Diary of an Introvert

27.5

His name is Jeremy. The guy who broke my heart twice 10 years ago.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"You know what? Busy ako today eh. So mauna na ako sayo, okay?" Sabi ko. I really don't want to talk to this guy right now. Yung awa na naramdaman ko kanina ay agad na nawala pagkakita ko palang sa mukha niya.

"Who's with you? Boyfriend mo? Oh, wait--- may boyfriend ka na?! Anong ginamit mong gayuma, Cee? Pahingi naman. Hahahah..." 

I'm killing him inside my mind. Stabbing him with thousands of katana and kunai. 

I breathe in and out.

"Alam mo, I don't have time to waste on this nonsense conversation, Jeremy. Kalimutan na lang natin na nagkita tayo okay? Don't stress yourself. Umuwi ka  na at magpahinga. Afterall, you're brokenhearted." 

"Brokenhearted? Hahaha....FYI, I'm the one who dumped her." 

"Okay. Sabi mo eh." I said and went inside the cafe.

Hay, all these years hindi pa rin siya nagbabago. Until now, he's still damn bad at pretending.

------------------------------------------

I went back to the table where I left Calvin but he's not there anymore. A waiter came and led me to a private hall.

"Ahm, are you sure nandito yung kasama ko? Kasi---" 

"Yes, maám. Pumasok na po kayo." Sabi ng waiter at binuksan na nga ang pinto.

Pictures of me were flashing on the screen and Calvin then walked towards me and gave me a piece of red tulip. 

"Hi." He said and held my hand. 

"Hm? Ba't isa lang to?" I'm really happy now but somehow wanted to tease him a bit.

"Come on, Cee. We both know na mas gusto mo yung nakalagay pa sa paso at buhay na buhay kesa sa isang to na malalanta lang pagkatapos ng ilang araw." 

I just smiled at him. "Eh ba't may ganitong surprise pa? Nakaabot na ba tayo ng isang taon na di ko nalalaman? Wait---o baka naman may nagawa kang kasalanan kaya mo ako dinadaan sa ganito?" 

"Hay. Cee, tatahimik ka ba o hahalikan kita?" 

"Heh. Tatahimik na." Tss. Loko to ah. 

"Good girl. Haha, maupo na nga tayo." 

I followed him but still curious of what's happening. "Cal, masaya talaga ako sa surprise mo... but seriously, bakit may ganito? I mean, okay lang naman ako sa isang simpleng dinner date."
