"Wala talagang forever."

Art said after I talked about me and Presly's break up, AGAIN. We're here at Roseplace right now, niyaya ko silang mag-inoman. Broken tayo eh, so kailangan kong uminom kahit papaano mawala naman yun sa isipan ko.

My friends have no work for today so they agreed to come with me. Sila tatanggi ng inoman?Syempre hindi lalo na't libre ko. Nakailang shots na nga kami, kaya mukhang may tama na ako ngayon.

Lima lang kami dito ngayon, may trabaho kasi si Niko at sobrang busy non ngayon. Focus na siya sa business nila ngayon kasi siya na yung next na magiging CEO ng Company nila.

"Sino bang nagsabi na my forever?" Nakeisha said and arched her brow.

"Yang isang yan." Art said and pointed Maceo. Maceo drinked his whiskey first before he answered.

"Meron nga!If you stay in a relationship no matter what, when your relationship has a strong bond of trust for sure road to forever na kayo. Eh sa gago naman pala yang Presly mo edi boom!Wala kayong forever, ka lalaking tao wala tiwala sayo!" Maceo explained and shook his head. Napanganga naman kami nong tatlo.

"Insan ikaw ba talaga yan?" Max said and cupped Maceo's face. Isa din to may tama na.

"Get off me." Sabi ni Maceo at kinuha yung kamay ni Max sa mukha niya. Binalingan niya naman ako ng tingin, kaya tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.

"Gago akong kaibigan, pero ni isa sa inyo wala akong sinaktan. I let them hurt you guys, cuz I thought they gonna understand how much they mean to you and they will miss you but they're not. Sinaktan lang nila kayo ng paulit-ulit. Hindi na pwede sa akin yun. Oo nga Capri, sinaktan mo siya. But hurting you too wont heal his pain. If his hurt, edi magpapakalayo siya and forget about you. Huwag yung paasahin ka na may pag-asa pa yun naman pala isa siyang tanga." My jaw dropped and there's no words came out from my mouth.

Binaling niya din ang tingin kay Max na ngayon na nakanganga din. Ganun din sila Nakeisha at Art. We are all shock because of what he said. Mukhang hindi siya yung Maceo na kilala namin.

"Ikaw Max. How many times do I have to tell you?Tama na yung isang sakit na naranasan mo noon. Pero anong ginawa mo?Dinagdagan mo pa at ito ngayon nasasaktan ka, hinayaan mong saktan ka din niya. You are the one who said that you are not meant to be right? Yes, you guys are not meant to be kaya pwede ba tama na?" Maceo said in a cold voice.

Max blinked twice at hindi pa umabot ng ilang segundo tumulo na ang mga luha niya pero agad niya naman itong pinunasan. She's really a softhearted person. Maceo didn't mind her and looked at Art and Nakeisha na nakatitig lang sa kanya.

"Kayo Art, Nakesha. If you are feeling that they will hurt you for the second time, magpakalayo-layo na at huwag na maging marupok. Mapagod naman kayong masaktan please. There is forever but your relationship is not forever, it just mean not now. Hindi sila yung para sa inyo." He siad.
