"Bat di mo nlng kasi tanggapin na di tayo para sa isa't isa?"

I cant believe my ears. I blinked once, twice. As if my throat dried up and not a single sound would escape. Im trying to keep hold of the tears thats already building up. My heart seemed to have stopped beating..

"A-are you breaking up with me?!"

There was silence at the other end of the line. And then i heard him sigh. "This isnt working Angel.."

i really cant believe what im hearing! He's breaking up with me on the phone! i tried to gain my composure and gave a weak smile so as not to sound defeated.

"Cant we just at least talk about this in person? I guess i just want to see you for the last time, if this is what you really want.."

Hindi pa rin sya sumasagot. "Puntahan na kita ngayon, pwede?"

"Okay.." And then i heard him sigh again.

After 2 hours of travel, i finally reached his pad. since kilala naman ako doon, i went inside the house without ringing the doorbell.

I found him lying sa couch, His left arm covering his eyes. I slowly walked towards him and bent down to look if he's asleep. He seemed to have felt i was there and he slowly stood up.

"Sit down." Not a small hint of smile on his face.

I sat down sa couch and gave a distance between us. I cannot look at him. I just stared blankly on the marble floor.

After a few minutes of silence, he moved closer to me and held my hand. I tried to hold the tears that might escape anytime. He held it tighter, still not saying a word. Then he finally let out a deep sigh.

"Angel.."

I closed my eyes hoping this is all but a dream. That i'd be waking up soon knowing this never happened at all.

"This is just a bad dream.." I muttered to myself.

"Im so sorry.. Angel, look.. I dont want to end it this way but this isnt working.. Pareho lang tayong masasaktan sa huli pag pinilit natin to. Kung tayo talaga, tayo pa rin sa huli kahit anong mangyare dba?"

Sinubukan kong intindihin. Wala namang third party. Maayos naman ang relasyon namin kahit long distance. oo, demanding ako madalas pag hindi kami ngkkita pero naiintindihan ko naman bat ganun e, ang distansya ng pasay sa laguna. Mahirap magkaron ng oras na sabay kami lalo na at nag-ojt sya at pumapasok naman ako sa school. Siguro nga kelangan muna naming magfocus sa studies namin.

I looked at him intently. Him, trying to read what's on my mind. I smiled, yung tipid na ngiti, and took a deep breath.

"So i guess this is it! This is goodbye.. Mauna na'ko.."

I stood up but i forgot that his hands are still holding mine. He pulled me back and i lost my balance. I fell towards him, my arms on his shoulder. His face just an inch close to mine. I can feel his breath against my cheeks. He was looking at my lips. I suddenly felt my cheeks burning and my throat getting dry. I gulped and look at him in the eye. And the moment i blinked, he gave me that small, sweet kiss. One that i know would seal all the pain in feeling right now.

I know it wasnt enough for a goodbye and i know i shouldnt ask for more for it would be harder for me to let him go.

I gave a tight hug and whispered "i love you viktor.."
