Our Song

Change

"You changed a lot Ake. You seem so happy" - Atah

"Why? Am I not entitled?"

"You know it's not like that. Tell me, what is it?" - Atah

I smiled at her.

"I'm happy 'coz finally we're ok. I can be with you now without any worries.

She was about to cry when I cut her..

I don't like the idea of you crying 'coz Brazz might think that I did something to you. So don't you dare let even a single tear fell from your eyes or else..."

"Or else I will really throw you out of here!" - Brazz

"Oh really!?" speaking of the devil the devil is here I smirked at him.

"Of course...

Not!" - Brazz

"Hahaha...subukan mo lang.. Atah alam mo na gagawin mo pag nangyari yun."

"Hmmm...mukang pagtutulungan nyo lang talaga ko mabuti pa umalis na lang ako dito." - Brazz

"Buti alam mo! Shooo!!"

Nagkatinginan kami ni Atah at sabay na tumawa. Indeed simple things can make you happy all the time.

"Ake, you know I still can't believe na magiging ganito pa tayo. Lalo na kayo ni Brazz." - Atah

"What do you think of me? You're my friend whatever it takes our friendship will stay as it is. Yeah, we may argue a lot but at the end of the day we still have each other side by side."

"I'm really lucky to have you Ake! Thank you!" - Atah

"Anu ba yan ang drama mo naman! Ganyan ba pag buntis? hahaha..."

Ang sarap sa pakiramdam ng ganito. Now I can say ok na lahat except for one.

*************

"Look Ake, napapansin namin parati kayong magkasama ni Lex. What's up with you two?" Clo

"Clo umandar na naman yang pagka- nosy mo." Eve

"Wow! Look who's talking? Ok! Ake come with me and tell ME as in only ME kung anong meron sa inyo ni Lex!" Clo

"Clo it's only a joke you know?" Eve

"Enough na nga! Nag papaliksahan na naman kayo. Para masagot yang tanong nyo tumahimik kayo."

Umakto naman sila na nagzipper ng bibig at sabay nila pinatong ang magkasalikop nilang kamay sa table.

"Geez!! Crazy girls! Ok! Ganito kasi yun whatever I am now it's because of him. "

They both threw me a questioning look.

"He's the one who suggested that out of the country moving on project that I had."

And then here comes the perfect O shape of their lips... I should be ready now in

"WWHHHAATTT?????"

I feel like I just lost my hearing sense!

"Seriously? Bakit kelangan sumigaw? Kagulat gulat talaga?"

"You mean to say all this time kayo palang dalawa yung magkasama?" Cloh

"As in kayo?" Eve

"Why? Masama?"

"Naku ha! Ake! Tandaan mo i'll kick your ass kapag umiyak ka na naman because of that a**hole!"Eve

"Your so mean Eve. Malay mo naman he change na!" Cloh

I felt something weird when Cloh mentioned that 'change' word. Seryoso na ba sya? People tend to change what they've been before a tragic event, a heartbreak, or sometimes a traumatic experience to cover up and save what's been left for them after. Sometimes they change coz they become numb of the feeling of being helpless, alone or being hurt. In Lex's case, if he do really change. I think it's because of what happen to the both of us before. At times like that, change occur so that he can obtain what his heart desire. it could be because of what he realize after we broke up.

As for me after..

I've been hurt

I've been taken for granted

I've been left behind

I've been alone

all I can say is at least I learned along the way and change to preserve what's been left for me so I can start over again.
