Vengeance

One

"They say they love you until they find someone they love better and then they drop your heart off like as if it wasn't made of glass, like as if they never asked for it"
-Shi Collantes

Chapter One

I saw him entered the resto, looking handsome as ever.

I quickly smiled at him the moment he met my gaze.
He's 30 minutes late but it's okay.
It's not as if this is the first time.

I just wonder what's up. He's too late and he looks, scared?

"Sorry. Traffic"

He said as if he read my mind.

"Okay lang. Medyo kakarating ko lang din"

I lied. I was here for about 40 minutes now.

"Order na tayo. What do you like, babe?"

"Hindi na. Mabilis lang to. I.. I-- uh.
I have something to tell you"

He seems really nervous.
Nagsimula na rin akong kabahan.

I didn't utter a word. I waited for him to talk.

"Ive, I'm breaking up with you"

My eyes sent wide. My mouth hangs open. And my heart felt like it just stop beating.

"Ba.. bakit?"

Halos hindi ko na makilala ang boses ko. I'm shattered. Broken. And those feelings are recognized through my voice

Hindi sya nakasagot agad.
Tila nag-iisip ng sasabihin

"Kasi, kasi we need to focus on our studies first"

"Bakit? Nakakasagabal na ba ako sayo? I'm sorry babe but please don't do this" my tears starts flowing as I sob continuously "I- I can compromise. I won't bother you when you're busy. Pwedeng,pwedeng once a week nalang tayo mag meet! Or one a month. Please babe. Wag lang to"

I can't recognize my self anymore! This is not me.

But he didn't utter a word.
He just looked at me, pittyfull.
Then he walked out of the resto.
Out of my life.

Hindi ko kinaya. Hindi pwede
Sya nalang ang nagmamahal sakin

I won't believe his damn reason.
I know there's something more.
I won't accept it!

Sinundan ko sya hanggang sa makarating sya sa isang bar.

He looked a bit guilty the moment he went out of his car.

Nandito ba sya para maglasing?
Mahal nya pa ako.
He's here because he was hurt too.

Sinundan ko sya sa pagkakaalam na magkakaayos kami ngayon.

But the moment I entered the bar, napasin kong nag iba na agad ang emosyon nya.

He looks, happy

Parang walang brrak uo na pinanggalingan.

Then a minute later. Walking towards a woman. He is now kissing her passionately

Sexy, beautiful woman.

Ang sakit.

Eto ba? Is this the reason why?

No.
This is just one of his girls tonight to foget the pain
This is just his way to forget me

Lumapit ako sa kanila to confront them but when I'm just a few meters away, my boyfriend--my ex, James, said something.

"I already broke up with her. Pwede na tayo. We can be together now. I'm so damn happy."

I froze. Fuck. My tears won't stop faliing.

"Really honey? Finally! What did she said?"

"Nah. Her dramas again. Don't mind her. We're together now. Wala nang nakaharang satin. I love you. Get ready for later honey" then he winked at her and kissed her

"I love you too"

They kissed passionately again.

I can't move.
Hindi ako makagalaw pero pakiramdam ko tutumba na ako.

I can't fucking believe this.

Tumakbo ako palabas ng bar.
Umaasang kaya kong tumakbo palayo sa sakit.
Baka mabawasan kahit konti kapag napagod ako kakatakbo.

Pero hindi. Masakit parin.

Kaya tumakbo ako ng tumakbo kahit hindi ko na makita ang dinadaanan ko dahil sa luhang nasa mga mata ko.

What did I do to deserve this?
Nagmahal lang ako!
Pero bakit nila ako sinasaktan? Masama bang magmahal?

This will be the last time I get hurt.
Sa susunod, sisiguraduhin kong ako na ang mananakit.

I heard a loud beeping sound then I felt something hit me. Hard.

"Shit!"

I heard some curses then I felt arms wrapping around my cold blooded body.

I tried to open my eyes and saw a man. He looks like a Greek God from above. Nagawa ko pang pumuri sa mga oras na to.

My body felt numb.
But I can still feel my heart beating.

Fast.

Totoo nga ang sabi nila.

Memories of your whole life will pass through your eyes when you're at the verge of death.

This day, I got dumped, hurt, and hit because of my ex.

On the day of our anniversary.

I looked at the man again.
I felt my heart beating fast again.

I smiled. Then closed my eyes.
