What am I supposed to do, If there's no YOU (Declare #1)

Part 28

Nasa bar area kami at nakikita ko si Rowan na may mga kausap na babae.

"if stares can stab him, he'll be dead by now." napatingin ako kay Taei.

Wala na amg mga babaeng kasmaa nila dahil sumama na kay Yuki.

"Sorry for what she did." sabi ni Taei, ngumiti ako ng kaunti at umiling.

"it's fine, matagal ko ng tanggap na obsessed siya sa akin. really." sabi ko at tumawa siya.

Tiningnan niya si Rowan bago ibalik sa akin ang tingin.

"you like him, Huh." sabi niya sa akin, natigilan ako at umiwas sa kanya, dumako amg tingin ko kay Rowan at nakita ko na kausap parin niya amg mga babae. I know I'm being unpredictable, it's for business... Tangina, nag seselos ako.

He even excused himself, nag paalam pa siya sa akin na kakausapin niya ang executives niya na babae.

"ypu both stares at each other like you both want to kiss each other's lips, it's surprising that he cared so much about you, wherever you go he wants to be with you, held your waist and everything, Don't try to pretend that you really not like him because you are letting him do that.." sabi niya, napabuntong hininga ako. He sound so careful when saying that.

"Does it matter? I'm not his match. Did I deserve him? No. Tama si Yuki, I'm  not suitable, I've been married to and divorced over a span of one month, after he lost his memories..." sabi ko sa kanya. Kumunot ang noo niya.

"What?" tanong niya, tiningnan ko siya.. He seems nice and mysterious, maybe I can say it since isang taon na rin naman.

"Rafael lost his memories, Me to be exact, He doesn't remember me, only me. And he is with his ex now who he thought he love." sabi ko, napanganga siya at malungkot akong natawa.

"It sucks, Taei... Not being recognize by the man you loved for four years, instead, he remembered his ex, inside our marriage he cheated...I begged him to stay kahit kaunting panahon pa, baka maalala niya pa. But he said na kahit anong isip niya, hindi niya maalala na mahal niya ako, tell me? Mag sstay kapa? The marriage is broken after his accident." sabi ko sa kanya, napanganga ito lalo.

"that night, before I decided na tapusin na dahil gusto na rin ni Rafael at ng ex niya, Rowan is there for me, he made me laugh that night..." tiningnan ko si Rowan at kausap parin ang babae.

"After a year nag kita ulit kami, he is my savior, you know..." tiningnan ko si Taei

"last night on my Birthday, Rafael came to our house, waisted..." tumango si Taei.

"hindi daw niya ako makalimutan, but he is still with his ex I thought they are truly happy... But all I can think about is Rowan... But I didn't deserve him you know, Rowan...Taei, it's unfair." sabi ko sa kanya.

"...you deserve to be happy, and he deserves it too. So go on. Fight your place. Let's see." sabi niya sa akin, tiningnan ko ulit si Rowan.

"I'm going to regret this..." sabi ko, tumawa siya.

"me too " sabi niya, napalunok ako.

"you will only regret it if he doesn't like you too. Why don't you try?" sabi niya sa akin, at hinila ako bigla papalapit sa gawi ni Rowan, akala ko ay itutulak niya ako doon pero bigla siyang pumunta sa unahan ko at hinawakan ang beywang ko at nag simula kaming mag sayaw.

"Let the game begin..." bulong niya sa tenga ko at nakatingin lang ako sa kanya, what is he doing?

"Taei." nagulat ako ng kaunti mg biglang nasa tabi na namin si Rowan at seryosong seryoso ang mukha... Madilim ang mukha niya habang naka tingin sa kaibigan.
