TOO LATE

TL: PROLOGUE

     "Moe, im sorry. Alam mo nmn ung mga priorities ko. I need to focus on my studies. I need to....." di na nya natapos sinasabi nya.
     "No Julie! I can wait! I could give you the space you want pero wag ganito Julie. Please. Just dont leave me. Baby please" Nagmakaawa na ako sa kanya. She's crying infront of me. Niyakap ko sya pero kumalas agad sya sa yakap ko.
     "We're just 18, Moe! Ang bata pa natin for this serious relationship. And im tired. Pagod na ako sa set up na to. Hanggang kelan tayo ganito? Pagod na akong masaktan Moe." Umiiyak nyang sabi sakin. Damn it! I hate seeing her like this! And it hurts coz im the reason why.
     "Lets fix this Julie. Just dont give up. Please. Mahal kita. Maghihintay ako. I will support you. Payag na ako na maghiwalay ang loveteam natin. Pero wag yung tayo, Julie. I need you." I feel like hell right now. Ang sakit. I cant afford to lose her. Nawawala na career ko, pati ba naman sya? No. I cant.
     "I've made up my mind. Moe, i love you. Pero siguro this isnt the right time for us. Marami pa tayong pagdadaanan. Lets take this break moe for us to be matured enough for everything. Kung tayo, tayo pa rin sa huli. This is for us Moe. For us to grow. Iloveyou, goodbye." She hugged me then left me. She left me hanging. She left me dumbfounded.

     "Hoy Magalona! Saang planeta ka na?! Nakikinig ka ba sakin? Kanina pa ko nagdadaldal dito. Uso makinig noh?! Tss." Naiinis na sabi ni Maq. Hayst. Naalala ko nnmn yun. Damn.
     "Just remembered something." Sabi ko nalang.
     "Something or someone? Tell me, is it Julie?" She asked.
     "I just remembered how she broke up with me." I said and continue watching the news.
     "Ayan tayo eh! Nakita lang si Ex na mahal na mahal pa rin sa tv, naalala na yung nakaraan na masakit sa pusot isipan. Jusmiyo Magalona! Kumilos ka na kasi! You know what? Sayang kayo! Pwede nmn kcng lumaban eh. But you both decided to end your relationship. Pwede pa naman sana kaso ang duduwag nyo pareho. You love each other pero pareho kayong takot sumugal. Nakakaloka kayo!" sabi ni Maqui na medyo naiinis na ewan.
     "I want her to be happy. Kahit wala ako Maq. I did sacrificed for her kasi ayoko na syang masaktan. And i guess she's really happy now with Ben. Ayoko na guluhin pa sya." I said at yumuko nalang. I still love her. Gago ko lang kasi di ko sya naipaglaban. Hinayaan ko syang umalis sa buhay ko.
     "Gago! Ano susuko ka na? Just bcoz you see her happy with that Alves?! Kilala ko si Julie, Moe! Alam ko na mahal ka pa rin nya! Hindi nya lang maamin kasi takot sya! Naduduwag sya. Tsaka sa tingin mo, makikipag usap pa rn sya sayo kung wala na talaga? For 3yrs Moe! Naging bitter yang si Hulyeta! Tapos ngayon sya naging dahilan ng break up nyo ni Janine?! Nakuha mo point ko? Kung masaya na sya tlga bat kelangan nyang ipamukha sayo yun?!" Naiinis na sabi ni Maq.
     "Maq, siguro its too late. Mahal ko pa sya but im too late. Siguro nga tama ka. But shes with Ben now. Ayoko manggulo." Walang emosyon kong sabi. I dont wanna ruin her happiness.
     "Tsk! Its not too late Moe! Hindi naman kasi mundo ung kalaban nyo. Its yourselves. Mga pabebe kayo! But seriously moe, you can still win her back. Nasayo na yun. Ibalik mo ang JuliElmo, Moe. Dont give up! Dont disappoint your fans. Its not too late. The chance isnt over yet. Just do something. Too late for regrets but not too late for a second chance." She said and tapped my shoulder.
     "I'll go na. Kausapin nalang kita ulit next week. Bye!" Then she left.
Napaisip ako. Its been 4yrs. Oo naging duwag ako and i let her go that easily. Pero mahal ko pa rin sya. Nothing changed.

     "Julie, I love you. Always will. I hope Maq is right that its not too late.......Too Late for us" I thought and then off the tv.
