Ask....(1 of 3)

Hello? Who's this please?

......

Hello? Who's this?

......

Hello! If you're not going to talk, stop bothe....!!

H....hel....hello Den....

I silently gasped when I heard that voice.

Her voice.

A....Alyssa, hi! I tried to sound not surprised hearing her voice.

I shouldn't.

H....hi! Kam....kamusta ka?

I....I'm fine! D....doing good, of course! Ik...ikaw, kamusta?

Stop stammering Dennise!

I closed the mouthpiece and moved it far away as I could before heaving a very deep sigh. So deep that only then I realized I was holding my breath since I heard that voice.

I took another sigh to calm my nerves before I put the handle back to my ear.

You're ready for this Den! Yes, you are!

....chance to speak to you again.

I'm sorry, come again?

You asked how I was and I said....I said, I'm good. But...but honestly I am not. I'm not since, since...since that night I left you. And when I got your number I took that chance to speak to you again.

And how'd you got my number?

Ella.

Of course! Ella, you traitor!

Please wag ka nang magalit sa kanya. I forced her to give your contact when we saw each other last week.

Okay. So, what do you want?

Ganyan nga Dennise, be calm! Be passive! Don't be so emotional!

Can we....can we talk?

We're talking.

No! I mean, can I see you? P....pwede ba tayong magkita?

What for Alyssa? We had our "talk", remember? Lahat naman ng sinabi mo ay klaro. Ano pa ba dapat nating pag-usapan? It's been two years already, you still hasn't move on?

Eh ikaw ba, naka move-on na?

Oo naman! Duh!

Please? One last time, please!

Alyssa....

All I'm asking is to talk to you! Just this once! For old times' sake! Please, Den? Please!!! I promise I won't bother you anymore after this! No matter what happens after that talk, I won't bother you anymore! I know how hurt you'd been for what I did, and...

Stop! Alright! I will see you! But this will be for the last time. And by the way, you don't have to remind me of my stupidity!

I'm sorry!

It's okay.

Thank you!

So when do you want us to meet?

Fo....fourteenth?

What the...?! Yung araw na yun pa talaga, ha?!

This fourteenth?
