Up until now, I can still feel his touch, his kisses, his embrace. I can still remember how he smells and how his voice sends shivers down to my spine. I can remember everything about him. How I met him, how he comforts me, how he treats me the way I wanted to be.
Lahat ng pinangarap kong maranasan mula sa mga magulang ko, pinaramdam niya. Lahat ng hinahangad ko na pag-aalaga at pagmamahal binigay niya. It was like, he can actually read my mind. He is so perfect-
"Earth to Alessia Vivian Salazar! Are you even with me, Al?!" agad kong pinilig ang ulo ko dahil sa mga nagbabadyang luha sa mga mata ko, buti na lang tinawag ako ni Bella kung hindi baka naiyak na naman ako.
"Uhm, I-I uhm, I'm s-sorry. What is it again Bella?" Tanong ko sakanya. Did I space out again? Aish Alessia, put yourself together now, please.
"Are you freaking okay?!" She hissed. She is worried, I know she is, she's just pretending like she's pissed because of me spacing out
"Yes" mabilis kong sagot para kumalma na siya
"Oh good. Now, can you please listen" then she started talking again about her suitors and stuffs, I can't even catch up. And before I know it, I started spacing out again.
Where are you now, love? Where are your promises not to leave me? Where are your kisses? Where are your hugs and cuddles? Where are you? Please.
I tried to move my thoughts away bago pa makahalata si Bella na hindi na naman ako nakikinig sakanya.
"He is so gwapo, Al. Waaaaaah." Tili pa niya jusme, napatingin tuloy yung mga costumer dito sa coffee shop dahil sakanya.
"Yah, Bella! Nakatingin na yung mga tao sayo oh" saway ko sakanya
"Who cares tho" umirap lang siya at bumalik na sa pagkukwento niya.
After few more talking, naglakad lakad kami sa mall. I often do this with her since ito na lang ang way ko para malimutan lahat ng nararamdaman ko.
"Al" tawag niya
"Hmm" I answered not looking at her
"When are you planning to stop thinking about him?" She asked, and that question made me stopped. I did not expect her to ask me that because I know she's afraid to see me breakdown lalo na ngayon na nasa public place kami.
"I don't know" I answered her cassually and started walking again like it was nothing for me but deep inside, I can feel a sting in my heart and thoughts that starts to flow in my mind like a freaking river.
"You should, now. That would be the best for you" she looked into my eyes while saying that
Tumango na lang ako at hindi na lang sumagot kasi nanghihina na naman yung mga tuhod ko. Even just a simple talk about him makes me weak.
She's right. I have to move on- no scratch that, I have to forget. He is just a memory, there is no chance for us to be together in the future just like what I'm praying to.
Palabas na kami ng mall ni Bella nang biglang may tumawag sakin.
"Alvi"
