We parted ways a few years back. But I guess was never really the end.
I'm sure there's a reason kung bakit pinagtagpo ulit kami, kung bakit konektado parin ang mga buhay namin.
"We're done, Jeron. It's over."she said before leaving me behind.
No Kim. It's not yet over.
I looked up at the balcony. I'm not expecting her to stay there again, lalo pa na alam niyang nandito pa rin ako. But seeing her tonight makes me want to get her back. Her words hit me like daggers. But seeing her with someone else is the worst feeling I could ever feel. And I hate to feel it, again.
"I'll fight for you." I said, still staring at the balcony where I saw her earlier. "No matter what."
I got in my car and started driving. I checked on my phone. 8 missed calls and 13 messages all from Eliza. Binalik ko na ulit yung phone ko sa dashboard. I am not in the mood to talk to her. And I don't think I still would want to see her.
Dumiretso na ako sa dorm instead of going to my house. Ayoko munang umuwi kasi alam ko, pagagalitan lang ako ni mommy sa pag-iwan k okay Eliza sa kalye. I don't think I can give her a good excuse for what I did tonight. Alam ko rin namang mali ako, pero I just couldn't take it.
I parked my car when I reached the dorm. As soon as I got out, napansin ko agad ang kotse ni Ahia. Don't tell me he's here? Sana naman di niya dinala dito si Eliza.
I went in, and I saw my brother talking to Almond and LA.
"Oh, nandito na pala si Jeron!" Almond said.
Napalingon si Jeric sa akin and he stood up.
"Maiwan nalang namin kayo bro." paalam ni LA kay kuya.
Jeric nodded. "Salamat bro."
Hinintay muna ni kuya na makaalis sila bago siya nagsalita.
"What is wrong with you?" he asked, halatang naiirita.
Nilagpasan ko siya bago umupo sa couch. "Not now kuya."
Tumayo siya sa harap ko na nakapamewang pa. "Anong not now? Jeron, hindi mo ba narealize kung ano yung ginawa mo kanina? You left your girlfriend sa isang madilim na kanto!"
I rested my head and cover my eyes with my arm. "Alam ko namang sinundan mo kami eh."
"Still!" he said, halatang naiinis na. "Pwede ba! Umayos ka diyan at kinakausap pa kita!"
Inayos ko ang upo ko ng padabog. "Did you just came here para sermonan ako kuya? Pwede ba pagod ako."
"Pagod din ako Jeron." He said. "Kaya nga naiinis ako sa'yo eh! You were out somewhere, while you left your girlfriend with me!"
