Bitter Ako! Paki Mo!?

Changes

ALEXA's POV

What mom said was like a bomb to me.

ALEXA!!!!!

A second before, I was just asking Ate what to do if he comes back but moments later,

ALEXA! BITTERHALF!!!!

MOM TOLD ME HE'S HERE, HE IS ALREADY BACK.

HOY ALEXA! WHERE ARE YOUR SENSES!? I spaced out at 'yung alog ni Ate 'yung nagpabalik sakin sa realidad.

I don't know what to do. Yes, I stammered.

Just act normal. Greet him. And if you're not comfortable talking to him, if he will be asking, just answer it but don't dare starting a conversation with him. Arasso? I always feel thankful. My sister is the best.

Thanks, Ate. I don't know what to do if you're not here. She hugged me before I walk towards mom who's standing by the door.

It's okay, dear. Maybe he's here to explain himself. Kaya mo 'yan. She said while pressing my hand and caressing my back.

I hope so, mom. He's still my long lost best friend after all, right? I was smiling to assure my mom.

Hijo, I'll be in the kitchen ha. Just feel at home. I'm nervous and I do not know why.

Thanks po, tita. Its his voice, right?

I can't look at him. Hindi ko pa kaya.

Naramdaman ko ang pagtapik ni mom sa likod ko that tells me na aalis na s'ya.

Alexa. He called and I automatically looked at him.

SERIOUSLY!? SI LANDER NA BA TALAGA 'YAN!?

One word to describe him?

DEMIGOD.

He was perfect.

Beyond perfect.

Babatukan ko sarili ko mamaya kasi eto na naman ako,

NAGPAPAKATANGA

NAPAPAIKOT NA NAMAN N'YA

Alexa! I spaced out for the second time because of him.

Hi. I greeted back and walked towards the sofa to sit.

He did the same thing.

How are you? Obviously, he's starting a conversation with me.

I was planning not to answer but Ate's words replayed on my mind.

Just act normal. Greet him. And if you're not comfortable talking to him, if he will be asking, just answer it but don't dare starting a conversation with him.

I'm perfectly fine. When I am not.

That's good to hear. Can we talk outside? Garden, perhaps? Demanding ass

Psh.

Why? I mean we're already talking here. I didn't want to be sarcastic in a way.

I just want to feel the night breeze again. Now that I'm back. The hell.

Kung pwede ko lang iwanan to dito sa sala eh. But instead of doing that and having issues after I'd rather bring him to our garden and let him feel the night breeze now that he's back.

Okay. Just follow me. You might get lost. Aamba na sana ako ng pagtayo pero may sinabi s'ya.

Get lost? Here? I can go to your garden with closed eyes. Ang sarap ipalapa sa pating!

Grabe 'yung kumpyansa sa sarili!

Before. Things change. And feelings fade. I didn't say the latter. I started walking.

Pasalamat pa nga 'to at medyo marahan pa pagsasabi ko sa kanya eh!

You're right. He said while looking around at our reconstructed house.

I didn't dare to talk until we reached our garden.

This graden.

Our house was reconstructed but there was no hint of change in our garden.

This is my sanctuary for the last seven years.

I'm sorry. I heard him but I just don't want to answer, scratch that, I do not know what to answer.

He seemed to expect that I will not going to answer him back so he continued.

I'm sorry I left you behind. I was kinda expecting that he'll explain or something but he did not.

So I dared to talk.

Is that all you've gotta say!? I sounded sarcastic but I didn't meant it that way.

He did not answer so I talked.

Speak it out, best friend. I admit it.

I'm angry.

I'm disappointed.

GUSTO KO S'YANG SUMBATAN PERO WALA AKONG KARAPATAN!

My fault. I shouldn't called you my best friend because you're not anymore right? So you won't answer me. I breathe before I continued.

Let me rephrase it for you, Speak it out, Lander. Speak it out, I already corrected it for you.

I sounded bitter, I know.

I looked at him, wala naman atang balak magsalita to eh!

If you have no plans on answering me, then I'll be get going. Excuse me.

Binilisan ko ang paglalakad dahil papatak na 'yung mga luhang kanina ko pang pinipigilan.

Pero may pumigil sa braso ko.

I know its him.

I sighed to hold my tears for a little longer before I looked back.

I'm sorry.

'Yan na lang ba ang kaya mong sabihin!!!?

Hindi ko na napigilan ang pag sigaw.

Hindi ko na rin napigilan ang mga luhang kanina pang nagbabanta sa pagpatak.

I don't want to look weak in front of him. So instead of staying here, I quickly ran again and this time, he's not following me anymore.

I went directly to my room even I heard them calling me for dinner.

I found myself calling Kurt.

Kurt Vallega.
