He was my moon in the darkest night. Maybe that is the reason why I’m still holding on tight. I can’t let go of my moon. I’m still holding on to my moon, to my Kale, even holding-on isn’t the best way for us to survive.
“I’m going home before 12, don’t worry…”I was talking to Yssa over the phone.
“Ingat ka, ha, Yve?!”binaba ko na iyong tawag at umorder pa ng Tequila.
I’m at the resto-bar around QC. The Last Club. I just want to unwind. Feelings are eating me up inside lately and I can’t escape the pain. I guess that I’m not good at running away. For me, running away is the best way to escape problems.
“And what are you doing here?”paglingon ko ay nakita ko si Paulo na umupo sa tabi ko.
“Ano ba sa tingin mo ang ginagawa dito? Nag-aaral?”binalik ko sa kanya ang tanong at inirapan siya.
I watched him laugh. “Are you drinking because of that guy?”
“Why do you care?”I answered.
“He’s not worth it, Yve.”and he’s still looking at me. “If he didn’t chase you after you walk away from him, just keep on walking... For sure that there's another guy that won’t give you a reason to walk away."
I reached for the glass of tequila. Tinignan ko muna ng masama si Paulo bago ko ito ininom. “Ang dami mong alam."
“Ikaw na mismo ang nagsabi sa akin na you were never born to suffer in love.”hindi ko naman akalain na natatandaan pa pala niya iyong sinabi ko noon.
“Nakamove-on ka na ba sa kanya?”I asked but I’m not looking at him.
“Kanino?”I guess that he’s ignoring Khallie. And I guess that he’s ignoring to be ask about that girl.
I looked at him. “Kay Khallie.”
He smiled. “I never loved anyone like how I love Khallie.”
“Are you drinking because of her?”I grinned, tinignan niya naman ako ng masama. Buo na ang araw ko dahil nakita ko na siyang naiinis at ako ang dahilan.
“I’m drinking because I’m in pain.”
“Are you in pain because of Khallie?”he just smirked and refused to answer my question.
“I guess that we’re both broken,”he answered while giving me a huge smile. “And we can’t fix each other.”
“I can fix myself… You can also fix yourself.”I smiled at him and took another drink. “You don’t need to depend on to other people if you can do it by yourself.”
“Ang dami mong alam.”he whispered and grabbed another glass of drink.
“I met him three years ago…”napatingin sa akin si Paulo dahil sa sinabi ko. “One and a half year naging kami ni Kale”
“Kaya pala hindi mo mabitawan...”ngumiti ako at tumango. Isa iyon ang sa madaming dahilan kung bakit hindi ko nga mabitawan si Kale.
“Bakit kayo naghiwalay?”ngumiti ako sa tinanong sa akin ni Paulo.
“Sinasaktan niya ako…”
“You’re being so dramatic”tinignan ko ng masama si Paulo dahil pinagtatawanan niya ako. Kung alam lang niya iyong totoo.
“At least hindi ako umiyak noong music fest.”I mimicked.
Ilang minuto ang lumipas bago ulit siya nagsalita.
“Ang sakit pala kapag nakikita mo sila na masaya, noh?”and he’s starting to open everything between him and Khallie.
I’m interested and in the same time curious. “Hindi ko kaya makita si Khallie na masaya kay Ady."
