ONE SHOT STORIES

DAUNTLESS APRIL

It's already summer. Napangiti akong umapak ulit sa airport ng Pilipinas. Tinignan ko ang phone ko at calendar, it's April.

It's April when we started our love to each other.

It's April when he confessed his feelings to me.

It's April when he proposed to me.

It's April when he said he don't love me anymore.

It's April when he cheated.

It's all in April. Our love ended in last week of April. Funny is it? Nasa taxi lang ako nang may tumawag sa'kin. Pinsan ko pala.

"Hello Cyraaahhhh!" napalayo ko ang phone nang sumigaw siya. Taga palengke ata to eh.

"Aga-aga ang ingay mo. Napatawag ka?" bumaba na ako nang nakaabot na ako sa bahay. Pumasok ako sa bahay at nakita ko si Mama. Niyakap ko lang siya at yumakap din ako.

"Para sa'n 'yang white dress ma?" bulong ko sa kanya dahil nasa linya pa si Michelle. Nakita ko kasi ang ganda ng white dress para siyang gown kung tignan mo pero dress lang talaga siya.

"It's for you. Susuotin mo daw, sabi ni Michelle 'yung pinsan mo. Hindi ko alam eh bakit." kumunot naman ang noo ko.

"Para sa'n 'yung white dress na pinadala mo sa bahay?"

"'Yun na nga. Aattend ka ng wedding now." mas lalong kumunot ang noo ko. Magsasalita na sana ako nang sumigaw ulit siya."Jayson is getting married!!"
napaupo ako sa sofa at nanghihina ako. Tumulo ang luha ko.

"H-he's getting married?" sumigaw lang siya na Yes.

I thought when I came back.

May babalikan pa ako.

Pero wala na.

Napaiyak ako at niyakap naman ako ni Mama.

"Ma, he's getting m-married I though he will w-wait."

Love is going to break you.

Maayos na ang lahat, ang ganda ng paligid ang motif ng kasal lahat lahat wala akong masabi. Nakangiti ako ng mapait nang makita ko siya sa harapan, sobrang gwapo n'ya ngayon iiwas na sana ako nang makita n'ya ako.

Ngumiti siya ng malaki at kumaway naman ako. It hurts seeing you there waiting for another girl, waiting for your wife.

"The bride's coming!" Tinignan lahat ng tao ang pag bukas ng pinto. Bumukas ito at naglakad na ang magandang babae sa araw na ito. Tumulo ang luha because of that thought that-- i am not the one who walk forward to you it hurts seeing this scene, I hate seeing her wearing my wedding dress.

Si pinsan naman ay namangha sa bride who wouldn't be? It's her sister after all. Nang nasa altar na ang bride ay nakayuko lang.

It's April when he promise infront of all people, infront of all their love once and infront of God.

It's April when he change for his love.

It's April, when he broke me
again.

Dauntless April made me realize no matter how strong your relationship, no matter how long did you know each other it doesn't matter if he's going to unlove he will.

No one stays. No one.
It's April when I turn back on them.
It's April when i promised to myself I'm not going to cry again.

But, it's still april when i'm here still waiting.
