Apat na linggo ang bumubuo sa isang buwan. Apat na taon na ang tinagal ng kanilang pagmamahalan. Ngunit isang araw, ang tatapos ng lahat.
Miguel Chua
"Gel, I want space." Sabi ni Faye, hirap na hirap sya, may mga luha nang tumutulo sakanyang mga mata.
"Do you really want it? Because I think your eyes are saying otherwise." Sabi ko sakanya, pinipigilan ang panginginig ng boses ko.
"Yes, I want it. So bad." She looked away. I want her to look at me but she won't.
"Why Faye? Please tell me why." Punong puno ng pagmamakaawa ang boses ko.
"This love is just too consuming. Hindi ko alam Miguel, pero kapag hindi ko ginawang lumayo muna sayo ay maiwawala ko ang sarili ko. Natatakot ako." And true enough, I heard that fear in her voice.
"At sa tingin mo mawawala yang takot mo na yan kapag lumayo ka sa akin?" Ayokong tanungin pero kailangan. At tumango sya. Shit.
"Are you scared because you're not seeing a bright future with me?" She won't talk. "Answer me!" Hindi ko na napigilan ang pagsigaw. She's making me so frustrated.
"You need this too, Miguel. Believe me. Alamin mo kung ano talagang gusto mo at ako, hahanapin ko ulit ang sarili ko." She answered.
"I'm taking that as a yes." Hinawakan ko sya sakanyang magkabilang braso at inalog sya, "Damn it, Faye. I want you. You can't just leave me hanging, when I'm so damn inlove with you."
"Please, let me go Miguel. Nasasaktan ako."
And with that, I did let her go. Kitang kita ko ang sakit, pagmamahal, takot at pagmamakaawa sa mukha nya. Hindi ko kayang tagalan pang tignan ang mga matang iyon. Ang hirap. Ang hirap hirap kaya nagsimula akong tumalikod sakanya tsaka nagsalita.
"I'm inlove with you, Faye. I know that you know that very well, you are my angel and you're my love. I'm so sorry I'm not good enough. I'm sorry I will never be." Maglalakad na sana ako paalis ng bigla syang magsalita. Hindi ako lumingon pero huminto ako sa paglalakad.
"I'm inlove with you too, Miguel. But I can't be your angel for a while we'll figure things out and everything's gonna be okay, just please take care of yourself. I swear, I'll come back to you. I would always come back to you, love."
"I hope so." It was all I could say and started to walk away.

Nandito ako sa anniversary party ng parents ko, gusto ko sanang maging masaya kasi cinecelebrate nila ang 25 years ng marriage nila ngayon, pero hindi ko alam kung paano. Kaya nagdiretso ako sa kwarto ko instead makiparty sa kanila. Nagtalo nanaman kasi kami ni Faye kanina eh.
Nagulat ako kasi naabutan ko si Marga sa kwarto ko, she's my younger sister by the way.
"What are you doing here, Marga?"
"Kuya kanina ka pa nila iniintay. Where have you been?" Nagaalalang tanong ni Marga.
"I just went to Faye kanina, chill." Sabi ko at ngumiti sakanya.
"Kuya, anong secret nyo ni Ate Faye, paano kayo tumagal ng five years?" Tanong sakin ng kapatid kong si Margareth.
"Bakit mo naman natanong, Marga?" Napakarandom lang kasi nung tanong nya, usually kasi inaasar nya ako when it comes to Faye, pero ngayon she looks so serious sa tanong nya.
"Uh- K-kasi Kuya, uhm, sinagot ko na kasi yung nanliligaw sakin, si Sebastian." Sabi nya without looking at me.
"What?" Sino ba namang hindi magugulat dun, ang balita ko, loko loko yung Sebastian na yun.
