Admiring Her From Afar

23 - Graduation

KAIA

G-graduate na ako! Finally, im gonna achieve the thing that I've been waiting for all my life. Finally i can live the life that i wanted to live.

If you're asking about Ms. Vivien, i didn't see her this day. Glad Ms. Alejandro told me that Ms. Vivien is now happy with her new husband, and her 3 kids. Im so glad to hear that after 5 years, 5 years since the last time we've contacted each other. It's now graduation, dahil lang naman sa past husband niya kung bakit kami nagkagulo diba? I lied, and Ms. Vivien lied as also, we both lied to each other that says that we don't actually deserve each other.

Ms. Vivien told me that she loves me more than her husband but when she need to pick between me and my husband ofcourse she picked her husband. Kabit lang naman ako all the time, may boyfriend din ako. Napaka redflag ng relationship namin so we've decided to stop it.

I have a bf and she have a husband.

I'm forced to have my bf, I'm forced to pick my bf instead of the girl that i loved so much. She probably hates me until now.
I hated her, i hated her before after picking her husband over me.

But i had to accept it and moved on since kabit lang ako.

And about Ms. Alejandro? Wala akong balita sa lovelife niya, forever single na ata siya hahaha.

" Kaia Theya Frances ....................... " Pagkatapos ng iyon at umakyat na ako sa stage. Nakalinya lahat ng teacher sa gilid na kakamayin ko.

Nakita ko siya. Nakita ko si Ms. Vivien sa dulo.

Kinagat ko ang labi ko nung siya na ang kakamayan ko.

Nung kinamayan ko siya ay randam ko ang init ng kanyang kamay at kung gaano siya tumitingin. Tila sinasabi ng kanyang mata na " I've been waiting for you, my love. "

But i moved on.

Pagkatapos ko siya kamayan ay bumaba na ako at sinalubong ako ng boyfriend ko at hinug. Hinug ko siya pabalik. Nararamdaman ko ang init ng tingin saakin ni Ms. Vivien. Pero bakit? She has a husband. Di nako aasa na babalik siya saakin.

Our relationship before is a lie, and di na pwede yon maulit.

Narinig ko ay buntis ulit siya.

At wala na ang kanyang asawa.

Nauna na kaming umalis ni Troy. At dumiretso sa kotse.

Nakita kong tumatakbo papunta saakin si Ms. Vivien na Umiiyak. Bakit?

" C-can i talk to her? "

Tumingin pa ng masama sakanya si Troy ngunit pinayagan naman ako, di alam ni troy ang relasyon namin dati. Tumango nalang si Troy at hinitak ako ni Mrs. Vivien papunta sa office niya, nag elevator kami papunta doon at hawak hawak niya parin ang kamay ko. Nung makadating kami sa office ay hinalikan niya ako, kadahilanan ng pagkatulak ko sakanya.

" Congratulations for graduating. "

" You really came huh? "

" Ofcourse, a promise is a promise. "

" I really didn't expect this. "

" Understandable, it's been a few years since we've contacted each other. "

" Yeah, it's been 5 years. "

" Exactly 5 years since your parents ask me to stay awak from you to recover and focus on your studies, and space. "

" Mrs. Vivien, im sorry. "

" it's okay, i think giving you 5 years of space is enough. Can you comeback to me now? "

" Did you....wait for me "

" i did, i was waiting for you patiently. I was waiting for you until you graduated. "

"...."

" So...can you comeback to me now? " She says while smiling painfully.

" Im sorry. "

" hey don't be. I understand, just comeback to me now? "

" Mrs. Vivien.."

" Yeah? "

" Im afraid i can't do that, im sorry. "

" Is it because you need more space? I can give you that " at humagulgul siya na dahilan na tumulo rin ang aking luha.

" No, its not that. It's just because.. "

" Because? "

" Because i didn't know that you're waiting for me, and I've...moved on " nakita ko ang sakit sakaniyang mata.

" Oh. "

" Im sorry "

" It's okay, but can i ask you a favor? "

" Sure, go ahead. "

" Can you break up with me? Can you give me an actual break up so i can move on? "

" What? "

" You've never made it clear to me in those 5 years of waiting that we've broke up. You never gave me an actual break up. "

" Im sorry, Mrs. Vivien. "

" Please give me one because if you dont, I'll keep on holding onto you. And im not angry because you have a boyfriend. I wasn't going to leave you after knowing that, you asked me to give you space and i thought it's for your studies and i waited for you to graduate just for you to comeback to me "

" Im sorry, Mrs. Vivien. I am breaking up with y-you. "

"..."

" We're breaking up and there will be no more of us. "

" Thank you, Kaia. And congratulations on your graduation. "

" Im sorry that you waited for nothing, Mrs. Vivien. "
