"Yes." my heart clenched. "Was it painful?"

He sadly smiled at me and a tear suddenly fell from my eyes as he crashed his lips against mine, but his lips reminds me of someone in the past, the past that has been reminding me in my dreams that I couldn't even figure out if it's just fake or not.

My heart was beating so fast and I feel like it has lots of questions that I don't know what it is, my heart fell in love with someone who couldn't love me back the same as how I loved him.

I don't think the past will remain in the past even if I reminisce them, because my love for him is still with me after years. I remember my love and affection but not what happened to me in the past.

His hands went inside to my blazer as he slowly removes them from my arms, I was catching my breath when he didn't stop kissing and playing my lips, I found myself laying on the sofa half-naked as he pinned both of my hands and he's in between my thighs, kneeling down as he showered me with kisses down to my neck.

Kale stopped kissing me and fell beside me as his right arms reached me and turned me to his, his eyes were closed and I can see his tears streaming down from his eyes until he was sobbing loudly which makes his shoulder move with his sob.

"I'm sorry..." he murmured, his voice breaking, "I'll tell you...I promise, just not in this one..."

"You don't have to force yourself just to remember that past, you can ask and I answer that, but I can't tell what you feel." My heart clenched, so I had past memories and that was my weird dreams?

"My first question will be you." I look at him. "Who really are you?" I felt like my heart just got hit by an arrow because of this weird feeling, and that weird feeling is pain by looking at his eyes.

"A friend since we're Eight." He drew out a deep breath. "Bakit hindi kita ma-alala?" pabalik kong tanong sa kanya, and another tear fell from my eyes and letting them fall without wiping them.

"Kasi ginusto mo 'yon at pinilit mo ang sarili na makalimot sa 'kin." My heart even more felt painful than it is when he said that.

"Ano ka ba kasi buhay ko? Bakit ba ginusto kong makalimot sayo nang hindi ko man lang alam kung bakit?" derederetso kong sabi sa kanya dahilan nang hinihingal kong hininga.

"It's your personal feelings, Saive. Only you can answer that," he sighed.

"Fine. I'll let this pain be felt, but please tell me why I don't remember you when we met in Japan?" I wipe down my tears and stand up, I look at my surroundings and everyone already left.

"I should be the one asking you that," tumayo siya at naglakad papuntang balkonahe at sinundan ko.

"Ako ang nakalimot sa ating dalawa, Kale. I deserve to know the truth why you didn't get angry at me or whatever are we in the past, wala akong ka alam-alam kung bakit anong gusto kong maramdaman mo sa 'king nung panahong 'yon. So please...let me know why," iritang sabi ko sa kanya at kumuha ulit nang sigarilyo at sinindihan 'yon, then placing them in between my lips.

"I don't know Saive...I don't know, I just don't know what happened to us. Just ask any questions. And please stop smoking, I'm so sick of you watching you smoke just because you're stressed."

"Then leave me the fuck alone." I rolled my eyes and exhaled the smoke.

"I can't. I need you, and you need me. Someone is waiting for you for so long, only if you knew," my brows frowned because of what he's saying.

"Feel ko mas lalo mo lang ginugulo utak ko," I sighed.

"Magulo rin naman kasi buhay mo, even before you left me and came back with forgotten memories." My jaw clenched and look at him, he wasn't looking at me because his eyes were on the tower of Abuela. Tss.

"I only know our past, okay? Wala akong alam bakit nawalan ka nang alaala, and I was wondering how e hindi ka naman na aksidente o may sakit man lang, dahil ang alam ko 'healthy ka." I chuckled.

"Healthy my ass, e tig isang damak-makan na 'nga nang gamot ang iniinom ko kada linggo tas sasabihin mong 'healthy akong nilalang?" I rolled my eyes at tinapakan ang sigarilyo at umupo sa upuan na nakapuwesto sa may balkonahe ng kuwarto ko.

"Hindi ka naman umiinom nang gamot na 'yon, and I'm glad though kasi if you do, ipapa-rehab talaga kita."

"And why would you do that to me?" I raised a brow with an irritated tone to my voice. Why the fuck would he take me to rehab? Baliw ba siya?

"They're drugs, Lavinia. They are freaking fucking drugs for god's sake! that slowly kills your brain to clearly erase your past and it will kill you physically too."

Wait.

I was right. It was really drugs that's why I stopped taking them.

"You said you had no idea why I came back with forgotten memories, and why is that you knew that my medications were drugs? Was I really that bad to you in the past? That's why you think playing with my mind is the best thing to revenge on me?"

I felt pain in my heart, and I felt pain in his eyes, why is that being with him is painful even though he didn't even do something?

"Saive, do you really think I would do that to you? I'm the reason why you're in pain and please I'm begging you to stop over thingking anything I say, dahil ako ang tanging rason mo kung bakit nasaktan ka. I loved you so fucking much, Saive. Gusto at mahal kita kahit na kinalimutan mo ako, halos mawalan na ako ng pakialam sa sakit na naramadaman ko sayo noon dahil mahal kita, I have loved you since then and I couldn't tell you how much I love you even if you chase someone you really loved, I know it hurts but it will fade by just loving you in any way. And now you're thingking I'm taking my revenge on you? Fuck no, I'd rather accept and claim your revenge on me that letting you experience shitty jobs."

Lumuha na naman ang mga mata ko at biglang pumasok sa isip ko na wag ko nalang alahanin ang mga nakaraan ko baka sakaling mas lalo ang masasaktan kung ano man ang meron kami dati, hindi na ako umasang maibabalik pa sa dati kung totoo ba ang mga naalala ko sa ngayon.

"Remember the night we got drunk together?" I nodded. Was I that girl that night he was saying? Oh god. "Ikaw 'yon. Saive, Ikaw 'yung babaeng 'yon."

"What did you say?" Umawang ang labi ko at bahagyang napatingin sa gawi niya.

"Ikaw 'yon." pag-ulit niya at hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa mga pinagsasabi niya.

Then I felt something in my head that hit me like a needle, and I can feel the liquid dripping down to my neck, so I touch it and the blood was on my hands.

Kale was laying on the floor unconscious and the last thing I remembered was someone got my back before I collapsed, the only way I could recognize him is by the scent that I already smelled four years ago.
