Update

Matapos magkwento ni maine,sa mga bagay bagay sa buhay n'ya, napansin n'yang biglang natahimik si Alden.but she saw in his face na na antig ito sa kwento ng pakikibaka n'ya sa buhay.kaya gusto n'yang samantalahin ang pagkakataong ito.

"Ah,,,sir!! pwede ka rin naman magkwento sa'kin.makikinig ako."she said.

"Ha?!ah,,,e wala naman akong maikukukwento sayo."he answered.

"Imposible naman yan sir.. kahit yung,,,, before this nalang sir? pa'no ka nagkaganyan?"she asked him.

He looked at her.ayaw na sana n'yang balikan pa ang nakaraan,but seems, sincere naman s'ya na gusto n'yang malaman,at bilang sagot narin,sa pag open up n'ya sakanya.he tried his best to tell her.

He cleared his throat first"Ehem!!!..."

"Ahm.... Medical students ako...I graduated 1year before the accident.and I have my girlfriend since high school.pareho kaming nagtake ng Medical course...I tought our relationship would last until we get married.her name was "kate".my father's best friends daughter.we grew up together,but we didn't realize that we like each other, until we were in highschool.friendly date,, hanggang sa naging kami na."

Maine could see the pain in his eyes.she felt hurt too for him.

"And then, I found out, after we graduated...we supposed to take our bar exam...I saw her and my Best friend together,akala ko,wala lang yun,akala ko friends lang sila.kaya hindi ko binigyan ng malisya.until I found out one day...na minsan pala, natutulog si "Jake"my Best friend.sa condo ni can kate.i supposed to give her a surprise visit, because it's our 10years anniversary..."napailing s'ya.

"But of course!!!ako ang nasurpresa,,I saw them with my own eyes.. "having sex."..so I ran out of her condo..I drove so fast,na Parang pagmamay ari ko ang kalsada.yun na!!!I bumped into a big truck.hindi ko na alam kung anong nangyari sa'kin after that.i've been in coma for almost three weeks, according to my mom.hindi na'ko nakapag take ng exams, until now,at wala na akong balak I pursue ang pagiging doctor ko.i'm sure,,, they're both professional doctors now,and I heard,naka base sila sa America."

Napaisip si maine...."kaya ba Ayaw mong magpagamot dun?natatakot kang,,,baka makita mo sila?"she asked him.

He nodded.now she understands why... she's rubbing her hands on her laps.wanting to say something.napansin naman s'ya ni Alden.

"do you want to say something?!"-alden

"Hmmm,,,sana..pero.... maybe nextime nalang."she said.

"What is it!? c'mon! tell me."he said.

"Hmmm,, suggestion ko lang naman sana sir....i think... you shouldn't think that way... you should face them.after all,,, you're not the one who did them wrong after all...sila ang may kasalanan sayo sir!let them see  what they've done to you! but of course!! you won't go there to revenge naman, you mustn't think that way... show them, despite of what happened to you,,,lumalaban ka,but of course, you have to show them na you already moved on to her.un less....hindi kapa talaga nakaka move on sakanya sir?just incase na magkrus ulit ang landas n'yo,which is,,, not possible...or maybe,,,,I should ask you this way sir?...

"What if magkita ulit Kayo?what would you feel?"she asked him.but he's staring at her.

(He's thinking... )bakit s'ya tintanong ng ganito? para s'yang nasa hot seats!pinagpapraktisan ba s'ya nito,na mag interview?kase isa s'yang masscom graduate?or,,,may gusto s'yang malaman?is he very obvious about his feelings towards her?"mix emotions ang nararamdan n'ya sa ngayon,hindi n'ya alam,kung sasagutin ba n'ya o iibahin nalang n'ya ang topic?.

Because of his silence,,, si maine nalang ang nag iba ng topic.

"Okey sir,,,kung hindi kapa ready....try mo nalang, isipin ang sarili mo.do you think,,,tama yang ginagawa mo na just give up your life? your dreams?just because,she cheated on you?. andami mo na kaseng nasayang na panahon sa buhay mo sir... you deserve to be happy!kung masaya sila ngayon?!well let them be! pero sir,,,, hindi mo pwedeng ikulong ang sarili mo sa bangungot ng nakaraan... you have chances...pero sinasayang mo sir,,,just try to remember,lahat ng nagagawa mo nung nakakalakad kapa?.maybe it would help..."

Nakikinig lang si alden sa lahat ng sinasabi ni maine sakanya.napapaisip tuloy s'ya kung bakit sa dinami dami ng nagpayo sakanya..kay maine lang s'ya tinamaan.s'ya yung tipo ng tao na,,,magaling mangumbinsi,,, or maybe there is other reason,why her words are more powerful to him...is it because, she's special to him?.hindi rin n'ya maintindihan ang sarili kung bakit napakadali s'yang palambutin ni maine...

Maine looked at her watch.napalingon din sakanya si Alden.

"Ay,, sir,,, kailangan ko na po palang umuwe."naghihinayang na sambit ni maine.feeling n'ya kase, malapit na n'ya itong makumbinse.ganon din naman si Alden.gusto pa n'yang makasama s'ya ng matagal.

"Ganon ba?may importante kabang lakad?"he asked.

"Ah,, kailangan na kase pumasok ni Tommy sa school, one hour pa bago umuwi si Julia, walang kasama ang nanay ko sa bahay namin,,ito po kase ang oras na hiningi ko sa mommy n'yo,para sa arrangements of schedules naming magkakapatid.para makapag handa din tuloy ako ng dinner."she explained.

He looked at her, when she about to leave."aalis kana?"he asked.

"Oo sir,baka kase mahirapan pa'ko mag abang ng trycicle sa labasan."she answered.

May dinukot si Alden sa wallet.at iniaabot sakanya.

"Kunin mo na to..."he said.

Natigilan si maine..."s--sir,,,para saan ito?"she asked him.

"Basta kunin mo nalang,,,,bonus mo nalang yan sa'kin."he said (smiling)

Umaliwalas ang mukha ni maine,pero hindi dahil sa iniaabot na limanlibo sakanya,kundi sa wakas ngumiti narin s'ya ulit.

"Ah,, sir!ang cute n'yo pag ngumingiti..."she said.(smiling) alden's face,turn red.

"Pero, hindi ko po matatanggap yan sir, malaking tulong na po ang ibinigay ng mommy n'yo sa'kin.tama na po yun sir."she said.

"Pero sa'kin to galing!"he said.

"Kahit na sir,hindi ko parin matatanggap, maraming salamat nalang sa kabutihan n'yo,pero,ang pagsilbihan kayo,ay sapat na sa'kin na tulong yun.malaki kase ang sweldo kaya,sapat na sa pamilya ko"nanindigan parin si maine.ibinalik n'ya ang pera sa kamay ni alden,saka tuluyan na s'yang umalis.

Naiwan si Alden na sobra sobra ang paghanga Sakanya.sa determinasyon n'ya sa buhay.he wished he could be like her one day.
