ROME
She was about to go out when I held her hand. Pinigilan ko siya.
"Umuulan, ihahatid na kita."
"Huwag na mag tataxi na lang ako or tatawag na lang ako ng Uber."
"Hindi na. Ihahatid na lang kita. Baka may mangyari pa sa iyo pagalitan pa ako ng mga magulang mo."
Hindi siya umimik. Umiiyak siya pero hindi ko pinapansin yung pag iyak niya. Dinudurog ang puso ko. Putangina.
We got in the car. Hindi ako makapagpatakbo ng mabilis kasi madulas ang daan. It felt like driving to my funeral. It was killing me softly. We did not talk on the way to her house. Pagdating namin, she turned to me and kissed me. Nagulat ako. She hugged me, telling me she loves me. I sat there motionless. Hindi ako umimik. Hindi ako nagtanong kung sino. Hindi ko siya pinigilan. When she got off the car, I left their place kasi parang sasabog ang dibdib ko. When I was almost near the camp, I parked sa harap ng McDonald's at umiyak. Hagulgol ang ginawa ko. Pinagsusuntok ko ang steering wheel ko. Sumigaw ako sa loob ng sasakyan as loud as the thunder. I shouted my pain. I could not contain what I fell anymore in heart. Isinubsob ko ang mukha ko sa steering wheel and cried with the rain.
I am so glad at may dark glasses. Kung hindi baka kinantiyawan na ako ng mga tao sa kampo pagdating ko. Salamat naman at walang tao sa quarters when I arrived. Uwi na lang muna ako since wala naman akong turo bukas at Saturday. They might not understand why Captain Katipunan is swollen eyed. At least sa bahay pwede kong sabihin nag a allergy ako. Hindi na ako kumain pag dating sa bahay. Sanay na silang ganun ang ginagawa ko pag umuuwi ako.
JULY
I had no choice but tell him. He did not even hugged me when I hugged him. He did not even show any emotion when I was already telling him that I was getting married. He just sat there. He did not even look at me. I thought when he grabbed my hand sa quarters niya, he will talk me out of getting married. Pero hindi niya ginawa. As a matter of fact sarcastic pa ang sagot niya sa akin. When I saw what he did, I already knew, he does not love me anymore. I had to go.
