Inkblots (WILL TRY TO REVIVE)

4: Fool's Gold

"And yes I let you use me from the day that we first met, but I'm not done yet falling for your fool's gold."

- One Direction (Four)

"Wow. These are magnificent." I said as I unwrapped the late birthday presents from my parents. "Of course, alam namin kung anong gusto mo. We know you are very much passionate about photography kahit pa business yung tinatake mo na course." Mom said as she smiled at me.

Yes. I have been pursuing business as my college degree but still I do photography on the side. It has always been my passion. And with its help I can fund my own needs.

"So how are you and Heaven?" Mom asked and I almost choked into air as I heard her name being brought up.

Truth be told mom isn't fond of her, she is just being civil whenever we come over in here.
"Well I think you are gonna be happy." I said with a sad smile on my lips. "Why?" She shortly asked. "We just broke up." I said and sighed deeply.

Quickly mom went over and hugged me.

"Oh Edward." She said full of sadness. I know, she isn't sad because she won't be seeing her, she is sad because she knows that I am.

Despite the things she did to me, somehow in this heart of mine there still is love.

Stupid right?

Can you ever unlove someone?

It should be easy, right? Because after all she cheated on me. I should be mad really mad. But why? Why am I feeling like this? Like I am so lost now that she is gone.

"But I guess that the trip back to Philippines will do you good." I heard my father interjected. "Yeah. Maybe I could unwind and let loose for awhile." I said with a grin.

Mom broke from the hug and gave me a little glare, but we laughed it off too after awhile.

Somehow being with them makes me feel so good, even without her I can laugh just the same.

And maybe, the trip back to Philippines might do some good to me.

After all, it was my hometown.

"By the way you'll be staying with your ninang Hazel back there." She said as we started digging in our dinner.

"Why? I mean I could stay at tita Grace, right?" I asked as I finished chewing my food l.

"I thought you wanna let loose?" She asked me with a little smile on her face. Wait. I am not liking this.

"Edward, just go with it." Sabi ni dad as he shrugged.

"And besides, it has been long since you have seen your ninang and ninong back there. Remember, they have been your dad and I's bestfriend." She said proudly.

"Yeah. Sure." I said trying to act nonchalant, but really things in my head were going overdrive as I thought of someone else.

It is her. No, silly not Heaven.

My childhood bestfriend.

Kisses.
