"Why am I so afraid to lose you when you are not even totally mine?" I asked. Crying. "I don't know if I'm getting better or just used to the pain."
I smirked. Tinignan ko siya, nakatingin lang siya sa malayo. Naka-closed fist.
"I'm sorry." he said.
"Yeah. Of course. Your sorry," tapos yumuko ako at humagulgol. 'Di ko na kinaya, ang bigat bigat sa pakiramdam. Ang sarap nyang sampalin pero hindi ko magawa kasi nanghihina ako.
"I'm sorry... but I'm going. Georgie's waiting for me."
"I hate it when I realized that I mean nothing to some people who means everything to me," napaluhod ako.
My family... and now, him? What did I do to receive all this pain from them?
"Umuulan na. Sige na, umalis kana. Naghihintay siya sayo 'di ba?" Ngumiti ako sa kaniya. Kinuha niya 'yung bag. Bag pa yata 'to ni Georgie. Gentleman talaga siya. Nilabas niya 'yung payong at binukas.
"Here. And please. Don't cry, Shaznae." Nilahad niya 'yung isang payong sa akin.
"I'm not crying, rain is just falling from my eyes. Go get yourself out here." Tumayo na rin ako, "Dito sa kabila yung way ko pauwi. So, alis kana. Georgie's waiting." At walang ano-ano ay tumakbo na siya. Umalis na siya.
The moment he stepped away. That is the cue to me to get away to his life too. I have to let go.
