Ilang minuto na ako nakatitig sa pangalan at profile picture nya sa messenger.
Should I open it?
Bakit ba kasi sya nagmessage?
Anong kailangan nya?
Dahil sa tagal ng pagtitig 'ko, nakatanggap na naman ako ng panibagong message mula sakanya.
Binuksan ko iyon at binasa ang flood nyang messages.
Sabrina Nicholas
Bianca?
Hey Bianca, I just want to ask a favor
I know hindi dapat ako sayo lumapit pero kasi wala na kong ibang maisip na mahingan ng tulong.
Bianca please.
Biancaaaa!!!
Please. Hindi tayo close pero sige na please magreply ka naman!
Kahit sa chat, meet up or kahit tawagan na lang kita.
Bianca :(
After I read all her messages, nag-isip ako ng pwedeng dahilan or kung ano man ang favor nya. I don't think I can help her if it has something to do with Leo.
Leo and I broke up almost 2 years ago. Our relationship lasts for almost a year when he accidentally fell in love with his workmate, Sabrina.
Months after the break up, Leo messaged me asking for my phone number. Meron daw syang mahalagang favor at through text message nya lang pwede sabihin.
He texted me a link at nirequest na i-check iyon. It was a blog, a blog about their love story. I cried after I saw it. Bumungad saakin ang napakamadaming pictures nilang dalawa. Meron ding texts na nakalagay and may titles pa, hindi ko na sinubukang basahin dahil alam 'kong mas lalo ako madudurog kung susubukan ko pa.
I texted him "what's this?", as if I did not check the link and what's inside of it.
He replied, "Maganda ba? It's my monthsary surprise for Sab, since magaling ka naman sa mga design ek-ek, baka may maisuggest ka bes".
It was kind of awkward feeling for me after reading that message. He called me 'bes' in sensitively. I just replied that the blog was fine and sure that Sabrina will like it.
After an hour, this Sabrina girl messaged me using Leo's account, saying that I should back off.
Kesyo, malandi daw ako at binigay ko ang number ko sa boyfriend nya.
I did not reply and texted Leo about what his girl did.
Then there he explains, and apologies. He said that Sabrina did not know about us, ang alam lang niya ay dati kaming magkaibigan. Nothing more special kumbaga.
After that, he often called me bes. So that Sabrina won't get jealous anymore. Masyado pala selosa si ateng.
Okey, enough for flashbacks.
After a year, nagmessage na naman si Sabrina.
Unfortunately, hindi pa din totally moved on ang heart ko, talaga bang first love never dies?
Napatigil ako ng pagiisip nang makitang typing na naman si Sabrina sa messenger.
Inunahan ko na siya.
