Distant Whisper

"Party tayo mamaya ha?" Aga said

"Oo nga, matutulog muna ako"

"Lei, okay ka lang ba?"

I looked at him and sighed.

"I'm just tired okay? Kung gusto mo mauna ka na. Susunod na lang ako" I said at nahiga na sa kama. 

"Sige. See you!" He said and shut the door.

I rolled over at hinayaan na pumatak ang mga luha ko.

Hanngang kailan? Mahal ko siya eh. Di ko pa kayang bumitaw.

Alas otso na ng gabi nang nagising ako, and still no sign of aga. Nasa bar pa din siguro.

"Ags where are you?" I texted him. 

I waited for him an hour more. Until I decided to sleep.

"Ags?" I said as I heard a sudden bang at the door

I got closer to the door and opened it slightly afraid it would be some intruder.

As soon as I saw what the noise is my tears suddenly fell

Aga.. Kissing another woman in front of me.

The girl noticed, and tapped aga.

"Lea? I'm sorry" aga said surprised and maybe embarrassed. 

"Babe, is this your room na ba?" The woman asked.

I looked at her. She is much younger. More slender. I looked at my self, ano ba Mali sa akin?

"Wait lang babe ha" aga said and kissed her cheeks.

Aga approached me and smiled.

"Lei? Favor naman oh, can you lipat room na lang muna?" He said and winked.

I suddenly slapped him. And I didn't know that my tears started to fall again at that very instant.

"Oww. What was that?" Aga asked holding his cheeks

"Gago ka! Gago ka! Ga-

I slapped him as hard as I can and cried. And knelt.

" lei- what are you doing? Stand up!" He said confused

"Ags, ako na lang please" I knelt and cried begging.

"What? Lei-

"Aga mahal kita, I love you "

I looked at him and there was tears in his eyes too

"I'm sorry"

I bawled my eyes out. And hugged his legs as he was trying to get away from me.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry lei, I can't" he said kissing my hair

"Ags please"

I know I look dumb. But I love him. To the extent where I could beg for him to love me.

"Lea, tumayo ka na diyan!" He roared

I shivered. I never heard aga, shouted or raised his voice.

"Look Lea, that girl outside is my fiance. Your my friend. I love you. As a friend. And I love her too. "

I composed myself and smiled.

"Fiance huh? Okay. This would be the last time. I love you, with all my heart. Sasabihin ko na at least di ako magsisisi." I laughed. A bitter laugh.

He sadly smiled and hugged me.
And for the last time I looked at him. 

He caressed my face and kiss my lips one last time and whispered.

"I'm sorry"

A/n Yes. Hahah
