Streyla Freigh
"Let's go?"
"Yeah"
Sabay-sabay na sabi namin. Napagdesisyonan namin na total malapit na ang Music Festival, actually next week na'yon kaya naman ay mag-praktis na daw kami as a whole group, ganun din sila.
Nakita ko si Zky, nauna syang naglakad sa amin at nakasaksak na naman ang lintek nyang headset sa tenga, nakapamulsa ang kamay sa pantalon nya at binabalewala ang mga babaeng tumitili, well, kita naman siguro nya ang pagsisigaw nila though di nya marinig diba?
"David" tawag ko at napatingin naman silang lahat sa akin, maliban kay Zky na deretso parin naglalakad.
"Why?" Tanong nya at kumunot ang noo.
"Can we talk? I mean yong tayong dalawa lang." Sabi ko at tumingin naman silang lahat at binigyan ako ng mukhang 'at bakit aber?' Look. "It's about the music, don't worry I don't like him Ches" sabi ko at tinignan si Cheska. Nakangiti naman syang tumango sa akin.
"I know cause your in to someone" sabi nya at binitawan na si David na naka-akbay sa kanya.
"Mauna na muna kami" sabi ni Gio at tumango naman kaming dalawa ni David.
Nang mawala na sila sa paningin namin ay nagsalita na sya.
"What?" Tanong nya at napakagat naman ako sa kuko ko at lumingon sa paligid na madaming mata ang nakatingin sa amin.
"I think this is not the best place to talk about it" sabi ko at tumango naman sya.
"Follow me" sabi nya at tumango naman ako.
Naglakad kami papunta sa Music Room? Nang nandoon na kami at umupo sya sa sofa at nagdekwatro.
"Now, what is it?" Sabi nya at hindi ko mapigilan na huwag kabahan.
"I-i know you're right." Panimula ko at kinunotan naman nya ako. "I'm coward, I-I know I love Z-Zky but I'm afraid we might end up hurting each other." Sabi ko at napaupo naman sya ng maayos.
"Why would you end up hurting if you will both love each other?" Tanong nya at napailing naman ako.
"I love him but h-he don't love me okay? And we will hurt each other" sabi ko.
"Don't you think you're hurting each other now too?" Tanong nya at natigilan naman ako. Nasasaktan ako pero sya ba? Nasasaktan ba?
"Hindi mo maintindihan eh David!" Sabi ko at nagpadyak pa. " Why am i explaining by the way?" Tanong ko.
"I don't understand cause you never explain." Sabi nya at doon naman ako napatingin sa kanya. "How can we understand what you girls think when all you said is we will never understand you without even explaining it to us?"
"No matter how much we explain, your side will still the one you will believe okay?" Sabi ko at natawa naman sya.
"See? Your doing it now, I can't understand you no matter how much I want to understand you. Why don't you explain and let's see if you will enlighten me?" Sabi nya at napabuntong hininga naman ako.
"Right!" Sabi ko at ginulo na lang ang buhok ko dahil sa inis sa sarili ko.
"I'm afraid... Not in myself but to his feelings." Sabi ko. "If I will continue loving him though I know I still don't get over my ex, I will hurt his feelings. I-I feel that Zky has this attitude that he never did to others while he can to me. I'm afraid we have the same feelings, I'm afraid I hurt him. He's now okay and then I'm going to hurt him? I think if I did that, I'm already like my ex." Sabi ko at pinipigilang huwag umiyak.
"Now I understand." Sabi nya at napatingin naman ako sa kanya. "You love Zky but at the same time you still love your ex" sabi nya at napatungo ako. "That's why you're afraid to show how much you love Zky because you know your heart, half of your heart is still in your past and you might hurt him if he will know that" sabi nya at mas lalo naman akong napatungo at doon na pumatak ang luha ko.
"David, that's why I'm protecting him, is it wrong?" Sabi ko at tinignan sya. Nagulat naman syang umiiyak na pala ako
"No Streyla, there's no wrong of shielding it but how about your feelings?" Tanong nya at naiwan ang bibig kong medyo nakabuka. "Not all the time you will keep your love in to him." Sabi nya. "You only have one heart Streyla, you need to choose between the two. You need love too Streyla. You need it too" sabi nya "Sino bang mas lamang? Sya o si Zky?" Tanong nya at napahagolgol na ako.
"I don't know David! I don't know! I want him back but at the same time I want Zky to love me back! I don't know anymore! The only thing I can do is to----"
"To break your own heart?" Tanong nya at napatango nalang ako.
"David I don't know what to do now, I can't handle the pain anymore! Zky is cold and I want to make him warm but I want my past to comeback and be with me again! What should I do?" Tanong ko at naramdaman ko naman na nasa tabi ko na sya.
"Dapat alam mo kung sino ang mas lamang Streyla. You will really hurt Zky if you will choose him but you love your past too" sabi nya.
"I don't want him to get hurt. I don't want him in pain. I want him to be happy" sabi ko at tumingin ako sa kanya. "David, I want him to be happy." Sabi ko at umiyak nalang, umupo sa sahig at doon humagolgol.
"The only thing you can do is to let Zky go or your past go" sabi nya at doon na ako natigilan. "You can't love them both Streyla. If you choose your past, let Zky go but if you love Zky,let your past go. The thing is, who will you chase? Your past or your present?" Tanong nya. "He's your past Streyla and there's a possibility that you already move on but you keep on pushing yourself to love him in order to prevent falling deeper to Zky. Past is done Streyla but your present can also be your future"
