Zaila's POV

I decided to go home early. Because I don't have any stuffs to do in school. Jay and I had some argument again, as always. We also didn't celebrate our valentines day because of that damn profession of him, though wala naman talaga akong gana buong araw.

I lay myself on the bed and opened my facebook account. Laman ng news feed ko ang batian ng happy valentines day. Kaliwa't-kanan rin naman ang mga bitter. Saying na 15 ngayon at walang 14.

Andy Cast with Alexandra Simson

I'm really happy spending my time with you.

Nilapag ko ang cellphone ko after I read his post. I massage my head. This day is really a headache for me.

Napatingin ako kay Ashley na pumasok ng kwarto ko with a bouquet of flowers on her hand. She sat on Denise' bed and leaned the flowers on my direction. "Ano namang gagawin ko dyan??" I asked.

"Ah siguro kakainin mo??" I glared at her. "Kidding. Pinabibigay ni Jay. Happy valentines daw." Aniya "Lapag mo na lang dyan" Ginawa nya ang sinabi ko at nilapag nga ang bulaklak sa kama.

"Jay is outside." I squinted my eyes at our rooms window. The wind blows hard as the curtains dance. "Babaan mo na." She mumbled.

I heavy sigh. Ayoko syang makita. "Paalisin moㅡ"

"He wants to apologize." Binalik ko ang tingin kay Ashley. "I don't want to see him." The word I said before she leave me. Tumitig na lang ako sa kisame ng kwarto. Ang sakit ng ulo ko.

I heard my phone rang kaya tiningnan ko ang caller ID nun. Jay's name flashed on the screen. Hindi ko yun pinansin. My cellphone's kept on ranging until it missed. I closed my eyes.

I feel so emotional today I don't know why. Dahil siguro sa nalaman ko ngayong araw na parang napapagod na ako sa relation namin ni Jay. This past few days kasi after ng christmas ay puro na kami away.

Sometimes dahil nga sa profession nya as a basketball player, yung mga promises nya na mga nasisira. Yung mga simpleng bagay lang na pinapalaki ko siguro. Mga ganung away.

I recieved a call from unregestired number kaya naman sinagot ko na yun. "Hello?? Who's this??" I asked the other line. "Hey.." I stunned. How did he knew my number??

"Where did you get my number??"

("Sa tabi-tabi lang.") I was about to ended the call ng magsalita sya. ("Saglit. Ok?? Saglit lang.") Nahiga ako sa kama ko at pinakinggan ang sasabihin nya. "Ano bang sasabihin mo??"

("Happy valentines day.") He greeted. "Is that all??" Tanong ko. ("Oo yun lang.")

Natulala ako. Hindi ko na alam ang susunod kong gagawin. Papatayin ko na ba tong phone call o hahayaan na lang. ("Nag-away kayo ni Jay no??") Tanong nya. "Hindi."

("Wag ka ng magsinungaling. Kilala kita.")

"Ano naman ngayon kung nag-away nga kami??"

("I love you.")

Natigilan ako sa sinabi nya. ("I still love you, Zai.") Napasinghap ako. Biglang may nabuhay na mga paru-paru sa tiyan ko. Hindi ko na maintindihan ang sarili ko. Bakit ganito??

"Tigilan mo na ako Andy."

("O sige. Kung hindi mo koㅡ")

"Stop saying those words, will you?? May Alexandra ka na. May Jay na ako. Kaya pwede ba manahimik ka na??"
