Grabe naman... ngayon pa lang naging "kami" tapos ending na agad.
I held on him tight, but I didn't dare cry...
Kahit minsan masakit.... Kahit ngayon, natatakot ako.
Regardless of what age we are in, I'm still stuck to that 4-year old me who has always reminded herself to hide all her pain, heartache and disappointments, because she would never dare break his heart.
"Have I already told you "I love you" today? If I haven't, I just want you to know that I do", I said against his chest, as I held on him tight.
I felt him smiled then a kiss landed on top of my head. "I love you, P... always and forever"
Always and forever...
Meron naman sigurong forever.
"Parang ang tagal nun...", I said smiling, but still holding him close.
"Hm?"
"Always and forever.... Walang mintis, Pare... kaya mo? Saka forever- that's more than habang buhay", I said, smiling then looked up at him.
"Mahal kita, noon pa. Walang mintis..."
"Hindi mawawala?"
"Hindi mawawala... hindi magmamaliw... hanggang walang hanggan...", he said it softly, while intently staring at my eyes. I needed to look away, kasi para akong naiiyak. "Meron ka ba?"
"Ha?"
"Ang emotional nyo po..."
"Ewan ko sayo, Tol. Kinikilig na ako, Tapos yun ang isusunod mo", and as I was about to walk away, I felt him smiled and pulled me back to him: "Mahal kita... sa kahit anong oras... sa kahit anong araw"
"Kahit saang pocket ng reality?"
"Kahit saan pang universe... "
"Kiss me", I said, tiptoeing, holding his face.
"Ang bossy", he said, grinning, then I felt his hands on my waist, as he pulled me closer to reach his lips, my feet almost leave the ground, then he whispered against my lips, "mahal kita... mahal na mahal", then he kissed me softly, tenderly, that I almost cry... because I knew exactly what he's doing... he's trying to distract me from whatever is inside my head. He's buying time and he's already concocting ways to know what's happening. And that only means one thing- he'll find out soon, and I need to decide fast.

He was holding my hand when we we entered that tapsi place.
Nagsi-sipulan pa yung mga loko nung nakita yung mga kamay namin.
"Akala namin hindi na kayo tutuloy. We already ordered for you... drinks, hindi. We don't know what drinks you want"
Billy looked at me, asking what drink to order.
"San Mig Light... Isa lang. please?"
He just stared at me, then nodded his head. "Isa lang..."
"Yup... isa lang... isang bucket! Haha!"
"Maupo ka na dun bago magbago isip ko"
"Ang sungit ulit "

We were all discussing random topics when Billy came back to our table.
Ok din tong barkada ni Billy, ang sarap kausap.
Kahit ngayon lang, nakalimutan ko yung mga iniisip ko.
Takas ng konti sa reality- nakakapagod ang totoong buhay.
"Carla! Did you really do a standing ovation sa ending ng End Game?"
"Ha?", I asked, not sure whether aamin or hindi ... parang bigla, nakakahiya pala. Then, I suddenly remember yung tingin ni Bea sa akin that time. Shocks! I wonder what she told them.
