Broken Strings

I

"You are the best thing that's ever been mine," I strummed the last chord, as I sang the last line in the song. I look up and saw him. Still as good looking as the first day we met. Everything feels like yesterday but, how did we get this far, and this bad?

"How long have you been standing there?" Umiwas ako ng tingin at pasimpleng pinunasan ang mga takas na luha. Nagkibit balikat lang siya at umalis na ng music room. Inayos ko na ang gitara at naghanda na sa pag-uwi.

We were not like this before. I can't stand this. Where did I, or we, go wrong? Saan banda? Dahil hindi ko alam. We used to be a perfect couple. Maybe, we loved each other so much that the hatred bloomed.

Nakarinig ako ng isang malakas na ingay nang nasa tapat na ako ng kwarto niya. Thijs, Reg and Nick aren't here sa headquarters because they're out to buy snacks. But because of this emotional breakdown of mine, aalis ako nang walang paalam.

I packed up my things and got out of the penthouse. While I'm on my way out of the building, I received an unexpected call.
