7 : 11:11 wish

"Love.. " I said.
"What is it love?" he asked me. Tinuro ko ang orasan.

"It's 11:11.. Make a wish, Love."tumawa siya ng mahina. I don't know what's funny.

"I didn't know you still believe with that 11:11 wish, Love.." he said and he  caressed my hair while I'm on his lap.

"Of course I do. Malay mo matupad ang wish mo diba? So, what's your wish? Love?"

"Hmm. I want to be happy.." sagot niya. Umayos naman ako ng upo at dahan-dahan siyang hinarap.

"What about you, Love?" he asked me back. Ngumiti ako sa kanya para maitago lahat ng sakit at tinignan siya nang diretso sa mg mata.

"I want to make you happy.."

"L-love.."

"I want to make you happy so I'm letting you go now, Love.." And by that moment, I can no longer hold back my tears. Damn this tears.

Gumuhit ang pagkalito sa mukha niya. "B-but.. L-love.. Y-you're making me h-happy." sana nga. Sana nga yan ang katotohanan.

"No. I'm not. Everytime that I'm with you, you're always spacing out. Laging iba ang laman ng isip mo. Tuwing kasama mo ako nasa iba ang paningin mo. And..." I paused. Damn it, hindi ko na kayang magsalita pa. Gusto ko na lang na umiyak ng umiyak.

"... Habang minamahal kita.. A-alam kong iba na ang laman ng puso m-mo.."

"I-I'm so s-sorry, L-love.."

"No. You don't have to say sorry. Puso yan, eh. Hindi natuturuan ang puso kung kanino dapat magmahal at lalo nang hindi ito mapipigilan. I already knew it, Jake. I did. Matagal na. You've already fell out of love with me. And, now.." ngumiti ako ng mapait.

".. You're already inlove with someone else.." niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit sa kahuli-hulihang pagkakataon. At sa wakas, masasabi ko na sa kanya ang matagal ko nang gustong sabihin.

"I want to make you happy. So now, I'm letting you go. My Love.."I said and walked away.

Finally. I made him happy. Even it means letting him go. I'm willing to do it my man. Just for you.
