After we graduated, wala na akong naging balita kay Graenielle. I accepted the fact that I can't have her. She's too deeply in love with my friend. Maybe in the right time, right place, they can be back on how they used to be. As for me? I don't know.



I am now a licensed engineer. I did everything to forget her. I didn't hear a thing about her. Masyadong iniiwasan sa grupo. But then Ally is sometime with us because of Ronnie. She's not talking about Grae, not even a single time. How are you, Grae? I feel so useless. I can't even hold the hand of the woman I love and help her whenever she needs one.  Fvck it's been a year, what the hell did she do to me? I can't even get up from where I am now. I fell hard, and still drowning with my simple memories with her.



"Easton, busy ka?" I put my phone in a loud speaker. I'm doing some of my deadlines for the big project I'm going to do. This is my biggest project so far.




"Yes, why?" I answered Gio's question.



"Sungit talaga. Si Jayce nag-aaya. May papakilala daw." Napahinto ako sa ginagawa ko nang marinig ko iyon. What the fvck?




"When and where?" Agad kong tanong. I need to know who's the girl. Did she just fall in love with another woman? Tangina paano? Kasi ako hanggang ngayon nakakulong pa rin kay Grae.




"Bilis magbago ng isip ni gago. Text ko address, next week 'yan. Clear your sched ngayon lang ulit tayo makakapagkita kita." After I heard that, ay hinayaan ko na siyang patayin ang tawag.




I focused myself on working on my current project, preparing for the next week. I need to clear my schedule just for a day. Gio already texted me the address. I checked Grae's instagram account, but it's still deactivated. Damn girl, how can I forget you if I keep on looking for you. She's already CPA. I knew she will be. She's so brave, I'm happy to know that she's now doing well with her life. Pakiramdam ko kung magpapakita ako, magugulo lang ulit siya. I'm so complicated.




A week have passed and I'm now heading at the place we were bound to meet tonight. It wasn't a long drive tho. I went out of my car and checked the whole place. Not bad huh? Dala kaya ni Ronnie si Ally? Damn, I hope not. She can't just tell Grae that someone is with Jayce tonight. Nang makapasok ako sa loob ng exclusive restaurant, ay nilapitan agad ako ng isang staff.




"Any reservation, Sir?" She asked. I just nodded and stated Ethan Jayce Trevon. And she walked me to a private room. Nang makapasok ako sa loob ay kumpleto na sila. Fvck Ally's here and she's looking intently at the girl beside Jayce.




"How's life? Daming project?" Tanong ni Jayce nang umupo ako sa tabi niya. Tinapik ko naman sila sa balikat at tumango ng tipid. Hindi ako natutuwa sa nakikita ko. He looks fine, but don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see him fine but not with a girl. How about Grae?




"Caleb, si Denise. Baby, Caleb." She looked at me and smiled. She looks innocent. Tangina mo Trevon, 'wag ko lang malalaman na gumagamit ka ng iba para makalimutan si Grae.





I stared at Ally, she seems so quiet today. Hindi naman siya usually ganito. Konting catch up lang naman ang nangyari. Jayce' new girl is too kind. I don't know but she seems so fragile. Naulit din ng ilang beses ang pagkikita kita namin despite of our schedules, and all I can see and say is, Jayce has finally moved on. So, how about me? When will I?




I'm still drowning, when will I ever find myself moving forward? I don't know but I want to pursue Grae, hindi pa naman siguro huli ang lahat 'di ba?




"C-caleb...."




I walked closer to her. Damn you, Trevon. If I only knew she will be this devastated after talking to you, I shouldn't have let her. She look so surprised seeing me in front of her. How can a lady be this gorgeous even when crying?
