Please, Bear with Me

Then

When early afternoon came, after our classes I immediately decided to visit my locker as the means of returning my things but when I was about to set my foot on the landing are of second floor I stopped walking then hide my body on the staircase. I could hear Damon’ s silvery voice echoed throughout the place.

I, myself, hastily stood up then decided to return upstairs para hindi ko makasalubong si Damon. Looking at it now, may iba na siguro siyang nililigawan kaya minsan nalang kami magkikita sa corridor. I mean, ngayon ko lang siya nakita muli after the accident that I did to him yesterday.

Nakahinga ako ng maluwag nang nakarating ako sa kabilang hagdan kaso malayo pa ito sa main building dahil kinailangan ko pang dumaan sa Maritime Department para tuluyang makababa ng. Akmang bababa sana ako nang biglang may bumuhos na malamig na tubig mula sa itaas kaya nabasa ang uniform ko. I ws stunned for a moment but I instantly composed myself at tumungo ako sa C.R.

“Oh! The playgirl of the campus has been played by a bitch princess . . .” A honeyed voice suddenly sprang my attention and so I deliberately look behind me. And there, my world becomes dark. I see nothing but Damon’ s disappointed face, staring at me sternly while holding Ayesa’ s hand.

When I saw how he hold her hand very tightly had made my heart also gone tight. My throat got stuck up and I can’ t breath properly. I immediately averted my eyes away from them, finally opening the door then closed it again as a means of escaping the reality for a moment. Tears began to fall from my eyes one by one.

Nasasaktan ako. Ganito pala ang feeling kapag may nagustuhan ka tapos may iba na siyang gusto at hindi na ikaw. Nagpatuloy lang ako sa paghagulhol hanggang sa ‘di ko namalayang nakaidlip na ako.

Kung sakaling magising man ako, sana’ y bumalik ulit ang lahat bago ko nakilala si Damon.
