Promises of the Past

Prologue

I thought okay na sa parents kong makipag-relationship at this age. I'm already 21, and yet they still control me. Nakapagtapos na ako by being a working student.

I am in a relationship with Ven where I thought it is already the beginning and end ng mga paghihirap ko sa mga p

revious love ko. Kaso...

He's still studying kasi 5-year course ang tinetake niya. Just 2years more (yung 1year is for review), and success na! Meron na siyang mga raket kaya ayun, galante. ;)

It was our anniversary nung nagpunta siya sa bahay. Nagbabalak kami magpaalam na may retreat but the truth is we are planning for a secret marriage alam kasi namin na ayaw talaga ng parents ko. Inutusan ako nila mama sa palengke, naiwan siya sa bahay.

I was expecting na andun pa siya pagbalik ko kaso umuwi na pala siya. May emergency daw eh.

That night I called him.

"So, how was our plan?" :)

"Reyn, let's stop this."

"H-ha? May nasabi ba sila papa? Tell me."

"Wala nu, mabait sila. I just can't fool you and your family."

"Eh anong nangyari? Why are you saying this things to me? Okay lang na hindi matuloy ang plano, it's okay. I can wait."

"Wag ka namang ganyan, hindi naman ako aatras kaagad. Mahal kita, alam mo yan. I just think It's not yet time for us. Kaya lang.."

"Bakla ka? Okay lang sakin."

"Hindi Reyn, I-I-I...."

"Damn! Say it!"

"I'm dating with s-someone else. K-Know A-a-aubrey?"

"Shocks!! *I am crying* So?"

"I'm so sorry."

"May ginawa talaga sila nu!! Wag mo nga akong niloloko!!"

"That's the truth. Wag ka namang ganyan mag-isip sa magulang mo. It's just that. I'm so sorry."

".......... Anong balak mo? How about your promises? Na ako lang? Na magpapakasal na tayo kasi ako na lang? Eh ano ibig sabihin ng ring na to?"

"Let's end this foolishness. I'm sorry.", then the line went off.

Lumamig buong katawan ko. Lalong-lalo na paa ko. I was alone in my room, the place seems dull. Humahagulgol ako, walang nakakarinig. I can't call anyone. I hope okay na bukas.

And it was morning, no texts, no calls from him. I called him, kaso unattended. Nagpunta ako sa bahay nila kaso wala na daw siya sabi ng mama niya, hindi na niya minention kung saan. I went sa possible places na pwede niyang puntahan na pinuntahan namin, kaso wala. I ended up sitting sa swing sa palaruan na dinala niya ako dati. It started raining, and ako? Nevermind.

It's already over. Sa taong mahal na mahal ko, sa maraming pangako para saming dalawa, sa pangarap niya para samin sa future.

It was gone...

Everything's gone...

I want to tear my body into pieces!! Sobrang sakit!!

Fana and Lewis found me. Thay talked and cleared it to me. May dadating pang iba. Mas better, mas loyal, mas mabait.

I can stand up alone.

and...

I can wait gaya ng paghintay ko sa pagdating niya.
