Chapter 8
Kim: kamusta ka na ?
Xian: eto ok lng :) I am leaving a few days from now! ikaw ?
Kim: ok lng dn :) mag-iingat ka dun!
Xian: Kim napatawad mo na ba ko ?
matagal bago sumagot c Kim...
Kim: matagal na dn ung nangyare, nakalimutan ko na dn un! so yes napatawad na kita :)
Xian: thank you :) ansaya saya ko ngaun alam ko na! napatawad mo na ako! thank you so much!
(d napigilan ni Xian at nayakap nia c Kim)
Kim: Xian napatawad plng kta ndi ibig sbhn nun na tau na ult.
Xian: ano bang gusto mong gawin ko pra mahalin mo ko ult ?
Kim: Xian naririnig mo ba yang cnasabi mo ? aalis ka na bukas tas ganian pa ung cnasabi mo.
Xian held her right hand
Xian: Kim just ask me not to go, i will stay!
Kim: ndi, Xian you have to do this, an opportunity you shouldn't miss!
Xian: kung kapalit naman nito ay ung tuluyang kang mawala skn, kahit uag na!
Kim: Xian do this for me! gawin mo ito para sa pamilya mo! kailanman hindi kita pipigilan sa bagay na tulad nito, hayaan natin na ang pagkakataon ang magdesisyon. After 5 years kung tayo talaga, tayo talaga! mahabang panahon yun, marami kang makikilala doon, at ayokong dahil nakatali ka sa akin, hindi k n makikipagkilala sa iba.
Xian: Kim....
Kim: Xian cgna uag mo akong alalahanin, kaya ko ang sarili ko.
Xian: pero Kim...
Kim: uag na nating pahirapan ang isa' t isa, magiging maayos din ang lahat.
Kim couldn't hide her tears anymore. When Xian hugged her for the last time, she cried harder. "I will always love you Kim. I will always pray that you find happiness in whatever you do." then he left.
Xian left to study in US. He would send email to Kim but she wouldn't reply to any. She changed his mobile number Kim hasn't heard from him since the last time they talked.
Mateo would update her about Kim most of the time.
Xian: kamusta na siya?
Mateo: ok nmn! aun masyadong masipag mag-aral dun nia binubuhos lahat ng time nia! ikaw kamusta ?
Xian: i'm ok! nakakausap ko naman c Mommy sa phone kaya okay naman.
Mateo: eh bakit bigla kang nalungkot ? meii iba ka pa bang gusto makausap bukod sa amin ?
Xian: dude alam mo nmn kung sino db!
Mateo: hay pag-ibig nga naman.
Xian: meii dinidate na bang iba?
Mateo: parang wala naman, busy talaga sia sa study nia, matakot ka na kapag nakita nmin siyang meii ibang kasamang lalaki!
Xian: alam kong wala na akong karapatan, pero alam mong hindi ko kakayanin.
Mateo: dude wag mo sana itong mamasamain, pero kung ayaw mo palang mawala siya sa'yo bakit ka umalis?
Xian: if only she asked me not to leave, hindi sana ako umalis.
Mateo: but you should have your own decision, you based your decision to Kim! Of course she won't ask you that! but did you ask yourself not to,for Kim? Xian, magdadalawang taon ka na dyan and I am not imposing something. I just wanted you to realize something. Mahal ko kayong dalawa ni Kim, gusto kong maging kayo pa rin sa huli. Pero gusto ko din ipakita sa'yo ang realidad ng naging desisyon mo.
Xian sighed.
Mateo: Xian the possibility of Kim, having his new guy will come soon, for sure! gusto ko lang, you get yourself ready for it! napakasakit, alam ko! pero kasi Xian, pumili ka e!
Xian: yeah i know pumili ako, pero alam nio nmn kung gaano ko sia kamahal eh!
Mateo: dude gtg! balitaan nlng kta ult.
Xian: cge! bye!
Mateo: bye
After the call, Xian lazily laid down on his bed and thought of what Mateo said. "What if he did stay?"
Despite the sadness he's feeling, he went on. He studied hard for whom? For himself! of course for his family as well, and he would want to dedicate this hard study to Kim, but what now? he already lost her!
after 5 years....
Few more days and Xian will be flying back to the Philippines. Mateo has been his trusted friend since her highschool days, he's also been a witness to Kim and Xian's love story. Xian told to him almost everything about him and Kim. Since he left the Philippines, Mateo has been the reporter--the one that would tell him updates on Kim's career and love life. Mateo has also been close to Kim, he knew her new number and would sometimes chat with her, but never did she talked to Mateo about Xian. Whatever he can share to Kim, he shares it to Xian on the phone.
pauwi na c Xian sa pilipinas cnundo sia ni Mateo dahil tinulungan ng barkada ang nanay ni Xian pra magluto except Kim.
-----------------------------------
Mateo: cno ang gusto mong sumundo?
Xian laughed.
Xian: dude stop it! alam mo kung sino! tigilan mo nga ako, alam ko naman na impocble yun.
Mateo: dude everything's possible, wag kang nega!
Xian: eh di ba nga may kadate na ata ?
Mateo: palagi niang kasama c Enrique eh! nung nagkayayaan na lumabas ang barkada dahil matagal tagal n dn kming ndi lumalabas! ksama nia nun c Enrique! but it doesn't mean na sila na di ba ?
Xian: bkt dau ksama nia un ?
Mateo: pra dau ndi sia ma OP, kaklase nia ata c Enrique sa isa niang subject eh.
Xian: nanliligaw ba sia ?
Mateo: ewan ko! naku naku naku! tigilan na nga natin to tgnan nlng ntn kung makakaya mo pag ikaw mismo ang nakakitang may kasamang iba c Kim.
Xian: let's not deal with that yet, ayoko munang isipin yan.
Mateo: but be ready dude, it would be a lot harder than you think! kilala kita, kilala ko kayo ni Kim.
Xian: dude naman, wag mo munang pasikipin ang dibdib ko, uuwi na nga lang ako, masama pa ang loob.
Mateo: ndi ko intensiyon yun, mas masasaktan ka kasi kapag hindi ka handa.
Xian: ewan ko ba, sa tingin mo ba ganun lang kadali yun? sa buong limang taon na nasa US ako, hindi ako lumabas with other girls, hindi dahil sa ayaw ko lang, kundi dahil ayokong pag nalaman ni Kim, masasaktan ko na naman siya. sobra sobra na yung sakit na dinulot nung nagbreak kmi, ayoko nang dagdagan pa.
Mateo laughed.
Mateo: talagang iniisip mong masasaktan siya ha? ndi ka pa nga nakaka-move on and I'm afraid you'll never be.
Xian: you have been a witness of my love to her, hindi basta basta na lang maitatapon yun, umalis lang naman ako pra mag-aral dun, hindi para iwanan o kalimutan siya.
Mateo: hey! are you planning to go back again after your vacation here?
Xian: kung may dahilan para magstay na ako dyan sa Pinas, bakit pa ako babalik?
Mateo knew what Xian is talking about. Xian told Mateo that the only reason that would make him stay is for Kim to ask her to be his girlfriend again. And Xian's afraid, that would be an impossible thing now, since Kim is dating even though she's not already in a relationship.
