Point Of View
-JD de los Reyes-
I was on my way sa gym para sa training namen ng basketball when someone called me up.
“JD! JD!”
At sana hindi ko na lang nilingon yung tumatawag sa akin kasi when I looked back I saw…
Joy, yung fiancée ni Cedric
“JD, papunta ka na ba sa gym? Papunta rin kasi ako, sabay na tayo” ^_^
Naiinis ako when she smiles at me, para kasing ang sama kong tao pero hindi ako masamang tao dahil isa lang akong taong nag-mamahal.
“Ugh,ano kasi… may dadaanan pa ko, umuna ka na lang”
“Ganun ba? Edi sasamahan na lang kita sa dadaanan mo tas sabay na tayo!” ^_^
Nakaka-asar talaga sya, ang kulit nya!
“Please don’t be friendly with me; you’re making me feel guilty!” - - - > You don’t know how much I want to say that but I can’t so instead I said…
“Ahh, sige na nga dumeretso na tayong gym, mamaya ko na lang pupuntahan yung dadaanan ko” sinabayan ko na lang sya and you don’t know how awkward that was for me.
It was torture for me especially with how she details things regarding her wedding preparations. She’s so annoying and I’msuch a bitch with what I’m doing.
“Ahh ganun ba? Eh bakit para yatang napapadalas ang dalaw mo kay coach?” I asked
“Eh kasi, ewan ko ba kay Cedric he’s becoming cold lately at halos wala syang time for me. Nakakapag-tampo nga how he ignores talking about the wedding but I understand it’s only because of the pressure” she explained
Pressure? Is that what Cedric is trying to tell me when he said he was having one of his ‘Peter Pan Moments’ again? Yun lang din ba ang dahilan ng relasyon namen? Is he just having a phase? Pressure lang ba ang dahilan ng lahat ng ito?
I’d like to think na hindi, I’d like to think that this is all happening because we’re in love and not just because I’m some way to relieve himself from the stress and pressure that he’s experiencing because of the wedding.
Ang sabi nya Mahal nya si Joy pero kaya nya lang ito nagagawang lokohin ay dahil Mahal na rin nya ako.
At yun ang gusto kong paniwalaan, kaya lang…
“A-ang ganda naman ng keychain mo”
“Ahh eto ba, ang ganda noh? Galing kay Cedric ‘to” ^_^
Halos gumuho ang mundo ko sa sagot ni Joy, dahil yung keychain na yun, yung keychain na tinutukoy nya ay yung keychain na binigay ko kay Cedric.
At hindi lang yun basta-basta isang keychain dahil yun ang keychain that my childhood friend Gio gave me, yung keychain na sabi nya ay ibigay ko sa magiging first love ko. All my life I was hoping someday I’d meet Gio again at baka sa kanya ko rin ibibigay ang keychain na yun. Kaso nag-bago ang lahat nung nakilala ko si Cedric, nung dumating sya sa buhay ko.I gave him that keychain because I fell in love with him and that was the first time I fell in love, he was my first love. Cedric knew how important that keychain is for me pero paano nya nagawa sa akin ‘to? He knew what that keychain meant to me, so how was he able to easily give it away to Joy just like that?
Halos hindi ko na mapigilan ang luha ko nung mga oras na narinig ko yung sagot ni Joy. Mabuti na lang ay malapit na kame nun sa gym at biglang lumapit si Cedric.
“B-bakit mag-kasama kayo?” Cedric asked
“Ahh sumabay kasi ako sa starplayer mo. And we were just talking about this keychain you gave me” ^_^
Napa-tingin sa akin si Cedric but I looked away, hindi ko kayang tingnan sya dahil sa sobrang sakit na nararamdaman ko ngayon. Siguro naiintindihan ni Cedric kung anong nangyayari and he tried to explain…
“Joy, may kailangan lang akong sabihin kay JD” Cedric turned to Joy but I cut him off bago pa nya mabuo ang excuse nya
“Mamaya mo na lang sabihin Coach, mag-practice na muna tayo!” and then I made my way to the court feeling numb
“Mag-stastart na pala kayo, sige babalik na lang ako after ng practice” Joy said and kissed Cedric goodbye before sya umalis
Pinikit ko ang mga mata ko para hindi ko makita ang scene na yun, pero bakit ganun? Bakit kahit naka-pikit ako ay parang nakikita ko pa rin, at ang sakit sakit pa rin.
Ngayon hindi ko na alam kung ano ang totoo, dahil kahit yung gusto kong paniwalaan na Mahal nya rin ako ay parang ang hirap na ring paniwalaan. Dahil kung mahal nya ako, paano nya nagawa sa akin ‘to?
Ang sabi nya dati ang mahalaga lang ay masaya kame, pero yun nga lang ba talaga ang mahalaga?
Paano na ngayon? Paano na pag hindi na?
