"Can we watch a movie later?"
Nagsalubong ang kilay ko. I can hear her baby talking to Peyton. That's... eww. I rolled my eyes. I have been calling him Peyton to my mind because that's what Sanya called him earlier.
We're inside the Café. Nasa pink themed kami dahil nasa kabila — dark themed — ang iba. I'm really curious why Peyton was still here. All of his friends were inside while he was in here. I took a glimpse at the other side. I just saw them talking to Thadz, and if some were not, they were quiet as if hating the new people around them.
"Sure. Sabihan ko na lang sila Kyle mamaya." I heard Peyton's monotone voice.
Does he need to be that nonchalant in front of Sanya? Like... kung ako 'yon, hindi ko gagano'nin si Sanya.
Uh, geez. What am I thinking?
"But... I don't want them around us!" Sanya was still speaking in a cringey baby voice. I stood up to get some water.
But I almost lost on my tracks when I saw how she clung to Peyton's arm. Sinandal niya pa ang ulo niya sa balikat ni Peyton.
In a blink, I remembered the day she left. The day I was supposed to be happy but no. I fought for her, but...
Pumunta ako sa water dispenser. I saw how Sanya smiled at Peyton.
... but look at her now. So happy and successful. One day, she can build her own family.
Yet, here I am. So bitter. The person who wants to forget her. The person who waited for her. That person who almost lost everything just for her.
Who's gonna be just part of her youth.
Forgotten.
Hated.
Unlovable.

I sighed when I heard Thadz calling my name. Geez. For how long would I be like this?
"I'll be needing the Financial Plan of my company. It was at the third drawer on a cabinet in my room."
My left eyebrow of mine rose. In his room? For real? Is it that important to be in his personal space, or was he just forgotten to put it in his office?
Napailing na lang ako habang papunta sa kwarto niya. It's been days and... unfortunately, I can see every person in the house.
It's still not helping knowing that Peyton was always at Sanya's Café. Hindi na rin ako bumibili doon dahil nasobrahan na sa pait ang katawan ko.
Pero kulang sa tapang.
Napabuntong-hininga ako at nag-angat ng tingin sa pinto ng kwarto ni Thadz. Pinihit ko ang door knob at bumungad sa akin ang isang black and white minimalist na kwarto.
Uh... okay. I thought this would be much more colorful than this. He has this playful and colorful aura, so I thought he would have the same. 'Yong office niya, iba't-iba rin ang kulay, kulang na lang maging rainbow 'yon. This is so unexpected.
Pumunta ako sa tabi ng kama niya. A folder was lying on his study table just beside his bed. Napailing na lang ako nang mapansing bukas 'yong table lamp niya. Pagkapatay ko doon, napansin ko namang bukas ang closet niya.
I can't believe this! Why could he be so disorganised!
Lumapit ako sa closet niya at doon may napansing kakaiba. Natigilan ako nang makakita ng isng note. Sa tabi no'n ay dalawang tao sa isang picture. It was him years ago... with a girl.
