I CAN STILL picture myself dancing with her years ago. All of the candles around us provided the only light for us as we stood in an empty hallway. As we danced to a lovely song, we were having a calm evening.
The loud music brought my thoughts back to the present. She is currently dancing with a man, and I noticed how she is looking at him in a similar way to how she was looking at me before.
'I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm'
'Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool'
'Should've known better than to cheat a friend and waste the chance that I've been given'
(Flashback)
"Why? Why are you doing this to me?", umiiyak na pakiusap niya.
"Leave me alone , Chea", madiin na sabi ko sa kaniya. Wala na ako sa matinong pag iisip.
"Bakit? Anong nagawa ko? Ano bang problema?", sunod-sunod na tanong niya ngunit
"Ako ang problema, Chea. I don't know what to do anymore. Just fucking break up with me!", I shouted at her again pero sunod-sunod na umiling lang siya.
"No, let's fix this—
Hindi ko na alam kung anong pumapasok sa isip ko. "I cheated on you. I fucking cheated on you and I admit it!" I shouted at her.
And just like that she fell on the ground. "N-no. H..hindi mo... No.." she kept denying it.
(End of Flashback)
'So I'm never gonna dance again, the way I dance with you'
I never cheated on her. I just lied to her.
If only I told her the truth. Ako sana ang kasayaw niya sa harap ng maraming tao habang nakasuot ng green gown. Tonight is her 20th birthday celebration.
I sipped the whiskey from the glass in my hand as I watched them dance.
"They are really into each other no?", I heard someone said.
"Bagay na bagay sila"
Mahigpit na napahawak ako sa baso ng marinig iyon. May tumapik naman sa balikat ko at napagtanto kong si Ian iyon, ang bestfriend ko.
"Kalma lang, bro."
Dati kapag kami magkasama palagi kaming nasasabihan ng hindi bagay o hindi kaya sinasabi nila na mukhang napilitan lang si Chea sa akin. I hurt Chea as a result of my growing insecurity. I lied to her and then left acting as if nothing had happened.
She cast her eyes around as they continued to dance. Although she appeared surprised to see me, she kept staring at me. In a similar manner to before, I fixed my gaze on her.
'Tonight the music seems so loud, I wish that we could lose this crowd '
After a few minutes, I left the venue. Pumunta ako sa labas at agad na dumiretso sa parking lot. Lalapit na sana ako sa sasakyan ko ng may naramdaman akong presensya sa likod ko. Paglingon ko ay nakita ko si Chea. Mukhang hinabol niya pa talaga ako kasi nakapaa na lang siya ngayon at wala ng heels.
"Leon"
May boyfriend na siya. May boyfriend na siya.
'Maybe it's better this way, we'd hurt each other with the things we want to say'
I cast her a scornful glance. "What do you want?"
After two years, she gave me the sweetest smile she had ever given. She stumbled, "Thank you for coming here; I'm glad you made it." I remained silent. I was unable to speak. I could hurt her again if I speak.
'We could've been so good together, we could've live this dance forever'
"It was my mom who forced me to come here."
She said, "Oh," making a fake laugh. "Uhm, okay. Mauuna na ako, baka kasi hinahanap na ako ni France. Good bye.", pagpapaalam niya.
'But now, who's gonna dance with me. Please stay—'
I hushed, "Stay." It it seems that she heard it, but she still walked away from me.
