Obviously he had second thoughts. Halata naman, if wala na siya sa puso ni Huey he could've easily answered yes.
Masakit. Pero mas masakit kung sakanya ko pa mismo marinig.
"Uwi na tayo? Dami pa akong hahabuling activities.." mabilis akong nanguna pumasok sa kotse.
Di niya akong nagawang sundan agad. I watched him as he bowed down to look at his hands.
"I'd like to believe that things will still get better for us, Hue.." i whispered to myself.

HUEY'S POV
Palihim kong sinusulyapan sa gilid ng mata mo si Alara while driving.
It breaks my heart so much to see her like this. Nakagulo ng puso't isip ko.
Alam ko namang mahal ko si Alara eh. Sobra sobra pa higit sa inaakala ko.
But in the little corner of my heart? I can still feel Sandrine is there.
Gusto kong mainis sa sarili ko. Nakakasakit ako ng ibang tao, hindi manlang ako nagiisip.
Nakarating kami sa condo pero tahimik parin kaming dalawa. Ni isa hindi manlang nagsalita, ultimo buntong hininga ay di nagkakarinigan.
We still have left over food. I watched her reheat it in the microwave, set the table, nagkuskos ng nagkuskos ng di ko malamang dahilan sa lababo. It's she's just trying ko keep her self busy to avoid me.
Pati sa pagkain di kami nagtitinginan. It's as if the other one is not existing.
Sinadya niyang iluklok ang sarili sa study table sa may sala dahil alam niyang papasok na ako sa kwarto.
Halatang binabagalan ang pagsusulat o anomang kilos na gagawin niya. Nag scroll scroll pa siya sa ipad niya pero halatang pabalik balik lang naman siya sa notes niya dun.
Naisipan ko nalang pumasok sa kwarto. Mas masstress lang siya kung alam niyang inaantay ko siyang matapos.
Nakahiga akong nagaabang lang sa pagpasok niya. Minuto minuto kong sinusulyapan ang wall clock sa harap hanggang sa nakatulugan ko nalang sa tagal.

Naalimpungatan ako bigla. Paglingon ko wala parin si Alara sa tabi ko. It's already 6am..
Paglabas ko ng kwarto, she was sleeping on the couch at mukha sikip na sikip pa siya dito because of her position.
I slowly carried her para ilipat sa kwarto. I hope she doesn't wake up.
But she must be really tired, ni hindi manlang ata niya naramdaman na binubuhat ko siya.
ALARA'S POV
Madali akong magising, I know someone is standing infront of me and I bet it's Huey.
Pinilit kong hindi dumilat when he slowly lifted me from the couch.
I pretended to be asleep.
Tila naging mabagal ang paglilipat niya sa akin. I can feel his warm body which I had been longing to feel these past few days.
Sanay kase akong niyayakap ni Huey lagi. Kahit araw araw kami nagkikita and we both live in the same roof, ganun siya ka clingy. He always hugs and tells me he misses me kahit ang katotohanan ilang minuto palang naman ako nawala sa paningin niya.
To be honest, gusto ko ang pagbagal ng sandaling eto. Gusto ko siyang yakapin nalang ngayon at just be okay. I want to be okay. I want us to be okay.
Kunwari akong gumalaw nung malapag niya ako sa kama. I felt his face went closer to mine because I felt his warm breath on my cheek.
"I love you.. so much, Love." Madamdamin niyang bulong. "I miss you.." inihawi niya ang hibla ng buhok na naka takip sa mukha ko. "I want to hug you right now.. I don't want us to be like this.. I just want us to be okay again." I felt his thumb brush on my cheek.
Same, love. Same.
Sana ganun kadali makalimutan ang lahat ng yun dahil ang totoo, di ko naman talaga kayang magtiis ng ganito.
I have never felt this kind of love before and this is something I don't wanna lose.
Ayokong matalo nanaman ng mundong to. Ayokong muli magpatalo sa mundong to. I want to beat this crappy world and tell it "in your face" when I get my happy ending.
I don't want this to be something that will just pass me by. I want this to stay. I want Huey to stay, forever.
Maharan niyang kinuha ang kamay ko at inilagay sa pisngi niya.
Alam kong tinititigan niya ako ngayon.
Baby, now that I've found you I won't let you go I built my world around you I need you so Baby, even though you don't need me now
Suddenly he sang, gustuhin ko mang magulat ayokong patigilin siya sa ginagawa niya.
Madamdamin niya etong kinanta pero natid ang lungkot sa tono neto.
Baby, baby, when first we met I knew in this heart of mine That you were someone I couldn't forget I seen right and abide my time
Mabagal at pabulong niya etong kinakanta.
Spent my life looking for that somebody To make me feel like new Now you tell me that you want to leave me But, darling, I just can't let you
Paulit ulit niyang hinalikan ang kamay ko.
Fuck this. Di ko kaya!
Dumilat ako bigla at halos mapaatras siya ng upo.
"Sorry.. did I wake you up?"
Ewan ko. Bahala na.
In a swift move, I found my self hugging him. So tight..
