I never regretted the choice I made. Even though it sounded and looked so wrong, in the eyes of almost everyone. Sino ba namang baliw ang manliligaw ng lalaking kakagaling lang sa break-up? Sino pa? Edi ako HAHAHAHAHA.

Kahit ako hindi makapaniwala e, for the past 2 years I played with guys' hearts, but the tables have turned. Ako ngayon ang naghahabol. But as i have said, I don't regret it.

It's been 2 months at ang relasyon ko kay Hal ay mas naging maganda kumpara noon. Our friend, cousins and my Kuya knew about what happened. They often tease me about it, lalo na pag magkakasama kami at susunduin ako ni Hal. I did what I promised Hal, I never pressured him to move on to the next stage. Chill lang kami, parang mag best friends kung umasta.

From: HAlien

I'm on my way at your house. May game kami nila Rael ngayon.

I smiled as I read his message, naging advantage din sa amin na magkapit-bahay kami. We can easily see each other whenever we wanted to. There's a lot of changes that happened to Hal. He's much more livelier and sweeter for the past 2 months, pero his cold demeanour never changed. He's sometimes playful, naughty and at times snob. But we somewhat manage to survive 2 months even though our personalities are complete opposites.

To: HAlien

Okay then. I'll see you.

Agad akong tumayo sa pagkakahiga ko, it's still early, 6:28 am was the time as I glanced at my alarm clock on the bedside table. Napagdesisyunan ko munang maligo at magpalit bago pumunta sa baba para kumain. Since I started courting Hal, I became very conscious of how I look like and what I wear.

I took my time in bathing because of the aromatic scent of the candles na regalo ni Tita Deth sa akin last week nang nag candle making class sila nila Mommy. Nakakabad ang buong katawan ko sa bathtub and I leisurely played with the bubbles on top of the water when my phone suddenly rang.

Agad kong inabot ang phone ko na nasa gilid ng tub. It was Hal.

"I'm here"

He said in his usual cold tone, but somehow I got used to it.

"Oh, sorry! I'll be there in a bit"

"Okay"

I pressed the end call button at nagmadaling umalis sa tub para makiligo na't makapag-ayos. As soon as I got out of the bathroom, kinuha ko na ang napili kong damit na susuotin. It was a flesh colored crop top longsleeves with hood paired with a high-waisted shorts. Napili ko rin ipares ang nike air shoes ko to go with my sporty look. Dress to impress! Lalo na nandiyan si Hal. Ayieehhhh! Harot!

I blow dried my hair and tied it in a messy bun, naglagay din ako ng konting kolorete sa mukha bago nagdesisyong bumaba na to join my family for breakfast. Nasa may bukana pa lang ako ng staircase ay napukaw na ni Hal ang aking atensiyon, he was wearing a black varsity jacket where his surname was embroidered at it's back, a grey round neck shirt underneath it and paired with black jersey shorts.He was busy talking to my parents and Kuya kaya hindi na nila gaanong napansin ang presensiya ko.

I cleared my throat nang sa gayon ay maipaalam ang pagdating ko. They all turned their heads as I walk to them in the dining table, flashing them a warm smile.
