"Thanks for the time bff. See you again pag umuwi ako dito sa Pilipinas."
"Yeah right. See you again and please take care kase may bata na sa sinapupunan mo okay?"paalala ko sa kay Trixia.
We're here at the airport. She's going back to the States and sadly baka matagalan siyang makauwi ulit dito. We bid our goodbye's and I watch her as she enter the plane.
"I'm going to miss youuu!" I shouted, enough for her to hear.
Nagflying kiss lang yung lokaret at di na lumingon pa.
I went to the parking lot and I get in my car para makabalik na sa condo.
After a few minutes, I arrived. Ngiti ang salubong sakin nung guard pagkapasok ko ng building.
"Good morning po, Ms. Ganda."
"Good morning din po Manong Delfin."
Sasakay na sana ako ng elevator ngunit napatigil ako ng nakita kong hindi ito gumagana.
"Ugh, not today."
Kainis. I have to take the stairs. This condominium is new but why is it that the elevator is not working already?
Looking at the stairs, parang ayoko ng umakyat. This is gonna be a long journey hayst.
Hingal na hingal akong nakarating sa palapag na kung nasaan ang kwarto ko. I entered my pin and the door opened.
Nagbihis na lamang ako ng pambahay. As usual, pajama and oversized shirt without wearing a bra. This is heaven. Minsan kasi, pag ako lang naman mag isa ang nandito, hindi ako nagsusuot ng bra.
I went to the mirror and looked at myself. I removed my make up, revealing the scar in my right cheek. Kinapa ko ito at inalala ang nangyari kung ba't ako nagkaroon nito. Nasa kalagitnaan ako ng pagmumuni-muni ng biglang tumunog ang doorbell.
Tumayo ako at sinilip sa maliit ng butas ng pintuan kung sino iyon ngunit hindi ko makita kung sino. Wala naman akong inaasahang bisita eh.
Binuksan ko ang pintuan at iniluwa nito ang isang lalaki. His eyes instantly gazed at my body.
"What do you think you're wearing Andrija Vian Muñoz?" taas kilay nitong sabi.
"What? As if, this is still new to you Mr. Gion Drei Randez?" I fired back.
"Pumasok ka na nga lang."
Pumasok naman siya at agad na umupo sa sofa.
"You know we don't belong to the same gender, Andz."
"Well, Gion what do you expect me to wear? Ako lang naman mag isa lang nandito. You didn't told me that you'll be going here. Edi hindi ako nakasuot."
"Next time, please wear bra. Okay?" sabay titig niya sakin.
"Hmm. Why are you like that? Is it because you are seduced?" pang aasar ko sa kawawang Gion.
"N-no. What do you mean? May girlfriend ako. And you know that," seryosong sagot nito.
Silence filled the atmosphere.
"By the way, what brings you here? Alam ba to ng girlfriend mo? Baka mamaya, sugudin ako dito,"pag iiba ko ng usapan,"umiling na lamang siya.
"I moved in here 2 days ago, same day you moved in here."
Di na ako nagulat. This condominium is owned by them, the Arandez Condominiums. Kaya tumango na lamang ako. Tama pala ang hinala ko na siya yung nakita ko the last 2 days.
"Andz, help me please?"
"Bakit?anong meron?" tanong ko.
Kanina pa ako nagtataka dahil hindi ko mabasa ang isip niya.
"I want to surprise Kei. It's our 1st Anniversary and I want to make it special."
Boom! It's about Kei again. Parang may kung anong kirot akong naramdaman na para bang paulit ulit na tinutusok yung puso ko.
"W-what kind of surprise?"
He's about to answer but someone is calling him on his phone. Tumayo siya at agad na sinagot ang tawag.
"Talk to you tomorrow, Andz," he said as he went out the room.
Tears began to flow in my eyes down to my cheeks like a river. Tears, that I've been holding since I saw him. Napaupo na lamang ako sa sahig at pinipigilan ang hikbi.
"Babi, you're killing me. Please go back to the real you. Hindi ko na kaya. Please, don't do this to me."
But ofcourse, things won't change no matter how much I cry. Maybe this is really my destiny.
But why do things need to be like this? What did I do to deserve this? Why did I do to lose him and for him to forget what we have?
