“Zach will be married…soon.”

“Zach will be married…soon.”

“Zach will be married…soon.”

Paulit ulit kong naririnig. Parang sirang plaka na umuulit at inunukit sa puso ko. Nanikip ang dibdib ko lalo.

Kaya ba andali lang niya akong pakawalan kasi magpapakasal na siya sa iba? Na talagang hindi ako importante sakanya?

Bakit?

Hindi ko alam kung pano ako nakauwi sa amin na lutang. Parang naging blurred lahat ng nakikita at naririnig ko. Sobrang gulo ng isip ko. Sa awa ng Diyos ay ligtas akong nakauwi.

Nakasalubong ko si Cedrick pero di ko siya pinansin at deretsong nag lakad papuntang kwarto. Narinig ko pa ang pagtawag sakin ng kapatid ko. Nang maisara ko ang pinto ng kwarto ay dun kusang nag silaglagan ang mga luhang kanina ko pa pinipigilan.

Binaon ko ang mukha sa sa unan para hindi marinig nila mama ang pag iyak ko. Bakit sobrang dali? Wala pa ngang tatlong buwan ng mag kahiwalay kami.

Bakit ganun? Akala ko unti unti ko na siyang nakakalimutan pero hindi pa pala. Malayo pa pala. Sobrang layo pa kasi sobra akong nasasaktan ngayon. Yung lalaking una kong naging nobyo na mahal na mahal ko ay ikakasal na.

Hindi ako handa sa mga ganitong bagay. First time kong maranasan to. Para akong sinasakal at tinutusok ang dibdib ko ng mga karayom. Hindi ko maipaliwanag.

Dalawang salita lang. Sobrang sakit.

Gan'to ba yung sabinila na pag wala pa sa 3 months rule ang break up niyo at nagkajowa yung ex mo parang tinapakan ka at malala pa ay ramdam mo parin yung sakit ng naidulot nito. Mas masakit yung akin. Kasi yung ex ko hindi lang nagkajowa pero ikakasal na.

Yes, may closure namang naganap pero ang sakit parin kasi. First jowa ko yun tapos ganito pa.

Para akong naghihina sa pag iyak. Hindi ko alam kung paano tumigil. Sana bukas wala na to. Sana lang ganun kadaling makalimutan siya…

Sa tagal ko na yatang umiyak ay ramdam ko ng bumibigat ang talukap ng mata ko.

Hope sleep will help me put away the pain in my chest. Brush away this sorrow and emptiness. I just hope…it will end.

Then I realise to Call Him. Siya lang ang makakapag alis ng bigat na nararamdaman ko ngayon.

‘I entrust to you all Lord.’

Zach

2 am I arrived in Isabela.

I have a headache kaya hinilot ko ito. I don’t know if this is right thing to do. I have so many problems. I am tired as fuck.

I want a peace of mind. I badly needed it. I need to breathe again. And I need Kelly.

Hindi ko muna iisipin lahat ng mga bumabagabag sakin. If I think all of it, it will just ruin my mood and give me a bad headache.

I will not think of it for now. I’ll face it later.

I just need to do things one at a time. Despite I am having trouble about time. Still, I need to breathe. Masisiraan ako ng bait kung hindi pa ako gagalaw ngayon.

Choosing my family business over my Kelly will not gonna happen. I’ll find solution about this. I have to.

It is risky that I leave my company for a whole week. I entrust it to Greg for the mean time. I know he’ll be responsible for the task. Though, he is not happy about it but I’ll make it up to him when I return.

“Sir, Okay na po ang sasakyan” Dexter

Napatango lang ako at sumunod na sa kanya.

We’ll be heading to my mom’s house. She offer it over the phone. We are not close to her but I feel that she doing it as a mom and to make up with for the years that she abandoned us. I still don’t know how to approach her. It’s a new thing for me.

I accept her offer because my twin brother is staying at her house too.

Now, I will have to see that dick head brother.

I texted my mom that I already arrived and on our way to her house.

We parked outside my mom’s house. It’s a 2 story house and it’s a modern type. She has a wide backyard and what amazed me is that her house have a basketball court. It’s my first time here.

Remember when Gerald and I met I asked mom to come and pick him from the café. I haven’t seen her house back then.

The guard opened the gate. I walk in and I saw mom in front of their front door. It’s nostalgic how I felt something tug inside my chest. I have a memory of her way back when I was 12. She has this motherly vibe that I can’t resist. And honestly like it too. But that was changed when she had a new family and decide to abandon us.

Her face lit up when she saw me walking. A warm hug envelope me. I stuck there not knowing what to do.

I did not hug her back.

She let go and smiled at me warmly.

“Let’s go inside.” She softly said.

She guided us inside. As I look around I spotted a family picture hanging on the wall. Its huge picture frame. I smiled bitterly.

Parang pinamumukaha saking napakasaya ng family ni mom.

Her husband Daniel had his arm surround mom. In his side stand Gerald while in my mom’s lap Geraldine sat. Geraldine is my 4 year old baby sister. She got her looks from mom except her natural curly brown hair from her dad. I met her once and she’s very adorable. My heart melt instantly when I hold her.

My mom took us in a guest room. I roam my eyes and the room is nice and simple.

Binaba ni Derick ang suitcase and other documents that I need to work habang nandito ako.

Sinabihan kong mag stay na muna sa malamit na hotel si Derick. In case of emergency ay agad ko itong matatawagan.

Mom left to rest. It’s early in the morning and I am tired.

I lay down on the soft mattress. Instantly I drifted to sleep.

Hope tomorrow will be better day for me.
