Heaven on Heaven (COMPLETED)

Chapter Seven.

She waited for three minutes to finally talk. And Sean, he was just casually walking beside her. Hindi rin naman ito nagsasalita. Mukang pinapakiramdaman niya.

He broke the silence. "So?"

She inhaled deeply. "So, ayun nga. Ayaw sakin nung family niya, kasi suma total, hindi pa ako mayaman. Hindi pa non ganon kalaki ang savings ko. At ang tanging maipagyayabang ko lang daw e yung two-storey house namin sa XavierVille na pinamana pa sakin. Wala pa rin akong kotse nung time na yon. And hindi pa ganun ka-regular ang trabaho ko. Since I was just starting. Inayawan din ako nung guy. He took me as a challenge. Sabi niya, I was different from other ladies. Nagtagal din naman kami nang isang taon. And then after that, akala niya makukuha niya sakin yung.." She trailed off and signed the V letter on her fingers.

"You give that to him?" Tanong nito.

"Pwede batukan kita nang isa lang? Kahit gwapo ka, babatukan kita." She said.

Tumawa naman ito.

"Baliw! Syempre--"

"Oo?"

Mahina niya nga itong binatukan. "Syempre, hindi! Baliw na 'to. Hindi ko bibigay yon no. Ano? Dagdag collection niya lang ako? Ba, isampal ko sa kanya passbook ko ngayon nang nalalaman niya kung magkano na pera ko sa bangko."

"San ba bangko mo? Nang ma-withdraw-han."

Napanganga siya. "Di ba, mayaman kayo?"

Tumango naman ito. Naks, di manlang tinanggi.

"Kukuhanan mo pa ako, e mayaman ka kaya."

Sean shrugged his shoulders. She rolled her eyes. "Your ex is such a douchebag."

"I know, right? He's an ass!"

Natawa ito. "Bitter?"

"Naka-move on na ko! Ano ka ba? Bitter lang ako dun sa part na kaya niya ako inayawan at nang pamilya niya kasi hindi pa ako nun kumikita nang malaki. I mean, basehan na ba yon?"

"No. If a guy really loves you, it doesn't matter your flaws. You're a human. You're not born to be perfect. If he really loves you, he should embrace your imperfections. Dapat yun ang mas mahalin niya."

"See? That's the thing! He didn't love me. He's just inlove with the idea of us."

Tumango tango ito. "He's still an ass for me."

"Sinabi mo pa."

"Who's your ex by the way?"

"Lucas. Lucas Montaño."

"Lucas Montaño?"

Tumango siya.

"The soccer player wayback college days?"

"How did you know?"

"We're just the same age, Ulysses. Besides, I play wayback then."

"Soccer din?"

Umiling ito. "Volleyball. I was a varsity back then."

"E pano mo siya nakilala?"

"Not that I really know him, I just heard his name."

Napalingon ito sa kanya. She was eyeing him. "What?" He asked.

"You really don't know him? Not ever? As in hindi mo siya nakaka-meeting or something?"

Tumango ito. "But I think, Kuya Thunder knows him. Well, he rejected his business, and that's it."

"Hindi ba nakakatakot yung kuya mo?"
