He looked at the woman approaching to their table. Ang dating mahabang buhok nito ay naging maiksi na kinulayan ng blonde na lalong nagpatingkad sa maputi nitong kutis. His eyes were fixed on her short skirt exposing her legs. Still have the sexy curves. He looked at her on her face, mala-anghel pa rin ang mukha nito na unang nakakuha ng atensiyon niya dati.

She sweetly smiled at him na sinuklian niya ng tipid na ngiti. Dati ngiti lang nito bimibilis na ang tibok ng puso niya. But now, he couldn't feel anything. Walang siyang excitement na makapa sa puso niya. He have moved on already. Thanks God.

Umupo ito sa tabi niya at akmang hahalikan siya sa labi ng iiwas niya ang mukha niya dahilan para dumampi ang halik nito sa pisngi niya.

"Hi love, it's been a long time. I missed you." Mapungay ang mga matang sabi nito.

He cleared his throat. Ang kaibigan naman niya ay nakatanghod lang sa kanila na tila nag-aabang ng susunod na mangyayari.

"Don't you dare kissed me like that." Bagkus ay sabi niya.

"W-why?" He could see pain in her eyes.

Tumikhim ang kaibigan niya. "Excuse me, I'm sorry to interrupt you guys but I'll go ahead." Manghang napatingin siya sa kaibigan. He doesn't want the idea Gian leaving him with Maureen.

'Don't leave me here' he mouthed at him pero nag-iwas ito ng tingin.

"Oh, bye Gian. Take care." Ani Maureen.

"Thanks." Seryoso itong bumaling sa kanya. "'Til next time bud." Paalam nito.

'Fuck you!' He mouthed.

"Same to you man." at tumalikod na.

He wants to punch Gian for leaving him. Napabuntong-hininga siya.

"Hindi mo na ako sinagot." Boses na nagpabalik sa huwisyo niya.

"Oh, about that, I'm serious. You just can't kissed me like that. I mean you're not my girlfriend anymore."

"We can be together again if you want." Sansala nito.

Mapakla siyang ngumiti. "Seriously? You dumped me, remember? And now you want us back like nothing happened before?"

"And I regret that. I'm sorry, let me make it up to you. I'll be good now. Hinding-hindi na kita iiwan. I'm sorry love. Please forgive me." Nagmamakaawang sabi nito. Hinaplos nito ang pisngi niya.

"Matagal na kitang napatawad. I've moved on already. I'm happy now with my girlfriend."

"You.. You have a girlfriend?" Kita niya ang sakit na bumalatay sa maamo nitong mukha.

He nodded.

"But I'm your first love."

"Does it matter?"

"Of course it matters!" Tumaas ang boses nito.

"Being my first loved doesn't mean you'll be my last love." He doesn't care kung masaktan ito sa sinabi niya.

"No that's not true! I know I'm in there." Itinuro nito ang puso niya.

"Yeah, but that was before. Ang pagmamahal na nakalaan para sa 'yo dati ay nawala na. Someone already owns my heart at hindi na ikaw 'yon. I might be harsh but that's the truth. You know me, alam mo kung nagsisinungaling ako o hindi." Seryosong sabi niya dito.

Bahagya siyang umusog para bigyang distansiya ang pagitan nila. Feeling niya nagkakasala siya sa kasintahan sa paglalapit nilang dalawa ng ex-girlfriend niya.

"No! No! No! No! We could fix this, right?" Nagsisimula na itong umiyak. Hinawakan nito ang magkabilang pisngi niya. "Please tell me we could fix this. Please tell me you love me love." Nagsusumamong sabi nito.

"I'm sorry but I love her." Naaawang pinagmasdan niya ito. Pero kahit anong gawin niya wala na siyang maramdaman para sa dating kasintahan at napatunayan niya ito ngayong nasa harap niya ito. His heart belong to someone else and it's Ayesha, her girlfriend.

Mas lalong lumakas ang iyak nito. "Tell me, anong gusto mong gawin ko? Do you want me to go to your place? I can make you happy just like before. I can give everything you want." Hindi pa rin nawawalan ng pag-asa na sabi nito.

Hinawakan niya ang magkabilang balikat nito. "Maureen, stop. Huwag mo nang ipilit pa. If I still love you I should be the one chasing you, asking you for second chance for us to be together. But it's a no. I don't love you anymore. I know it hurts but I have to be honest to you. So stop, nothing will change, hindi na ako babalik pa sa 'yo." Paliwanag niya.

Tinabig nito ang kamay niya. "That's it? Wala ng second chance? Minahal mo ba talaga ako?!" She raised her voice to him.

"Minahal kita at alam mo 'yan, damn it! You have no right to questioned me like that. You blew your chance when you dumped me because of that fucking bet!" He lost his temper. Shocked written all over her face. Bumuka ang bibig nito pero walang namutawing salita mula dito.

Mapakla siyang tumawa. "You thought I wouldn't knew? Pinagpustahan niyo ako, we need to be in relationship for six months, fucking six months! After that kailangan mo akong hiwalayan dahil 'yon ang napag-usapan I mean napagpustahan niyo, right? Oh wait, there's more, hindi pa kasi doon lang natapos kasama kasi sa pustahan niyo na dapat pagkatapos mo akong hiwalayan makikita nilang nagmamakaawa ako, begging you to stay at makipagbalikan sa akin. Susuyuin ka at 'pag nangyari 'yon ikaw ang mananalo. And you thought I would gave you the satisfaction to won? No fucking way and I was so damned lucky to knew it earlier." Anger filled him. Muling nanariwa ang nangyari dati.

"I-Im s-sorry..." Nakayukong sabi nito. "I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry..."

"Damaged has been done. Tapos na 'yon at kinalimutan ko na. But you pushed me too far para ibalik ang nangyari. So please 'wag mo ng ipilit. I'm trying to be civil to you that's the least that I could do. And if you're really sorry you'll stay the hell out of me." Tumayo siya at iniwan itong umiiyak pa rin.

Ngayon lang siya nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na sumbatan ito. And it feels good na nailabas niyang lahat ng saloobin niya. Sa damn good!
