After what happened in the airport, Saint, changed.
I'm busy, Love.
I'm sorry i have something to do. Bawi nalang ako.
can we move our date next week? It's really urgent.
I'm sorry, love. Promise babawi talaga ako.
He's looking distant whenever he's with me. Always on his phone, as if he's waiting for someone's message. He got up as soon as he received a message, i just watched him went outside to call. He didn't even bother to looked at me.
Minutes after he came back grabbing his things.
" Something came up. Just book a cab ,bawi nalang ako sa susunod" Bawi ka nalang sa susunod? ilang beses mo ng sinabi yan Saint.
Why do i feel like we slowly drifting apart? Why do i feel anytime.... Saint.
It stings. He didn't even wait for me to talk he just left me here alone as i watched his car slowly disappearing.
Damn? Tangina. Ilang taon na kami pero bakit? I shouldn't overthink but it started when his ex came back. Of course, his first ever ex whi loved deeply wala naman dapat ipagselos. I'm his present.
Present nga pero parang panakip butas lang. Saint, You still inloved with her right? Tangina mo kung ganun.
I left the restaurant and went home. I didn't bother to tell it to my friends dahil alam kong maiinis lang sila but that's what i thought. My phone started to rang continuously sign that my friends are already contacting me through our gc.
I opened it my messages pero sana pala ay hindi na. Seven sent a a screenshot. It's a post. Magkasama si Saint at ang ex niya, He's smiling widely like how he smiled at me.
He's holding her shoulder like how he did to me. The caption stings it hurts like hell ' Can we start over again?'
I swallowed hard, my hands are shaking. I tried to search his ex's username in twt but to my surprise i was blocked. She purposely blocked me so that she could post a photo of her and my boyfriend.
I firmly closed my eyes, it hurts. Saint you're breaking me when you promise not too. You promised you'll never let me experience same heartbreak but why?
" Bunso. Bakit ka umiiyak jan?" Napatingin ako sa kuyang kong kakagaling sa trabaho niya. He's on still on his suit.
" So you're boyfriend finally decided ro cheat on you ganun ba yun? " I bit my lower lip ,still believing that Saint won't cheat on me.
But Seven's screen shot is enough. He said urgent, the urgent was his ex. Saint,you jerk.
I tried to call Saint but it was just three rings he hang up. I tried again but still the same. I heard my brother let out a heavy sigh and took my phone turning it off as he seriously looked at me.
" Break up with him. Ayokong umiiyak ka Hidam."
" Mas masakit yang suggestion mo kuya."
"So? Para isahang iyak nalang. Break yo with him." I just bit my lower lip didn't bother to argue back. I took my phone from him and went inside my room.
It's always like this. Eversince that day his ex came back. A fucking cursed.
The next day, Saint promise to fetch me but i waited for him infront of our house but no Saint came, the one who came was his friend.
"Heath.. Where's Saint?" Heath shruggled his shoulder and just signaled me to enter his car so i did.
Heath and I are not that close, We just don't click as a friend. Just like what they said.
Your boyfriend's friends will never be your friend.
Heath and I is the proof.
I looked down while playing with my fingers. It became my habit whenever i feel anxious or uncomfortable. But then i heard his deep sigh before pulling over.
I looked at him confused. He massage his temple before taking his phone out and giving it to me.
" Swipe it." He said. I slowly took his phone pero sana hindi ko nalang pala kinuha. My tears started to fall. Saint's stolen pictures with his ex.
Sa bar, Sa mall, Arcade, park, Beach, pool kahit sa school library. They're so close and.... like a couple.
" I'm not taking a pictures with your boyfriend and his ex to snitch. I took it incase I finally talk to you and show some proofs. He's my friend but I don't tolerate cheaters." He seriously said taking his phone back to me.
My hands are cold, and i couldn't breath properly. Saint really? Sa tagal na namin ay nagawa niya pading magloko.
We already have plans but i guess , I'm going to experience another heartbreak.
" I'm not going to drive until you calm down. Ayokong isipin nila na pinaiyak kita. Calm down and fix yourself." He handed me his handkerchief kaya tinanggap ko yun.
It hurts. it stings, feels like I'm being stabbed by thousand of needles. I couldn't breath.
" Cry. Silent cries are the most painful, I know it hurts but let it out. It's you and me are the only one inside of my car. Cru it out loud" I heard him said making me cried harder.
No words can explain how much i appreciate Heath's help. He really didn't drive until i calm down, he's true to his words. He waited for me to calm down and fixed my self before starting his car engine.
We stayed silent the whole ride, no one bother to say a word.
" Thanks."Mahinang lintya ko pero tama na yun para marinig niya ,he nodded and gave me his faint smile before i head back to my classroom.
Seven is the first person to welcomed me. My Bestfriend.
" You cried." He greeted.
" My god! Makita ko lang talaga yang lalaking yan sasabunutan ko punyeta siya!" Seven said annoyed as he grabbed my arm ,snaking his arms around.
He then smiled.
" Pasalamat ka dahil hindi nakapasok si Miss. Anyways, Tara library? Tulog doon. Mayang 1pm pa next class natin eh" I smiled and nodded.
Right, I still have my friends with me.
We went to the library which we shouldn't do.
I saw Saint with her ex again.
I could feel Seven's murder aura beside me. He was about to go to them but i just stopped him.
" Let's not create a mess here." I whispered.
" Pero Hidam!" He hissed i just shook my head trying to stopped him , but in the end he just sigh ,sign that he surrendered.
I called Saint's number and he answered it.
" Where are you?"
Oh. Library. Why?
" Who's with you? "
Heath, Talk to you later love. We're busy.
I gripped my phone before leaving the library.
Heath? When You're with your ex! Magkasama lang kami ni Heath kanina!
" Isang linggo na, Hidam. Isang linggo nang nagsisinungaling si Saint sayo.."
But I wanted to work things out. Gusto ko pang lumaban. Isang linggo lang naman babalik parin si Saint saakin.
" Kaya ko pa naman eh."
" Hidam...."
Mahalaga saakin to. I already secured everything. Our promised was still here. Saint is the only person who i see myself getting married to wala ng iba.
Saint please. Don't break me like how he break me.
