Under the Shades of Sky

Chapter 38

"Let's break up." a man uttered as he removed a ring and throwed it somewhere.

Hindi ko makita ang mukha niya pero ramdam ko ang pamumuo ng luha ko.

"5 months, Celestine! Paano mo nakakayanang yakap-yakapin ako?! Pano mo nakakayanang halikan ako kung may iba ka din naman palang hinahalikan sa labas?!" he roared like thunder.

Something pinch my heart. Bakit ganon? Bakit nasasaktan ako sa mga sinasabi niya? Hindi ko makita ang mukha niya kasi malabo pero...parang sinasabi ng puso ko na yakapin siya. I felt my heart longing for something I can't explain.

"We've been engaged for almost six months!" he yelled. "Can you believe that?! Six months, Celestine and you still cheated on me!" the man shouted.

I'm engaged? And I cheated? Do I do such a thing? Am I a bad person? Do I deserve what I'm experiencing right now?

Tears streamed on my face as I watched him getting closer to me. I just stood there watching him insult and point a finger to me.

"Nate, masakit... binatawan mo na ko." halos pabulong na saad ko.

I didn't know where I got those words. It just came out of my mouth randomly.

Is he Nate? Is he my fiancé? If he was, then why was he hurting me?

"I'm not your fiancé anymore! Leave my condo, I don't like cheaters and I don't accept crooks in my unit!" he yelled and pushed me outside.

And in just a second, I'm in a different place...a very serene place. Mas magaan ang pakiramdam ko ngayon kesa kanina.

"Your eyes were always my favorite trap. You might not know but I've fallen into your beautiful trap many times." a man said while kneeling in front of me.

It's the same man as earlier but I still can't see his face.

"I remember all the laughter, crammings, breakdowns, developments, night reviews and every little fight we had."

"My doctor... my first and last love..."

"Amadeia Celestine Romero...will you marry me?"

Then another force pulled me back as the same voice spoke different lines.

"Let's go to a drive thru. I'm sure you're hungry."

"Just add your birthday and mine."

"1433."

"Good bye, Ayat. Let's talk next time, when things are already stable."

"De nada, Señorita Celestine."

"Here, idiot. You looked so dehydrated."

"Idiot, you need to remember that the clouds does cry when things feel too heavy. Kapag puno na ang timba kailangan mabawasan para hindi mabigat at hindi umawas."

"Don't spoil my advice okay. Let me speak first."

"I'm not! Okay, next question. What if... just WHAT IF. Don't take it seriously."

"What if someone likes you now and is just afraid to take the risk, would you like him back?"

"What the! Paanong ginayuma? I don't even know that term!" sabi niya at hawak ang ulo.

"Tara sa park mamaya."

"Really? How about the 'Señor! Look into your way! Nasaktan yung bata! Hindi ka man lang ba mag sosorry?!"
