Scenarios Of Us

break up

"Ly has been looking at me weirdly, all day."

Ella's eyebrows crossed together and then throws Den a questioning look.

"It's not a bad kind of weird though.. It's a good kind of weird..."

"Well, hindi ko sya gets.. So support nalang kita, besh."

"No.. I mean.. Do you think she'll break up with me?"

Ella almost spits out the teriyaki that she's eating, Den widens her eyes in slight panic.

"Grabe ka naman, besh. Binigyan mo kaagad ng conclusion ni wala pa ngang concrete evidence yang iniisip mo"

"Ginagawa mo namang thesis eh.."

"Eh ikaw kasi.."

"I just.. I feel like she's been distant, kasi parang she's way too deep in her thought every now and then the past few days.. It's really stressing me out, we're graduating and all and.. What do you think?"

"hmm" Ella rubs her chin dramatically in thought. "I dont think so.. But then you're right, those are signs of an incoming break up.  So besh be ready nalang"

"What The--" Den shouts but Ella luckily covers her mouth on time.

"Shush ka nga besh! Dis oras na ng gabi ang ingay ingay mo." Ella said in a hushed tone.

"You wouldn't even stop her or talk some senses into her?! You're really going to just let her 'break up' with me if, and I hope to God not, that's really why she's acting weird?!"

Den rants incredulously. Her words falling deaf into Ella's ears, who is now munching some Cheetos.

"ang utak mo talaga. Hindi ka pa nga sure diba. But still, if so, I'll be sad. The AD ship had sunk. "

Ella recieved a hard slap and it echoes through the room.

"OUCH!!!"

Later that night...

Ella's left her and Ly arrived late, as usual. But Den doesn't mind and stood still waiting for her. Specially tonight cause she's going to confront Alyssa all about the things that's been nagging in her mind.

"I thought you'd wait for me.."

Ly go straight to her but instead of getting in the room upstairs together to let Ly change, the latter stopped her and hugged her from behind.

Instead of feeling butterflies, she felt anxiousness.

What if it's one of her goodbye hugs??  She thought.

"Do you mind if I invite you for a walk tonight?"

Oh god no! Is this it??

"Uhm.. Ok lang, where we going ba?"

"Just.. Somewhere, you know? Anywhere. Have some fresh air and.. Talk."

Sweet Jesus. What have I done. She's really gonna break up with me.

After getting in some sweater, they took off, not really minding where they're going.

Their feet took them in the grounds where The bonfire annually happen.

The night's cold and Ly isn't holding her hand. And she's in deep thought.. Again.

The farther they walk, the more nervous Den gets.

And then they find a bench to sit on. Both silent.

Until Alyssa broke the silence and held her hand.

Oh god is this where its gonna happen?  I'm gonna curse this bench!

"Den.. "

"Yes?"

Ly smiled at her, but it doesn't quite reach her eyes.

Den just got her confirmation.

Ok then, I think I can be the bigger person and.. Just.. Understand her and accept it? Whatever it is?

"Den.. "

"Mhmm? "

Ly held her other hand and then brought it up together fer her lips to kiss, it lingers there a little longer.

"You see.. I've been thinking.."

Den stays silent, looking straight ahead, preparing for an impending pain to break her heart into pieces.

"Uhm.. I've been thinking about this for weeks.. And.."

Oh great, it's been too long, why didn't I noticed sooner?! And she's really making it  a soft drop. Well, it's not going to hurt less.

Den closed her eyes and prepared herself.

This is it. I'll be a lonely single by the time we graduate.

"Will you marry me?"

Oh god I'm gonna cry, is this going to hurt this-wait what?!

And dead silence followed. Their eyes met in both wonder.

"Den?"

"You're not breaking up with me?"

Ly's eyes widens in shock.

"What?!"

"I thought you were going to break up with me.."

"No! Why would I--"

"I don't care anymore! Yes!!"

Den grabbed Ly's now frowning face and kiss her everywhere.

"Yes! Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. I'm gonna marry you!"

"Oh god. I thought--"

"Where's the ring?! Put it in my finger!"

"W-wait, ito na po."
