Behind Every Scars [COMPLETED]

Prologo

"ARE YOU alone?" Napalingon ako sa babaeng tumabi sa akin. She looks like a hoe with her clothes, showing off her cleavage.

Hindi ko siya pinansin at tinitigan lamang ang basong hawak ko. I flinched when someone tapped my shoulder. Kunot-noo kong nilingon ang may gawa niyon at napangiwi na lamang.

"What are you doing here, Kobe?" I asked him blankly.

"Nothing, just want to have a little drink." He snatched the whiskey on my hand and drink it directly to the bottle.

Napailing na lamang ako at tinawag ang bartender at muling umorder ng alak. I looked at him and shake my head. Kobe is a married man now, and seriously? I'm happy for him.

"Where's Dominique?" tanong ko sa kaniya.

"She's with the girls, having their good times," sagot nito at dinukot ang cellphone.

He's texting his wife, I know him. Hindi siya napapakali kapag ganitong malayo ang asawa niya sa kaniya. What a badass man turned into a pussy whipped husband. Nakakaawa nilalang.

"Puntahan mo na ang asawa mo, hindi 'yong text ka nang text diyan."

He chuckles. "You know what, Hugo? I want Dominique to enjoy her times with her friends."

"Huwarang asawa," komento ko at tinungga ang bote.

Silence reign between the two of us. Kobe know what I've been through, what my struggles lead me to, what my scars came from.

Six years ago, I was involved to a car accident, reasons of having a lot of scar. Tinabunan ko lamang ng mga tattoos dahil naaalala ko lang kung paano ako muntikang mamatay. But Kobe saved me. At utang na loob ko sa kaniya iyon.

"Iniisip mo siya..."

Napalingon ako kay Kobe na diretso lang ang tingin. I'm always thinking of her and it will never change. Tumango na lang ako at tumayo na.

"Saan ka pupunta? Sa kaniya na naman?" tanong ni Kobe.

He tsked and shake his head. Hindi ko na siya sinagot at nagbayad na lamang ako. It's almost late and I need to see her first before this night end.

I was in loved and still in love with her. She was my Queen, she was once mine.

Sandali ko siyang nakalimutan nang dumating si Dessa Joy sa buhay ko. I admit, I really like her. Dessa reminds me of her. But like her, Dessa is never be mine. So I set her free.

Mabilis akong umangkas sa aking sasakyan at pinaharurot iyon papunta sa isang partikular na lugar. The moment I reached the house, I stopped my car and turned off my headlights.

Binaba ko ang bintana ng sasakyan at pinagmasdan ang bandang pinto kung saan bahagya pa iyong nakabukas. I smiled sadly as I saw her, smiling wide and giggling cutely. She walked towards the door and inhaled the freshness wind of the night while rubbing her tummy... her swollen tummy.

Yes, she's pregnant with her six months baby boy.

Paano ko nalaman? Because I was asked by her, If I can be the baby's godfather. I said yes. It was hurt but I need to.

Mabilis akong nag-iwas ng tingin ng mula sa likuran niya ay yumakap ang asawa nito. My heart is still pounding hard and it was painful.

Six years ago, I left her. And I don't regret leaving her. Because right now she's happy.

She's happy without a scarred man like me.
