Ours

kasalo

J

I didn't want to dance. Heck, I didn't even want to attend this.

I just wanna go hide under my bedcover, hug my cats, and eat pizza while marathoning Pretty Little Liars.

Not dance with ex-loveteam in the tune of the song that kinda started to ruin it all.

that I was born for you~

UGH STOP

"So, ok ka na?"

"Siguro? Congrats Moe ha. Finally."

"Anong siguro? Are you or are you not okay?"

"Okay."

"Weh Janella. Even he sees you're not. Naalala ko dati no, sabi ng fans niyo hindi naman tayo yung magkared string. Kayo daw."

"Naniniwala sila sa green string of fate." I laughed, not because it was funny, but because I didn't want to sound sad.

"Tandang tanda ko pa yun ha. Na the year you were born, nag-agaw buhay siya. Pero he lived. Naniniwala sila na para yun sayo. Destiny no?"

"Ewan ko sayo Magalona."

"Madaming Magalona dito ngayon. You talking to my sister?"

"Korni mo."

"Ah but they say a corny man is a man in love."

"Jeez. Isosoli na kita sa asawa mo. Tara, switch partners."

Honestly, I didn't want to but I already said it and Elmo was already moving us towards the dancing Marlo and Janine.

What do I do? Baka awkward yung sayaw namin. Uhm ano paguusapan namin? Maguusap ba kami? Lord, kakayanin ko bang makita ang mukha ni Marlo ng malapitan?

"Okay ka lang?" His voice broke me out of my reverie. Di ko napansin nag switch na pala. We were swaying slowly, his left hand on my waist and his right holding my left.

I can't hear anything except for the beating of my heart. Kala mo may kabayo sa loob. Kalma lang uy.

Pero aaminin ko ha, the last time we did this, nung debut ko pa. Has been what, 6 years already?

There was another sound my ears hasn't tuned out. His voice.

"Remember Oh My G? Nung prom nila?" He was smiling. Lord, nakakasilaw po yung ipin niya.

"Yung kaba ni Sophie noon, nakikita ko sayo ngayon. Pikit ka. Ako bahala sayo. Trust me."

Trust me.

Lokohan ba to? Pinatawad ko na siya oo. Tanggap ko naman sa sarili kong mahal to ng sobra kaya dapat diba madali lang magtiwala?

Wrong.

It's easy to forgive but hard to forget. You can fall in love, but trust is earned.

Haven't forgotten the last time I trusted him, he left me alone. Without anything to hold on to. He left me broken and shattered the suddenly comes back as if nothing happened.

I already forgave him for leaving. For shattering my soul. For ruining my life. For tearing down my walls that I cannot put them up again. For breaking my heart.

Because I already gave it to him. And he still has it now.

Kahit saktan mo ng paulit-ulit, sayo na yang puso ko.

Within twenty-four hours of meeting him again I fell in love with him again. Oh wait no. I realized I never stopped loving him. Yeah, kahit na sino pang ipartner sakin and all that, siya lang talaga nagmay-ari ng puso ko.

I kept my eyes open. Staring at his, challenging him.

Baka pag pumikit ako, mawala ka nanaman.

"That was Oh My G, this is the real life." He half-smiled at that. Ayjusko, ang hot po.

"Parang ganun na rin eh. Tamo oh daming camera. Wag kang lilingon, mahahalata nila. Ikot nalang kita para makita mo."

He spun me and dipped. With the way he leaned - close, so close - I caught a whiff of his scent.

"Kita mo?"

"Ha?" Teka lang ano daw? High pa ko sa amoy niya.

"Yung mga tao." I mumbled a hmm, palusot lang para masinghot ulit siya. Kaloka ka Janella.

"Masinghot mo ko." Ay tinawanan ako.

"De uh ano. I was kinda figuring out yung brand ng pabango mo. Parang naamoy ko na dati eh. Anong brand ba gamit mo?" Wow Janella, palusot pa more.

Tinawanan nanaman ako. Uy respeto naman may tanong ako.

"Nakalimutan ko magpabango kanina. Natural scent yan. Eau de Mortel."

"Breezy mo. Upo na nga tayo."

"Hindi kaya ako sabon!"

When the two excited honeymooners left and everyone was saying their goodbyes and well-wishes for them, Marlo pulled me to slip out.

Because they will probably turn their complete attention to us. So we have to go.

my life was put on hold
a body in the shivering cold
heat so far away
heat that didn't stay

Hello! Here's a three part update. Kasal-Kasali-Kasalo. Ano pwede na bang pang mmff?

Corny jokes aside, I made this arc because truth is, I don't hate Elmo. But I don't like him either. I love Janella yes, pero I don't support BFY. Sorry po bes.

I make my own choices. Karapatan ko yun. At choice kong gawing isang awesome friend si Elmo. Just because cute yung pangalan niya jk.

I wanted here, in my own world, that he can be happy with his girl. Lagi nalang siya kaseng pinepair sa mga singer na bumibirit tapos laging medyo badboy yung role niya. Huhu sayang bes, mas okay sayo siguro yung mahiyain pero pogi na nerd ganon.

Andami ko nang sinabi. Basta tribute to sa ElNella. Sure naman na kase may happily ever after ang characters niyo sa serye tho I hope in this one, you'll get yours with the one you really love.

Oh, hopia kayo dyan na nagmamahalan parin sila Marlo at Janella. Pass the hopia on.
