If you would choose a person in this world to ruin your life over and over again, who would you want? Because for me, there is only one: HIM.

MarNella is back
The caption read. It was taken at the airport, the two of us hugging, quite awkwardly if I might add. I just escorted my mom and my brother on their vacation. Not so Lil Russell anymore went to meet his dad so yeah, not for me.
Coincidentally it was his arrival so we met at the airport, hugged and gave me a lift back home. Simple. NOT.
I threw my phone in frustration and it landed on my carpet, still in one piece and continously beeping out notifications. Good God. Stop the @superjanella this and @superjanella that.
"SHUT UP!" I threw a pillow at the poor inanimate object. Good for you that you can't feel anything. I heard ringing but it's not my phone's. Ah, telephone.
"Hello?"
"You okay?" Who?
"Uhm who's this?" Wait, he sounds familiar. Tsk. "Marlo?"
"You remember my name! Great! Hi!"
"Oo ... nagkita tayo kanina diba? Hi ulit bat ka ... napatawag?"
"..."
"Marlo? Andyan ka pa?"
"Oh right. Sorry. Was just ... you really speak straight Tagalog now huh. I mean wow."
"Ikaw nga oh. Foreigner na foreigner ang tunog."
"Ha? Di ah. Sorry. I guess, nasanay lang."
"Nasanay. Yeaahh gets ko. ... So bakit ka napatawag?"
"Hindi ba pwedeng namiss kita?" Oh God his laugh. Oh I missed his laugh. I miss everything about him. EVERYTHING.
"Seriously ..." I trailed because all my responses will just come out as the cold, harsh, bitter truth. And maybe, I wanna get lost in being with him for a while. Nakakamiss siya eh.
"Di na. Joke lang. I called because well, airport photos. Thought na walang paparazzi dito. Plus, have you checked your email?"
"You mean yung photos sa twitter diba? Nagkakakagulo na nga sila eh. Apparently, buhay pa pala sila."
"Hindi pa naman kase tayo patay Jea." Oops. I did consider you dead for a while now.
"Habang may buhay may pagasa?" I jokingly asked.
"Right on target." Oh great, his optimism never faded. Another thing I miss.
"So about the email, ano ba yun? Di ko pa nakikita eh."
"Ah tickets. Para sa last show namin. Mamayang gabi. I'd like you to come, please."
"I'll, I'll try."
"Great! I still have rehearsals pa so see you later?"
"Bye."
don't go breaking them more
shattered pieces on the floor
nothing's left in the store
all I have is a hollow core
