Pinalipas ko ang ilang araw para mabigyan ng panahon si Juliet. Alam kong makakapag isip isip sya at sa huli ako rin ang pipiliin nya.

Habang nasa office ako, sya ang naiisip ko habang nakatingin ako sa table na sya ang dating umuukopa.

"Sir?" tanong ng bago kong sekretarya.

"Yes?"

"The front desk called. Somebody is looking for you." sabi nito.

Nagliwanag ang muka ko. "Sino daw?"

"A certain Yue Chen"

Nawala ang ngiti ko at napalitan ng pagtataka. Why?

"Paakyatin mo" utos ko.

Ilang sandali pa, dumating na ang lalaki.

❤❤❤

Juliet's POV

It's the day Yue is coming back to Taiwan. Sa isang buwan na kami ulit magkikita.

Mabigat ang dibdib ko habang nakatingin sa kanya. Paano kapag wala na sya at bumalik si Vince para kulitin ako? Maipapangako ko bang di ako bibigay?

Konting salita at gestures lang ni Vince, lumalambot na ako. Ayaw kong makasakit ng damdamin ng iba.

Kaming dalawa lang sa airport. Di nakasama sina Kelly at Ben dahil may kanya kanya ring trabaho ang mga ito. Kaninang umaga, si Yue na mismo ang pumunta sa kanila at nagpaalam.

"Juliet.. " Yue's voice.

"Yeah?" napakurap ako.

"Do what makes you happy." nakangiti nyang sabi.

"Eh?" nagtaka ako sa sinabi nya.

"I know it's him that's in your mind right now. I don't want to hold you with me and seeing you this way." he held my hand. "So, follow your heart. Do what makes it happy."

Hindi ako makapagsalita. Am I that transparent for him to see right through me?

Ilang sandali ng katahimikan.

"I I don't want to hurt you, Yue. You're my boyfriend. It's not right." yumuko ako.

"Do you think seeing you unhappy doesn't hurt me? It hurts me more knowing I'm the reason why you can't have your happiness. Let's just say I'm the good guy here. Give Vince a chance.  I know it's him you need." his voice is full of sincerity.

How can I do as he say when he's a precious guy? He doesn't deserve to be dumped. Or was it me who doesn't deserve him?

"Are you breaking up with me?" I looked at him and tears slowly rolled down my cheeks.

"No. The right thing to say is that I'm setting you free." pinunasan nya ang luha ko. "Please don't cry, sweetie. I don't want to go home with that sad face on my mind."

I sniffed and tried to stop myself from crying.

He leaned closer to me and kissed my forehead. "If he ever break your heart, just give me a call and I'll come right away to break his bones."

Natawa ako sa sinabi nya. "Thank You. You're a good man, Yue. I'm sorry."

Tumango sya. "There. That's a nice smile. It's ok. Don't mind me. I served in the military so I'm a tough guy." he chuckled.

"I hope I can see you again." nasabi ko.

Natigilan sya. "Sure. If Vince will let you. But I think it's better not to."

I felt sad. So this is goodbye..

Naiintindihan ko na ayaw na nya akong makita after this. Masasaktan nga lang naman sya. Even if he try to hide it, I know he's hurting inside.

"You be good. Don't skip your meals, take care of yourself. Make sure you have pretty things to wear and lastly stay beautiful and kind. I'll get in now." he pat my head.

Hindi na ako nagsalita. Tumalikod na sya at nagsimula nang maglakad palayo..

Palayo sa akin..

Paalis sa buhay ko..

Yue... My tears fell down again when he got inside the entrance and never looked back at me again.
