Padabog akong kumakain mag-isa sa kusina. Iniisip ko pa rin ang napanaginipan ko. It feels so real pero kitang-kita ko ang likod ni Alex sa may beach, not so him.
I grabbed the glass of water and drank it when suddenly a scene flashed back.
"I liked you, Alex!"
Napaubo ako sa sobrang gulat.
"No! No! That was just a dream Hija, don't be so surprised. According to accordings, dreams are the exact opposite of reality!" I am calming myself at the moment because scenes keep on flashing back.
"Every time I call you ugly, that means you are the most beautiful woman in my eyes. When I said you're stupid, I was referring to myself
A moment of silence once again, but I was curious, so I asked him, "Transferee ka?"He seems confused. "No, I'm not. Hindi mo lang ako nakikita because I don't like people looking at me. I'm always covered with my shadow."sunod-sunod na sabi niya. Tatlong sunod-sunod na lunok ang ginawa niya.Aahh.. I see, hindi nga lahat ng dreams totoo."I was talking to my ex that time you throw me the vase."He feels hurt.Ganun ba? Did I really ruin everything?Pero tumatawa siya nung time na yun diba?"But you're laughing
Nagising ako sa tunog ng cellphone ko."Hello?"mahinang tanong ko."Alex! Nasaan ka ba? Ba't di ka pumasok? Alam mo bang may quiz tayo kanina? Anong excuse mo kay Mam Galvez? Alam mo namang terror yun!?"sunod sunod na tanong ni Miyah sa akin."Ngayon lang ako nagising,"wala sa mood na sagot ko."Ay! Ganon ba? Alos dos na ng hapon Alex, may sakit ka ba? Sorry–Ano bang pakiramdam mo?"nag aalalang tanong niya."Okay lang ako Miyah, konteng tulog lang 'to." Wala sa mood na sagot ko."Okay, papunta na ako,"&n
I was the one who let him go. I left him with no explanations, so it's right to act that he doesn't know me at all."Oh! Right Alex. He's from Cebu and I guess you went on the same high school."sabi ni Miyah habang nginunguya ang pagkain."Really?"pag-papanggap kong nagulat sa sinabi ni Miyah. I acted like I don't know him as well. I wanted to cry, but I know I should not ruin this day."Yeah, right baby?"she asked the man in my past."Yes babe." He smiles sweetly at Miyah.This is killing me."Please exc
Patrick's POVFinally, I can be with Miyah now. It gives me a lot of courage to go back to the Philippines. Miyah gave me that strength.Papunta na kami sa restaurant kung nasaan yung best friend niya at boyfriend nito."Alex, Ken! Sorry, we're late!"sabi ni Miyah. The girl in front of me looks familiar. Likod pa lang ang nakikita ko sa kanya pero kinakabahan na ako.Is it you?"Alex, Ken, this is Patrick, finally na meet niyo na rin siya!"tuwang-tuwang sabi ni Miyah habang hawak-hawak ang kamay ko.Siya nga!It took me years before I finally moved on. Miyah is my life now. She completes the missing pieces of me. But why it had to be her.Bakit kailangang si Alex pa ang bestfriend ni Miyah?"Babe, this is Alex, my best friend. And this is Ken, her boyfriend!"masayang sabi ni Miyah. She smiles at me an
Patrick's POVI was so frustrated. I can't handle myself, so I drown myself with alcohol. I drink until I get drunk. It was already 3 in the morning. I feel so helpless. My heart is aching. I sneak Tito's car para bumalik sa bahay nila Alex.Nagising ako sa sa isang puting kwarto.Patay na ba ako?But I have many apparatuses attached to my body. When I woke up, I saw Aunt Alice's face with a tear in her eyes.Where am I?Anong nangyayari?Anong nagyari?
"Nasaan pala si Ken? Sabi ni Miyah sasama siya?"tanong ni Alex sa akin.He is talking to me?"May biglaan silang meeting kaya hindi siya nakasama,"matamlay na sabi ko. Hindi ako makatingin ng deritso sa kanya dahil alam kong lalabas ang mga luha ko anytime.After that, he never asked me again. His attention is focused on Miyah.Ako dapat yan!We planned to rest muna tonight at tomorrow nalang mag-enjoy since matagal ang byahe namin. Miyah and Alex are watching TV habang nagkukurutan. I can still remember our last stay here..Flashback.
Patrick's POV"Why not we play Truth or Dare?"Jajas' suggested."Yeah! That's a nice idea!"Miyah agreed while sitting next to me."It should be great since hindi naman tayo nagse-share ng mga secrets natin diba?"excited na sabi ni Dian."Call!"sang-ayon din ni Mitch.Hindi ito magandang game. Ano kayang iniisip ni Alex? Is she ok?"Pwede tiga-spin lang ako ng bote?"palusot niya. I know ayaw niyang maungkat ang past.
Ang sakit ng break-up na walang closure.Hindi pa ako bumalik sa kwarto sa halip ay kumuha pa ako na beer sa ref at nagstay sa kusina. I couldn't put together the things that had happened since I came back to Philippines. I know partly she's one of the reasons I came back. And I know it seems so unfair to Miyah.Flashback"I wanted to see you!" Miyah's voice on the other line. Nag vi-video call kami. This is our first month as a couple pero mag wa-walong buwan na rin kaming magka-kilala sa tinder. Like I said, she's easy to be with and komportableng-komportable ako sa kanya."Actually, iyan ang surprise ko sayo. I'll be going back to the Philippines!"masaya kong sabi
