THE UNTOLD TRUTH

~•~•~
The cold breeze of the wind touches my skin.The moon and the stars are now visible.Maybe, for normal people, who doesn't have a problem in their past, it is a normal evening to gaze up the dark sky.Moon and star gazing, huh?
Sana ako rin.Sana kaya ko ring maging masaya.I wish I can turn back the hands of time.Back when I can easily smile and laugh.
I sighed.Hindi na pwede.Hinding-hindi na maibabalik pa ang dati.On my second thought, ayaw ko rin iyon.Dahil kung ibabalik ko pa ang nakaraan, masasaktan lang ako ng paulit-ulit.Ayoko na, pagod na ako.Dahil baka sa pangalawang pagkakataon, hindi ko na kakayanin ang sakit na idinulot nila.
But I can't stop myself from reminiscing the past. Siguro gan'un nga iyon.Hindi naman madaling kalimutan nalang ang nakaraang may malaking parte sa buhay ko.Pero ang nakaraang iyon ay siyang dahilan rin ng aking pagbabago. That past made the new version of myself.The current me.
That's how life works.Contradictory.
Five years had passed since I left.Since I left him. That five years of my life is not easy.It's not easy to live that five years, alone.Kahit na may umaalalay sa akin, I can't help but to feel the loneliness and sadness na idinulot nila. But at least, I've been independent since that night.
Sa limang taong pamumuhay ko ng mag-isa, I learned new things.I am not that ignorant already.
Hindi na ako marupok tulad ng dati.
In that five years, I already accepted my fate.I am destined to rule some people. Quite not sure if 'some people' lang talaga.Well, it depends. Noon, palagi ko itong tinatanggihan.But the five years, being independent, made me a practical thinker, as who I am today, it changed my mind.
Sa paglipas ng panahon, hindi imposibleng may magbago-ika nga nila.
I rested my chin on the table' surface and looked up to the dark sky.I took out my phone from my denim short's pocket.I pressed the button and the time '11:11' welcomed my sight.After five long years, ngayon ko lang ito gagawin ulit.
I closed my eyes and slowly uttered my wish, "Wish me luck. "
Sabi nila kapag 11:11 na ng gabi, you can wish and your wish will come true.How is that possible? I believe or I don't? Neither.
I muttered "wish me luck" for my very important upcoming comeback.
The vibration from my phone got me back to my senses.
My eyebrow arched when I saw who's name plasterred on my phone's screen.
Caine calling...
Ano namang kailangan ng lalaking 'to?
I slid the answer button.
"Oh? What do you want?"
I heard him chuckled. "Ouch Zaiah! You hurt my ego.I am not a materialistic person- I'm just a handsome man. I just called to check on you, mi' amore," arrogance is always siding him, huh?
"Tsk.What a pity.You're believing in yourself too much! In the end, you'll just get hurt.You'll be disappointed, man.And stop calling me 'mi amore'! I am not your love, you asshole!"
Tumawa lang siya sa kabilang linya.Ang hangin talaga nito.Ang taas ng tingin sa sarili eh.
"Ok ok! Relax.I am not an asshole, just to inform you.Dahil mukhang okay ka naman.Ako'y magpapaalam na at marami pa akong gagawin...may naghihintay na sa aking kama!" He laughed.
