Present Day

Red POV

After what happened at the bar I headed home at my own condo unit. Even if we had a big house here in the Philippines I decided to live alone and become independent.

Actually this building where my condo unit was located is owned by our family so basically it's ours.

I went straight to my room and just collapse in my bed. I'm so tired and sleepy after a long flight and another fight.

Hindi naman yun ang unang beses na nang-ganun ako ng lalaki, I mean yung ginawa ko kanina. Sa states andami kong nabiktima ng ganon sa iba-ibang paraan.

And I just love doing it over and over again. Di nakakasawang gawin. Ang sarap nilang paglaruan at parusahan.

Kung sana noon ko pa nalaman. Haist! Di na sana yun nangyari. Nakatingin lang ako sa ceiling pagkahiga ko.

Then a thought strucked me. Maybe it's time for me to begin again. After that thought came into me. I'm drowned to sleep.

I was awaken when my phone vibrated.

Maybe it's someone I don't know since  I'm using a new number. Ofcourse I didn't bother to check it out.

I just stood up in my bed and went in the bathroom and open the shower. 

I slowly took off my clothes and feel the cold water running through my body. It feel so fresh and relaxing.

After that shower seen, I immediately went to my closet to change clothes. I only have some few clothes here so I guest I need to go shopping.

I wear a casual sleek long sleeves and a tight fitted blue denims and ofcourse my Ray Ban sunglasses.

I went straight to the mall and look for some good and fashionable clothes.

I never imagine my life to be like this. And it actually feels good.

And now I can feel the essence of starting and beginning again.

The new me that they never seen before.

After buying my new wardrobe. Yeah you heard it right, wardrobe.

I went straight to some local cafe downtown to eat some breakfast  because I haven't eat yet since last night.

It's Wednesday kaya madalang pa ang tao ngayon.

I enter the cafe and sit near the glass window nakatalikod ako sa pinto at bakante yung katapat kong upuan sa harap. I can see the people outside from this view.

I call the waiter and order some pancake and a cup of tea. As I waited for my order I hear the main door opened and someone enters.

I don't know who it is since nakatalikod ako sa may pinto at nakaharap sa bintana.

I smell a very familiar perfume as someone passed behind me.

I know that smell.

It took me some time to realize who he is.

"Blue.." I whisper his name and look back.

Youre all right. Yes it's non-other than Blue.

The guy suddenly turn around and face me.

Base on his reaction I know he was stunned.

I just smile and keep staring at him.

"Re--red!??" he said with a shaking voice.

"Yup it's me" I answered smiling and cheerfully.

"How? What? Wow!" I just keep smiling.

"Are you meeting someone here?" I asked.

"Wala naman, I'm here to buy some coffee and you? Are you alone?" He answered still in shocked.

"That's good. Yes I'm alone. Actually I need some companion. Are you free?"  I just wanna know what he's doing for the past few years that I'm gone.

"Alright. Yes I'm free" sagot nya at umupo sya sa katapat kong upuan at magkaharap kami.

"Longtime no see, kailan ka pa bumalik?" halata pa din sa mukha nya ang pagkagulat.

"Kahapon lang, I'll be staying here for good" I said smiling.

"Good for you I guest mapapadalas na ako dito" Typical Blue that I know.

"Silly. Di naman ako madalas dito. I was just passing by to eat breakfast" Which is true.

Who would have thought that after that cheating/foolishness act that I found out 4 years ago about our relationship, we ended up not as lover but now as a friend.

How did it happened? It's for you to find it out.

"So kamusta ang States?" tanong ni Blue.

"Same as before ganun pa din" sagot ko.

"Ah e ang lovelife mo kamusta naman? Pwede pa ba akong mag-apply?" nakangiti nyang tanong. Funny as ever.

"Alam mo naman ang nangyari before di ba? I won't fall in love again!" I said smiling and with conviction.

"You can never can tell Sweetie" he throw his head back laughing like a little kid.

"Para ka pa ring bata" sabi ko habang nakatingin sa kanya.

I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause he never did.

"Nakakatawa ka kasi" sagot naman nya habang nakangiti. Those perfect white teeth.

Naalala ko nanaman yung nakaraan. That promise that we are never ever getting back together. I smile to that thought.

Nung malaman ko yung about dun sa pustahan it took me a while and thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end.

Maybe that's the irony of life.

We chat all day long, telling stories to each others. Parang di kami naging mag-ex. Haha Ganon naman siguro talaga kapag nawala na yung feeling
s mo dati mahirap na yung mabalik lalo pa't may pumalit na ng iba.

We became good friends as far as I know. As I said I will never fall in love again. This is the new me.

I think it's the start for me to really begin again.
