Going Back To Yesterday

16

"Isang year na lang, graduate na tayo! Omg! I'm so proud of us!"

Niyakap ako ni Clara. It's been a year since me and Oliver broke up. It wasn't a healthy break-up but at least wala na kaming mararamdamang sakit at wala na rin siyang maitatagong sikreto pa. Oliver also moved back to the US with his... family. Hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin nagsi-sink in sa akin na all this time, he had a family... Na naging kami without me knowing na may anak na siya.

"At isang taon na lang rin, aalis na ako." I said, smiling. 

I decided to start a new life after my graduation. A new journey... without pain. I know I said that I wanted him to be by my side as I reach my dream. Pero nagkaroon kasi ng quick changes kaya hindi na matutuloy. And it's fine. 

He's living his best life and I'm going to live mine too... soon.

Napanguso si Clara. "Sigurado ka ba sa desisyon mong 'yan? Baka ma-miss ko ako kaagad." 

"Kapal mo talaga," I rolled my eyes. "Pero oo, mami-miss ko kayo pero kakayanin ko naman. Kailangan kong kayanin."

"That's my Naya!" Pumalakpak si Clara. "Halika, I think need natin i-celebrate pagiging strong independent woman mo! Libre ko na!"

We both went on a coffee date. Chinichika niya ako habang ako naman ay busy sa laptop ko. I opened my Instagram to check kung sino 'yong mga nag-like ng latest post ko. And my eyes widened when I saw his name on my notification bar.

oliverus_ liked your post.

"May nagbabalik?" pang-aasar ni Clara na nakasilip pala sa laptop ko. "Stalk mo, dali!" 

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. "Tumigil ka nga! May pamilya na 'yong tao, eh! Ayaw kong maging kabit, gaga!" 

"Ista-stalk mo lang naman, eh! Hindi ko naman sinabing babalikan mo." Sabi niya. Kinuha niya ang laptop ko at siya na ang gumawa. She clicked on his profile. "Ay shala! Sikat ex mo!"

The latest picture he uploaded was 3 weeks ago. It was a picture of the little kid that I saw at the mall... her daughter. 

oliverus_: happy birthday, my beloved.

Ang sumunod na post ay picture ng sunset. The sunset reminded me so much of us... Some of our memories went back into my mind. From the first time that we watched the sunset together... From the moment I officially became his girlfriend while the sun was setting. 

oliverus_: missing u

"Kapal ng mukha ni gago," naiinis na sabi ni Clara. "Miss mo mukha mo." Pagalit na scrinoll ni Clara pababa ang mga posts ni Oliver at nagulat kami pareho nang makita na halos picture ko at picture namin ang mga dati niyang post.
