When he was my first.

Prologue

-When he was my first .

"Oh noh! Miss I'm sorry!"

The unfamilliar guy in my front said in a panick voice while picking the papers I had.

New face.

Wearing a white coat, the same what I have, having black shirt and a white usual bottom for a doctor.

Weird, he wears a black one.

I was walking while holding the ER files while this -Not so familliar guy suddenly appeared in front of me and unfortunately nabangga niya ako.

Geez.

I suddenly stopped when he already stand up and it looks like—

"I'm really sorry! Dr? " he sudden asked habang tinitingnan ang name plate na sa coat ko.

"Dr. Zaiya Santella" sabay naming banggit sa pangalan ko.

Cringe.

Halata sa mata niya ang pagkakagulat. Halatang hindi niya ine expect na may mababangga siya and worst, ako pa.

"And you are?"

At Napatigil ako sa sarili kong tanong...
Reality slaps me so hard.

Shit.

It felt like my heart stop beating for a moment.

Bakit ngayon pa?

Silly destiny.

Dr. Xavier Elizano, Pathology Department.

Buhay ka pa pala Elizano?

"Dr. Xavier Elizano, Pathology Department. By the way here's the ER papers. I didn't notice na may mababangga na pala ako. I didn't also expect to see you here. Sorry again Dr. Zaiya"  he said with a matching emphasizing of my name while handling the papers smilingly.

Wow.

Never did I expect that after 10 years our paths will still crossed again.

Same Profession.
Same Hospital.

The fate played us well.

It's been 10 years, bakit ngayon pa?

"Thanks." I smiled fakely as if like parang hindi ko siya kilala. I need to act normal, he might think na affected pa din ako!

Gosh.

I was going leave when I suddenly felt a hand landed on my left shoulder.

"Wait Aiya..."

After hearing that name, It did give me shivers down to my spine.

Why now?

I immediately remove his hand on my shoulder. And don't know but it feels like a little bit of uncomfortable for me.

I stood up straight and look at him seriously.

"What? Please don't call me Aiya. Nasa hospital tayo. Use your manners Dr. Elizano. And I am not Aiya" I said while adding a little diction in my old name.

"Sorry Dr. Santella..I just wanna ask, Hindi mo ba ako nakikilala?. ."

Really?
After all that what did happened you still have the guts to ask me?

Bullshit.

You were not there.
You never did know and saw what I've been through after what you did.

"Pardon Me? I don't know what you are talking about. To tell you frankly kanina pa ko naweweirduhan sayo. I'm sorry but hindi talaga kita kilala. I think this is the very first time na nakita kita.."

I lied..

I need to lie.

All of what I said were lies.

I'm sorry but not sorry Xavier.

Between the two of us, you're the one who should be sorry and not me.

"Really? How come?? To tell you honestly, We used to be friends before.." he said as if like he would make me believe.

Talaga ba? Friends lang?
Hindi ka pa din nagbabago Elizano, still a liar.

"Alam mo, bago moko tanungin kung kilala ba talaga kita, tanungin mo muna sarili mo kung kilala mo ba talaga ako.."

"Subukan mong magtanong muna sa mga tao sa paligid mo baka sakaling may makuha kang sagot" pahabol ko pa and then I immediately leave knowing that I can't stand talking to him anymore.

Kasabay ng mga tanong utak ko, ay ang kaba sa dibdib ko habang kausap siya.

Andami dami kong gustong itanong sa kanya. Ang dami ko pa ring 'bakit' eh.

Pero kasabay din niyan ang takot ko sa mga sagot na hinahangad ko.

Na baka mas lalo ko pang ikadurog kung ano man ang mga maaaring malaman ko.

Pero kailangan ko maging malakas at matatag.

Kailangan ko pang malaman ang lahat. Lahat lahat..

Ano pa kaya ang mga kasinungalingan mo saken Elizano?

Ano pa kaya ang malalaman ko?

Xavier Lauvin Elizano..
That fvcking dumbass!

He wasn't my ex
But
He was my first love
And yet
Also my first heart break.

Ang gaga ko kase noon!
