28 Days

Day 7

Still in Maine's POV. I've decided to use her POV until the last chapter (one before the epilogue). For those who kept on messaging me about when will I update, di ko din po alam. But as much as possible I am trying to update as soon as I can so please stop bombarding me with rude messages telling me that I should be updating sooner. If you guys can't wait, you're free to not read this story anymore. There are lots of stories out there that is already completed and you can check out.

Ps. My bestfriend and I are sort of not in good terms right now when I told her the synopsis of this story. She hates me now but I still love her. Hey sweetie! Padalhan nalang kita ng tissue, loveyou.

Day 7

“Maine, what did I do wrong? Bakit ayaw mo na? Pano na yung ikaw at ako, tayong dalawa? Wala namang ganyanan oh."

"This is the best for the both of us. We need this RJ. Now if you please.."

"No. How did you know that this is the best thing for us? Have you asked me kung gusto ko ba 'to? Maine you're being unfair!"

"You'll understand me someday at masasabi mong tama yung naging desisyon ko."

I opened my eyes as I tried catching my breath. It was those nightmares again. Nightmares of my past. Nightmares of that night when RJ and I broke up. Why does it keep haunting me? Di pa ba sapat yung araw araw na gumigising ako na wala na siya sa tabi ko at kelangan pati sa pagtulog ay ipaalala sakin yung pag-iwan ko sa kanya 3 years ago? Tama naman yung desisyon ko ha? If I didn't made that decision of letting him go that fateful night of September, he wouldn't be where he is right now. I only made a choice. But just like that old movie line, "I chose to break his heart."

Day 8

Day 8 is the day when I realized when I woke up this morning the reality that RJ and I wouldn't go back the way we were before.

It was a bright and sunny morning and I decided to go out to buy some groceries. I was on the frozen food section looking for bacon when a familiar voice called my name.

"Maine?" I looked at the man beside me and immediately wrapped me to a hug. "T-tito Richard."

"I never thought I'll see you here after.. 2 years I guess? Kamusta ka na?"

"Yeah. Okay lang naman po ako. Kayo? Gumagwapo po kayo ah?"

"Bolera ka pa ding bata ka. May gagawin ka ba ngayon? Mind if I ask you for lunch to catch up?" I was hesitant to answer. Yes, I did missed Tito Richard. But I don't think I can talk to him straight at this moment. And..

"Maine? Okay lang ba?"

I sighed and smiled. "Sige po. Bayaran ko lang 'tong pinamili ko."

Tito Richard brought me to his favorite spaghetti house. I remember Alden brought me here on one of our monthsaries and I wouldn't forget those sweet smiles of him as he tell stories of their family dates in this old spaghetti house. Have he brought Kim here too? Had he ordered her his Mom's favorite like the one he ordered for me?

"Penny for your thoughts?" I looked at Tito Richard who is smiling at me as he waved the menu. "Ano order mo?"

"Yung d-dati nalang po." He again gave me another smile and told the waiter our orders.

"Kamusta ka na 'nak?" I almost cried with what he addressed me. Am I still his anak after I broke his son's heart?

"Alam mo hanggang ngayon di pa rin ako sanay na may ibang babae bukod sayo na dinadala si RJ sa bahay. Pero, mabait na bata si Kim kaya magaan din ang loob ko sa kanya."
