You Belong With Me

Face it

1 week na ang nakakalipas simula nung huli kaming magkita ni Ezekiel. I heard that nagkaayos na sila ni Bea sabi ni Erin. Sila na kaya? Of course, mahal kaya ni Kiel si Bea. How about me? Kailan kaya darating yung taong para sakin?

*beep beep beep*

Incoming call: Kiel <3

Hindi ko sinagot yung tawag niya. Instead, I went down and I found Rei sitting while drinking his favorite tea. Pinalapit niya ko sa kanya and we talked.

"My dear child. What happened?"

Sincerity is in his eyes. Then, without anything else, my tears started to fall. Nice. Iyakin talaga ko.

"Lolo, hindi niya ko mahal. Hindi ako yung para sa kanya. Hindi ako yung gusto niyang makasama. But I love him. And it really hurts."

He hugged me and kissed my forehead. He's always there for me ALL THE TIME. Unlike my parents, they're always busy doing something else.

"Sharah, my princess, lahat ng tao dumadaan sa ganyan. Lahat tayo nasasaktan. But that will only make us stronger. You have to face it. Don't cry now, when was the last time you cried this much?"

I just smiled at him. Tama si Lolo,Hindi ako dapat umiyak. I need to be strong.

*ding dong ding dong*

Nagulat ako sa biglang dumating. It was Ezekiel's parents.

We all went to the living room.

I was sitting beside Rei and in front of us is Ezekiel's father and mother. 

"We're here to inform you that their engagement party will be held this coming Sunday. Sa rest house namin sa Batangas gaganapin at sagot na namin ang lahat ng gastos para sa party. I hpe you're free for that day."

"Anthony, ayoko ng matuloy-"

"What my grandfather wants to say is that we're coming."

I gave Rei a firm look. Our guests seems to be satisfied.

"Good, we're leaving now. We need to inform other guests as well."

Nsng makaalis na sila, nangako ako sa sarili ko na hindi na magbabago pa ang isip ko.

"Sharah, akala ko ba sinasaktan ka lang ni Ezekiel. Then bakit gusto mo pa ding ipagpatuloy ang kalokohan na ito?"

"Lolo, ikaw na mismo ang nagsabi. I need to face this once and for all. Kung hindi dadating si Ezekiel, then that means my journey ends there. Trust me for this. Please."

Yes, I need to stay. I don't want to run anymore.
