Sa Lady Golden's kami ngayong gabi. The restaurant is not crowded tonight and quite. Sa usual spot kami dumiretso at agad siyang nagtawag ng waiter.

"Do you want some steak?"nakatuon ang mga mata namin sa menu at nagawa niya pang magtanong.

"Anything would do..."tiniklop ko ang aking menu at ibinaba.

He stare at me for a moment before enumerating his order to the waiter who wrote it on a small notebook. I let them there and stood up to see the lights dramatically danced in my eyes once again.

Whatever might happen tonight I won't forget this place. The spot, the overlooking city lights beyond us, the moments that will surely be a memory and him. There's no assurance of tomorrow for everything. And this decision of cutting this is a part of it. In fact, there's no reason to cut it off cuz in the first place there was never an us. Tonight, I'll run through it smoothly. I'll cut everything but I'll let him understand.

My heart crumpled thinking about it. There ain't no reason to continue this kind of set up with him cuz it will only hurt me whenever I see something that he can't tell me. Hindi niya rin naman obligasyon na sabihin sa akin ang tungkol sa mga ginagawa niya.

Carlos' warm hug enveloped my back. He's lips are tracing my shoulder with small kisses. Napapikit ako. What his doing is giving me butterflies in my stomach.

"Do we have a problem?"after his kisses on my shoulder.

"Nothing..."namamaos kung sagot.

Where's your courage now, huh, Martina? I'll tell him smoothly. I'll do it my way. I can do this. Besides, this is for the both of us. It's for him. And it's not good for him to date two persons at the same time. So, I'll give way.

"Come on. You've been acting like that since I came home."he murmured.

Inipon ko ang hangin sa aking lalamunan bago nagsalita.

"We should stop this..."

He's hug behind me slowly loosened. Nag angat siya ng tingin at dinungaw ako. I pursed my lips. Pinaharap niya ako sa kanya at taimtim na tinitigan sa mga mata. His eyes miserably watched me that it made my heart sunk suddenly. The pain and regrets run through my system seeing his eyes in that kind of emotion. It shouldn't be.

Nangunot ang noo niya. "Stop what? We're good, Marti. Why stop this?"

I gulped. You can do it, Martina. You've been through a lot before. You can handle this very well.

"Maybe we could just lie low for the mean time. Stop having dinner together. Stop seeing each other cuz I'll be busy a-after the ground breaking..."

"Is that really the reason behind it?"putol niya. Yumukod siya palapit sa akin at kinulong ang aking magkabilang bewang ng kanyang kamay.

My god. Don't let me spill the fucking beans for God's sake!

"I...uhm..."hindi ko na tuloy alam kung ano ang sasabihin.

"Do you really meant that or you're just upset because I didn't tell you that I'm coming home..."

Aside from that, there's more.

"No! Hind ganon. Gusto ko lang mag fucos muna sa trabaho ko at mapag isa..."pumiyok ang aking boses sa huling sinabi.

I found his piercing eyes along with the pain. My heart got crumpled even more. Damn it! Can I really do it? No, I need to stand on my ground!

"Don't give me that kind of bullshit excuses, love."aniya

Pagod ko siyang tinitigan. I can't describe what kind of pain it is that stubbing me right now. Sakit ba ito ng kasiyahan o sakit ng kalungkutan.
