One..two..three things i learned about love *medyo on hold*

Chapter 17: Meeting him again

"Cloud? "

Hindi ako maka paniwala sa nakikita ko. He is here, the guy that also causesd my heartbreak. The moment our eyes met, nakita ko kung gaano siya katuwa na nakita niya akong muli. He's eyes brighten and a smile is forming in his lips. Ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko, by just looking at him parang nag flashback lahat ng sakit at hirap na naramdaman ko nuon. Yung sakit na binigay niya sa akin nung tinalikuran niya din ako when my world is perfectly falling into pieces. Nung iniwan niya ako sa panahon kailangan na kailangan ko siya..

All the pain is slowly building up again.

" Bella? Is that really you? " hindi niya makapaniwalang sabi. Well I dont blame him dahil pati ako hindi makapaniwala na makita siya sa ganitong lugar. " Kelan ka pa dumating? Anong nangyari sayo? Paano- "

" Isa isa lang cloud, mahina ang kalaban " I joked. I looked at him and smiled. He is still the same, pero mas mukhang tumanda siya. Im sure he is stressing his self out.

" I just can't believe that you're here now " Umiling siya " you're so beautiful- uhm I mean you're beautiful back then but your more beautiful right now"

" Uhm thanks! " Ilang na sabi ko " I cant believe I would find you here " turo ko sa lugar. Sa lahat pa kasi ng place, dito pa sa may beach kami mag kikita?

" oh. I live nearby.. And I'm taking care of some stuff. Gusto ko din mag lakad lakad tuwing madaling araw, to clear my mind. " He explained.

" Yeah mukha nga. Mukhang stress na stress ka na sa inaasikaso mo. "

" Sinong hindi ma iistress? " iling niya. " but you! You're really pretty- oh paulit ulit na ako. " Natatawang sabi niya. " you look more.. "

" mature? "

He smile " yeah. I cant see that childish bella anymore na mahilig sa kwek kwek " he laughed at the memory.

Natawa ako sa sinabi niya. Bigla tuloy akong nag crave sa kwek kwek. " But that is the whole point, I left to change. To be more brave and mature. To out grown myself and be more independent. I guess its a mission success huh? "

" Definitely.. " Naglakad lakad kami malapit sa may light house. Nanahimik saglit si cloud, pero nabasag din ito agad " I'm sorry. Im sorry for leaving you bella. Dapat mas naging matapang ako nuon, dapat pinglaban kita- "

" Naaah! Dont talk about the past cloud. Wala na yun " although nasaktan ako.

Yeah! Sana ginawa mo nga yun! Edi sana hindi ako naging mas miserable! Sigaw ng other half ko.

" That is the biggest mistake that I've done. Ang hindi lumaban. Edi sana hindi ako ngayon- "

Natigilan kami ng may sumigaw sa di kalayuan. Isang familiar na boses. " CLOUD! "

I look behind me at nakita ang isang babae na tumatakbo papunta sa amin. " Is that..? "

" Selena. " tuloy ni cloud. By that time, nasa harap ko na siya at ganun na lang ang gulat niya ng makita at mamukhaan niya ako.

" oh my- Bella? You're Arabella Chan right? "

I smiled at her. " Selena.. Hi. Nice meeting you again. "

Awkward.

Hindi din siya makapaniwala huh?

" Wow. You look- "
