Nandito ako ngayon sa rooftop sa bahay umiiyak. Leche ka naman luha. Akala ko hindi mo ako tratraydorin. I hate you. Biglang nagbukas 'yung pintuan sa rooftop kaya tinignan ko kung sino.
"Sabi ni tita nandito ka daw sa rooftop. Mind telling me your problem, huh?" Darwin.
"Darwin, why? Bakit ganito ang nararamdaman ko? I don't have to feel this way, right? If only I didn't let myself easily fall for him, then I you don't need to see me like this. Me crying over a guy? I only cried over a guy when my dad left us. But this.... This is not right." I sobbed.
"Ssshhh.... Ssshhh..... Tama na. Stop it. Nagmahal ka lang, okay? You finally felt the feeling of being in love."
"I didn't know that this will be the feeling of love. Masasaktan ka pala."
"Aya, hindi love ang may kasalanan kung bakit ka nasasaktan. Sinasabi mo lang 'yan kasi akala mo love ang dahilan."
"I don't want to feel this way, Darwin. I want to let myself free from this feelings. When my dad left us, I promised myself not to love someone who's gonna leave me hanging in the end. But I broke that promise when I met Reil. Damn! I really fell hard!"
"Ssshhh.... Stop crying!"
"I've decided."
"What? Decision on?"
"Lolo Rodrigo's offer."
"Aya, wag mong ituloy 'yun dahil broken-hearted ka kay Reil! I swear, ikaw lang ang masasaktan in the end kapag ginawa mo 'yun! Please! You have 1 month to decide! Ayusin mo muna ang desisyon mo, Aya."
"The decision breaks me! It breaks me, Darwin! So does Reil! He does break me really hard! Damn! I really don't know why I still love him with all the broken pieces! But for now, I'm gonna make it happen! Even if the decision breaks me, I really need to do it."
"Aya, are you out of your mind?! Like hell I care with all that crazy stupid decision! Even if Reil breaks you, you don't have to do this! You'll just end up hurting yourself!"
"Darwin, I guess it's the right decision. I'll accept Lolo Rodrigo's offer."
"Aya! You have 1 month to decide! 1 month, Aya! Wag ka munang padalos-dalos na tatanggapin mo na kaagad ang offer ni Lolo Rodrigo!"
Tumahimik kaming dalawa and I sobbed again. Damn! I really fell hard over this guy! Hindi ko kayang ituloy ng desisyon ko sa mga narinig ko na sinabi ni Darwin. Well, he's right. I still have 1 month to decide.
"Now what? You realized that I'm right?"
"Yes you're right. Tama ka. Masyado akong padalos-dalos. Hindi ko muna dapat tanggapin ang offer."
"Pero, alam mo.... If you're fine with it, I'll support you. 'Yun kasi ang magiging dahilan ng maganda mong kinabukasan insan eh."
"Thank you. Pero Darwin real talk, kung ngayon ba hindi ko ito nararamdaman sa tingin mo papayag ako sa offer ni Lolo?"
"Well, maybe. It depends. Alam ko namang mahal mo si Reil kaya hindi mo kayang gawin ang desisyon na 'yan eh."
*Bzzzttt* *Bzzzttt*
Kinuha ko 'yung phone ko from my pocket and I saw that JK texted me.
Fr: JK (batman)
Hey! Heard you're broken-hearted, are you okay?
Tss. Batman daw kasi gusto kaya ganyan. Nag-reply naman ako.
To: JK (batman)
I'm fine. How did you know?
Fr: JK (batman)
Tricia. Kumain ka ha? Wag mong gugutumin sarili mo. Never commit suicide. Take care of yourself. Manuod ka nalang ng nakakatawang movie to make you feel better, a'ight?
To: JK (batman)
Yes, boss. Take care din po.
Fr: JK (batman)
Cheer up, Thalia. I love you :*
To: JK (batman)
Yeah. Yeah. Love you too. Mwaps :*
"Huy! Ika---"
"Hindi ko po boyfriend si JK. Bestfriends lang."
"Okay. Ayos ka na?"
"Nope. It still breaks me. It breaks me."
"Tama na. 1 month to decide, Aya. 1 month."
"Opo."
Hayyy.... This is just a long freaking day. Ang sakit pa rin. It breaks me real damn hard. Sana bukas mawala na 'to sa isip ko.

ChickLit"And when I held your hand, I swear, I felt like you were the one for me. Like we were meant to be, destined to meet each other and fall in love together. I love you, Aya." His words that made me feel so loved and protected. I couldn't ask for more.
