Thank God I Found You

FIFTEEN

A month after, Lea was used to that kind of set up. Tatawagin lang siya ni Rob kapag may kailangan siya. Tatawagin lang siya ni Rob kapag may iuutos.Medyo nasanay na din si Lea. But still, Lea is still hoping at least na sana maibalik 'yung dating sila. Na sana maibalik 'yung dati nilang pagsasama.

Today is her birthday. And, still wala pa ding update sa annulment nila. Everything was going smooth. They are like friends that are living on the same roof. Pero, ayaw na din umasa ni Lea. Because she knows Rob well. Kapag sinabe niya, ginagawa niya talaga. That is why she stopped herself from hoping na someday, magbabago 'yung isip niya na someday, papakinggan siya nito.

"R-rob?" She said politely dahil may ipapaalam niya dito. Rob knows that this is her birthday. Pero since pride ang kalaban niya dito, he didn't greet Lea for her birthday.

"Hm. Busy ako. 'Di ba, sabi ko sa'yo, huwag kang pupunta sa akin unless sobrang importante?" Inis na sabe niya dito dahil totoo namang may ginagawa siya. Pero, ayaw niya kasing makita si Lea that time kasi baka mamaya maisipan niyang makipagbalikan dito.

"So-sorry. *Napakamot sa ulo* M-magpapaalam sana ako. Medyo nawawalan na kasi tayo ng supplies. Grocery lang sana ako saglit t-tsaka, punta lang ako sa park." She said politely and kindly. Alam niyang hindi naman niya kailangang mag-paalam. Pero kasi baka if any case na may iuutos si Rob dito, at least Rob knows kung saan siya nag-punta.

"You don't have to tell me. Just go and leave." He said it coldly and Lea closed the door and she didn't bother to answer. Sino ba siya para mag-demand? Magiging ex naman na siya soon.

She changed her number, she decided to quit her job because ayaw niya maaalala lahat ng nangyari. Wala pang nakakaalam na ganito ang set up nila. Lea was strong enough to handle the pain all along.

So she decided to go to a grocery store and buy some stuff na ubos na sa bahay and also some food na kailangan niya sa bahay. And she forgot to asked Rob kung may kailangan pa siya so she texted Rob.

"Sorry kung naabala kita. Tatanong ko lang sana baka may kailangan ka pa? Or may gustong ipabili? Para sana isabay ko na dito." The text messages had been sent and suddenly tumunog ito and she opened the message quickly.

"Wala na." That's the reply from Rob and she put her phone to her pocket and Lea was used to it already kaya medyo hindi na siya nasasaktan. She's preparing herself sa magiging annulment nila ni Rob.

She went to the cashier to pay for all the stuff that she brought and decided to go to her favorite spot. Seaside.

She saw Manong na nagtitinda ng Balloon and she decided to buy one.

Bago paliparin ang balloon she left a note of it and said, "Sana, makaya ko ng hindi umiiyak sa gabi. Sana, makaya ko na situation namin. And sana, mabilis ang process ng annulment para hindi na siya nahihirapan. Please? All I want for him is to be happy. Kahit wala na sa akin. Basta po maging masaya siya. I love you always, Hon." Suddenly tears fell from her cheek and pinalipad na ang balloon.

She didn't know that Rob was standing right there. Far enough para makita at marinig niya si Lea and when he heard Lea's wish, napaiyak ito at nakonsensya and he prayed. "Sana, makaya ko ng makinig sa explanation niya."

END.
