A short story by XxxRAZxxX

Ang pag-ibig ay parang nagsusugal. Pag sigurado kang mahal mo ang tao, ibibigay mo ang lahat. Ang problema dito ay di mo alam kung may maibabalik paba sayo o wala. Maswerte ang nakakakuha ng higit pa sa inaasahan, pero luhaan ang mga sumugal at natalo. Pero ganun paman, tulad ng sugal, kahit walang kasiguraduhan, marami paring umiibig, marami paring sumusugal. Dahil... Baka Sakali... Baka Sakali...

"What?!" I exasperatedly asked. "I said," she repeated. "Pwede kang tumira sa bahay ni kuya Alex." "Hindi ba pwedeng sa condo mo nalang ako titira?" "Hindi akin yun, sa fiancé ko yun." She replied. "Tsaka ayaw niyang may ibang tao dun." Ugh! really? Ba't ba kasi nasunog pa yung appartment na tinitirahan ko. Wala pa naman akong kamag-anak dito Manila. Lahat sila nasa Baguio. Wala pa naman akong pera. Apparently, I have to wait eleven days before I could even get my salary. And the worse thing is, I have to live with that stupid manwhore for for a few days. "Alam mo naman yung past namin nung kuya mo diba?" Yes, he's my ex, and I really really really hate him. He's a jerk and manwhore all in one. "I don't also think we're in good terms" "Ano kana, what happened in the past is in the past.Don't worry, papayag yun si kuya." "Ugh, wala na ba talagang iba?" umiling lang siya. I closed my eyes and let out a heavy sigh. "Fine, I'll live with him." This is gonna be the worse decision on my life. **** Mika's life was all smooth sailing. All was good, until her apartment burnt down. She doesn't want to make her family worry about her, so she decided that she'll just ask her friends a place to live on for a few days. Just a measly eleven days before her pay check will arrive. But when none of her friends can offer her a place to stay, she was forced to make a not so good decision. To live with her ex. Alex Arcilla. Would they be awkward to each other? Or would a broken relationship be mended?
