Chapter 56
Let go

"OMG! You were with him!" Jane and Cassie squealed right after opening the door for me.

Max left after dropping me sa apartment because he said he had to meet with Marco for something family related. I guess they are really busy now that uuwi na ang grandparents nila.

Cassie was here with Jane sa apartment kasama si Red. Vee was still travelling kasama si Brian now that they are engaged. Jane was still single, and Cassie was.. happy.

"Ang tagal nating hindi nag-kita!!" Jane commented. Nasa kwarto kami ngayon, catching up on everything that happened.

"Tagal ka diyan? One week lang!" Cassie said. Inirapan naman siya ni Jane.

I was just laughing beside them because I missed them so much. I was preoccupied with Max for the last few days kaya hindi ko na rin sila masyado naka-usap.

"So what happened?" Usisa nila.

They knew that we're back together dahil nakita nilang binaba ako ni Max.

Ngumiti ako. "He... remembered everything. Even before kami magkita ulit, naalala na niya ako."

They both rolled their eyes na para bang hindi sila makapaniwala sa sinabi ko. "So, nagpretend lang siya na hindi ka niya maalala?" Jane gasped.

I nodded slowly. There was a long pause after that, and inantay ko nalang sila mag-salita ulit. I don't want Maxon to come out as the bad guy for pretending like he didn't know me. We had our fair share of faults in this relationship and I'm completely aware of that.

"Bakit daw?" Sabi ni Cassie.

I took a deep breath before telling them everything, every detail. I made sure I did not miss any points para mas maintindihan nila. They just listened intently as I go along.

It was hard at first. Everything happened too fast but I'm glad we went through that.

A lot has happened now but I'm thankful for everything. The months I spent with him being cold to me because I thought he forgot about me was worth it, kahit na mahirap.

Matagal ko ng naintindihan ang reason niya. I understand everything.

"... so ayun, in the end, we apologized to each other dahil parehas kami nagkamali."

Natahimik sila pag-tapos kong ikwento sakanila lahat ng nangyari. I chuckled when I saw their shocked expressions.

"So.. all this time he knew??"

I nodded slowly at Jane who's trying to put together everything that I've just said.

"Wait wait!" Cassie said in the middle of nowhere. "So nung nagpunta kayo ng Soleado????"

She paused for a while and gave me a funny look. I don't know why bakit naramdaman ko agad ang pag-init ng mukha ko when she said Soleado. Hindi ko pa yun naiisip pero.. oo nga. That time.. when we kissed.. he already remembers me!

"I... I guess so," sabi ko sa maliit na boses.

The two of them squealed at hinampas ako ng unan. I laughed with them hanggang sa kumalma na kaming lahat.

"So what happened after that?" Jane asked in a funny tone.

I swear I have to control my emotions next time when it comes to Max dahil bigla bigla umiinit ang mukha ko! Maybe it's because iba ang naalala ko. Ugh, Ria!

Umiling ako and acted as if hindi ko naintindihan ang tanong ni Jane.

"Huh?" I asked. "Anong ano nangyare?"
