"Did it really hurt?" the boy from beside me asked.
I didn't answer.
Did it hurt?
"Did it really hurt seeing someone you love marry someone else?" he asked again.
I sighed then kneeled in front of him.
"Adrian, you're still too young to ask those questions." I cupped his small face.
"I am young by age, Tito. But I'm not stupid. I know . . ." he said.
I sighed.
"Yes. It hurt. It hurt so bad." I closed my eyes, can't help but recall how I saw her, looking stunning while walking on that aisle.
She looks happy. I am happy that she's happy.
"I was hurt. Yes. But it already happened, Adrian. The world evolves and we must evolve with it." I said.
"Paano ka po naka-move on?" he asked.
"I am not fully moved on yet, Parker Adrian. I'm still on the stages of grief. I'm on the acceptance stage. But I will get on there soon." I said, assuring him.
"One day at a time, Adrian."
"One day at a time. . ." ulit niya.
I smiled.
"A bad day ends in 24 hours, Parker. You can always start tomorrow." I said to him . . . and maybe it was for myself too.
