"Lei?" Oh, si Joe.

"Yeah?" Nakita kong pumasok ito ng kwarto habang nag lalagay ako ng mascara.

"I heard you were going out..." Napatigil ako sa pag-aayos. Uhm... seryoso ba toh? Or nang titrip lang toh? At para bang narinig ako nito, "Hey, I'm not joking. I want to come with you... wherever you'll be going." He smiled.

He smiled. As in smile! Hindi smirk or grin, smile. As in smile talaga. Oh gosh shit. I got it bad. 

"Oh okay, sure. But it will be a whole day thing so... I'm warning you, kasama ko si Anna. It's a crazy business," Nag lagay na ako ng pabango. "I'm giving you an exit habang maaga pa..." Tinignan ko reaction nya sa three-way mirror ko, bakit di sya umaalis? Seryosong gusto nya talaga sumama?

"No, no..." Lumapit ito sa akin at hinug ako sa waist. "I really want to go out with you... well you know, " Ihinarap ako nito sa kanya. Thump thump. Thump thump. "Well, I've been neglecting you. You are my wife and I haven't been a good husband to you... so you know, maybe ito na yung chance ko na to make you happy. Make you feel like we are good together... kahit na," Binaba nito ang tingin nya sa sahig. Ano kaya problema nito? 

"Kahit na?"

"Kahit na di mo talaga ako gusto, kahit na alam kong divorce din ang ending natin sooner or later... Gusto kong maramdaman mo na naging masaya din tayo at some point in our relationship..."
 
Uhm woah, anong iniisip nito? Bat bigla kaya sya nagkaganyan...

"Anong nakain mo, Joe? Ah... hehe, okay ka lang ba?" Bumitiw ito bigla at kinuha ang bag ko sa table.

"Nah, I'm alright babe. Lika na? Antayin na lang natin sa baba si Anna, okay?" Parang lumungkot boses nito?

54 parts Complete

Engineering students Pfifer and Ivan know that what they have is something special. Without a proper label between them plus an ugly twist of fate, can they manage to be together in the end--or will they remain as each other's TOTGA and nothing more? *** May feelings na laging nandiyan, nakaabang kung kailan magpapapansin. Nakaabang kung kailan ako titisurin sa mga pamilyar na kanta, lugar, at salita. Magpapaalala sa isang mukha na hindi ko naman gano'n kakabisado pero pamilyar. Magpapaalala sa mga dating pakiramdam. Malalaman mo raw kung sino ang The One That Got Away mo kapag narinig mo 'yong salita at nakaalala ka ng iisang tao lang; nakatisod ka ng mga dating pakiramdam; nangulila ka sa mga nakaraang saya; nakaalala ka ng mga pamilyar na sakit. Sabi, time heals wounds at distance makes one forget. Bakit parang hindi naman effective? Bitbit ko pa rin lahat ng what if. Hindi pa rin ako makatakas sa maraming sana. Ako ba ang bumitiw o siya? Tapos na ba kami talaga? Ang sarap magtanong kaso...wala nga palang kami noon. Disclaimer: This story is written in Taglish.
