Kahit Kunwari

"I'll help you find yourself again, and maybe in that time, you can learn to love again."

What the hell, Caleb patulugin mo ko parang awa mo na. He liked me even before, no not even like but he loved me. How the hell he kept that? He's impossible.

It's already 6am. Pero dilat na dilat pa rin ako. I should have drink more, para naman bagsak agad. Sa condo na ko nagpahatid. After what he said, it became too silent. Wala nang gusto pang magsalita pa sa amin.

"I'll see you again. If you need anything, or not, I'm one call away, okay?" Si Caleb bago ako pinaakyat.

Napabangon ako nang tumunog ang phone ko.
It's Ally. Agad kong sinagot iyon.

"Graenielle Kim Casciedo, ano 'tong nabalitaan ko na kasama mo si Caleb last night?!" Hanep, walang hello hello? Ang aga aga what the heck.

For sure Kyrsten told her. I just texted her when I got home so she wouldn't be worried. She actually flooded me with her texts asking what is going on. Hindi ko tuloy alam kung anong uunahin ko.

I can't just tell everything, and I don't even know why. I still don't know how to react with that. Naaalala ko bawat salitang binitawan ni Caleb. God! What the hell is wrong with me? This isn't what I am expecting. Come on, Ej already have his new, I should be crying right now, may Denise na yung tao.

"Hanggang sa hindi ko na namalayan, sa tuwing tinatawag niya kong baby, I no longer think of you." Fvck it still hurts!

"Almost 8 years, and it's still you." Damn Caleb, he won't just leave my mind.

"Grae! Are you still there?" I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Ally. Swerte ng isang 'to. After Ronnie knew she would be in States, sinundan talaga siya doon. Ronnie didn't want to be away from his fiance. Kakasana all ni Ally sa akin dati, masyado na tuloy masaya ang lovelife niya ngayon.

"God Ally! You're so loud. Yeah, I'm with Caleb last night. It just happened like that." Ako habang hinihilot ang ulo ko, I want to sleep.

"Let's talk later, please? Wala pa akong tulog. I badly need to rest." Segundo ko.

"Hindi ka pa natutulog?! Oh my God, Grae what did you two do?!" Sigaw na naman niya. Goodness, Ronnie please do something!

"C'mon babe, let her rest. You guys will talk later, hmm?" I heard Ronnie on the other line. Agad naman na tumahimik si Ally. Grabe, si Ronnie na lang yata talaga nakakapagpakalma sa kaibigan ko na 'to.

After the call, I decided to force myself to sleep. Good thing it worked. Nagising ako ng mga 11am. Agad akong bumangon dahil sa uhaw. Damn alcohol, wala namang naitulong. Agad akong kumuha sa fridge ko. Nakarinig ako ng doorbell. Wala akong ineexpect na bisita ah? Inilapag ko ang baso na hawak ko. I got out from the kitchen and opened my door.

"Good morning beautiful, did you have enough sleep?" Agad akong tumalikod. Mamaya may panis pa akong laway! What the hell is he doing here. Lord! Give me a break.

"Come on, Grae you're still the most beautiful in your morning face. Won't you let me in?" He playfully said.

I faced him with my raised brow. Ano siya baliw? Hindi ko siya papapasukin dito. Manigas siya d'yan. Ang receptionist sa baba! Papagalitan ko iyon!

He stood there waiting for me to let him in. He raised his brow so I opened the door wider. He roamed his eyes around. Nanlalaki ang mga mata ko na sinara ang pinto. Wow? Hindi pala papapasukin ah?
