One shot stories

Memories

I am here at the mall with him. "Love bili tayo ng ice cream.", he said and looked at me. "Sure", i answered and show my fake smile. He hold my hand and go to the ice cream bar. "Wait here okay. I get some ice cream for us.", he said and he give a grin. "Okay", i said and smile back but this time it is not a fake it is true now.

Pinagmamasdan ko siya habang naglalakad papuntang counter para umorder ng ice cream.

I can say that i am lucky to him... He is handsome, gentleman and sweet. He was almost perfect.

Nagawi ang aking tingin sa isang lalaki na nakatayo din sa counter. He's familiar... Nang humarap ang lalaki sa akin ay saka ko ito na nakilala.

Sinundan ko lamang siya ng tingin hanggang sa maka upo siya sa tapat ng isang babae. All the memories was flashbacked into my mind. I cannot deny that i still love him.

Nakatingin lang ako sa kanya habang tumatawa siya. I miss his smile. I miss his warm hugs and kisses. I miss everything to him. I miss him...

I was his world back then but now i think he already have his universe.

I smiled bitterly. Well it was only memories now...

Nagulat ako ng magtama ang aming mga mata. I was freeze like an ice. My heart keeps beating so fast. My hand was cold. I am nervous. Just like the first time i meet him...

Iniwas ko ang aking tingin at tumingin nalang sa papalapit na si Dave.

There's something on his eyes. When he stares at me, im melting. I cannot stay in this situation. I don't want this feeling. "Hey! Love are you alright?", Dave asked. "Of course yes...", i said and give a fake smile again. I am the greatest pretender of all. "Eat your ice cream before it melts.", he said again and eat his own ice cream. "Okay i will", i said and eat the ice cream.

"Why are you always staring at me?", sabi ko habang nakakunot noo. "Well i cannot stop staring my beautiful fiancee coz' im afraid to lose you. Im afraid that maybe someday you'll gonna leave me.", he said in a serious tone. "Don't worry i will never leave you. I promise.", i said. Tutuparin ko yang pangakong yan. Kase kapag nag promise ako sa isang bagay tutuparin at gagawin ko iyan no matter what. I have my one word. "Thank you", he said and a satisfied smiled form into his lips.

"Ahm would you mind if i'll take a quick wash into the washroom?", i asked. "Sure! Take your time.", he said and smile again. I smile to before heading to the washroom.

Im here already inside the washroom when the door open. There he is...

Tumalikod ako at nagtangkang pumasok sa pinakadulong cubicle for me to be not seen by him but it was too late. Before i get inside he hugged my back. Then suddenly i was froze. I cannot move.

Sinubukan kong kalasin ang kamay niyang nakapulupot sa akin ngunit bigo ako. I cannot remove it.

"Please don't go.Don't you ever leave me again. I cannot let you go again. Di nakita papakawalan pa ulit.", he said at mas lalo pang humigpit ang yakap niya sa akin. "Kyle let me go!", sabi ko at nagpupumiglas. Binitawan niya ako at iniharap sa kanya. I saw his eyes, full of sadness. "Bakit? Ayaw mo na ba sa akin? Di mo naba ako mahal? Kaya ba iniwan mo ako?", Kyle asked. "Kyle please ayuko nang bumalik pa sa nakaraan natin. Past is past! Never to discuss!", i said. "Sky sagutin mo ang tanong ko. Di mo na ba talaga ako mahal?", sabi niya at tinignan ako sa mata. Iniwas ko ang aking mata.

Paano ko naman sasabihing di ko siya mahal. My heart was always saying his name. I always love him no matter what but we cannot be together anymore... "Kyle in the first place i did'nt love you. I thought i can learn how to love you by having a relationship with you but i'm wrong, i don't love you and i am not loving you forever. Kaya layuan muna kami. Let us to be happy.", nadurog ang puso ko sa mga katagang lumabas mula sa bibig ko. I still love him but i need to stop it. I already have a fincee and he is also having a family. Meron na kaming kanya kanyang papel sa buhay na dapat gampanan. "No your not saying that. I know you. Napipilitan ka lang hindi ba? Nagsisinungaling ka lang.", sabi niya at hinawakan ang braso ko.

"Oo! Napipilitan lang akong sabihin yun lahat sayo! Coz' I still love you and I always did! I cannot learn to move on kahit nandiyan na si Dave sa buhay ko! Kyle I still love you but please stop this. We cannot be together again. We cannot bring back the time that we were still happy.", sabi ko.

"Oo alam ko. Di natin mababalik ang mga panahon pero pwede naman tayong magsimula muli. Pumunta tayo sa lugar kung saan tayo lang dalawa. Yung walang nakakakilala sa atin at walang nangugulo. Sky di ko mahal ang kapatid mo. Tulad mo nagpapanggap lang din ako't nahihirapan.", sabi niya.

"Pero hindi sulosyon ang pag alis natin para sa sarili nating kapakanan at kaligayahan. Kyle you call still love my twin. You can still learn to love her. We were not meant to be. We just only meet but were not destined. Ikakasal na ako at magiging ama kana. Let's face the world and be happy on what on ours now.", I said with a sad smile.

"No ayuko. Gusto kong makasama ka sa aking pagtanda. Diba yan yung promise nating dalawa sa isa't-isa?", he asked.

"Oo but not untill you make love to my twin.", i said in a sad voice. Heto na naman ako't bumabalik sa nakaraan.

"Isang pagkakamali yon. Di ko sinasadya ang nangyari. Lasing lamang ako nun at akala ko ikaw yun.", sabi niya.

"Kyle tama na. I need to go. Hinahanap na ako ni Dave.", sabi ko at binawi ang braso ko sa kanya at tumalikod ngunit nagsalita siya na nagpatigil sa akin.

"Kung lalabas ka sa Wash Room na ito ay mapapatunayan mong di mo na talaga ako mahal. I will set you free...", sabi niya. Ramdam ko ang pagtulo ng aking luha kasabay ng isang hakbang. Malapit na ako sa pinto para makalabas ngunit parang may kung ano na humihila sa akin pabalik sa kanya at yakapin siya ngunit nilabanan ko ito. Tanggap ko na. Na di kami para sa isa't-isa. Kaya kailangan kong gawin to para sa ikabubuti naming dalawa at sa lahat.

Nang sa wakas ay na abot ko na ang door knob. Pinihit ko ito at nilingon siya saglit at lumabas na. I saw him dumbfounded. Pinunasan ko ang luha ko at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad papunta sa kinaruruonan ni Dave.

Sometimes kailangan mo talagang i let go ang mga bagay-bagay lalo na't kailangan. Kung hindi talaga siya para sayo then let him/her go. Makakahanap ka rin balang-araw ng para sayo. :)
