8 Years Gap

Gap #30

Angeli's POV

"Can you please think what you're saying?" I was shocked, yet there's a feeling inside me that is so happy.

Every girl can be happy if a boy said that you are his first whatsoever.

"Hey. I'm serious here." 

"I admit. I kissed someone already, but with their permission. That was for fun and to know if they were already manipulated by me, but you. You're different. You made me kiss you."

"Wait! Are you saying that I'm seducing you or manipulating you? Excuse me, but I'm not that kind of girl!" 

"That's what I'm talking about!" I don't like how this conversation will end.

"And I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not the kind of girl who you wanted to be a replacement, a substitute girlfriend for making his man happy, and also!" I don't know now.

"I'm not the kind of girl who would be easily fooled again by those sweet, but dangerous words." I wanted to cry. I'm tired of those fooling words.  

If I fall again, I'll hurt my heart thrice.

"I'll go now." Nung bubuksan ko na yung pinto, hinila niya left wrist ko at yinakap na naman ako.

"Bitaw!" Tinutulak ko siya, pero he is resisting. He is hugging me tightly.

"Please..." And he let go of me. Umalis na ako sa  kwarto at nakita ko sila Ghiel, Risa at Renz na nakatayo sa labas. Bakas sa mukha nila ang paga-aalala. I run faster as I could. Sa swimming pool na lang ako pumunta. Dun na ako umiyak. 

"My love for her is decreasing. I just don't love her anymore." 

I don't want to be hurt again. I don't want to hear those painful words again.

Ghiel's POV

Kahit nung tinawag namin si Meryl, wala eh. Tumakbo lang siya. Pumunta ako kay Kuya Yuming at galit na galit siyang pinagsabihan. "Wow. For entertainment?! Well, she's not!" At bumalik na kami ni Risa sa kwarto. Gusto ko siya puntahan, pero tinext niya ako na gusto niyang mapag-isa. Haay.

Meryl experience enough pain in her heart twice. You brought her back to her old self, Kuya Yumi. Her old self was fulfilled with happiness, hope and love. How can you say that she is your first kiss, when she really isn't? How can you play hopes like that? I'm really mad at him, but there's something wrong with his face earlier nung pagkaalis ni Meryl.

Umiiyak siya.

I wonder why.

Its already 2:30 AM and wala pa si Meryl. Nakatulog na si Risa kakahintay, pero ako sobrang nag-aalala. Patayo na sana ako nang, may nag-chat sa akin. Oh. Yung Charles na pala yun.
