“What the hell, Augustine?! Why did you that, huh?!” I asked him. I punched his chest so many times, and he did nothing, he even didn‘t stop me.

“I‘m sorry, Eve. I didn‘t mean to,” he said. Napatigil ako sa pagsuntok sa kaniyang dibdib. Lumuluhang tiningnan siya nang deretso sa kaniyang mga mata.

“You didn‘t mean to what?! You didn‘t mean to fell with another girl while you promised at me that you will come back on me, huh?” Napayuko naman siya nang marinig niya iyon. “Ilang taon mo akong pinaghintay, Augustine. Tangina naman,” I said frustrated.

“I‘m sorry. But believe me, I tried to stop this feeling on her many times, yet I failed. Mahal ko na siya, Eve, pasensya na,”

“Kailan pa? Kailan pa nagsimula ’yang pesteng nararamdaman mo sa kaniya?!”

“Two months ago...” Napapikit ako‘t napasapo ako sa aking noo.

“Grabe, Augustine. I can‘t believe! I can‘t fucking believe you chose that girl you‘ve only met two months ago over me that you met 10 fucking years ago,”

It‘s true. We met 10 years ago. We‘re both 16 at that time, schoolmates turns into bestfriend, and when we finally 18, we started dating. He‘s my first love, first boyfriend, my first at everything.

But he left me five years ago. He left me with a promise.

“Anong nangyari sa pangako mo, Augustine? Na saan na ’yung ‘Babalik ako. Babalik ako sa ’yo’? Nawala na! Nawala kasama noong iniwan mo ako! Limang taon akong naghintay sa ’yo. Limang taon akong naghintay sa pagbabalik mo. Pero ano ’tong nalaman ko ngayong bumalik ka? I‘ve been waiting for someone who fell in love with another girl.”
