EUPHORIC
Hindi alam nila Hiraeth na lalabas kami ni Patrick ngayon. Wala akong pinagsabihan sa kanila, maski 'yung hindi niya ako nasundo, hindi nila alam.
I was doing my make up, which is light lang, when my phone rang. Unknown number kaya nagdalawang isip ako kung sasagutin ko. In the end, I chose to decline and texted the number.

YOU
who's this?

Wala akong natanggap na reply pero tumunog ulit ang phone ko. It flashed again the unknown caller's number.
"Sino 'to?" I asked when I answered the phone.
"You don't have my number?" sagot niya. With that voice, I already knew who is he.
"P-patrick! Sorry, at tsaka oo, wala eh.."
"Save my number." sabi niya. "Oo.."
Parang tanga lang, tumango ako kahit pa hindi naman niya nakikita.
"Bakit ka nga pala napatawag? Nasa baba ka na ba?"
"Uh, Euphoric.."
Mukhang alam ko na bakit siya tumawag ah?
"Hindi matutuloy?" tanong ko at pilit na pinasigla ang boses ko. Last na, kapag um-oo siya, ayoko na.
Tama na.
"It's not like that.. but something came up and I can't say no.. We can still go out, pero isang oras o kalahating oras lang ang pwede eh."
Ang daming sinabi, pero ang kinalabasan hindi pa rin naman tuloy.
"Ah, hindi na. Besides, I'm not yet preparing. Wala namang masasayang," I lied.
"Sorry talaga. I know, babawi dapat—"
"Okay lang, Patrick." sabi ko. "We can go out next time—"
"Hindi na. I understand everything. Hindi mo kailangan bumawi,"
"I'm really so—"
I ended the call without letting him finish first. I let myself cry quietly, takot na baka biglang may makarinig sa akin.
I don't have the right to be angry at him. Keep that in mind. Pero nakakasawa na marinig ang sorry niya, inuulit pa rin niya eh.
This is enough, Ri. 'Wag ka nang umasa sa gagong 'yon.
