"You can't just drop me like a hot potato Angel. I did everything you told me. May kulang pa ba?" Napataas naman ako ng kilay sa sinabi ni Adrian. He's just my toy just like what he did to me in our college years.
Call me a demon but hell yeah I am. Wala kong pake sa sinasabi ng ibang tao. Criticism are part of us. Pake ko sa kanila hindi naman nila ako binubuhay.
"I appreciate your effort Adrian but I'm tired of our little drama. I have given you enough time para maging girlfriend ako. Hindi pa ba sapat na kabayaran yun para sa ginawa mo?"
"But you told me you love me"
Ngumiti naman ako. Like the usual fake smile I do when I felt the urge to smack someone's face.
"Uhuh . Yes I told you I love you. I love my toys Adrian but I don't love them as persons. And you are one of them. Just be thankful na nagsayang ako ng oras sayo"
And I step out of the room na hindi man lang ito nililingon. I heard him cuss before I fully closed his office door. Wala syang karapatang magalit sakin kasi alam nyang ako ang unang napaglaruan saming dalawa.
Papunta ako ngayon sa apartment ni Eri. This is my second plan tell her what Migo feels for her and take back Migo again. He's mine. Hindi ko naman dapat talaga sya hihiwalayan pero kailangan.
Ngayong narealize ko kung gaano ko pa sya kamahal and this time ipaglalaban ko na sya.
When I reached Eri's apartment wala sya don. Nadatnan ko lang sya sa baba nito. I told her everything. And that's when Migo came in.
I begged, I almost begged for another chance. I want to try again. To be loved again. And yes, pumayag sya.
Akala ko masisiyahan ako na magkasama kami but I'm wrong. Madalas syang tulala even now na katatapos lang ng announcement ng engagement namin.
"You're not alright" At umupo ako sa tabi nya.
"You should've have ask me first Angel" Ngumiti pa ito. "I'm alright. I'm perfectly fine"
Gusto kong paniwalaang totoo yon. But I'm Angel and I don't believe in lies. All my life nabuhay ako sa kasinungalingan ng tao sa paligid ko so that's when I learned how to determine what's true and what's not.
"Okay. You should rest" Hinalikan ko sya sa pisngi bago sya iniwan.
"Is it okay na hindi kita ihatid?" Tumango naman ako.
"Yeah I can handle"
Iniwan ko sya sa condo nya. The warmth has gone. Hindi na kami katulad ng dati. Kung sana hindi ako bumitaw edi sana maayos kami ngayon.
I'm not forcing him to love me again but I'm hoping that he will forget Eri eventually lalo na ikakasal na kami.
"You're not even happy kahit ikakasal ka na" Puna ng nagiisa kong matayog na kaibigan. Sya lang yung kayang sakyan yung nakakainis kong ugali. I'm prank. If I hate you then I hate you no need for further explanations.
"Do you even see me smiling like an idiot? Ever?" She rolled her eyes heavenwards.
"You will not be happy if you'll be like that Angel. Alam ko si Migo lang ang taong minahal mo. It's your fault for letting him go. Masyadong mababaw ang dahilan mo para iwan sya dati and now what? Nasa iba na sya. May iba na rin syang mahal"
