Agad na nagtangis ang bagang nito nang marinig ang aking sinabi.

I stood up getting ready to leave when he also stood up to face me.

"That's the reason why I brought you here, for us to talk." He grabbed my wrist but I held it and made it loose

Tinignan ko siya nang puno nang sakit ngunit ganoon na lamang ang gulat ko nang makitang mas nasasaktan ang mga mata niya.

I grinned bitterly "Anong karapatan mong masaktan kung gayong ikaw itong nang-iwan?" Mapakla akong tumawa sa aking sinabi

"Seila, you don't fucking know the other side of the fucking coin yet..." His voice was pleading

Tears were already brimming from his eyes and so is mine.

We are both in pain but in different causes.

He knows mine while I don't know his.

Sunod-sunod na bumagsak ang luha mula sa mga mata ko "Because, you never fucking explained the reasons! I asked you for the other side of the coin but never gave it to me!" Dinuro ko ang kanyan g dibdib habang sinasabi sa kanya ang lahat ng hinanakit ko

"Well, now I can give it to you slowly." He pursed his lips

"Coelth... Why only now?" I asked him tears are falling to my cheeks but he remained silent and turned his back against me.

"Bakit ngayon pang buo na uli ako?" I fell down on my knees completely devastated

He never spoke a word. "Why?" I breathed heavily

"Bakit ngayon pang kaya ko na?"  Tanong kong muli rito

"Why show up only now?" I saw him glance over his shoulder to look at me

"Why now, that I'm happy?" Hindi na ito nakapagpigil at humarap na sa akin

"If you're happy at sa tingin mo kaya mo na bakit ka umiiyak ngayonsa harap ko?" He spoke his voice was cold as ice but angry as hell.

Hindi ako makatingin sa kanya kaya nagbaba na lamang ako ng tingin.

"Why give me that one reason I asked for long ago only now?" Humihikbi kong tanong ngunit nasa sahig pa rin ang paningin

Sinilip ko ang istilo nito at nakitang nakatiim na ang bagang nito at halo-halong emosyon ang nakikita ko sa mga mata nito. Umupo ito upang kami ay magpantay saka hinawakan ang aking baba at iniharap sa kanya

"Dahil hindi lang iisa ang rason kung bakit kita iniwan." Bagaman seryoso ay malamlam ang mga mata nitong sabi sa akin.

"At malalaman mo lang ang lahat ng iyon kung..." he trailed off.

I looked up at him wiping my tears "Kung?" I sounded hopeful

"Kung papayag kang ulitin natin uli ang offer." He said with uncertainty

Inalis ko ang kamay niya sa aking baba at hindi makapaniwalang tumitig sa mga mata "Seryoso ka ba? Kase nung huling pumayag ako na-scam ako."

"Alam mo? I badly want to forget you..." I said slowly tears are still flowing my heart throbbing hard like it will explode any minute

"Forget and I'll remember..." He whispered in the air "Kahit kalimutan mo ako ay ayos lang kung doon ka sasaya pero ako ay paulit-ulit ko iyong aalalahanin dahil doon ako minsang sumaya at patuloy na sumasaya."

Bumuntohhininga ito nang malalim at saka nag-iwas ng tingin sa akin

"Coelth..." Nahihirapan kong tawag sa kanya "Sa bawat pagsikat ng araw pinipilit kong ayusin ang sarili ko pero sa bawat paglubog noon ikaw pa rin ang hinahanap nito..." Nilagay ko sa ang kamay ko sa parte ng dibdib ko kung nasaan ang puso.

Nag-iwas ito ng tingin at bumuntonghinga. Halatang pinipigilan ang pag buhos ng kanyang luha ngunit hindi ito nagtagumpay agad niyang pinunasan iyon at agad na hinarap ako.

"Please let me make you understand..." He was already pleading and I can't stand the sight of him hurting. A tear fell and unconsciously I wiped it away

He gave me a small smile when he saw what I did.

"One month." I gave into him. He seemed a bit shocked "Take it or leave it. Start on the day of my break and end by the last day of the month." I added looking away and scratching my nose. This guy knows nothing how much I love and yearned for him.

The book wouldn't close if I won't here his side of the story.

He eagerly nodded. "One month." He wiped my tears away slightly smiling

He hugged me and buried my face onto his chest apologizing repeatedly and kissing the top of my head.
