I had a hard time keeping my tears at bay while looking at the box he just gave me.
I slowly opened it and saw my pictures that was taken by him. The box also had the necklace that I gave him during our anniversary.
"Do you know what's the meaning of this?" I asked him but he just kept silent.
He looked at me with pity in his eyes.
"I'm sorry." He said as he bowed his head.
"Akala ko ba ako parin?"
Tears were falling endlessly.
Akala ko kasi kapag pinili ko siya, pipiliin niya din ako. Akala ko may ipaglalaban pa ako. Akala ko ako parin.
"She was there when I need you. Siya iyong kasama ko nung mga oras na ikaw dapat ang karamay ko." Sumbat niya sa'kin.
"I have my dreams Adrian. Alam mo iyon." I told him.
"I know. But you're so busy chasing your dreams that you forgot that I was at your back waiting for you to look back."
"Kaya mo ako pinagpalit sa iba?"
"Hindi kita pinagpalit. Ikaw ang tumalikod sa'tin."
He reached for my hand and pressed it.
"I'm glad to see you here, Andy. Pero mukhang hanggang dito na lang talaga tayo."
Napaiyak ako habang pinapanood ang likod niyang unti-unting lumalayo sa'kin.
"Adriaaaan!" I shouted for his name and he looked back. I ran towards him and hugged him very tight.
"I'm sorry." I said while crying.
He patted my back.
"It's okay. Maybe we aren't just meant for each other."
He pulled away and for the last time, he waved goodbye.
I guess that's it. No matter how long you've known each other, dadating talaga kayo sa point na wala ka nang ibang pagpipilian kung hindi ang bumitaw.
