I don't see you
You're not in every window I look through
And I don't miss you
You're not in every single thing I do
SHE HEARD James Arthur's song playing on the stereo of her car.
I don't think we're meant to be
And you are not the missing piece
I won't hear it
Whenever anybody says your name
And I won't feel it
Even when I'm burstin' into flames
I don't regret the day I left
I don't believe that I was blessed
I'm probably lyin' to myself again
Malungkot ang lyrics ng kanta, pero masaya nya itong sinasabayan.
I'm alone in my head
And lookin' for love in this stranger's bed
But I don't think I'll find it
'Cause only you could fill this empty space
I wanna tell all my friends
But I don't think they would understand
It's somethin' I've decided
'Cause only you could fill this empty space
She chuckled after hearing the lyrics of the song. Nanariwa sa isip nya kung paano sya nagmakaawa sa ex nya 5 years ago. Her 21 years old self is a loser. She can't believe that she beg for someone to stay like fuck?
Nag park muna sya ng kotse bago pumasok sa coffee shop. It was a nice day for her. Makulimlim ang paligid at nagbabadya ang malakas na ulan.
"One Caramel Brulée latte please." That was a perfect coffee for this kind of weather. Pinili nya ang upuan malapit sa glass window at tahimik na sumimsim ng kape.
"Good day folks! Now the long wait is over, Mr. Bryan Van finally visits us here in studio. Let's give him a warm welcome everyone."
Her body suddenly jolt after hearing that familiar name again. Araw-araw nyang naririnig at nakikita ang pangalan nito mula sa telebisyon at magazine. Binalingan nya ang flat screen T.V na nakasabit sa dingding ng coffee shop.
It's Bryan, her ex. Malaki na ang pinagbago nito. Ang dating matitipunong katawan ay mas lalo pa atang nahubog.
"It was nice meeting you Bryan." The host said. "Wow the audience are so hype right now." Nakangiti ang host na binalingan ang mga nanonood.
"What can you say about the championship game last night Bryan?" The host asked
"Ahm, it was not easy actually. It's not just me who made victory last night, it was my team and our fans as well. We had a very tiring training the whole week but it paid off tho." Ang boses nya, mas lalong lumalim. At hindi na ito katulad ng dati. His voice now is flat and his eyes were cold.
Jessica stiffed when a memory crosses her mind.
I still remember the way you smile before Bryan. Now the sweet smile and expressive eyes are gone.
Mapait na lang s'yang napangiti at umiling. Napabaling ulit sya sa televisyon para makita ang dating kasintahan.
"I was once a fan of yours." She bitterly smiled. "Your number one fan indeed." She took the last sip of her coffee then walk out of the coffee shop.
"JESSICA MAY photoshoot ka sa sabado. Yung pinirmahan mo iyong kontrata 'nong isang araw." It was her manager, Liam.
The good thing about having a heartbreak is realizing the opportunities waiting for her. Masyado talaga syang nakatutok sa ex nya dati at hindi na nabigyan ng pansin ang sariling pangarap.
Her parents owed a modeling agency and they want her to be in charge of running their business. Pero hindi sya pumayag.
She can be a supermodel on her own. Gusto nya gumawa ng sariling pangalan sa industriya ng modeling at masaya sya dahil nag tagumpay s'ya doon.
"Sige remind mo'ko sa friday." She answered before walking in to her room
Nadatnan n'ya doon si Joy. Ang dalawang taon na n'yang P.A
"Joy. Tapos mo na ayusin ang mga 'yan?" Tukoy nya sa mga maleta sa kama nya.
"Opo Ms. Jess, may kailangan pa po ba kayo?" She grab a magazine and sit comfortably on her bed.
"Wala na. Paki abot nalang ang milktea ko. Dalawa yan, sa'yo yung isa." Walang imik na sinunod sya nito at pagkuway sumimsim na din sa bigay nya.
"Bakit namamaga ang mata mo?" She didn't mind if she sounded so demanding pero parang kapatid na rin kasi ang turing n'ya kay Joy.
Joy took a deep sighed "Naalala mo pa yung naikwento kong boyfriend ko Ms. Jessi?"
She nodded "Oo. Yung Jake ba?" Tumango ito "Oh bakit ano ang nangyari?"
"Nahuli ko nanamang nambababae kagabi eh." Joy's eyes becomes watery. Naningkit naman ang mata nyang ibinaba ang hawak na magazine.
"Diba sabi ko sayo hiwalayan mo na 'yon?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong nya.
"Mahal ko eh. Kulang na nga lang Ms. Jess ako ang magmakaawang wag nya akong hiwalayan dahil hindi ko kakayanin." Nag-init naman ang ulo nya sa narinig
"Don't even think about it Joy. Maling mali na ang ginagawa mo. You know what? You're kind and you're beautiful. You don't deserve to be treated like shit. "
With a serious face, she continue speaking."Don't beg on someone just to make him stay Joy. Hindi mo mapipilit ang taong ayaw na. Know your worth as a woman, okay?"
She can't take the scene. It was like watching her old self suffering .
Natigilan sya ng mapansin ang pagtunog ng telepono
"Babe." Babe? Who's this fucker this time? She asked to herself. Hindi kasi matatapos ang araw na wala syang nari received na message mula sa ibat ibang phone number.
"Babe I miss you so bad." Handa na sana syang iblock ang number nito pero natigilan sa huling mensaheng nabasa.
"Babe. My baby Jess, I'm coming back. Please, please let me in again. I still love you."
Para syang binuhusan ng malamig na tubig
Noo. It's not him! Hindi pwede. She's staring at her phone. Fear wrapped her heart. Hindi pwede. Wala ka ng babalikan I will never let you hurt me. Never again
Empty space by James Arthur 😊
