Same Old Love

Chapter 24

Alliana and i just came home. I saw a car infront of our house. It's Diego. The doorbell rings and i opened the door. Diego looked at me with teary eyes.

"Can we talk?" He asked.

"Yeah, sure" I said and let him entered our house. We went to the balcony to talk and drink some beers.

"So what now?" I asked as i put the beer on the table.

"I'm sorry about earlier" He sincerely said.

"Hmm" i hummed.

"I'm just hurt, i don't know what to do"

"You're hurt? You cheated" I said and looked at him

"That was because of jelousy, i saw her with argh! Nevermind"

"With?"

"Si ilagan" He whispers. I can't stop myself but to laugh.

"Engineer? Diego naman engineer yon architect yang jowa mo natural lang na magkasama sila"

"I know, i'm a coward"

"That's the cause of your break up?" I asked.

"It's me, it's my fault" He said and his tears slowly fell.

"Okay, i'm ready to listen"

"Napagod ako" He said almost whispered.

"I-i really don't know why i told her those words that night though i know to myself that i still love her, that i can fight for her, that i can fight for our relationship because i really can"

"You know you can, but you still chose to let her go?"

"I don't know nadala ako ng selos"

"You're lucky you can freely love the person you love. Keep in mind that if you love the person you will never get tired of her, you will never get tired of loving her"

"I got tired. She doesn't have time for me already she barely update me and chat me. She continue saying she'll come pero hindi siya narating. Tuwing pupunta ako sa office niya may meeting daw siya with her client. Paano? Paanong hindi ako mapapagod? I've done everything just to reach for her" I heard him sobbing so i walked towards him and tapped his shoulder.

"But breaking up with her won't help. You should've talk to her first. You cleared things with her, you settle the problem with her" I said as i caressed his back.

"I thought breaking up with her will give me peace of mind kase mababaliw na ako kakaisip kung ano na nangyayare eh pero hindi, naninibago ako ngayon walang napunta sa office ko para lang magsumbong, walang nagdadala ng lunch para sakin, wala na yung nagpapawala ng pagod ko" He cried harder.

"Panget mo umiyak gago ka" I can't take it anymore.

"But seriously bro? Sino yung kasama mo kanina? Kabit mo?" I asked cause i'm curious.

"Wala, actually she's just a friend na medyo rebound?" He said his tears still escaping her cheek.

"Nakita kami ni Cali sa restau, tapos ayun dun na kami nagbreak"

"Tanga ka kase, cheater" Greggy teasing his bestfriend.

"Oo na cheater na kung cheater but i never kissed her"

"Kahit na, kayo pa tapos may babae kang kasabay kumain. Panget mindset mo"

Diego started to cry again. Greggy laughed and hugged him. "It's okay, iiyak mo lang yan di na kita tatawanan"

"Miss ko na siya eh" Diego said while sobbing. I smiled.

"May pasa ka pala sa bibig? Bat ako walang bangas"
