Who Are You

Who Are You 13

A moment with you.

Pumayag ako sa sinabi ni clara. Pinigilan ako noong una si elise dahil baka mamaya ay saktan niya nanaman ako. Pero nakumbinsi ko rin siya na hindi na gagawin pa ulit 'yun ni clara.

Nasa cafeteria kami ni clara at pinagtitinginan kami. Paano ba naman si clara kasama ko. Kung sa lalake si adrian ang head turner, sa babae naman si clara. Swear.

Sumimsim nalang ako ng frappé pampakalma. Wala siyang in-order busog raw siya.

Pareho kaming nanahimik at nagpapakiramdaman. Sa totoo lang ang awkward namin ngayon dahil hindi naman kami close tapos magkasama kami sa iisang table..

"T-Tanggap ko na. I can't win him the moment he pushed me. I tried everything to get us back together like before but he he already gave up. I tried my best but I realized that he doesn't feel the same way anymore." She said downcast but I still see her tears falling.. Oh, god.

"I b-bet I deserve this dahil sa pag iwan ko sa kaniya." Aniya saka mahinang tumawa pero ramdam ko ang lungkot doon.

"I-I'm planning to go to U.S again for my parents business but this time it's for good. There's no reason for me to stay here..." She look at me with her tears continuously falling "H-He already give up. All I can see on his eyes was pity. Pity for me, for still holding what's done."

She shook her head and hold my hand. Her palm was cold.

I just looked away. I felt guiltless all over me, I can't stand other seeing other girl cry..

"I just wanna say s-sorry, for hurting you. I just couldn't accept the fact that he's seeing someone else now.." She sobbed. Oh god..

"But the moment I saw him with you, I felt jealous. His eyes were saying different when it comes to you. I envied you, kasi dapat ako 'yun eh." Napatakip siya ng mukha sa sobrang pag iyak.

I stood up and went near her, I give a hug and a tap on her back. Pinagtitinginan na kami dahil umiiyak siya, baka akala nila inaway ko.

"T-The way he treats you, it was different. I knew it was real because he used to be like that when he's still mine. I'm jealous when he treats you the same way like me before and too surprised that he's capable of loving someone again." She wiped her tears using her handkerchief.

"M-Masyado akong naging kampante. Akala ko ako lang ang kaya niyang pahalagahan at mahalin. B-But it turns out, I was wrong." She composed herself and stare straight to my eyes.

"Aya, I want him to be happy and we know only you can give that. P-Please take care of him. I love him so much and I decided to let him go.."

My jaw dropped. I can't even say a word but... I appreciate her.

"Huwag mo siyang sasaktan kundi sasabunutan talaga kita. Gusto ko kung bibisita ulit ako dito, invited ako sa kasal ninyo." She said then flashed her gorgeous smile.

Bihira lang siya ngumiti kaya kapag ngumiti siya alam mong totoo.

Pero ang oa ha, kasal agad.

Napaka-angelic face niya at kung lalake ako, baka ligawan ko agad 'to.Pwede rin naman, mag bi nalang ako. Char!

I smiled and nodded. "I will, don't worry."

She just nod and mouthed 'thank you.'

Ipinakita sa akin ni elise ang kamao niya.

"Mabuti naman kung ganun. Akala ko sasaktan ka nanaman eh. Mamasamain talaga sakin 'yun if ever!"
