Our Song

Happily Ever After

---> From: BFF Clo

Atah's wedding today. You coming? She'll be happy to see you there Ake.

---> From: BFF Atah

Things ain't the same without you Ake. I'll be happier if you're here but I know I'll be the selfish friend ever if I insist.

I'm sorry Ake. Thank you even if you're not telling me I know and I feel you forgive me already...

---> From: BFF Eve

Somethings are meant to be broken in order for us to learn how to fix it and for you I know you can do that..fix what's needed to be fix. Life goes on..bring it on! I don't have a loser friend!

Eve really knows how to get on my nerves but then she's also the one who's smart enough to give all of us the brightest advice.

I've decided to attend the wedding.

CHURCH

Nakatayo lang ako sa tagong lugar as I'm watching Brazz and Atah's wedding.

The moment I saw Brazz wearing that gray suit parang nag-mamarathon yung mga luha ko. Masakit kasing isipin na yung kaisa isang tao na nagbigay ulit ng kulay sa mundo mo..yun taong nagparamdan ng totoong pagmamahal at pagpapahalaga e nawala na at kahit kelan hindi na magiging sayo pa.

Masaya man ako para sa kanila pero yung inggit ay hindi basta basta mawawala. Andun na ko eh. Abot kamay ko na yung love story na pangarap ko.

Nakita ko na din sila Clo at Eve..they seem sad even if they're smiling I know it's not true..

then Atah...

Everything went in slow motion...there she is standing flawlessly wearing her white dress, smiling...her eyes roam around as if she's searching for someone...and when our eyes met I then realized it's me she's looking for. She smiles and I saw something glistened in her eyes. She looks in front and I followed her gaze I was stunned at first when I saw Brazz is also looking at me. This is the first time I saw him after our break up. He seems exhausted...I smile at him and nod slowly...He looks at Atah and smile.

"For you to let him go even if your hurting..

For you to let her have him and be happy even if your suffering..

That was the bravest stunt you pull Ake" - Lex

He's on my side and I don't know how long he's been here.

"You surprised me!"

He slowly looked at me and smile.

"Always the Ake I know. You're always willing to step back para lang mapasaya yung mga taong mahalaga sayo without even thinking you're own happiness. Alam ko mahal mo si Brazz hindi ka masasaktan ng ganito kung wala syang puwang dyan sa puso mo. Sya ang nagsilbing gamot ng mga sugat mo nung panahon na gulong-gulo mundo mo."

Tinugon ko ng ngiti ang sinabi nya at tumingin na lang sa altar. Nagsimula na ang kasal.

"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."

And now it's over. Goodbye to you Pangz ko. Reality is I lost you. Tumingin ako kay Lex at nakatingin din sya saken.

"They deserve each other." Tumatangong sinabi ko kay Lex.

"Why Ake? Why sacrifice your happiness?" Lex

"When I'm still a kid I always wanted to be a fairy so I can always grant the wish and bring happiness. Have this magic to bring fantasy into reality. You're asking me why i'm doing this?" I looked at him.

"I'm doing this because I loved watching a happy ending somehow I feel i'm part of the reason why it happen. It's like fulfilling my childhood dream - being a fairy. I never wanted to be the one who'll cause the lost of someone's happily ever after.

Childish it is but that's me. When I choose to leave you and let you go...I just wanted you to have your happily ever after 'coz I know it's not me you want to have your happy ending with.

Aalis na ko." I turned my back and walk.

Now I'll be facing another chapter of my life..moving on and being happy. I take one last look to Atah and Brazz...I wish you'll hold on to your happily ever after because I sacrificed mine for you to live your dream.

---> To: BFF Atah

Live your dream. Be happy. :) Congratulation.

After 1 year

It's nice to be back. One year of being away makes a lot of differences.

Soon as I arrived at my house I just changed my clothes. I really miss hanging out with my friends.

Loud music. hmmmm.. seems like a good start.

Nakita ko kagad si Clo at Eve na sumasayaw. I make my way to the dance floor. Sa gitna nila ko sumayaw.

"Hey bitch! - OMAHGY!!!! AKE!!!!"-Eve

"Waaaahhhh!!! You're back!"-Clo

Di ko napigilang di matawa sa reaction ni Eve at Clo.

"Miss me huh?!"

"Of course you freak! Come on! We're going to talk." Eve is literally dragging me.

"Chill..hahaha... di ba pwedeng sumayaw muna? Namiss ko to eh. By the way where's Atah?"

"Ah..ah.. no. no. no. You need to tell us first where have you been?" Clo

"So nosy talaga. Okay let's get some drinks and feel free to ask."

"TALAGA!!!" they both say in chorus. Really?! hahaha... I feel so carefree right now.

"So? Start now." Clo

"Teka nga, where's Atah nga kasi? I want to make kwento but dapat kumpleto kayo."

"Maarte ka rin talaga eh no?"Eve

"Naman!"

"Di na sya pwede magpunta muna dito. Si Brazz na yung temporary nagmamanage nitong Bar."Eve

"Ha? Why?"

"Coz she's pregnant.We're having our first baby and it will be an honor if you'll accept being one of the ninangs?." Brazz

"Oh! OMAHGY!!! Of course! Hi there!"

I got up from my seat and give him a kiss on the cheek. I..i think finally i'm okay. Wala na yung sakit. Ang gaan sa pakiramdam. Nginitian ko sya.

"It's nice seeing you Ake. You look good. Atah will be glad." Brazz

"I bet she will. So? Why don't you join us soon-to-be daddy?"

"Sure but I won't be long." Brazz

"That's okay. Great!"

"Great mo your face! Start explaining!" Eve saying it with annoyance in her voice.

"Why so excited? Fine! I've been to New York. You know exploring. I worked there...wala lang to divert my attention. I've manage to cope up with the changes, I think it helps me a lot."

I looked at Brazz and smile. He do the same thing. Finally, i'm not holding back.

"I'm happy now"and they're looking at me as if I just said the most dumbest thing in the world.

"What? Am I not aloud to say that words? Seriously guys? I've moved on. I'm okay. At first it was really hard but..look at me now! I managed! Really! "

I didn't know I will be able to feel like this. I will be able to say those words. So happy.
