ENZO

"Babe, here." Aila pointed a place sa park.

I smiled and nodded to her.

Yes, Aila's my girlfriend.

Parehas pa kaming nakasuot ng formal attire dahil kagagaling lang namin sa isang meeting.

Pumasok kami sa isang restaurant na wala masiyadong tao.

Aila ordered her order and I ordered mine.

"What's your plan tomorrow, babe?" She asked.

"Hmm..I have a meeting with Mr. Clemente for a project." I smiled, teasing her.

"Whole day?" Tanong niya.

"Yup. Sorry, babe. I'll bawi." I said and held her hand.

It's our 3rd year anniversary. 3 years with her. 3 years without..Aisha. No, it's
..almost 8 years without her.

"Do you remember something about tomorrow?" She asked.

I acted like I don't know anything. "What? Do we have a meeting?" I asked.

"Meeting, meeting. Bahala ka diyan." Bulong niya kaya natawa ako.

I know I'm happy with Aila but, there's always someone I'm hoping that I can be happy with.

Sana siya yon. Sana siya yung kasama ko.

Just like the other couples, I courted Aila. I waited her for a year to answer me but, the day she answered me, I wasn't that happy, I was guilty..for breaking a promise to someone else.

I know what I'm doing is also cheating.  Pero, I had to save her. I had to save Aila.

Habang kumakain kami ay napatingin ako sa labas ng park. Dahil nasa may bintana kami ay kitang kita ko ang mga tao.

Tahimik parin si Aila na kumakain dahil nagtatampo saakin.

Habang nakatingin doon ay may nakita akong pamilyar na mukha. It was her. The girl I was hoping that I'm with tonight.

She's with someone else. Parehas silang nakatingin sa langit kaya napatingin din ako.

The moon is beautiful isn't it, bub?

Nasa gilid kami ng bench na inuupuan nila kaya imposibleng makita niya ako.

My heart broke when she hugged the guy.

I want that. Ako dapat ang yakap niya.

Mula noong umuwi siya ay wala kaming contact sa isa't isa. Nagkita kami sa bahay nila Isaiah dahil nandon si Kaia pero umalis din siya agad dahil may tumawag sakaniya.  And, I saw her twitter post, he's with a guy last night. She looks happy.

I feel like I'm vulnerable pagkatapos kong makitang hinalikan noong lalaki ang noo ni Aisha.

Ako ang gumagawa non sakaniya, e. Dapat ako yon.

NEXT DAY

"Happy Anniversary, baby

"Happy Anniversary, baby." I whispered in Aila's ears as she was still shock with my surprise.

"Yah! Escalde." She shouted and hugged me. "Thank you, babe. I love you."

I smiled.

I am really happy with her.
