"MY!" tawag ko pero hindi sya lumilingon.
"Vanj!" I called again but it's no use.
'Naguguluhan ako. Bakit sya nagagalit ngayon?'
I then run para lang maabutan sya. I held her left arm to stop her.
"My..." I said to her as I catch my breath.
"Bitaw." Mariing sabi nya nung makarating ako sa harapan nya.
'There is something wrong. Nararamdaman ko.'
"I won't unless we talk."
'Please.'
"Ayoko." Sabi nya kasabay ng pag-alis ng kamay ko sa braso nya. She then started walking ahead.
'Aish!'
"Vanj please!" I said as I walk after her. We are making a scene here. "Mag-usap naman tayo."
"I'm going home." She said, still walking ahead of me.
'AMP!'
"May problema ba tayo?" tanong ko, hoping she'll stop but she didn't.
"Vanj!"
"Gusto ko ng umuwe."
'Amp naman oh.'
"Fine. Ihahatid na kita." I offered as I caught up.
"No thanks." Naiiritang sagot nya. Hindi paren sya tumitigil sa paglalakad.
"Hey Vanj... let's talk." Pangungulit ko.
'Napapadalas na to ah.'
"Tigilan mo ko Paolo pwede ba?" she said that shocked me.
AMP. She called me by my first name.
"Ano na naman bang problema Vanj?" kunot-noo kong tanong.
She sighed. Ginulo nya ang buhok nya pagkatapos ay hinawakan nya ang bewang nya. She stopped and faced me.
'sa wakas.'
Agad akong lumapit sa kanya. Hahawakan ko sana sya pero umatras sya.
"Paolo please." She said
"Tell me what's wrong." I said.
Silence came in between us. I am looking at her while she's looking on the ground. I wanna know what's inside her mind.
I sighed. I wanted to hug her but she seemed so distant.
"Nakakapagod na Pao." She said breaking the silence.
"What?"
'What is she talking about?'
"Aren't you tired of this?" She asked, now looking into my eyes. There, I noticed something's really wrong.
"So what if we argue almost everyday?" sagot ko.
Alam naman namin na malaki talagang conflict ang sched naming dalawa. She's taking up Nursing while I'm taking up Engineering. We're fourth year college now. She's graduating while I still have to finish a year more.
She didn't talk.
"So you're telling me pagod ka na?" I have a bad feeling about this convo.
She looked somewhere and I saw her wiped her face.
'Is she crying?'
I clenched my fist.
"Ayaw mo na?" hindi ko alam kung anong naisip ko at yun ang nasabi ko.
Hindi paren sya nagsasalita.
"Pucha naman Vanj. Magsalita ka naman." I clenched my teeth.
"Pano kung sabihin kong pagod na pagod na ko? Ayaw ko na, OO!" she said, crying. Kung alam lang nya kung gano kahirap para saken ang makita syang umiiyak pero wala akong magawa.
'Sh*t! Ayoko talagang nakikita syang umiiyak.'
"So you're saying-----" she cut me off when she said...
.
.
.
"Let's break up."
I can't describe what I felt hearing that from her.
She said as easy as that. Tss.
"Okay. Let's break up." I said, turn my back and walk away from her.
