Day 2

"Because for him, forgetting you was like remembering a name of someone you doesn't even met."

Sam's words struck me like a sword. I walked out from them and took a cab home. I cried all the way to my old condo.

Day 3

I kept on crying and I was at least thankful that I'm still hydrated after pouring my heart out. I tried roaming around the condo to busy myself, but it just added the already burden I am feeling. The condo screams his name. I could see bits of him in every corner, from the couch we used to cuddle in when we're having late night chills, the cabinet in the kitchen he personally did because he wanted to keep the kitchen wares in place. I know I asked Coleen to at least look after the place and do some cleaning and such but why does his scent still lingered in the sheets? It was torture. I felt the need to move out and ask Ate Niki if I could stay with them. Another week in this condo would be the death of me.

Day 4

I stayed at Ate Niki's place but I still can't go out of the room. I know they were worried about me because the moment they saw me, my eyes were in a bloodshot and I just locked myself in this room. My sister kept on checking on me and gives me food but I don't have the energy to even eat. She was worried but I reassured her that I was okay. Well somehow.

Day 5

It's been 3 days since my encounter with Alden and his new girl. And with this, too many thoughts constantly ran on my head for the past few days.

How could he possibly love another? Maybe not love, but how could he kiss her? How could he talk to her the way he talked to me?

How could he go from being as comfortable as we were together to starting over and learning her flaws?

How could he do that? While I on the other hand, can't even look to other guys because I don't want to fall in love with anyone. My heart has always been his.

I spent the past days away from everyone. I wanted to make up with my family, play with my niece, Coleen's daughter or Ate Niki's younger son, and of course, I missed Matteo. Valeen kept on contacting me to help her with some details for her wedding but I refused to go. Yes I badly want to help her with those, but I also need to suffer seeing Kim because she was her wedding planner. She was really nice. And I honestly can't hate her because it wasn't her fault that Alden found his love with her again. But I can't also befriend her, well at least not now. Maybe someday.

On the 5th day, I went out of the room at last. Maybe a breath of fresh air could help me. I was making dinner when my phone rang. I pressed answer and put the phone on her ear. "Hello."

"Maine."

"Oh fuck." I almost dropped the phone upon hearing that voice. Even thought it was an unregistered number, I knew that voice by heart. It was Alden. Why is he calling me? And how did he get my number? "Oh, sorry about that. Why did you call?"

"Valeen asked me to call you, di ka daw kasi sumasagot sa tawag niya. She wants you to go here. Nasa BGC kami ngayon."

Of all people, why did Valeen chose Alden to speak with her? Iniisip ba niya na porket si Alden yung nagsabing pupunta siya e sasama agad siya?

"I can't. I'm busy. And besides, I'll be working with some-"

"Pagbigyan mo na si Valeen. Ilang araw ka na niyang pinipilit na makasama siya pero you always refuse to go. She was excited na nandito ka pero lagi ka namang nasa bahay niyo kaya di ka parin sumasama. Umiiwas ka ba sakin?"
