Baka Sakali

7 Years Ago

Sam's POV

Everything went smoothly. We did not got married sa church and the wedding is very intimate. We spent 1 week with our family but they all went home sa Philippines and as for me and Amiel we decided to rent a flat here in America.

We said that we want to try this relationship and gusto namin ay kaming dalawa lang kaya pumayag ang parents namin na for a year ay magtravel kami. Ang hindi nila alam ay we will just stay here in America for 6 months and sasabihin lang namin na it can never work.

Ria is with us na kaalis ng parents namin ay sinundo namin siya kung saan hotel sya nag-stay. She is sacrificing a lot din naman na mapalayo sa Philippines dahil andun ang work niya.

"You ready?" Amiel asked her at kinuha na ang mga bagahe ni Ria. She will live with us. Ang weird ng set up namin. I won't even gain anything sa set up na ito maliban sa natulungan ko silang dalawa. I am trying to be a good friend here. Magpatayo na kaya ako ng monumento ko, I am being the best friend in the world.

"Yes, I already packed everything. Tingin ko wala naman ako nakalimutan na. But, will it really be okay? Don't you find it awkward, Sam?" she asked and it looks like she is waiting for my assurance that everything is okay.

Of course, it is awkward but we need to do this one.

"It is okay for me, pero if it bothers you naman I can take the flat next to our place." I said kahit na alam kong delikado kapag ginawa namin yun. I know our parents hindi nila paniniwalaan agad ang ginawa namin ni Amiel. They suspect but let us do. I don't think papabayaan na talaga nila kami.

"No. Okay lang sa akin." she answered back. There is something that she's hiding alam ko. No one is this kind ever lahat may kasamaan pero sa tinagal ko syang kilala wala sya pinapakitang masama. Oh well, it does not really matter to me. Kaya na ni Amiel ihandle kung sakali man na meron.

"So, ladies if you both are ready, can we go already?" Amiel said while going straight to the door para lumabas na.

I stood up and walk towards the door as I tapped a number on my phone.

"Hello" answered by the person on the other line. It looks like I just woke her up dahil boses bagong gising lang sya.

"Stella. This is Sam. Can we meet?" I answered. Well, Stella's a friend of mine. I just contacted her today dahil ayaw kong dumalo pa siya. She's such a nagger pagdating sa buhay ng may buhay but does not want to share anything about her.

"Sam, who?" sabi ko na nga ba tulog pa ang diwa nito. Ang hilig kasi niya pumarty. Tulog sa umaga, gising sa gabi ang babaeng ito.

"You're most beautiful friend." I already know she will recognize me.

"OMG!!! You are here?"

I rolled my eyes and waited here at the lobby. Ang tagal din naman kasi ng mga kasama ko. "Obvious ba? Anyway, can we meet at your place?" I asked her while watching Amiel assist Ria. I don't want to watch how sweet they are mamaya kaya iiwas na lang ako. Not that I have an issue with them being sweet with each other but I feel like it is not even right to be an audience. I don't really like making fool out of myself.

"Yeah, sure. I will send you the address." she answered. Thank you. At least may pupuntahan na ako.

"Okay. See you later." and I ended the call.

"Let's go." Amiel said while Ria on his side holding his arm. I look at their arm like stupid. Of course they are in a relationship. I should get use to this. For 6 months kong titiisin ito. Why life is being like this with me? Can they just send someone who can understand my personality. I removed my eyes on their arms and look at Amiel.

"Mauna na kayo. I will go a friend's house. I will just call when I will go home." at pumara na ko ng Taxi. I think this set up is stupid but here I am being the greatest friend ever. I told the driver where we are going and I arrived at Stella's place in no time. We exchange our greetings and I told her the story of my life right now.

"Girl, you are so stupid. I think you like your friend. And you are being too hard on yourself." she commented after I told her everything.

"You know I am not capable of loving someone." I answered back. We plan to go and party tonight. I don't want to go home and see the reality, yet.

"And, you also know that you are torturing yourself and feeding lies." I did not answer and just look on her set of clothes. I did not bring party dress and we have the same body figure so I guess it will all be find. I chose a simple dress 2 inches above the knee and strapless. It hugs my figure. It is good that I am wearing a black stiletto. I just put a little make up and I am set.

You should have think ten times before executing your plans of yours." she still did not finish her rant.

"I will be okay. It is just 6 months." we rode her car. She will drive, of course.

"6 months is long. Many things can happen. And, I just wish you will be okay especially your heart. I don't want to see you crying again."

I keep silent. Yeah. Again. 7 years ago. I too become stupid and victim of the most harsh love.

That is why I will not go back and fall in love again. Amiel is a nice guy, he deserve to be happy. He don't deserve to get hurt. And, hurt means depriving him of his happiness with the other person. I don't want him to experience what I've gone through before.

7 Years Ago.

"Happy Monthsary, Love." Tom greeted and kissed me on my cheeks.

He courted me for a year before we became a couple and now it is our 7 months of being in a relationship.

"Happy Monthsary too. How's your day?" I asked him. We are both student and he is not the popular type. I like it having a simple relationship and private one.

"It's okay, just got busy. You know school stuff." I agree with him, well of course he is taking political science and want to be a lawyer someday. Everything is perfect for our relationship. I will never ask for more.

"Soon. Everything will be fine. School stuff will be over and you will be a successful lawyer." I comforted him and held his hand.

As the days passed by he is becoming busier and busier which I understand.

Until one day, he called me and said that he needs to talk to me.

"Sammy, let's break up."

I felt someone poke me.

"You are still thinking about him?" Stella asked. I did not felt that a tear fell down on my cheeks again.

"Who?" I asked her and trying to convince myself that she doesn't know anything even when she witness how broken I became.

"Stop pretending and learn to accept things, Sam. Let's go. We are here." she answered.

Yes, I already accepted it but it still hurt. I can still remember. It still freaking hurt.
