Julia

"Talaga ba?" Umiwas ako ng tingin sa kanya. Kasi baka pag pinagpatuloy ko lang yun, mataas ang tsyansa na bumalik lahat ng mga alaala.

"Julia naman..." nilapag nya yung isang box ng cupcakes at hello kitty na stuff toy.

How childish.

"Hindi pala kita nainform na hindi na 'ko mahilig sa cupcakes, noh?" Dahan dahan syang tumango sakin. He looks like miserable and I don't think that I should care about that.

"And...sa hello kitty?" Nakita kong nagpapa-tunog na sya ng kanyang mga daliri.

Tss. Di parin sya nagbago. Well, talaga namang walang pinagbago sa kanya.

"But, just please accept it, please? Peace offering lang?" Then he smiled. But I can see the sadness in his eyes.

Serves him right.

"If you want to have peace, sana sa church ka pumunta at hindi sa ospital." I rolled my eyes at him at humalukipkip nadin. Kainis.

"Bakit ako sa church pupunta kung wala ka naman dun?" He playfully smirked. He's really testing my patience, huh?

"Pwede ba? Just...stop talking nonsense, Azreel. Pwede ba umalis ka nalang?"

"Bakit ko naman iiwan ang isang taong matagal ko ng gustong makuha?"

My left eye arched. Just, seriously? He's totally crazy.

"So, you wanna get me back to you?"

"Yes. I always will, Julia Faye."

"Sadly, pero hindi lahat ng gusto mo, nakukuha mo. At isa na 'ko doon."

"Pero pwede rin naman akong gumawa ng paraan, para makuha ko LAHAT ng gusto ko." He smirked again.

"Pero hindi lahat ng paraan na gagawin mo, mag s-succeed."

"Always remember this, Julia. You can do anything in love and you can also do anything, when you're inlove."

Ilang minutes akong napatitig sa wall clock bago pumasok sa isip ko yung mga sinabi nya. At bago ko narealize,  na finally, wala na sya dito ngayon.

You can do anything in love. And you can also do anything when you're inlove.

Ano ba 'tong utak ko? Ba't ang lakas ng impact ng mga words nya?

The only thing that I want to do right now is to erase that thought, and to erase him also in my mind.

God, Azreel.

"Hey, you alone?" Someone asked me while am I listening to a rock music.

And now, pinagsisishan ko na hindi ko nilakasan yung volume kanina.

Dahil narinig ko yung nakakainis nyang boses.

"Obviously yes." I said sarcastically.

"Lagi ka nalang rude towards me. Why ba?"

"You obviously know, Cash. So please, don't ask me that stupid question again kasi konti nalang, kakalimutan kong babae ka." Then I quickly grabbed my bag and walk away from her.

"Wait, Zachary!"

Mas binilisan ko pa yung lakad ko para hindi nya ko mahabol pero napigilan nya 'ko.
