That Day When Our Hearts Met

Chapter Thirty Five

Everything has changed when we move in states. I still remember the day I left him, in tears. The day he asked me to come with him. And the day I rejected his idea. I never thought I'll affect him that much...

The first three months of my stay here is so hard for me. Madalang lang ang communications namin nina Maq.

And I had no communications with him at all.

Sa sumunod na buwan naman, I met the Anderson twins. KC and Katelyn. Half Filipinos.

Iyon yung time na I finally decided na lumabas ng bahay dahil wala akong mapapala kakamukmok sa kwarto.

They were our neighbors. Noong nakilala ko sila, I've learned to enjoy life.

Party. Boozing. All night long.

Though, I don't do stuffs such as one night stands.

And on the fifth month of my stay here, I've heard news back in the Philippines.

The old playboy, is back.

I opened my facebook at halos lahat ng mga litrato sa feed ko ay mga litrato niya with different girls.

Kaya pala ayaw nina Maqui na magbukas ako any of my social medias.

I am hurt. I have to admit. There's this one picture that they almost make out.

Sabog rin ang notifs ko, dahil sa mga tag ng mga kaibigan kong nakasalamuha ko dito.

I checked all those tag pictures. There are some pics of me and KC together. May isang picture din kami doon, when we kissed that night for a dare.

Our friends seemed to be okay with it. I think it's fine too... He's my friend, anyway.

Have I also mention that Glenn's here? Madalas siya ang kasama ko kapag wala sina Katelyn.

He move out 2 years after me.

The rest years had been great for me. Especially when Maqui, Sabrina, Rachelle, Aina and Mitch visited me.

Although, halos lagi silang nagsosorry everytime na napapasok sa usapan namin ang mga lalaki.

Ganun pa rin. Walang pinagbago. Lagi kong sinasabi na okay lang. Okay lang talaga. Matagal ng tapos ang sa amin.

Move on. Ayan ang dapat kong gawin, ang dapat matagal ko ng ginawa. Pero hindi, I feel like I'm still holding on to his promise na babawiin niya ako.

Until that day came, nabalitaan kong natigil na siya sa mga maraming babae niya. Good news, right? And that's because nagkabalikan na sila ni Jasmine.

They are both perfect for each other. And I have to accept the fact that she's his first. And probably, his last.

That's when I decided to finally let go and move on. Glenn, helped me by the way. He had been very dear to me.

Kaya noong sinabihan ako ni Dad na Glenn and I will be in an arrange marriage, oo ang naging sagot ko.

Hindi iyon ang inakala nilang isasagot ko. Maging si Glenn ay nagulat nang sabihin ko sakanyang payag ako, tho that doesn't mean na sakanya na ako.

He's not my boyfriend. And I am not his. I still want to be free.

I've graduated and made a decision. A hard one.
