Teardrops On My Guitar

c h a p t e r 3

"Dati, kapag umuuwi kami ng province tuwing pasko, tapos hanggang bagong taon kami doon, so, kapag gabi na o madilim-dilim na, pupwesto na kami sa 2 storey na kubo ng pinsan namin,"

"Tapos?" Tanong ko.

Kung kanina ay parang awkward ang atmosphere, buti na lang ngayon ay hindi na, thanks to all his jokes.

"Tapos, kapag may dumaan, magtatago kami sabay tutok sa kanila nung laser na bagong bili lang namin." Kwento niya, saka siya tumawa ng malakas. I know this sounds so corny but every laugh I hear from him is such a sweet melody. Yung tipong kahit araw-araw kung uliting pakinggan, hindi ako magsasawa.

Iba nga talaga ang nagagawa saiyo ng taong mahal mo, regardless if it's one sided.

"Oh, I miss my childhood." Aniya matapos niyang tumawa.

"Ako din. Kung lubos ko lang talagang naintindihan yung mga sinasabi ng iba noon na enjoyin lang dapat ang pagiging bata... I should have cherish every moment of it." Sabi ko while reminiscing. Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na masaya pala ang childhood ko. All those little things.

"We're on the same page, Mira, but today matters more than yesterday. Let's just be happy, cause if the time comes that today would be a memory, we won't regret anything like what we're feeling today." Sinsero niyang sabi. Out of nowhere, i felt butterflies inside my stomach.

Mabuti na lang at hindi literal na nagiging heart-shaped ang mata ng tao even if he's feeling like that.

Drew talks to me I laugh cause it's so damn funny that I can't even see anyone when he's with me.

"Alam mo, you really have grown into a man. Parang dati lang, sinusuka ka na sa guidance kasi sawang-sawa na sila sa pagmumukha mo." Biro ko.

"Actually, of all the girls I had dated, Cardova is different." Aniya. He's not looking at me, but rather over my shoulders. I don't know what he's looking at, but I do know that he's picturing Cardova on his head.

"I can be the stupidest version of myself, and do stupid things in front of her, and she won't judge me. Sinasabayan niya pa nga ako and she laughs at every corny joke I tell." Natutuwang kwento niya, at heto ako, pinagmamasdan lamang ang saya sa mukha niya.

"And I am happy to know that you're happy." I sincerely said.

"I'm inlove, Mira."

"Love!" Agad kaming napatingin sa likod.

It was Cardova, the love of his life.

Agad na lumapit si Drew kay Cardova at hinalikan niya ito sa pisngi. Nag usap sila sandali, bago sila lumapit sa kinauupuan ko.

Tumayo ako at inayos ko ang aking damit kung meron mang gusot o ano.

"Mira, this is Cardova. Love, this is Mira. She's one of my friends." Sabi ni Drew sa amin.

"Hi, Mira. I'm glad I've finally meet you." Nakangiting bati sa akin ni Mira, and she is drop dead gorgeous sa personal.

"I told her that I was going to spend my break with you." Paliwanag ni Drew sa akin.

"A-ah, I'm glad to meet you too." Sabi ko.

"Mira, okay lang bang iwan ka na namin. I have to accompany her in the library." Tugon ni Drew na agad ko namang tinanguan.

"Sure! No problem. Kailangan ko na ring puntahan si Coleen." Sagot ko. And with that, I was left alone again.

It's funny how can someone make you feel so special, but it's funnier to think that you're the only one.

"He said he's so in love, he finally got it right. I wonder if he knows that he's all I think about at night?"

Hayy. Why does life have to be unfair most of the time?

Some people get what they want, while some people don't. Some people are loved, and some people are not.

I immediately touched the sides of my eyes nang maramdaman kong may tumutulo doon, and that's when I realized I was silently crying, and I didn't even noticed it because I was too drowned with my thoughts.

I don't want to be in this same situation again, like every night. It sucks. The feelings sucks. It hurts like hell, and I don't know how long I can bare the pain anymore.

I'm crying over a man who doesn't have a single idea about how and what I feel. I feel ignored but I can't blame him, nor anyone, except for myself.

I put myself in this situation, but staying wasn't my choice anymore.

A/N: yes, I am being inconsistent with the number of words. Lol. Trinay ko namang ipaabot sa 1000 words pero wala eh. Patawad po. Hahaha. Anyways, feeling ko hindi aabutin ng 10 chapters ang story'ng ito. I think mga around 5 or 6 lang.

Hope you enjoyed! Have a great days ahead, guys. God bless <3
