The Campus Queen Vs. The Campus Heartthrob [Completed] (Wattys 2017)

Chapter 54

  I REALLY REALLY NEED to move-on na.

Tama naman si Zell dapat hindi ko kinukulong ang sarili ko kay Ryler.

Pero kaya  ko to.. Napahinga ako ng malalim. 

Mag-uusap lang naman kayo Cyan dapat hindi ka kabahan.

I am stuck in a generation where loyalty is just a tattoo, love is just a quote, happiness is a myth, lying is the new truth and being sarcastic is a lifestyle.

Sadly, it's true. Undeniably true.

"May mga bagay talaga na darating at may mga bagay na aalis, pero hindi ito nangangahulugan na kailangan mong sumuko." sabi pa ni Ryler. He was sipping his cappuccino. Napalunok ako.

Ganito na ba kahirap ang humarap sa kanya?

"Loving is when you just want the best for that person whether it includes you or not. And I decided that I won't include you in my next chapter of my life." pinipigilan kong umiyak sa harapan niya.

I don't want to look like a crying baby.

"Dahil tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko." dagdag ko pa.

Nakakapagod pala ang ganito.

"Hoping you're someone I used to know." bulong niya. 

"I was once somebody you used to know until I become someone to your life." ngumiti ako sa kanya with all of my sincerity.

I'm not mad or sad that it happened, but I am happy because I felt what others feel when someone just played their feelings.

Learn from yesterday, live for today hope for tomorrow.

Tumayo ako sa kinauupuan ko at dere-deretsong lumabas ng coffee shop.

I am relieved.

Time will come para sa aming dalawa.

Hindi man ngayon, but someday it will. And I'm hoping for it.

"Zell?" tawag ko sa kanya ngumiti naman siya sa akin.

"Bakit?"

"I just want to say thank you."

"For what?" tanong niya pa.

"Sa lahat kahit masakit yung mga pinagsasabi mo may natutunan naman ako. You are so lucky if you found a person who never get tired of understanding your nonsense attitude." sabi ko sa kanya na ikinatawa niya.

"Wala yun. Atsaka I already found that person who won't never get tired of understanding me." 

Niyakap ko siya ng sobrang higpit.

"Kailan ka babalik?" tanong ni Ardy sa akin. Kanina pa siya nagpipigil sa pag-iyak pinapakalma na nga siya ni Aki.

"Hindi ko alam." sagot ko

"Ate, you better make sure babalik ka." sabi pa ni Gabrielle na ikinatuwa ko naman.

"Kapag may nangiwan sayo, wag mo ng habulin. Ipakita mo na lang kung ano yung pinakawalan niya." natawa kaming lahat sa hugot ni Ken.

"Ate mag iingat ka." sabi ni Apple.

Nag group hug kaming lahat.

First I need to find myself. Coz he's  finding himself too. And I need to do my part.

Mending our broken hearts.
