Still

Gusto kong maiyak sa narinig ko. He wants to cancel our wedding.

Shit, it hurts. Ang sakit pala noh?

"We can't cancel the wedding, Dasher!"

"I'll marry Sylvia instead." Malamig niyang sabi.

"What?! No! You are going to marry the princess of Gemlitez at si Alex yon!"

"I don't want to hurt Slyvia."

"But you are willing to hurt Alex? Is that it?! Fuck you, Dasher!"

Sumilip ako sa kanila at napanganga nang makitang sinampal ni Ate Candace si Dasher.

"I'm sorry, Ate."

"No, fuck you and your sorry! You don't deserve Alex and Sylvia! Napakabait nilang dalawa and you, you're a fucking asshole!"

"Kung may magagawa lang ako para hindi sila masaktan dala--.."

"Kung pipili ka ng isa, may masasaktan talaga."

"I don't know what to do, Ate."

"Go fuck yourself, dickhead."

Sinamaan ng tingin ni Ate Candace si Dasher bago tumalikod at naglakad palayo.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang lumingon sa direksyon ko si Dasher. Agad akong nagtago sa likod ng malaking halaman dito.

"Alexandrite?" Narinig kong naglakad siya papunta sakin.

Inalis niya yung halaman na nakaharang sakin at tumingin sakin ng seryoso.

"Prince Dasher." Formal kong sabi.

"You heard..all that?"

"What do you think?"

"Alex, listen--.."

"Don't call me Alex."

He sighed. "Princess Alexandrite, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for hurting you. I love Sylvia but I care about you. I care about you a lot."

"So, I'm just your friend? Yung kaibigan mo na magiging asawa mo? Eh ano yung mga ginawa mo Dasher? Yung pagdala mo sakin sa The Falls, yung pagwala mo nung umalis ako sa palasyo niyo, yung ginawa mo sakin nung nasa parade tayo sa Amadelica lalo na yung..yung sinabi mong magbabago ka para sakin. Dasher, ano yun?" Tumulo ang mga luha ko.

He frowned. "Wait, what? Akala ko ba hindi mo naalala yun?"

"I remembered everything, Dasher! Hindi ko basta bastang makakalimutan yon! Pinaasa mo lang ako! I started to like you because I thought the feeling was mutual but hell you already love somebody else!"

"Alex, I'm sorry. Hindi ko rin alam kung bat ko ginawa sayo yun. Maybe I was used to it because I'm a player and I don't care about the girls' feeling. Pero sayo, Alex, may pake ako. I like you as a friend. I care about you a lot."

"I hate you," I wiped my tears. "why did I like a guy like you?"

"I'm sorry."

"Let's cancel the wedding. Let's cancel the fucking wedding, pakasalan mo nalang si Sylvia!"

Natahimik siya. Pumikit siya ng mariin at bumuga ng hangin. "I will."

Months later..
