"Im not gonna say sorry for kissing you," I told her as we stood under the moonlight. She smiled and looked away.
"Don't leave tonight," I said. Napatingin siya saken.
"Moe," she looked at her hands and then gaze at the stars. "I don't wanna hurt your feelings," she continued.
"I know. Julie, I know. Things changed. If only I can bring back the old happy days in our lives," she met my gaze. "I just missed you. So much," I sighed.
"Sana nga ganun lang kasimpleng kalimutan ang lahat, pero Moe kasi, hindi yun ganun kadali," she started.
"You're still my wife," I looked at her. Hoping she'd say something that could make my heart happier.
"Moe, you said it yourself. Things changed and are changing. And I don't wanna hurt your feelings but I have to say this. Sometimes things dont work out the way you want'em to be. Sometimes you have to let go. Sometimes you need to forget," she told me and my heart turned into pieces.
It echoed in my mind. Her words are too deep. I cant even analyze the rest of what she said. I stood there with my heart broken.
"Moe I need to go," I heard her say it.
"Umm?" I looked at her.
"Uwi na ako," she told me in whisper.
Uuwi siya?
"You dont have to leave. I will," I smiled at her - a sad one.
"This is your house, your home. This is yours," bigla siyang napatingin sa akin.
Looking confused, she asked, "Moe, anong ibig mong sabihin?"
"This is yours, Julie. This house was built originally for us pero nakapangalan sayo," I tried to smile again.
"I...." she's about to say something but i need to interrupt her. I know what she's gonna say next. Alam kong hindi niya tatanggapin toh.
"I need to leave," I told her. Without waiting her answer, I picked up my car keys and walked to the door.
"Pag may tanong ka about the house, just call Dev. She knows evrything about this house," I said and find my way out and closed the door gently.
I held my steering wheel, my key in the ignition and started the engine. It was hard to leave for the second time around but I need to. I need to let go. To let her go.
Paano na ako ngayon?
