Like Nothing

Life has no cntrl z.

My EAPP teacher once told us that, what makes life so ironic and realistic is that when it happens, it really happen. That in life, you can never redo or undo something that you want to change in your fate. That even if life gives you so much bad memories and bad choices, you don't need to erase it and change them but rather, keep them and learn from it.

Keep those bad memories and choices you made and you get the lessons you learned from those and apply it so that you would'nt have to make the same choices in the future. And so that, when life gets rough again, you have those memories to remind you that life has given you those trials to make you a more stronger and better version of yourself now.

That in life, moving on is the best way to keep your life going.

That is one of the lessons my EAPP teacher taught us that I did applied to myself.

3 years.

Its been 3 years, I know. And I do once believe that Time heals all wound.

But as I stare at the man standing beside Ivan, it was like, all my treasured principles has been shattered.

It seems like, I was back again at the very moment of that rainy new year night.

Its been 3 years and I did say that those memories don't deserve to be remembered. And that I should just let go and move on from what happened.

BUT!

Oh lord God! I really really really want to stab this young Elizalde's head into pieces and remind him for what he did to me on our Senior year!

I clenched my fist as I watch him smiling like a devil he is. Acting like nothing happened. Like he did'nt do anything BAD to me. And he even have the nerve to call me by my second name! The nerve of this guy!

For a second, I thought no one will dare to speak but as I heared Luhan's awkward laugh, I keep my gaze away from Kris.

Agad kong naramdaman ang mahigpit na pagkapit ng isang kamay sa braso ko. Tinignan ko iyon at nakita ko ang kinakabahang mukha ni Euri sa gilid ko. Nakita kong napalunok siya bago tumingin sa mga taong nasa harap namin.

"Ah.. Dude! Long time no see. Bakit kayo nandito?" rinig kong tanong ni Luhan sa kung kanino. Para akong nabato balani sa kinatatayuan ko. Hindi ako makagalaw. Hindi ko na rin sinubukan na tumingin pa sa direksyon nila. Wala ni isang emosyon ang pinakita ko sa mukha ko. Titig na titig lang ako sa mukha ni Euri. SA MUKHA LANG NI EURI.

"Dude, nagkita tayo last week. The hell are you saying?" The devil said and laughed. Sarap bigwasan. Bwesit!

Nang nakuha ko na ulit ang lakas ko ay mabilis kong tinanggal ang mahigpit  na kapit sakin ni Euri at tinalikuran sila. Narinig ko pang suminghap siya ngunit hindi ko na inalintana yun. Alam kong alam naman niya kung bakit gusto kong makaalis. Gustong gusto kong makalayo sa lugar na yun kung saan hindi ko naririnig o nakikita ni anino ng demonyong Elizalde na yun.

Ang akala ko ay tahimik akong makakaalis ngunit halos napapikit ako ng marinig kong nagsalita ang kupal na lalaking iyon,

"Leaving so soon, Sierra?" Aniya. Bakit ba laging naninindig ang balahibo ko pag tinatawag niya ako sa ikalawang pangalan ko? At bakit nga ba niya ako tinatawag sa ikalawang pangalan ko? Ang kapal ng mukha niya, di kami close!

I stopped but refrain myself to look back.

"Yes. I still have some matters to attend to." I said. Bahagya pa akong mahinang tumikhim ng magbara ang lalamunan ko at muntikan ng manginig ang boses ko.

Kung kaya niyang umarte na parang walang nangyare, pwes kayang kaya ko rin yun!

"See you around" At tuluyan na akong umalis.

Naiinis ako. Naiiyak ako sa inis at pagkamuhing naramdaman ko. Ang kapal niya! Ang kapal kapal ng pagmumukha niyang balasubas siya!

How dare him act like that?! How dare him act like he does'nt remember a thing?! Sigurado naman akong hindi siya nagka amnesia dahil rinig na rinig ko pa sa dalawang kakagaling lang sa paglinis na tenga ko na tinawag niya ang pangalan ko at kinausap niya pa ako, walanghiya siya!

How dare him say my name-- my favorite name like he has every right to do that!

How dare him act like nothing happened while here I am, huffing like a bitter girl having her hang-ups with his ex which obviously,

I.AM.NOT.
