Fixing A Broken Heart [Completed]

C30. So We Meet Again

Marco's POV

It's been a year already. And I've been in hell. Mas matindi pa 'to noong nag-cheat si Lara sakin. And mom said, she thinks, that my love for Justine is true. And if it is true, it' s worth fighting, dying amd living for.

But this is hard. She already moved on. I tried to reach out, kahit as friends lang muna since she came back from US. But she deliberately shutting me out. She never picked up my calls at madalang na madalang siyang magreply. At lagi lang Ok and Fine ang sagot niya.

What would I expect? I hurt her. I ruined her. That's why I deserve this kind of torment. And I am hoping... And praying that our story will still be given a chance. And I am willing to do everything just to have her back.

" Marco, let's go. We'll be late for church, anak. " untag ni mommy sakin. Tumalima naman ako kaagad at sumakay na sa SUV. Ako ang driver, Marisse is in the passenger's seat. Mom and dad is in the back seat at nasa dulo yung dalawa pang kambal.

Pagka dating namin ay dumiretso na kami sa hall kung saan gaganapin ang worship service. And all along, I was asking for God's forgiveness. And another chance for Justine.

While I was listening to the sermon, my phone beeped. It was Lara.

From: Lara

Hey! How are you? I'm here in the metro already. Paul's being an ass again. Masyadong pabebe. Haha. So, see you around.

To: Lara
Ok. See you!

Simpleng reply ko. Tinago ko na ang phone ko at muling nakinig. Pero hindi ko maiwasang hindi isipin si Lara.

It was a mistake that I drown myself again to her. Hindi ko man lang naisip noon na may girlfriend akong masasaktan, at sya naman ay may asawa. I was so closed minded. Ang alam ko lang ay mahal ko pa rin sya. But that longing is mistaken for love. I just loved that fact that I'm in love with her. When the truth is, wala na pala talaga. I've already moved on dahil si Justine na ang nagma-may ari ng puso ko.

Too late for us to realize. Wala na ang mga mahal namin. As what dad said, consequences.

I sighed. I just wish that the end, kahit nagkamali ako ay matulad ako sa love story ng parents ko. God! I can trade anything and everything that I have just to have that happy ending. At ang gusto ko lang ay kay Justine.

*******

" Men's room lang ako mom. Wait for me here. " paalam ko kay mommy. Tumango naman sya.

I was going inside nang may nakabangga akong lalaki.

" Sorry. " I apologized.

Tumango lang siya. And looked at me seriously na para bang nakakita sya ng pamilyar na tao. Pinagkibit balikat ko na lamang iyon saka tumuloy sa CR.

After that agad na rin akong lumabas. Because they are waiting for me.

I saw mom talking to someone. At nang mapagtanto ko kung sino iyon ay tumigil ang pag inog ng mundo ko. Suddenly, my heart thump so fast, it wanted to go out of my chest. It took me so much will power to stop myself from running to her and envelope her here in my arms.

Tin...

Ngiting ngiti akong lumapit sa kanila. Nakaharap siya kay mom at hindi niya ako nakikita. God! I missed her so! Ang tagal ko syang hindi nakita. Mga 5 buwan na rin.

Kahit kinakabahan, ay tumikhim ako to get their attention. I'm still smiling from ear to ear.

" Marco! Hijo! Look who's here. Si Justine. " tuwang tuwang sabi ni mommy.
