The Boyfriend Project (COMPLETED) #Wattys2016

Epilogue

Epilogue  I love him

"G, are you okay?" A asked.

Napalingon ako sa kanya. I nodded before going back to my paperworks.

It's been three days since I ended my project with Simon. Monday na ngayon, I spent the whole weekend na nagmumukmok sa apartment. Kailangan ko ng gawin ang nakatambak na acads ko. I need to do the final revision for my thesis. Medyo madami pa naman yun.

Nagulat na lang ako when I saw both A and C sitting in front of me. Andito ako ngayon sa dining area namin para makapag-focus na ako sa acads at di na ako akitin ng kama ko na mahiga lang at tumunganga.

"No, you're not okay, G." C announced.

I sighed and set aside my laptop and glasses. I think it's about time na sabihin ko na sa kanila. Malalaman din naman nila pero mabuti na sigurong sabihin ko na sa kanila ngayon.

"Spill it, Gale." Si C ulit.

"I ended it with Simon." I started.

"WHAT?" Sabay pa nilang sinabi. Matatawa pa sana ako kasi sabay talaga sila at iisang klase ang expression nila. Bihira mangyari since magkaiba talaga ang personality ng dalawa kong best friends.

I watched how C massaged her temple. Pinasakit ko ata ang ulo nya. Then, A was the first to break the silence.

"Why, G? Okay naman kayong dalawa. But you seem a bit off last week. Akala ko tampuhan lang. But why break up? Anong naging problema nyo?" A asked.

I thought of lying to them but then I realized that it will be hard to justify that I just wanted to end it or I'll make Simon the bad guy.

So I told them my crazy project and the rest is history.

"Are you mad?!" Tumaas ang boses ni C.

"I know I'm crazy. I'm sorry." I blurted out.

"Gale!" Si C ulit. She's really mad at me.

"Stop it, C." Sita ni A. A moved closer to me and sat down beside me. She smiled pero halatang malungkot sya dahil sa kanyang mga mata. She hugged me.

"We're sorry that we're not there for you." She said softly. Parang gripo na bumukas ang mga luha ko at nag-uunahan sila sa pagdulas sa pisngi ko at pagpatak.

"G..." I heard C said and biglang yumakap din sa amin.

Ilang minuto din kaming magka-yakap at konting iyakan pa. Bumitaw kami sa isa't isa na pugto at namumula ang mga mata.

"Do you love him?" tanong ni A.

I smiled. I love him. I love him that it hurts.

I nodded and said, "Yes."

Kinuha ko ang planner ko at kinuha ang isang papel na nagbago ng buhay ko.

One way plane ticket to New Jersey.

"I love him. But I'm leaving."
