Eye Contact

Short story

I can still remember the day my eyes were set on someone's.

Sky
The woman i'm glued to paragraphs that will comfort you even when im not besides you. Here are some of poems i keep writing for you sabi nya sakin.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako natatakot isipin na mawala s'ya balang araw sakin.

So nag simula na nga yung busy day ko dahil nag tratrabaho ako sa isang call center.amira sundoin na kita sabi nya,sabi ko hindi pa ako tapos dahil marami pa akong ginagawa.ill wait for you my love sky said. Hindi ko talagang maiwasang mag tanong sakannya kung bakit nag eeffort s'ya para lang pasayahin ako,sky said because your my soon to be wife s'yempre kinikilig nanaman ang ante nyo.

Tapos pag ka tapos ng work ko dumeretsyo kami sa favorite naming tambayan tinanong ko s'ya"sky do you still remember no'ng una tayong nag kita?.sky said of course i must say that you're not good at hiding your admiration with someone.duhh na huli nga rin kitang naka titig sakin that time.pero sinadya mo talagang i sigaw yung fb name mo dun sa cafe hmm sky said.nag friend request kanaman sabi ko sakannya.

Tapos pag ka tapos naming mag kulitan at mag lambingan hinatid n'ya na ako sa bahay namin.sky chat mo ko ah if naka uwi kana.sige my darling ohh pak may paganun si pareng sky,tapos pag ka tapos umakyat na ako sa taas sa kwarto ko para mag bihis,tapos tinawag na ako ng kapatid kong maldita para kumain,pag ka tapos kong kumain pumasok na ako sa kwarto ko,at binuksan ko yung messenger ko,at bumungad sakin yung 50 message ni sky.

Darling naka uwi na ako at safe naman akong naka uwi don't worry okay sky said,tapos nireplyan ko na mga chat n'yang sobrang dami.tapos natulog ako ng mga 8:30pm tas nagising ako ng 12:00 am kase na gugutom ako,at binuksan ko yung messenger ko naka online si sky kaya chinat ko sya pero reply nya lang eh. Baby i need to finish something I'll be back chat kita later,and don't overthink okay I'll just send you a video later on how my day went.

Hinintay ko chat nya kaso wla nakaka tampo naman yun diba.
Tinanong ko sya kung hindi paba sya matutulog ang sabi n'ya lang sakin mauna kana. S'yempre na kaka offend naman yun diba ehh nasanay akong sabay kaming natutulog,nag ooverthink tuloy ako what if mag cheat s'ya, what if mawalan na s'ya ng tim sakin, what if may nag papasaya saya na sa kannya ngayon.

But in the end of the day, were all in charge of what we bring,or decided in our lives.

How can you be so calm?
Tapos ako,super dramatic.
Eh di mas sasakit ulo mo pag parehas tayong ma drama sky said.ah so sakit ako sa ulo mo ganun?tanong ko sakann'ya,sagot nya naman sakin eh "sometimes but it's okay para may trill.

In the next day.....

Naka receive ako ng message galing kay simoun,san ka he asked.Im here at SB,sinong kasama mo he asked again.My groupmates my tinapos lang kaming work sabi kong ganun tapos sabi nya wag ka nang mag com-mute later,pa punta na ako jan para hintayin,at sundoin ka sabi nya.ok drive safely i replyad.

Until hindi ko na na mamalayang nag kakalabuan na pala kami...

Hindi kana nag kwe-kwento sa akin  is something bothering you?he asked. Nag ka sabay sabay lang talga kase yung problema i reply.
Make me understand please,madalas nakasing hindi kita na aabutang online ayaw mo ring mag pa kita saakin he said.

Family and academic problems ate me.Until dumating yung araw na gusto konang makipag hiwalay sakann'ya.

I want to break up with you
What's your reason he asked,i can't be your girlfriend anymore.
Then be my wife he reply.
Hindi ako nakikipag biroan simoun
Please you're not part of my priorities anymore,and i know na ramdam mo yun I'm choosing my dream, I'm choosing my self.

Sky reply...
I don't understand it is so easy for you to leave,and say those words like i never matter to you,lagi kitang hinihintay na mag sabi sakin ng mga problema mo,i tried to understand your side,kahir hindi ko naramdaman na iniintindi mo ako,but please im begging you to stay hurt me just don't give up on us.

That day,i couldn't think straight. He wanted to fight for us, while i wanted to walk away.

At pag ka tapos nun nag message yung mother n'ya sakin.sabi ni tita sakin"balikan mo na yung anaka ko,ija ang laki ng pinag bago n'ya simula nung mag hiwalay kayo,im begging you kahit kausapin mo lang ulit s'ya,i am so worried na baka may mangyari sakann'ya

But i listened to no one...

After 4years i saw him again his eyes don't recognize me anymore.

At nag post ako sa ig na....
Our paths crossed again,and that's when i realized my eyes where still longing for the sight of him,but his eyes didn't land on mine.His now blind,and i blame my self for letting him live a miserable life after i left him.
However I still managed to be happy upon seeing him with someone
New yesterday na nakaalalay sakan'ya.

Sky sa malayo na lang kita tatanawin dahil hindi mo na rin naman ako makikita pa.
