Third Person's POV

Pagkapasok na pagkapasok ni Kathryn ay tumahimik ang lahat. Ngumiti nalang siya. She felt uneasy as her eyes landed on Daniel. Hindi niya alam na invited ito. Lalo lang siyang nahiya.She bit her bottom lip and sat awkwardly, thinking of a good topic to end the awkwardness surrounding the room.

Everyone seemed to watch every move she makes. Parang ayaw na nga niyang gumalaw. Kahit huminga. She smiled awkwardly before deciding to break the ice. "Umm...... guys, may problema ba?" She can't stand it when all the attention is on her. Especially the attention of her ex.

Parang doon lang nagising ang lahat at agad nilang kinuyog si Kathryn sa isang mahigpit na yakap. Ngayon nalang nila ito ulit nakita, dahil kakauwi lang daw nito galing sa Canada. She lived there with her sisters for 4 years right after she graduated college.

Dapat talaga ay dito siya magtatrabaho, pero tinuloy nalang niya ang pagtrabaho sa Canada. Not because of the big salary, but because she wanted to move on. Bago pa man sila maka-graduate ay nakipag-break na siya kay Daniel. Inatake kasi siya ng katangahan noon.

But still, walang nangyari. After 4 years ay di pa siya nakakamove on kay Daniel. She turned crimson as memories flashbacked in her mind with the thought of Daniel. Everyone thought that they would end up together, but they didn't.

She glanced reluctantly at Daniel. He just gave her a warm genuine smile. 'Looks like he moved on. *sigh* Ako kaya, kelan?' She thought. She looked back at him and smiled politely.

"Namiss ka namin Kath. Babalik ka pa dun?" Bigla bigla namang tanong ni Seth. Napaisip siya. 'Wala namang rason para magstay ako ng matagal dito. Babalik nalang ako siguro.' "Ah- eh- Babalik din ako dun after a month or two. Sayang yung job eh. Malaki naman ang salary at madaming benefits. Tsaka, ano pa bang gagawin ko dito? Okay na yung vacation. I have no reason to stay here naman eh."

"Aalis ka na naman? Duyaaaa!" Pagmamaktol pa ng isa niyang kaibigang si Katsumi. Actually, they were Daniel's Friends. But they insisted to be friends with her. Sa lahat ng naging girlfriend ni Daniel ay siya lang ang pumasa sa mga ito.

'Aish. Daniel na naman. Tigil na Kath.' She mentally slapped herself. "Ano namang gagawin ko dito diba? Wala naman akong pagkakaabalahan. Saka andun na kasi yung buhay ko eh. Bibisitahin ko naman kayo paminsan minsan dito! Di naman ako nakakalimot!" She laughed.

Daniel felt his heart pained. 'Andun na yung buhay niya?' His heart pained more as he imagined Kath being with another guy. Naiisip pa lang niya ay lubos na siyang nasasaktan, paano pa kaya kung mangyari man iyon?

Hindi na niya pinakinggan ang pinaguusapan ng mga kaibigan at ex niya. 'Ouch. Ex.' Hanggang ngayon ay nasasaktan pa rin siya. 'Buti pa si Kathryn, nakakatawa. Kailan kaya ulit ako makakatawa?' Seeing her happy made his heart race at a constant speed, pero nang maalala niya ang naisip niya kanina,he couldn't help but feel sad.

A tear rolled down his cheek unexpectedly. He quickly wiped it, hoping no one saw. Pero nang pagtingin niya kay Kathryn ay nakatitig ito sa kanya.

"Uh guys.... Labas lang ako. Pahangin lang saglit." He excused himself. Why? Simply because he didn't know what to do. Obvious kay Kathryn na naka-move on na ito, pero bakit siya? Bakit siya hanggang ngayon, hindi pa?

Gustong gusto niyang magalit kay Kathryn. Pero ni kaunting galit ay hindi niya mabaon sa puso niya.His love and longing for her is topping it off. He can't get that off of him. It was a part of him. A part that no one could ever take away from him.
