Snippets (One shots)

Snippet 3 - Wanna Be Close

She seemed to get irritated. Well, lagi naman e. Everytime I try to wake her up from her fantasy with this guy, lagi siyang ganyan. Ang dali niyang mapikon. And here I am still, iniintindi pa rin siya. As if naman my choice ako. The heart wants what it wants.

Ly: Kief, mali ba talaga na siya yung pinili ko? Kasi I see no wrong in it, e. Kayo lang namang nakapaligid sakin ang ayaw sa kung anong meron kami.

Kief: Oh come on! You know the answer to that question. It's obvious.

Ly: But I just need to hear it.

I sighed heavily. Kailan niya ba talaga matatanggap na the guy was not for her? Im not saying i am the one for her. Sinasabi ko lang na andami niyang options pero she settled for the mediocre.

Kief: Kala ko ba ayaw mong i real talk?

It's her turn to sigh. Alam kong deep inside she knew e. Alam niyang may mali siya. Ikaw ba naman pumatol sa isang taong kasal na at may anak. Okay hiwala nga sila ng asawa niya, pero family is family. Mas matibay pa rin ang marriage contract kesa sa promise ring nila.

Yes, Aly's ex boyfriend, Kristoff, is a married man... and a father to an adorable four year old.

I turned to her and made her face me.

Kief: Okay realtalk na to. Sorry for this but Ly, you keep hearing the truth naman e. Lagi nga di ba? Pag pinagagalitan ka namin nila Den? Pero Ly, you don't need to hear it one more time. You need to listen to it. Isipin mo naman ang sarili mo. Wag puro siya. Damn! Use your head this time! Puso ka nalang ng puso. O ano nangyari sa puso mo ngayon? Edi basag! Isip mo gamitin mo! At least yung bungo mo, di madaling mabasag!

And while I was speaking, nakikita ko siyang lumuluha. Nababasag rin ang puso ko knowing that somehow, ako yung rason ng pag-iyak niya. Not entirely though but im sure my words were cutting right through her like a knife.

Ly: Wow Kief! Magsalita ka, akala mo ba natuturuan ang puso?! Hindi!!! Palibhasa kasi youve never been in a real relationship!

Here we go again. Gusto niyang pinaprangka siya but she cant take razor sharp words. Swerte ng gagong Kristoff na yun, pinagtatanggol siya lagi ni Alyssa.

Nasabunutan ko ang sarili ko out of frustration. I get it, mahal niya. But kelan kaya niya marerealize na this time around, love will not be enough.

Kief: I'm gonna pretend that didnt come out from your own mouth.

I breathed in and out to keep myself in check. Ayokong magalit sa kanya. Though di naman talaga ako galit, I just didnt want to cause a fight.

Kief: But Ly, he broke up with you! Siya na mismo ang nagsabi na ayaw niya na. Alin ba sa mga katagang yun ang di mo gets? Hanggang ngayon ba ipagtatanggol mo pa rin siya?

Ly: Akala mo ba madaling bitawan ang kung anong meron kami? Kief, ive been with him for three freaking years. Ive already planned out a future with him.

Wala na talaga. Im near my boiling point.

Kief: Apparently, he didnt include you in his future plans after 3 freaking years of relationship! Wake up! Best, ano ba!

I was on my feet and shouting at her. I didnt care about the night guards hearing us. I was more concerned of her hearing what I have to say.

When she didnt answer back and the night was quiet again, I decided to go. Umiiyak pa rin siya and she had her head down. Nagsimula na akong maglakad palabas.

Ly: P-P-Pa-Pati rin ba ikaw, iiwan ako?

I didnt look back at her but I just sighed. I can never leave her.
