"Ang tigas tigas talaga ng ulo mo, ano?!"
"Wag mo kong sigawan dahil hindi mo alam kung bakit ako ganito!"
"Alden, you're drunk, alam ko na ya--"
"Hindi, Maine! Ganito ako dahil sayo! Ganito ako dahil iniwan mo ko! Ganito ako dahil mahal pa rin kita!"
Wait. Oh no...
"M-mahal m-mo parin a-ako?"
"Oo!"
I hugged her and kissed her. Alden, ayusin mo ung sarili mo, you are such a waste. After a couple of minutes, I fell asleep. Haysss, Lord, help me. The next day...
"M-maine? A-nong ginagawa mo dito?"
"Alden, kwarto ko to."
"Then paano ako napunta dito? Teka! A-anong nangyare kagabi?! Shet. I'm sorry, Meng! Pananagutan ko yan kung gusto mo, wag ka lng magalit saakin, please!"
Then I heard her laugh.
"Hay nako, Faulkerson. Porket nandito ka sa kwarto ko at lasing kagabi... OA masyado ah."
I scratched my head because of embarassment.
"Sorry... Ano nga bang nangyare kagabi?"
"Confessions and kisses. Pero that kisses, left hickeys. And that hickeys, left marks. Swerte ka at naalala ko ung boyfriend ko at si Raffa."
Arghh, boyfriend nya nanaman.
"H-hickeys? W-where?"
She sighed then showed my kiss marks on her neck.
"Ay. Sorry, Meng."
"Okay lang yan. Magayos ka na, baka mamaya andyan si Raffa."
"Right. Thanks for stopping me... and yourself na din."
"Hoy! Grabe ka sakin!"
Then we both laughed. Arghhh! I missed those laughs. I haven't heard them since the day that we broke up.
"Alden..."
"Hmm?"
"I'm sorry..."
"For what?"
"Dun sa mga ginawa ko sayo noon. Kung paano kita iniwan, sinaktan..."
"S-sinabi ko yun?"
"Oo..."
"Kalimutan mo na un, Maine. Nakapag-move on ka naman na diba?"
She looked at me and nodded slowly.
"Okay lang yan. Sige, mauna na ko ah? Salamat ulit, Maine."
I hugged her then left.
Time check: 9:00 PM...
I was at the gym, doing my regular routine, when I saw her again. Ayaw talaga tumigil ng Tadhana ano?
"Hey..."
She looked up and stopped doing curl-ups.
"Hey. Anong ginagawa mo dito? Gabi na oh."
"Same question as yours."
Then we both laughed.
"So ano nga?"
"Umm, nalate ako kanina kaya naisipan kong gabi na lang mag-gym."
"Hmm... Mr. Gym boy ka na ngayon?"
Then we laughed again.
"Di naman. Nahiligan ko rin lang mag-gym."
"Kelan ka pa nag-gym?"
"Last year lang."
"Hmm? Maniwala. Last year ka lang nag-gym, tas may 4-pack abs na?"
"Eh inaraw-araw eh."
"Namiss ko tuloy ung burger mo."
