After We Happened

XV. Mine Again

This story is already finished. Matagal ko na siyang natapos, last March pa. Kaya hindi ko pinapublish lahat ay dahil nirerevise at edit ko pa 'yung mga chapters and as I was revising, tyaka ko lang narealize na sobrang conyo pala nitong si Darlin and madaming bad words sa POV niya, madalas siyang magmura. I tried to edit it, kaso naisip ko na magiging iba na. Hindi na siya magiging 'yung Darlin na minahal at natuwa akong isulat ang POV.

Darlin's POV will start noong araw na umuwi si Daff sa Pilipinas.

So, ayun, please bear with his ka-conyo-han at mga mura niya. It was the only way that I knew para majustify iyong POV ni Darling.

Mine Again.

Darlin Andrew Francisco

"Dude, 'di ba kasal ni Darry ngayon? Hindi ka man lang ba ininvite?" tanong sa akin ng kasama ko ngayong si Jayden.

I shrugged at Jayden and drank my shot. Hindi daw ako pwedeng pumunta sa kasal dahil baka nandoon siya.

Sus, knowing her.

'Di 'yun uuwi!

Kaya pa 'yun umuwi.

It has been, what?

Four years.

Four years, since the last time that I saw her. Since that last time that we all saw her.

Ang babaeng mahal na mahal ko.

Pero, ginago ko.

Yeah. I know I was a jerk, but I still couldn't understand why she didn't let anyone know what really happened.

What actually happened.

After all the pain that I've caused her, she's still saving me. She's still covering up for me.

For the mess I've made.

She's very successful now.

I would always see her in magazines, news and even in social media sites.

Para bang pinapa-mukha talaga sa akin ng mundo kung ano ang sinayang ko. Kung ano lang naman ang ginago ko. Ha. Daffney Levanidez yata 'yan.

I'm also guessing na sila na ni Stance, they even have their own Architectural Firm in America.

Siguro nagawa ko rin ang mga kagaguhang 'yun para makita ko 'to.

I've already saw this coming.

Bagay sila.

Kami hindi.

Kahit pa many people say that we were the perfect match, I know that deep inside in my heart that we weren't.

Hindi naman kami bagay.

Hindi ko nga din alam kung bakit ako pa ang napili niya sa dami-dami ng lalaking nagkakandarapa sa kanya.

She doesn't deserve me.

I'm a jerk.

I love her so much, but sometimes... love isn't enough. It never was.

I was yearning for more.

I wanted more to love.

Pero, ang gago ko. I thought the thing that I did was right.
