xyrone's point of view

nakarating na 'ko sa kikitaan namin ni katsumi. i patiently waited for her to arrive. ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng lakas na i-message siya matapos ipakita sa'kin ni simon yung napag-usapan nila ni sylvester.

hindi ko inakala na ganong babae si katsumi. mabilis pala siya magsawa? kaya pala after a few months nawawalan na siya ng gana sa'kin. haha, why was i so dumb?

" xyrone. " napatingin ako nang tawagin ni katsumi 'yung pangalan ko. umupo siya sa kabilang swing at tahimik lang kaming nandito. walang nangunang magsalita. but i gathered the courage to break the ice, again. " so bakit, kat? "

" look, xyrone, please don't get the wrong idea. " sabi niya, " it was a very stressful month for me since ang daming pinapagawa ng admin sa'min. " she paused as she tousled her hair and sighed. " i was very tired and dumating pa si sylvester kaya mas lalo akong na-stress. "

" bakit ka naman na-stress nung dumating si sylvester? " i asked her, she looked at me and sighed. she was silent for a moment before speaking up again, " he was my ex-boyfriend. alam mo naman siguro na lagi niya 'kong minemessage diba? na-pepressure ako dahil sa'kanya. he kept saying things that made my heart ache. "

i faked a laugh and looked at the gray clouds forming. ah, nakikisabay pa yung panahon sa'min. napakagaling talaga. bwiset. " ayaw mo na ba? " i asked, out of the blue. she stopped and stared at me, " what? "

i looked at her straight in the eye and said, " ayaw mo na ba? " she kept quiet and sighed. tahimik lang kami pareho, ang sakit puta. " sorry, xyrone. " she said. " bakit? bakit bumitaw ka na, kat? "

" ayoko na, xyrone. " she said, tumayo siya at tumayo din ako. she took a step closer to me and smiled, " they say, young love is painful but at least in this young love of ours, we experienced happiness, right? " sabi niya as she carresed my face. i sighed and looked down on my feet. she held my chin up and smiled, " Alam kong common nang line 'to, Pero– It's not you, It's me. Kaya don't you ever think na kasalanan mo 'to. Kasi ako talaga 'yung may mali. " she said as she placed both of her hands on my cheek. she examined my face and smiled.

" thank you for making me happy, xyrone. you were the sweetest man i met. i hope you find the perfect woman for you. please be happy. " she said and planted a kiss on my forehead, " sorry xyrone. goodbye. " sabi niya as she removed her hands, naglakad na siya palayo and didn't even stop to look back. puta, ang sikip ng dibdib ko.

i guess i have to cut the strings now, huh?
