are?" hinawakan naman ni Aleina ang mga kamay ko at hinatak ako palapit sa dalawa. Itinuloy naman ni Papa at ni Mama ang ginagawa pero alam kong nag-aalala pa rin si Mama.

"I'm Jasmine. Are you a family relative of Tita Irene?" pag-uusisa nito kay Aleina na nasa tabi ko.

"No.. I'm JC's Fiancee. Haven't they told you yet?" malambing na pagsagot nito kay Jasmine. She's 2 years younger from us. She's only 22.

"What? So magpapakasal ka na nga, Cal?!" napansin ni Aleina ang pagtaas at pagbaba ng dibdib ni Jasmine kaya hinawakan nito ng mahigpit ang kamay ko.

Walang sumagot sa aming tatlo kaya tumayo sya at nilapitan ako. Tinignan nya ang mga kamay naming magkasalikop at tinanggal 'yon. Nagitla si Aleina at pasigaw na tinawag ni James ang pangalan ni Jasmine.

"What?! I'll just gonna drag him outside and talk to me! It seems that he's forgotten something.." nilingon ko si Aleina at tumango lang ito.

"Kuya, please be with Aleina muna. Babalik rin kami before dinner.." nakayuko si Aleina nung balingan ko sya ng tingin. Tinawag ko ang pangalan nya na syang nagpa-angat ng tingin nya. "Hon, I love you.."

Hinatak ko palabas si Jasmine at pinapasok sa sasakyan ko. "Wow. You're not furious naman by dragging me inside your car, huh?"

Pinaandar ko ang makina ng sasakyan at nagdiretso sa park sa loob ng village. Lumabas ako at sumunod sya.

"Cal. What happened? What happened to us?" her voice was chasing.. "Please tell me.. Three years. Three fvcking years you haven't called me, asked about me or even shown! Not even a shadow."

"Because I just realized.. I realized we were not made for each other." hindi ko na ulit sya nilingon.

This girl's tears I always wiped.. This sweet girl I always loved.. I used to love everything about her.

"Pero ang sabi mo, you will fight for us in every fvcking way there is! You will protect me no matter what! Sht, Cal, you even said you love me! You even promised to ran away with me! But, hell, you ran away without me and gone for years!"

"Hindi tayo pwede kasi mag-pinsan tayo, Jasmine. Naiitindihan mo ba?" tumayo ako at lumapit sakanyang nakaupo sa swing. Lumuhod ako at tinignan sya sa mga mata.

"Dati, hindi. Nung hindi pa ako inaampon legally.. Pero hinayaan mo. Iniwan mo ako sa ere, iniwan mo akong mag-isa! And then, here? You're going to get married?! Pero hindi sakin!"

"I already had moved on, please, you need to forget and let go whatever we had.. It was a mistake but I've been happy with you. You were my first love but Aleina.. Aleina will always be my last, and I want it sealed forever. Please, Jasmine.. Let go."

"But I still love you, Cal! Hindi mo ba nakikitang nasasaktan ako?! Hindi mo na ba ako mahal? Kapag nasasaktan ako dati, palagi mong pinapaalalang mahal mo ako.. Please, I just need a chance!"

"I can't. We can't. I love Aleina so much, I can't afford to lose her. Giving you chance means hurting my love. Drop it, Jas."

"The way you call my name now it's really way too different. You used to call my name in a sweet way.. Oh, Cal! I don't deserve this hurting!"

"I know! That's why I am asking you to finally let go!"

Napatayo ako dahil sa biglaan nyang pagtayo. Nagsukatan kami ng tingin. Mas matangkad lang ako ng konti sa kanya.. Her eyes, I used to love them. Her lips, I used to be crazy for her kiss. Her hands, I used to hold them tight..

The next thing I knew, we were kissing.. While she's crying. But, hell, why am I responding?! Keep your sht together, Jc!

She stopped. "You still love me, Cal. I can feel it. The way you respond to my kisses.. You still are." then we continued doing so.

Am I still in love with her? No, I can't.. I am crazily in love with Aleina.
