Changes

When we are satisfied and happy with what we have, it seems like time flies by so fast. You remember every little moments that you have with your loved ones and you make sure to keep them alive even in your memories.

My life with James was so perfect. He always says that I bring out the best in him and because of me, he knew how to appreciate everything even the little details about life.

But for me, it's the other way around. The moment I met James and our paths crossed, it changed everything in me. My simple life despite of having my own fair share of fame because of who I am in my chosen industry, my beliefs about life and love in general changed when I met him. He bring out the best in me and it made me realize many things.

That when you love someone, you are willing to sacrifice anything and everything because that's the essence of loving a person. You cannot love if you cannot even sacrifice.

Three months already passed by and everything came by like a whirlwind. It felt like it was just yesterday when James and I celebrated our first month together. And in the span of that months, many changes already occurred in our lives.

Changes that somehow made us even better and of course, change for the worst. I guess.

"Nadz, I am talking to you. Mukha atang hangin lang ng aircon ang kinakausap ko dito, ano?"

Napaangat ako ng ulo at napatingin kay Kiana when she snapped her fingers in my face. Napailing ako at pilit na ngumiti sa kanya. I've been busy staring at my phone rereading that particular article from a showbiz portal.

"A-ano? S-Sorry I was just-"

"Just rereading that article in which any single fact about James and Erika are not to be found. C'mon Nadine! Everything was just a speculation!"

Hindi ako nakasagot nung pinutol ni Kiana ang sasabihin ko. Maybe because she's right. This past few days I've been wondering why James was so distant and cold to me. I mean maybe he's just tired and pressured at this moment because of some showbiz obligations that he needs to do but I don't know. It just that something's not okay lately.

"Kung ako sayo, go and confront James. I'm sorry Naddie but I don't mean to intrude in your personal problem but napapansin ko kasi nawawala na ang communication ninyong dalawa."

She said and reached for my hand. I know Kiana is just comforting me right now and yes, she's right. Nawawala na ang komunikasyon naming dalawa at hindi ko alam kung dahil ba busy kaming pareho o may iba pang dahilan na kinakailangan ko nang gawaan ng paraan.

"How can I even talk to him, Kiana? Mahirap kausapin ang isang taong maraming excuses." I said bitterly.

Sa isang linggo, himala na kung maka dalawa o tatlong replies si James sa mga messages ko at kung nasasagot niya ang mga tawag ko. Kung nakakapag-usap man kami, hindi lalagpas sa dalawang minuto at minsanan nalang din kung magkita.

"We don't know yet the story, Nadz. You know that people from showbiz will write anything just to gain popularity and views from their websites. Hindi naman kasi porket nakapost sa social media ay totoo na."

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako at ngumiti sa kaibigan ko. I don't know anymore which one should I believe. The makeup stories about James and his ex or to side to the obvious in which he doesn't want me anymore.

Maybe because he was just overwhelmed about everything or maybe everything was just an act. He made me believe he's really into me and the moment I fall hard already from him, he will already leave me alone.
