The Only Exception

Kapag handa na ang aking puso at isip doon kona siya kakausapin.

Hindi muna sa ngayon.

(Song Recommendation: Back To December by Taylor Swift.)

Andito ka ngayon sa balcony, nagmuni-muni. Tamang pahangin lang. Hindi mo ini-except na ttext siya ulit sa'yo. Ang tagal na rin.

Oo gusto mo s'yang kausapin pero hindi pa ngayon. Hindi pa ready.

If I were a time machine gusto ko balikan ang dati. Gusto 'kong ayusin ang relasyon namin. Lahat nasira ko at aayusin ko 'yun. Ngunit hindi.

At natupad na nga ang Greatest What If  ko.

Siya.

Ngunit umaasa pa rin ako na mamahalin ko siya ulit. Mamahalin ko siya hangganga't at kailanman man.

Kinuha ko ulit ang phone ko at tignan ang kanyang text.

Avery Atlas Concepcion

hi, it's been a while since our break up hahahaha. i want to see you. let's talk.

i'll wait for your reply na lang.

You took a deep breath before texting your reply.

yes, of course. i would love to.

let's meet tomorrow. the usual time.

Not even a minute nag reply agad siya.

copy that.

"Ayon tinext niya po ang kanyang ex na walang sabi sa akin. Ang galing!"

You jumped due to the voice at the back. You held your chest and it's beating so fast just like your heart did.

"Avyanna!" You exclaimed. "Puta ba't ka kasi sumusulpot jusko! Ako ko ibang tao 'yun!" sigaw ko.

"'Teh! Kalma ka lang! Okay?!"

I shook my head and took some deep breaths.

"Sa susunod 'wag mo na akong gulatin alam mo naman na madali lang 'yung ate mo." sabi ko sa kanya.

She nodded her head and smiled at me, "I'm sorry it won't happen again."

"That's my girl,"

This is it. Your moment.

A fast heartbeat in your heart right now, and you are feeling nervous. You close your eyes for a moment and let out a deep breath.

You are doing some breathing exercises so that you won't feel nervous later meeting him. You open your eyes and look at yourself in the mirror, you've changed a lot. Your face got more mature, your eyebrows got thicker, your hair got silkier, and not even your smile.

It doesn't change not at all.

"Best for best," you mumble while staring at your vanity mirror.
