Once In A Lifetime (Life Struggle Series #1) COMPLETED

Chapter 05

Do cheaters deserve a second chance? No. If they already cheated before, they would probably do that again. Don't be stupid. If you let that person enter your heart again, you're letting your fragile heart be hurt in a million times.

We are not in a fiction world that if the lead character did something wrong, they will regret and change for the person they love. We're living in a reality where people misunderstood the phrase, "if you love me, you should accept me." It should not be like that. If you love someone you should be the one who's correcting them. You shouldn't tolerate their wrong doings because those traits will lead them to tragedy.

"M-minahal ko s-siya..." Lady carefully rubbed her palms at Justin's back.

He didn't went to school for two days that's why we got confused and worried. Pinuntahan namin si Justin sa bahay nila just to found out that Oroy and him have broken up.

"Makakahanap ka pa ng iba."

"A-ang sakit. Sobrang m-minahal ko s'ya." Humagulgol ulit ito. Napailing na lang ako sa nangyayari ngayon.

I believe in love. I believe that love does exist. But I don't believe in love at this age. Fifteen? It's not love. It's only infatuation. Kung hindi man ay baka libog lang iyan. Sa lagay ni Justin ay baka nahumaling lang Ito sa kahulugan ng pagmamahal. It's his first time dating a guy.

"Masakit?" Justin nodded like a kid, "Paanong sakit?"

"Gaga ka talaga, Jassy. Nageemote 'tong kaibigan natin, eh," Lady scolded me. I rolled my eyes. Halata namang pinipigilan n'yang matawa sa sinabi ko.

"Do you know what's more painful? It's when you got cheated tapos ang nangloko pa sa'yo ay iyong ingrown na mukhang tao... Ay tao na mukhang ingrown pala."

They all laughed in unison. Justin threw the tissue paper he used.

"You're such a body shamer."

"We all are," I corrected him. Sige nga, Ipakilala n'yo ako sa taong never pang ng judge sa physical appearance ng isang tao. Filipinos are the worst body shamers.

"At least hindi bumabase si Justin sa itsura."

"What do you mean about that?"

I laughed out loud when I realized what Lady meant. Tangina. Ang slow ko roon, ah. I also didn't expect that Justin's standard is below the ground. Akala ko pa naman mapili ang isang 'to.

Justin invited us to come over to their house to have some drinks. I said yes. I don't drink that much. Pulutan lang talaga ang habol ko.

"Does your mother knows about this?"

"Yeah."

Nakatatlong baso na agad si Justin samantalang kaming tatlo ay Isa palang. Iba talaga ang nagagawa kapag broken.

"Tayo ay pinagtagpo ngunit hindi tinadhana
Sadyang mapaglaro itong mundo," I sang while Justin is crying. Para s'yang batang natusok ng isang karayom.

Masakit ba talaga? I thought they were just playing. Bakit kayo ganoon? People will tell you they love you and when you love them back, they will disappear in an instant. It looks like women are only trophies for boys.

"Kinalimutan kahit nahihirapan
Para sa sariling kapakanan
Kinalimutan kahit nahihirapan
Mga oras na hindi na mababalikan."

"Pinagtagpo ngunit hindi tinadhana
Puso natin ay hindi sa isa't isa."

Mas lalong umiyak si Justin sa kanta ko. He is already stumping his feet. Pia's face was full of pity and concern for Justin. Why would she pity him?
